Recently I saw a big doll on a stall. Clearly from the Sixties or Seventies, the unusual feature was the key at the back. It was musical and played a lullaby, whist gently rocking.
Googling musical rocking dolls brought me to ... Baby Rock a Bye! And yep, I would say that's the doll I saw, 18 inches tall, like the Kenner ALIEN!
Obviously a design that kept on rockin', Baby Rock a Bye morphed into or came from .... Jane and Jenny!

But then again, Lucy maybe the wellspring too.

I bet this doll in some form or other appeared in some Sixties or Seventies TV show like the Avengers.
Is it a doll you know readers?
Here it is in lullaby mode. Careful! You may fall asleep!
That is a very neat looking toy. It certainly looks like a number of companies tried out the idea.
ReplyDeleteYep, Paul, you can't keep a good idea to yourself!
DeleteNot in the toy industry you can not - hoist the Jolly Roger, and make off with someone else's design.
