Brenda emailed me this pony description and image:

"I'm buying this white horse from a friend and was hoping someone could help me identify her this is the description my friend gave me: she says Hasbro 1995 on her It's about the size of a Barbie Horse. I've seen them for sale here & there in lots before. But It has a battery section on the tummy & a speaker section between the hind legs. There is a button in between her eyes so I think she is supposed to talk?" UPDATE!!! Thanks to Paula who identified this toy as Dazzle, My Magical Talking Pony, produced by Hasbro in 1995 and made various noises. Although not part of the My Little Pony line, she come with an original style MLP comb. She came with a saddle (and saddle blanket) which would activate her speech when you put it on, an apple or carrot which activated munching noises when placed in her mouth and talked about having her hair brushed if her mane was combed (or pulled!). If you have any more information or images of Dazzle then please email me as I would like to put a page together on her. ID#109

Stacy emailed me this doll description:

"I'm looking for a doll, or set of dolls, that I had in the early nineties. As I remember they are about two inches tall with a hard plastic head wearing a yellow bonnet (not removable) and the rest of the body was soft fabric filled with what felt like sand--arms and legs were just triangles of the fabric sewn into small triangles. I I had four of these dolls--one was a white girl with pink as her outfit, and the other three came as a set of siblings, they were black wearing blue or purple outfits. A friend of mine had a toy from the same line that had a bear's head... Any ideas?"
Thank you! Stacy

UPDATE!!!
Thanks to everyone who identified these as So Small Babies produced by Galoob in 1989.

If you recognise these dolls then please email me. Please include the ID number in your email so I can find my information!

Mandy emailed me these two doll descriptions:

"I've been trying to ID and find some of my fave toys that I remember having as a child, and a couple of them are giving me problems. I was hoping you might could help me figure out who they were, even though I don't have a pic.

1. I remember having several small dolls when I was a child (born 1981)...they were all quite small, 1-2 inches each, and were formed from hard plastic. They were all a solid, bright colour, with no painting. Some where babies, and some were teenagers. I specifically remember an orange baby boy, chubby yellow baby girl, and a purple ice scater....lol. I'm having no luck finding any info about them online since I don't have pics or dates or anything. Maybe someone here can help?
2. I also had a rag doll, who I can remember having from a very early age. She was probably about 2 feet tall or so, but completely cloth. She had a pink dress, shoes, and bonnet that were all attached to her, so they couldn't be removed. She also had pink yarn hair done in braids down the side of her head...and her face was embroidered on, so she had no plastic bits, and I believe no paint. She was adorable, and I'd love to be able to find another like her!"

Thank you so much in advance! Mandy

UPDATE!!!

1. Thanks to everyone who identified the first toy as C.U.T.I.E. produced in 1986.
2. Thanks to Zuse who identified the second toy as most likely being a rag doll produced by Cuddle-Wit.

ID#107

Farore emailed me this pony description:

"I was wondering if you could perhaps help me ID a set of toys. I had one as a child, but don't recall what the brand or name was. It was a series of hard-bodied pony toys, similar to/knock offs of My Little Ponies. However, these ones were bigger than an MLP, stockier and a bit taller. The one I had was pearlescent blue with grass or meadow-flowers along the side and sparkly hair. The side-symbols were larger than an MLP's, and seemed to be more detailed. I don't have the slightest idea what they were called."

Nancy emailed me this toy bear description:

"I am looking for a group of dolls my daughter had back in the early 1990's. They were bought in New York. One group were dragons, and the other group were teddy bears. All plastic, the dragons came in green, pink, yellow and blue. The bears came in purple, pink, white and yellow. The bears all had hair and when you squeezed them, their cheeks would light up. They were maybe about 4 inches high. I would like to try and find them again for her."
Thanks, Nancy

UPDATE!!!
Thanks to Zuse and Shelba who identified the bear as a Light Up Beamer Bear produced by Lanard in 1994. Lanard produced several sets of light up toys in the mid-90's so the dragons were most likely produced by them too.

ID#103

Amy emailed me this doll description:

"I am trying to ID a new item from the 80's. It was a small doll, the best that I can describe it as is a Polly Pocket sized Barbie doll. They came in small packages with a doll and a outfit, they had a cowgirl one and many others, they were about the size of Polly but looked like a mini barbie, they had real hair and movable arms and legs and the clothes were cloth not rubber/plastic, and they came with tiny shoes, hats and other accessories. They may have been made by Barbie but it was so long ago, early to mid 80's. They looked a lot like the mini Barbie's in Happy Meals."
Thanks, Amy

UPDATE!!!
Thanks to Zuse and Shelba who both ID-ed this doll as the line Dazzle, produced by Mattel in 1981.

