Title: [ID: Shimmers] half-person-half-animal dolls
Post by: cherryfluff on Thursday 10 March 2011, 11:31 am

In the early 90s my mon brought home from a business trip two sets of plastic figure-type dolls.  Each was blister packaged and had a "mother" doll and a "baby" version.  One was a pink glittery deer and the other was a butterfly (probably purple, it was for my sister).  The lower half of the body was that of an animal, and the top half was a human.  In other words, the deer resembled a pretty centaur.  The mothers were probably about four to five inches tall, and the babies were roughly an inch or two in height.  

I forever regret trading them to a friend, and would do just about anything to find them again.  Since I could find no photos, I drew up the deer family.  I know it's not a lot to go on, but...  please help?  Childhood guilt stays with you a looooong time.  ;_;
