Playsets

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.

Dolls

There were three sets of dolls produced:

Original Set [1987]
Colour-Change [1988]
Sparkle N' Shine [1988]

Original Set

"Look! My hair changes colour"!

Each doll came with a brush and hair ribbon. I believe there were six dolls in the original set.

Colour-Change

"The coolest kids under the sun!"

Eight more dolls were added, including two male dolls. This time they came with one piece of clothing (a shirt for the girls and shorts for the boys), plus a brush each too. The girls also had ribbons in their hair.
