Dinah-mite Doll

Dinah-mite Doll

In the late 60s and early 70s, small fashion dolls made by various companies were trendy.  The 6.5 in. ten-jointed posable doll in front resembles a miniature Dollikins by Uneeda but is unmarked. On either side are two 5 in. fashion dolls of 1967 by Uneeda.  Dinah-mite, 7.5 in. in purple jump suit, is fully jointed in 14 places. She was made by Mego in 1972.

Libby Doll

Libby Doll

Libby, 10.5 in. from the Littlechap Family, was made in 1963 by Remco. They were described as a well-to-do American family of four. There was Dr. John, his wife and PTA president Lisa, daughter and honor student Judy, and the youngest Libby, a tomboy. The dolls required special size outfits made in Japan. Found without original clothes, Libby is just a token of her unusual family.

Darci and Erica Dolls

Darci and Erica Dolls

Darci, a 12 in. Cover Girl model by Kenner, sold successfully for three years, 1978-1980. She came with a portfolio of her photo shots. This was a beautiful sculpted doll with bendable knees and jointed wrists and waist. Her high heeled feet are superior to Barbie’s small ones. However, she could not fit into Barbie’s clothes and was discontinued. The two Darci’s are on either side of auburn haired Erica.
