Dollikins
Doll brand / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dollikins were dolls manufactured by Uneeda Doll Company,[1] a company founded in 1917 by the Sklarsky family in Brooklyn, New York.[2] Dollikins were marketed as The World's Most Posable Doll.[3] The dolls were manufactured from 1957 to 1980. Originally, Dollikins were designed to compete with similar 18–21 inch sized dolls that were popular through the 1950s and 1960s, such as Madame Alexander's "Cissy", Ideal's "Revlon", American Character's "Toni", Deluxe Reading's "Candy" Horseman's "Sindy". Horseman's "Wonderkin" and Valentine's "Mannikin". The dolls started at 19-20" tall and featured sleepy eyes, although later versions were 12" and 6" without sleepy eyes due to the popularity of the Mattel Barbie Doll which is 11.5 inches and the Topper Dawn doll which was 6 inches.
