[ID: Topsy Turvy] Transforming Cinderella Cloth Doll

[apanda0622]

I don't have a pic, but I had this doll when I was little (I think I have it but its in the loft packed away), and it was a cloth doll of Cinderella.  

She had no legs--just long dress.  And underneath the dress, you could pull out another Cinderella, and transform the previous one.  One side was Cinderella in her rags with an apron and ponytails.  The other side was Cinderella with her hair in a bun and a white dress.  

I got this doll in 1985.  I don't remember it having a tag or being in a box.

Does anyone know what it was called or who made it or if there are other ones?

Those are called Topsy Turvy (turvey?) dolls. Various companies made them, and some were even hand made. I have seen many Cinderella ones and Little Red Riding Hood ones.

I think I had a red riding hood and upside down she was grandma and when you looked at the back of the head it was the wolf in grandmas clothes. Think my sister had the cinderella one your talking about

I have also seen Beauty and the Beast and Snow White versions of this doll.

My sister has a Goldilocks one. One side is Goldlocks. She has blond yarn hair. The opposite side has two faces. The bonnet can cover either one. There's the Mother Bear in a yellow dress on one side and the baby bear in a pink dress on the other side. No sign of the Father bear. :-P

I had a couple of these, too - the Cinderella one and the Little Red Riding Hood one. I checked ebay for this, though, and they have Little Red, but it's completely different from the one that I had - much older.
