Title: Mermaid dolls with removable tails
Post by: inalilacwood on Friday 22 September 2017, 01:35 am

I'm trying to find a doll that my wife had when she was young (late 80s/early to mid 90s).

It was very small, had black hair, and had a peach-colored, kind of translucent mermaid tail that could be removed to reveal legs.

I found some images on Etsy that she says might be the same doll, or at least look similar, but the Etsy listing said the dolls were unmarked and didn't give any identifying information. See pictures below. Thanks so much for your help! :)
