giggles IDEAL dollS
ORIGINAL BOXES
Giggles dolls were made by the Ideal Toy Corporation of America between 1967and 1969.
"Giggles is one of the most popular Ideal dolls of the 1960's period. You only have to look at her cute face to see why she is so loved. Those dimples on both rosy cheeks are absolutely delightful. She has blue open eyes which flirt from side to side with her arm actions. She has a pink open mouth showing white teeth.
The expression on her face is one of pure happiness and joy."
The appealing feature for children of these happy smiling dolls was the sound of giggling which emanated from deep inside their bodies. This together with a vibrating action made the doll appear to be laughing so hard her body was shaking. When the doll's arms were pressed together she turned her head form side to side and giggled. .

Giggles comes in her original box, original costume with those rare black sandals, and her original instructions on how to make her work.
She vibrates inside, and gives those cute glances from side to side with the arm actions. She still has a giggle but it may not be as strong or as consistent as before but she still can have a laugh.
Sometimes when you push her arms in and out to make her giggle you will hear a clonking sound, and then her giggling starts. I have done a video of it so have look at it below the many photos I have taken.
She is one of the most popular Ideal dolls of the 1960's period. You only have to look at her cute face to see why she is so loved. Those dimples on both rosy cheeks are absolutely delightful. She has blue open eyes which flirt from side to side with her arm actions. She has a pink open mouth showing white teeth.
The expression on her face is one of pure happiness and joy.
She has good even colour all over her body. Her head is made of a soft vinyl and her body is a hard plastic.
She has a voice grille at the front and is marked with makers mark on her bottom.
Not sure if she has had a haircut.
She comes to you dressed in her original knitted fabric 2 piece outfit and her pants elastic has stretched over the years and is very loose. Her extremely rare original black sandals are not broken and can be done up at the side.
The bonus to all this is she comes in her original box which does show some wear to it, and sides have been taped up. There is also some writing on the side of the top lid, and a sticker (may be postage sticker) Please look at my many photos.
But hey it is 50 years old so it is amazing it is still here to tell a tale.

This lovely homemade coat and matching little hat would be as old as Giggles herself - circa 1960. It has been made with love and fits her perfectly. Some of the white trim has come away from the red fabric around the collar but could be easily fixed. A cute little set.
