[ID: Cuddles & Kisses] Little Dolls with blinking hearts?

[Missesgrim]

Hello there,

I know this page a long time but this is my firts thread.
HELLO COLLECTORS!!!!!
Well, I bought 3 little dolls at german ebay and hope you can help me identify them.
I have no idea where they come from.
They have a little heart on their chest but I don't know what function they have. Pretty mysterious!
Please help me





Thank you

I have some of these too and was curious myself!  I found an auction on ebay with this picture:



It was some time ago so I don't know if the ebay item is still around, but I think it was from Japan?

did you see that little green box in the upper right hand corner i think it says hasbro???   i also think the packaged one is a spanish version of whatever the dolls are

The packaging is in Greek.

[zap18]

Yeah, I second that it is Greek.  I do think it was listed by someone in Japan though... overall a very confused doll.  My sister thinks the auction title was in English, and she thinks she may have saved it somewhere (we just can't remember where).

They kind of make me think they could be knock-offs of P.J. Sparkles dolls and her friends.  What do you think?  The new figures may just be influencing me.

Cuddles & Kisses
by Giochi Preziosi and Hasbro

It looks like there is a cord included so that the pet/friend can be a necklace.

(Also, from the picture I think this is the same seller as the other MOC doll pictured above)

Coccolee and Baci

The Hasbro logo is hard to judge. I still want to say 90s, though?

I still don't know what they do. Can anyone read Greek? I guess we could ask the seller what the packaging says?

[Ghost Of The Doll]

I've sent the seller an email to see if he/she can translate it!

[Ghost Of The Doll]

The seller of the Greek doll confirmed that the series is called Cuddles and Kisses, in both Greece and Italy where they were sold.  The Italian name is Coccole e Baci.

Here's an image from an Italian eBay seller:

The doll and puppy are called Valentina and Puffy (not a translation, just what it says), and the italian above translates roughly to "The kiss of my puppy lights my heart."
