| Ideal did manufacture dolls beside Crissy. Here are some of the ones that I own. All dolls are shown in their original outfits with the exception of Tiffany Taylor. |
|
Giggles is soooo cute! She has the prettiest reddish brown hair & when you press her hands together, or move them apart she giggles! I'm lucky in that mine still works. She's a tad bit chubby and has well rounded cheeks just like a real toddler. Ideal also made a Baby Giggles, but as far as I know there was no African American version of this doll. |

Sara Lee is the first doll actually "based" upon a black child. Her creator, Sara Lee Creech measured black children to determine correct features and characteristics. In fact, Sara Lee was advertised as the first mass-produced anthropologically correct black doll. She's 17 inches, very well made and has excellent display quality. Made in the early 1950's she was popular among black and white children alike, she later encountered problems when African Americans felt that her skin color was too dark. I personally think that Sara Lee makes a great display doll and that dolls should come in all shades of the black rainbow! |

Tiffany Taylor has the sexiest eye make up around. She can even change her hair color on a whim, either reddish brown, or black, depending on her mood, by moving the hair on her scalp in a clockwise motion. She looks really grown up and I can't imagine a little girl playing with her. |

Tuesday Taylor is a fashion model that sports her original 3-piece white suit (I hope that isn't polyester!). She even comes with her fashion stepper. For some reason, she reminds me of Charlie's Angels, go figure! |
|
Grown Up Tammy is a rare find in the black version. She has reddish brown hair that is similar to the hair color used on Giggles. She's slightly shorter and slimmer than the standard Tammy. She's all original in her red & white striped v-neck midriff top and blue skirt. I even have her original box! |
