Vintage 60s Dancerina doll  (1969)

Because girls dream about being a ballerina, Mattel makes DANCERINA.

Touch her crown — Dancerina pirouettes! Round and round in rhythm to her own recording of the Nutcracker Suite.

Touch her crown again — she changes direction! Watch her whirl — Touch again and see her toe dance with delicate steps forward — and then backward — Was there ever a doll like Dancerina?

She’s a pink confection in silken blouse and ruffled tutu. Dancerina — Bravo!

Vintage 60s dolls: Baby’s Hungry

New Baby’s Hungry is amazing — she really seems to eat and drink! Feed her with the spoon, her mouth moves as she chews.

Give Baby’s Hungry! her bottle, her cheeks move as she nurses. And all the while, her eyes look around.

Glamorous Sally doll from 1967

Glamorous Sally is a doll with great appeal to girls, because she can be changed from a teen-age to adult doll with a wardrobe change and the push of a button. The button regulates her growth from 6″ to 7-1/4″.

Baby Say ‘N See & Drowsy Baby Secret

Baby Say ‘N See moves her lips and eyes when she says things like, “I can see in the dark, can you?” [Coming from a doll, that sounds creepy.]

Vintage 60s dolls: Baby First Step

Baby First Step walks and skates, all by herself! Talking Baby First Step (not shown) can do all that, and talk.

Baby Cheerful Tearful from Mattel

This is one reason little girls love Cheerful Tearful… This is the other.

The pictures tell the story. They’re both the same doll. Mattel’s new Cheerful Tearful can actually change her expression.

Move her arm up, and her tearful pout turns to a happy smile. Move her arm down, and her smile turns to a pout again. (She even cries tears.)

At first, little girls are simply astonished. But in no time, astonishment turns to love. And to endless hours of having fun: taking care of Cheerful Tearful when she’s sad, and making her happy again.

Vintage 60s baby dolls: Swingy from 1969

Because girls would love a friend to dance with, Mattel makes SWINGY.

She swings! She swings her arms… she swings her feet with the “Swingy Step.” She tosses her shining hair from side to side, and dances like no other doll in the world.

Swingy comes with her very own pop record, with music and lyrics to match her mood. And when Swingy finishes dancing, she’ll walk, too.