ID#102

Katie emailed me this toy description:

"I hope anyone reading this can help me find a toy I had with my sisters when I was young in the 80's. The toy we had was a blue magnifying viewer with a blue handle to hold and a wheel that when you looked through the viewer you could see slides of the film "The Rescuers" , the wheel was white and when you turned the white wheel you could make the film of the rescuers go forwards to look at it. Sometimes I could make the film go backwards which was very funny to do, and I would love to have this toy again to show any children I know! I think it was called a moviescope? Hoping you can help."
Miss Katie Fraser, UK

UPDATE!!!
Thanks to Jaci who Identified this toy as Movie Viewer produced by Fisher Price from the mid 70's to the mid 80's. They also produced several movie cartridges including The Rescuers.

ID#101

Karley emailed me this doll description:

"I am looking for a this little doll I had when I was little, she stood on some sort of pedestal/box (maybe a little jewellery box) that had a light in it so that when you put her on it she would light up or her hair would light up. She was small and plastic and her hair maybe had some sort of fibre optics? I just remember she lit up when you put her on the box and the box opened so I'm pretty sure so that you could store things."
Thanks, Karley

UPDATE!!!
Thanks to Rusty who ID-ed this doll as The Light Up World of Everglo, produced by ToyMax in 1995. There were six different dolls - Bride, Angel, Lovely Princess, Ballerina, Fairy and Indian Princess.

ID#98

Jaci emailed me this doll description:

"I had a little doll in 1991 that was very tiny. She had a lot of hair I think. She could be shoved into a small house that opened somehow. I seem to remember the roof being on a hinge or something and there was a door that could open but the doll couldn't fit through it. There were necklaces that came with the little houses and the houses could snap onto them or be removed fairly easily.
I could draw the necklace attachment still today. It was rectangular and had two prongs on the bottom that had hooks to hold the house on. At the top of the piece, it had a cut out of a heart. I remember some of my friends having them too."
Jaci

UPDATE!!!
Megan, Lori and Rusty all ID-ed this doll as a Cutie Club Kid, produced by Galoob in 1989-90.

ID#96

Savannah emailed me these two doll images and description:

"I was also wondering if you could help me ID this doll that I have. She has purple hair and is small, she has a pink stand that her feet sit in she also has a fabric skirt that seems to be in the shape of a star. I had a other one but the doll went missing so I only have her clothing. The doll has no markings or dates" Thanks! Savannah UPDATE!!! Thanks to Bob D who identified these dolls as Sashays, produced by Galoob in 1986. Go to my Sashays page!

ID#92

Diana emailed me three doll descriptions, all of which have now been identified:

"The first doll I am looking for wore a red and white polka dot dress and pushed her own yellow stroller while you did. Do you have any idea of her name? I see her mentioned on other sites, but no name listed. The second doll (left) came in a little nursery that was completely covered over with a gingham cloth. She has a bath, and crib and everything that came in her nursery. Marked Fran Mar Ltd 1981, 4 inches high. Please help me figure out who she could possibly be. The third doll I am searching for was a knock-off of Cabbage Patch Kids, and I believe was called Sunshine Kids or something like that. I have never seen one since mine was given away and am looking for one" Sincere thanks, Diana UPDATES!!! Megan identified the first doll as Tipee Toes produced by Mattel. Diana has managed to ID the second doll herself, she's from Moppet's Secret Nursery. Marci emailed me to confirm that Diana's third doll is indeed one of the Sunshine Kids, which were produced by Playmate in the early 80's. ID#91

Kelly emailed me four descriptions, two of which have now been identified:

"I have a few things that I would absolutely LOVE to find out what they are called, and I apologise now for vague descriptions. From what I can remember, they were probably early to mid 80s when I had them.

1. (see unidentified page)
2. (see unidentified page)
3. Confirmed as Country Yumkin plush dolls by Del Monte.
4. Confirmed as Richard Scarry's Puzzletown

ID#90
(2 of 4 now identified)

UPDATE!!!
Rhi emailed me to identify this doll as Susie Scribbles, produced by Wonderama in 1987. Here is an image of Rhi's own doll.

