Dolls Have 44Almost Human" Talents
Famous "People99
Inspire Toyland
This Christmas the new
dolls qualify for superlatives
all along the line. Sure to draw
delighted shouts of amaze
ment from doll mothers are a
new contingent of realer-than
llfe dolls boasting enhanced
talents in the "almost human"
category, and outfitted in up
to-the-minute fashions from
head to toe.
Side by side are a fascinat
ing array of character dolls
ranging from nostalgic proto
types of beloved children's
stories and movies to totally
fantastic creations and frank
ly ugly monsters.
Joining a new contingent of
Mary Popplns-insplred char
acter dolls are Winnie the
Pooh, Christopher Robin, and
a newly costumed Raggedy
Anne, as well as a Little Wom
en series.
On the fashion front there's
a new Oo Go Patty Duke, out
fitted with fashionable bell
bottom slacks, aa over blouse
with floppy mushroom sleeves,
medium heel shoes and a root
ed side flip hairdo.
Fully bendable construction
permits the doll to be posed
in almost any Go-Go action
stance. Included is a record
ing of Patty's latest song hit.
TV Influences Dolls
Predictably, Batman and
Superman are present in the
parade of new dolls. Little
Lulu, Inspired by the cartoon
character, has a washable
vinyl face and long yarn hair.
A marionette prototype of
Soupy Sales does "the mouse."
A significant trend in the
1966 doll world is provided by
new techniques of sculpturing
faces to achieve highly realis
tic effects. In this category is
a doll modeled to dramatize
"baby's first tooth," a sure
fire compassion winner.
The sculptured features ex
press the pain of a teething
infant. One lone tooth pro
trudes and tears stream down
her face. To help soothe the
pain, a real baby pacifier
comes with the doll. The body
is soft and huggable, and the
limbs are of bendable vinyl,
for complete flexibility.
Realism Takes Over
New in the realistic doll
roundup is Cheerful Tearful,
who smiles, pouts, cries, and
wets.
There are dolls with "talk
ing lips" and there's an off
beat doll called Little Miss No
Name, attired in a burlap sack.
There's another contender for
realistic honors, that walks
alone, with the aid of batter
ies, and goes to sleep when
she lies down.
New realistic note is a land
scaped doll house with grass
that really grows. Among the
most versatile doll accessories
is a kit that has modular parts
which make up into a rocker, '
a playpen, a high chair, swing,
car seat and more.
In the nostalgic doll cate
gory Is Raggedy Anne, a reign
ing favorite after half a cen
tury, bowing this Christmas,
in her first costume change,
a printed flannel night gown
and matching cap.
FOR TEEN-AGERS
Frequently when a teen-ager
becomes a candidate for car
ownership smart dads arrange
to give them one of the fam- -
ily's existing cars, and buy
mom a new one. This plan i
makes two people happy and i
the new car gift purchase a ?
"clean deal." i
THEY WALK, THEY TALK THEY CRAWL, THEY CRY ? and now, doll* lake on Mill one more !
lifelike quality. This Christmas sees the arrival of "Cheerful Tearful," who expresses her "feelings" J
by changing her facial expression. Raise her left arm (above, left), and she smiles like a cherub, i
Lower it (right) and she adopts an adorable pout. By Mattel.
