Title: Hook Ups
Post by: Eilonwe on Saturday 27 March 2010, 03:37 am

If we're getting into 2000s toys, I'd love to see a page on the Hook Ups. They were produced by Play-By-Play in 2001 and by Shout! in 2002. There weren't very many, so it would be a pretty easy page to make. I could provide pictures of the entire first line and part of the 2nd.

2001 line:

2002 line:

The 2002 line is trickier, as I'm not sure how many were actually produced. I've been recollecting these for about a year now (I had Raven when they first came out) and the only 2002 dolls I have are Nick and Sugar (she's not even pictured on the back, despite coming in a 2-pack with Nick). So I'm not sure if Grady, Kate, Cookie, Felicia and Sophia were ever made.

Those were cute dolls. I have the Raven doll.

I've done a little research on Google and can find very little about this line but will gladly create a section using the two images you posted.

So, not all dolls made in 2002 were shown on the packaging back and it's possible that some the ones that are weren't even sold?

Yeah, there's barely any info out there. If you want more images, just let me know. I can take individual shots of each doll I have. I should at least take one of Sugar, the doll that got left out.

I believe that's correct about the 2002 line. The dolls were sold in 2-packs and a girl named Sugar was paired with Nick, but Sugar isn't on the packaging. It's possible that the ones I named were never sold and there could even be others out there that weren't pictured. I have seen another 2-pack, but it contained dolls from 2001. I can't remember which two, though I think one may have been Jess.

I'll get out my camera tomorrow and post some more pics!  ;D

The last 12 are the individual shots. The others are older.

Thanks for all the great images. I'll download them shortly and set about creating a page for them. ;D