Lyns emailed me this toy description:

"The doll I need naming looked very similar to a Pin y Pon figure (see ID-ed toys), about 2 inches high, but generally had realistic colours. They came in both genders and had a tiny hole on their tummy so that you could pop on 2D clothes. The clothes were sticker stuck on to flat plastic. You could buy a water theme park/house for them to live in. There were smaller versions (without clothes) they had little playsets, I remember a supermarket and a restaurant. I think I was 7-10 ish so they would be from 1986-1990 roughly! Any ideas? Bought in the UK."
Thanks, Lyns

ID#68

Melissa emailed be this pony description:

"I had a bunch of smaller (perhaps 5 inches tall or so, just a smidgen taller than My Little Ponies) hard bodied plastic horses. They came in various colours with rooted manes and tails. They had snap-on saddles that were made of rigid plastic with a cushion on top (generally a velour like material for the body of the cushion and some type of ric-rac or lace trim around the cushion). They were sold on cards in much the same fashion as My Little Ponies were, but they were definitely NOT My Little Pony toys. They were not the Dream Beauties by Hasbro, they were quite a bit smaller."
Melissa K.

UPDATE!!!
Several people have emailed me to say these ponies are from a series called Enchanted Kingdom, which after viewing and image Melissa confirms are her ponies. They were produced by Marchon (who also made Fantasy Fillies and Grand Champion ponies), but as there is nothing on the internet about them I can't add them to my site yet.

If you have any images I can use to create a page then please email me.

ID#55

Joe emailed me this very short description of a doll he is looking for:

"My wife had a doll that was lost in a move and I was wondering if you might know what it is. it was a doll that smelled like marshmallows had a blue face. It was given to her in the 80's. Can you help?"
Joe

UPDATE!!!
Several people emailled me to say this doll is a Grandma's Marshmallow Baby, which Joe confirms as being correct.

ID#54

Kimi emailed me this description:

"I was wondering if anyone could help me identify a set of dolls. They were babies, about 4 inch in height. Their bodies were hollow plastic, but soft to the touch, matte, poseable and chubby. There was a group of them, and had clothes and playsets you could buy as well. Their legs and arms weren't straight, but positioned as a baby would have them. They came out around the time Bouncin' Babies I think, maybe late 80's. The two I remember having for sure were white girls, one had shoulder length, straight blond hair the other had red, curly hair. There were others too, including boys. Can anyone help?? Thanks."
Kimi

UPDATE!!!
Kimi emailed me to say she had identified her doll as Love-A-Bye Baby, produced my Hasbro in 1987.

Mary emailed me this description:

"Hello! I have been looking for a certain stuffed animal and I cannot find it anywhere! It was a white rabbit stuffed animal with long ears and at the top of it's head it had a little compartment that held lip gloss. I loved this stuffed animal and I really hope you can find the name and if there is some place I can get one! Thanks so much!"
Mary

ID#44

Lana emailed me with this description:

"I have to find out what the name of these dolls are. They were made in 1988 by Hasbro. They were 18" tall, fully poseable, thanks to the way there limbs were attached. Each limb was attached by black elastic cord. The head was also attached this way. I believe that these dolls came with a locket containing a picture of themselves on one side and a place for our picture on the other side. These dolls remind me of the American Girl Dolls. I hope someone can help. I have found several of these dolls on E-bay but no one has a name for them. Thanks."
Lana

Mel also emailed me about these dolls and included three images of her own dolls in the hope someone may recognise them.

UPDATE!!!
These dolls are from a series called My Beautiful Doll produced by Hasbro in 1989.

ID#43

Kitty emailed me this description:

"Hi, I had a couple of dolls from a series when I was a kid - probably on the early end of the 80's. They were cat people - humanoid body and human/feline faces, and they were dressed and named by region. I had French and Russian dolls (don't remember the names!) which were white with purple clothing and red with black clothing respectively. They had soft bodies, covered in fur, and hard plastic faces/paws. I think they were somewhere between 6 - 9 inches tall. I've been trying to figure out what they were for years! Any ideas? Thanks."
Kitty

UPDATE!!!
Lori emailed to say these dolls sound like Fabulous Felines, which Kitty confirmed as the dolls she was looking for.

ID#42

Jennifer emailed me this description:

"I had a doll when I was younger. It had something to do with sisters. There was a older sister a middle sister and a baby sister. There were different sets, I remember one had brown hair and the other had blonde. I can not remember the name of them and that is what I need to figure out. They came as a 3 pack or individual and all came with a charm that had a picture of the "family" They were bigger then Barbie and were bendable but covered in nylon.
Please help me name them if you can. Thanks"
Jennifer

UPDATE!!!
Jana and another Jennifer both emailed me to identify these dolls as Always Sisters, produced by Kenner in 1988.

