Companion Dolls – Patti Playpal

by

In 1959, a NEW and unique design of doll was offered to lucky girls – “life-size” was the defining new concept for COMPANION dolls. Whether a 23″ baby, a 28″ toddler, or a 35″ doll, the size of a 3-year-old, all are the actual size of their real-life counterparts. Most homes could only fit ONE of these dolls at best, so they were treasured.
The standard was set by Ideal with its PATTI PLAYPAL line, although many other brands, including Betsy McCall, also offer similar products. The fun of owning companion dolls is that they can be redressed in clothing from any children’s store, so you can personalize them with an incredible variety. Patti Playpal wears approximately a size 3T, and many collectors enjoy dressing them for special holidays – picture her standing next to your family Christmas Tree, or in a Halloween costume next to your display!
Starting or adding to a collection is relatively easy —there is a wide variety of hairstyles, some considered rare. Outfits, accessories, and brands offer endless variation. Our 5 granddaughters are fascinated by life-size dolls because they can really be a “sister” or friend in their creative play, leading to wonderfully imaginative stories. Adult collectors are fascinated by the delight of stumbling across a NEW hairstyle or color they’ve discovered. Mostly, they just make us smile with delight!
