  • Celebrity Dolls were all the rage as 70s Toys. Fashion Dolls and Action Figure Doll Toys of the 1970s and 80s were popular playthings. Peculiar Head Molds and Caricature Face Sculpts were the norm for Celebrity Dolls like Cher, Donny Osmond, Dolly Parton, and more of our favorite stars all the way through the 90s.

    I got a Brooke Shields doll (the blue sweater and leggings version) for Christmas when I was a little girl! My older cousin promptly took off her clothes and made her moon people from the windows of my brand new dollhouse 😵‍💫 Ah, the 1980s.

    When I was about five years old (1978), I wanted a Cher doll sooooooo badly!!! But…little boys in rural Virginia did NOT receive dolls for Christmas in the ‘70s…or ‘80s or ‘90s or… Anyway, when Cher dolls came back during the “Believe” era, I finally got her, along with the “If I Could Turn Back Time” version the following year. I love them even more than I probably would have all those years ago!

    I had a small handful of the dolls mentioned and some others not mentioned. What I have never owned in my life is a Barbie doll, as my mother refused to buy them for me (or my sister) because she thought Barbie was ugly. The other kids made fun of us mercilessly. No wonder I have been in therapy for 33 years. Nevertheless, I loved this video. p.s.: My favorite doll that I owned out of the ones that were shown was the Cher doll and recognized the silver and black dress as well as the red one with the dragon on it. Oh how I miss her!

I only gotten 1 Barbie Doll for Christmas back in 1977. My sister had about 5 or 6 of them for Christmas. We did shared toys. I even had a G.I. Joe doll with red hair and beard. I think that my father got it for me or my sister one year. My father had red hair,too.

    I had the first Cher doll, she was terrifying! They improved for sure. So many of these dolls look like they’re just desperate to get out of their boxes. But I’ve always stuck to the mod era Barbies, though I did go insane for the better Xena dolls. They were awesome. I’d have loved a Wonder Woman doll and… those Abba dolls, in all honesty they’re as hilarious as the Andy Gibb doll. And now Mattel have done a gorgeous Stevie Nicks doll! I’ve been hanging out for that one. Was there ever a Freddie Mercury doll? It would be so cool if they did a Bohemian Rhapsody era doll. I loved this so much, thank you!
