Hello!

When i was 6 i had the Charmkin dolls and the windmill house. BUT i also had these mini fairy princess looking dolls too. They were just like Pixie tails except they didnt go in your hair. And they were dolls. They were full plastic bodies non pose-able, with long hair. I always played with them until we had to flee a domestic violence situation and so i lost my beloved set. I had thought about that set all the time for years and years. If anyone could help me please that would be very wonderful as I dont know what they are called and have no way to replace them unless i could find out. They came in a pack of 3-5 as i recall and were sold at K-mart and other stores in the Washington state area. i seem to recall "sprites" but i dont know if that is accurate. Please for the love of god help. Thanks.


Sorry forgot to add that i received them in (86-87) I moved from Washington and never saw them again after that year....

If those were a solid unit (not bubble skirts) i would say it was them But the ones i had where identical to these with out being detachable. The long hair full plastic bodies.. but .. still not them.. /cry These also look far to large as the ones i had were literally micro dolls... VERY small 1 inch or less... 1 1/2- 2  inches with hair

It's all good :-)

I know these are not fairies but could these be it- they came in what looks like packages of 3-5

Nope neither of those.

They were not poseable the heads where small with long hair and they had bodies that were just full plastic clothes... like.. A plastic dress no feet or anything... a head on a dress with hair.. lol geez i sound so off but its exactly what they looked like if i was good at art i would draw one! but i am not :( they are basically as i said, Charmkins with hair. That is exactly what they look like 100% to a T... i dont know what to do :( They were like southern bell flower fairys or some sort like that. The one i remember to be my Fav had Red hair and a red dress they looked much like a chess pawn would look. They had the same body structure... with hair.. Almost like a squinky... but hard... so many things ALMOST look like them... none are. :( /rips hair out.

Thanks hun, i googled it asap when i was enlightened to their name lol I found the one on Ebay and if it was the "bridal set' i would buy it, but its not. The ones i had came in a pack of 5 and i am thinking it was that set. Though i did have the ONE red one.. dont know what set that was from. As i thought they were not very popular thus they are very rare. Just like charmkins. I know its unrealistic to want to replace something like this but its literally been like a lost piece of my soul. I spent hours playing with these in my room to escape the sadness of everyday domestic abuse life. I was very bonded with these pieces. When my mother packed up our little pinto with 3 kids and clothes and sleeping stuff there was no room for toys. I remember trying to sneak it into the back of the car and she took it out and set it by the fence and said, "only things you NEED" i was so upset i cried until i threw up. I couldnt fathom leaving them. I still feel the pain as i did when i was little when i look through all the charmkin pics. I know each and every one that i had. The little girl with the blue dress and white hair was my favorite charmkin. /sigh... anyway... enough SOB story i'm sure. Thank you all for the help. <3

Oh my gosh, unrealistic is SOOOO not the case!!!  I think many of us on this site are searching for these memories from our past for one reason or another.  I am going to pm you (send you a personal message).  But to finish up here this has been a great place to try to "escape" even if only for a moment.....There is nothing at all wrong with trying to find these items and I will certainly keep an eye out for these as I go to yard sales and such!!  Good luck in the search!!

Alright so they were french known as mini pouces- there are a few being sold on Ebay france but b/c I can't read French I am not sure what this says or if they ship internationally.  In this 1 in the upper left hand corner it looks like 2 of the ones you are looking for and it is about $40.

I think there are 2 or 3 others- maybe if you check neighboring countries ebays you may have more luck?!?!?!  I will get back to your pm tomorrow as I am going to bed soon provided I can walk away from the compute lol

Just be patient for some to be listed. Those on eBay right now are the Sit-And-Wait sellers that buy the lots of toys still in packaging (and sometimes very cheap individual auctions) and put them in their "store." Note that all the items are the same price. Then they wait for the person looking for that one toy and is willing to splurge the $80+ for the nostalgia. Unless you MUST have it today, I'd wait for a reasonably priced auction or look around some of the toy forums to see if anyone is selling or trading. People that collect certain things (MLP or whatever) also recognize toys people their age tend to look out for and sometimes pick them up if they are a good price.

Thank you for the links one of them expired... the 30,00 Eur one.. ($41) Anyway it only had one doll the rest were horses which are no doubt cute but have no meaning to me other than wow ... those are cute! lol I will do like zuse said and wait and watch. I dont have alot of money (though had i known i could find these i probably would have saved for a few years!) lol
