Gregg hit the nail on the head when he said the dolls bring joy. I put my dolls away many years ago when life was too difficult and time was short, but now, thanks to the pandemic I'm rediscovering them and they are indeed bringing joy into my life on a daily basis. Wonderful collection and excellent interview!
Gregg you are charming and informative. I appreciate the guided tours in your collection and through your home. I know it can be invasive but it is thrilling to see the dolls. Thank you for sharing sincerely... Rachel brings out the best in everyone sincerely- Jennifer
I am 72 years old and I still have mine Santa brought me in the 1950s, she does need some repair, but I just can't let go of her ( Tammy. ) Wonderful collection you have. I have a picture of my baby sister with her, and was able to switch out the clothes.
Out of all the dolls I have or have ever wanted, this doll is my all time favorite. Bar none, hands down! I have always, ALWAYS wanted an original Patty PlayPal doll. I don't have any, I guess you could say it would be a "grail" doll for me. But ... I do have all of the Ashton-Drake re-productions of Patty PlayPal. These will do just nicely. But should I ever come across some originals ... I wouldn't know how to act! I mean that would be ...
This is The BEST DOLL COLLECTION!!! Thank you!! I STILL "have, hold, and live with" My "IDEAL Patti PlayPal" 'Walking Doll' from 1963; purchased at "Grants" Department Store!! I am so grateful to be with her for 57 Years and Counting....🦋 I would love to Introduce My BEAUTIFUL DOLL to All Of Yours!!! Do you do In-Person Tours? Many Thanks🌻
WOW! LOVE Gregg's Patty Play Pal collection! I have a copy cat one that I cried for my Mommy to buy me when I was 15 years old. I never begged her for anything before or after. So happy to see all of his. It does seem like toys are alive. Again thank you so much for sharing.
Love Patty Play Pal.or even a knock.off! So much fun to dress..My knock.off has short platinum hair.I didn't play with her much.My dog tore her red and white chiffon dress and my neices tried btushing her hair. She has beautiful blue eyes. Glad I hung on to her. Enjoy having her.
Wow! I have been following your wonderful videos Rachel, ever since I chanced to see them. This collection is so amazing and really beautiful and makes me want to start looking at Patti paypal dolls. Wow! I come from Singapore and love dolls too! Trelly
I absolutely love his collection😍❤ I personally would love to have a patti playpal doll one day, at the moment I have 4 reproduction chatty cathy dolls and 2 tiny chatty babies from 1960's original. I adore the dolls 😍💕💖.
Wow I wish mom would have saved my original patty brown curly hair1959 We did find one recently pretty good condition except she has no neck! I would love to get that fixed, but your collection is mind boggling Thanks for sharing
Gregg, I very much enjoyed taking a tour of your incredible collection. Thank you for sharing. I have a Patty Play Pal that I am thinking of selling. While she has brought me great joy through the years, I am in a situation where it is essential to downsize. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on where and how I might find a loving home for her.
I had one as a little girl, my Mother found her dumped behind our church. She took out my older sister’s dresses and had them tailored for her. Her name was Wendy and she was beautiful, I wish I still had her.
Wonderful! And it's neat you also collect the copycat dolls! But where are Peter and Penny? Do you collect those, too? Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful collection!!!
I collect dolls , have for over 30 years. I do not have a Patty Playpal . I have always wanted one ! Do you sale them ? Or know who does ? Thank you so much for sharing !
What a beautiful collection I have one but she needs work to be done to her I brought her but the seller didn't tell me she was in that condition thanks for sharing take care from my nursery and babies
Was there a Patti Play Pal that played tiny records on her back and walked. My grand mother gave me a doll like this around 1978 or 79 I was 5 or 6. Trying to find one, but none look like her only the Patti Play Pal.🤷♀️
Well In December 1962.patti Okay Pal Came To Latin America And Mexico.The Dolls Are So Beautifulll.And They Were Expensive My Mother Wanted One My Sister Wanted Barbie.Welk The Doll.Was Lovely.Brown Curly Hair.My Mother Took Care Of Her Dolly.She Was .soo.Happy. Beautifulll .Memories
I discover this video trying to learn about my mom's childhood doll. Time passes and we cant identify her. She is and Ideal and she is like 70 cm,with talking mechanism. Since we live in Argentina,she was sold here, and my mom was born in 1965 so the doll its probable from 70's. I asked for her to a lot of collectors around the world but nobody knows who she is! So sad :( But this collection is awesome! I think Im in love with Play Pal family now!
Cool doll display I planing on buying an Idea Man doll manufactured from Gemmy Industries. Size is 24 inches and ebayseller says battery required does anyone know what the doll did?
Hi Gregg, I have an original untouched patty Playpal doll I Would like sell. I did not see one like her in your collection. Never cleaned near mint condition.

Local Children's Hospitals: Many children's hospitals accept donations of toys and dolls to provide comfort to young patients during their stay. 2. Foster Care Agencies: Foster care agencies often appreciate donations of toys and dolls to give to children who are entering the foster care system. 3. Women's Shelters: Women's shelters may accept donations of toys and dolls to provide comfort to children staying at the shelter with their families. 4. Nonprofit Organizations: Look for nonprofit organizations in your area that focus on children's welfare or support families in need. They may accept donations of toys and dolls for distribution to children in their programs. 5. Charity Thrift Stores: Some thrift stores are affiliated with charitable organizations and use proceeds from sales to support various community programs. Donating your Patty Playpal to a charity thrift store can help support their mission. Before donating, it's a good idea to reach out to the organization or facility you're considering to confirm that they accept toy donations and to inquire about any specific guidelines they may have.

I can’t believe they were about $30 back in the 50’s, now they’re extremely expensive today.

He gets them everywhere. A lot of auctions and estate sales.

Hi Rachel I know this is not doll-related but, have you heard the rumors about Greg? Being a manipulative person.
Nope. Never. Not one, he is one of the kindest, sweetest, most warm hearted and talented people I know. I love him.