Amy emailed me with this doll description:

"I have been searching for a group of dolls I had sometime between 1980-1984(?). They were about 4-6 inches tall. They were thin, almost like miniature Barbie dolls. They were rubbery, and I think the legs were bendable. They each came with flat, clear stands (about the size of a quarter, maybe a little bigger) with two prongs - each doll had a hole in the bottom of each foot to secure it to the stand. The women had very long, wavy hair. Their clothes were removable, but not the shoes. (You could pop the heads off and switch them to "change" their shoes.) They had different sets, like a beach scene set, a fashion show set, etc.
I don't ever remember seeing anyone else with the same dolls, but I had a bunch of them, so I know there were at least several different sets out there. I grew up in central Texas, USA, if that helps at all. Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated!! I'd love to see if I could find one online somewhere, or at least know what they were called."
Amy

UPDATE!!!
Hannah emailed to identify these dolls as Glamour Gals, which were produced by Kenner.

These little toys were sent in by Jenn, who says:

"Hi, I was wondering about a couple small dolls I found with my old stuff. I've had them since the early 90s, so I'm not actually sure if they're from the 80s, but pretty close. I had 3 at one point, but lost one as a child. I remember it being in a crawling position, wearing a pink diaper. All of the dolls are very small, about the size of my thumb [but a little wider]. They are hard plastic, with moveable arms, legs and heads, and fake hair pigtails, with plastic bows that are painted onto the heads. All of these that I've ever seen have had black hair.
Also, each one has something different about it, for example, the one in the purple came with a bottle, and her arms move up and down together to make her drink. The one in the pink dress has very loose legs, and came with a walker on wheels. Each one also has a dark pink/fuchsia coloured bracelet with a logo on it on one wrist. When I got them, they came with a pink plastic dollhouse, 2 stories, very simple, with some sticker furniture & paintings on the walls, as well as coming with simple plastic furniture and 2 kittens. Thanks a bunch!"
Jenn

UPDATE!!!
These little dolls are from a series called Baby Buddies by Kenner. They were sets of babies and pets with various small accessories.

The pets and pet accessories are most probably from Kenner's Littlest Pet Shop, but could also have been sold as Baby Buddies.

There is very little about Baby Buddies on the internet so if you know anything about them or have any images I can use to compile a page them please email me!

Question
"Hi, I am desperately searching for a doll I had in the mid to late 80s. I called her Tuggy, but don't know if that was her real name. She had pink braided hair with purple ribbons down the centre of each braid. If you pulled the ribbon, her braid would bunch up to the top of her head. Any direction would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!"
Daniella

UPDATE!!!
Elia and Daniella herself emailed me to say this doll is called Tuggabows, produced by AmToy in 1986.

Question
"I am trying to find a doll I had in the early eighties. She was soft bodied and wore a white nightgown with lace trim and a white bonnet I think. She came with a brown plastic cot that looked as though it was carved from a tree log. The cot had little doors and windows in the bottom for fairies or elves to live in. The advert was an animation of her in the woods with fairies or elves looking after her, a sort of babes in the wood idea. I would love to know what it’s called or where I can find a picture of it. Many thanks."
Rachael

UPDATE!!!
Lauren emailed me to say this doll is from a series called Boo Boos Care. They were produced by Hornby in 1985/6 and based on illustrations by Mabel Lucie Attwell. They are quite rare now and I've only been able to find one image of the toys produced:

If you know anything about this series then please email me as all I know is what was written on the back of the packaging.

Question
"I was wondering if you could help me ID a doll I have been searching for. It was made in the 90's and they came out around the time of "Fairy Tale: A True Story" movie. They came with a cute little stand, and the one I had carried a green lantern, and had dark purple or blue hair, and I BELIEVE she came with a cute stand in the shape of a mushroom?, They had glittery skin, and airy little skirts. I don't know if they were from the movie, or just came out around the same time, but I would love to find out what they are called. Thank you so much for your help."
Jaime

UPDATE!!!
Elia emailed me to say that these dolls are called Fairies of Cottingley Glen.

They were produced by Playmates in 1997 and you can find out more about them at www.darah.com (where the above image was found) and at Toys N Toons.

ID#19

Question
"I used to have these plastic flowers, in pots. When you pour water into the pot, the petals of the flower open up to reveal a small doll. The flowers, including the pot were about 6 inches tall. The dolls were only an inch and a half or so.

"They are '80s toys probably prior to '85 if I remember correctly. They were not uber popular toys, however, in my group of friends, they were definitely the toys to have! Also, I don't know if this might help at all, but I believe they were purchased from K Mart. I don't recall seeing them at any other stores. I really hope you or one of your visitors will be able to help me. Thank you so much!"
Amanda

UPDATE!!!
Denise emailed me to say that she believes these dolls to be Luv Buds produced by Buddy L in 1982. There is next to nothing about this series on the internet, and the search term "Luv Bud" brings up a particularly interesting array of items!

