Strawberry Shortcake was produced by Kenner in the early 1980's, with Strawberry Shortcake herself being originally created as a greeting card by American Greetings. She and her frineds became so popular that it led to the production of thousands of other products, including video games, sticker albums, clothes, movies and much more. SSC dolls and accessories were re-issued in 1991, again in 2002 and still going strong today!

There were 21 characters in total, released over five years in various forms. Each doll was dressed in a hat, dress, pants, stripy socks and shoes (or similar) and scented like their name and all came with pets.

A big thanks to Renee for the original booklet scans!
