Hollywoods
dolls were produced in 1987-88 by Tonka. The 1988 Tonka
Toy Catalogue shows lots of new dolls and playsets but
I am unsure if they were all produced beyond the promotional
stage. The dolls were 5" high with jointed arms,
legs and head and had painted-on swim suits, tights (on
some) and sandals. They had colour-change hair which changed
when warm.

"Look!
My hair changes colour"!
These dolls may be from
the first series of Colour-Change Hollywoods, it's hard
to tell! I'll add more as I find them.
Looking at the packaging
(below), this series didn't appear to come with clothing,
just a brush and hair ribbon.
