| Vinyl Dolls - Amanda Jane - "Baby" | |
|
Amanda Jane dolls are still made today, though not now in the United Kingdom. However, they are still made under the
same specifictions, and are dressed by outworkers in Britain. The company has been owned by the same people since the early
1960s.
'Jinx' was a 1950's hard plastic fore-runner to Amanda Jane, made from a Miss Rosebud mould, and similar to other small dolls made at the time, such as those by Roddy. Early Amanda Jane dolls had big eyes and pursed mouths. Later issues had - and still have - painted side - glance eyes. Baby dolls, though smaller, have the same head mould with painted eyes. For a while, black versions of both the painted - eye girls and the babies, were available too. |