Go to my Luv Buds page.

ID#16

These toys were sent in by Cindy, who says:

"They have no markings in the mould to tell me who made it. Each doll came with a comb, a locket and a matching accessory. I have a birthday toy and 2 punk rocker toys. Their faces are made of plastic and their bodies are entirely made of hair. On the back of them, there is a long velcro strip that you can use to put them on your wrist. I hope someone can help me. I've had these since I was little and the name eludes my sister and I. Thanks in advance!!"

UPDATE!!!
Lauren emailed me to say this these toys are from a series called My Precious Puffs. They were produced by Matchbox in 1987. If you know anything more about this series please email me!

ID#13

This bunny image was sent in by Ian, who says:

"I vaguely remember them, from the late 80's, they were made by Galoob, but as you can see from the photo, I think this is a foreign version judging from the writing on its bib. I think it must have at some point had a baby bottle to make it do stuff, and I think the batteries must have gone in the bottle, as there is no where to put batteries in the toy itself. So I hope you or someone out there can help me!"

The text on the bib is French and literally translates to "cuddly toys tenderness".

UPDATE!!!
A little bit if research found that this bunny is from a series called Lost 'n Found. They were produced in 1989 by Galoob and were about 11 inches high. There were also other animals (cat, lion, koala) and when the bottle was placed in its mouth and their bellies pressed it caused them to cry!

Go to my Lost 'n Found page.

This image was sent in by Amy. The doll and shoe are made by Mattel and dated 1987. The doll is 2.5 Inched high (not including hair) and the shoe is 3 inches high.

UPDATE!!!
Thanks to Jennifer who emailed me to say these toys are NOT from a set called Caboodles (as previously identified), but are actually from a series called Wee Wild Things, which I shall be compiling a page for soon!

Each doll came with a small playset, and there were also at least three larger ones (of which this is one). The shoe to the left is the High Top Beauty Shop playset which came with the doll pictured next to it along with a variety of smaller accessories.

Jacc emailed me this description:

"I am on a mission to find information and pictures of the large boot, similar to the Big Yellow Teapot produced by Bluebird. Not Matchbox's School Boot but very similar, probably made by Bluebird. It is a light brown colour as apposed to the bright harsh yellow of the school boot. The inside is laid out like a house. Can you help me at all?"
Jacc

Theresa also emailed me about this toy:

!I too am looking for information on the house in the shape of a boot. I think it was made either by Playskool or Fisher Price may not have been either. None of my friends can remember it. Please help!!!!
Thanks, Theresa

UPDATE!!!
Thanks to Kate who emailed me two of these images of Matchbox's Playboot. Matchbox produced several Playboots from the mid 70's to the mid 80's using the same mould but in different colours. Two were laid out like a school and one was laid out like a house.

These images were sent in by Heidi, who would like to know more about the series this doll came from. They look very similar to Strawberry Shortcake dolls and were scented too. This one is called Lemon Pop and is from a series called Sweetie Pops.

Lemon Pop	Close-up of box side	Box side

UPDATE!!!
Linda wrote to say these dolls were also called Lil Lollypops, possibly produced by AG Toys and also produced under the name of Daisy Dolls. Linda pointed me to two being sold on eBay and after contacting the seller Ray I now know the names of all six dolls from the Lil Lollypops set. Daisy Dolls and Lil Lollypops were all written in English and the Sweetie Pops were written in English and French. It seems that depending on which country the doll was sold in, the series had a different name!

If you know anything more about the Sweetie Pops / Lil Lollypops / Daisy Dolls series then please email me.

Renee emailed me these four images and descriptions:

"Barkley" Sesame Street Crew	"Laughing Paw" Paw Paws	"Balkar Trobbit" Trobbits and Demons	"Shimmering MerPets" Littlest Pet Shop

1. "The dog has a big black nose, ginger fringe and is 2" high. I thought was either Cabbage patch or Sesame Street but I can't find this exact toy."

UPDATE!!!
Megan emailed me to say that this dog is called Barkley and is from the Sesame Street Crew. He was made by Fisher Price

2. The little bear is a Paw Paw and wants to know which character she is!

UPDATE!!!
Laura emailed me to say the Paw Paws toys were produced by Applause in 1985. They were PVC characters based on a cartoon and were only made for a short time. There werw also plush toys made.
Christopher confirmed this figure to actually be Laughing Paw.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find out much about the toys produced to go along side the cartoon series, so if you know anything about them please email me.
