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.

1.  rare giggles  gui gui estrela doll working condition, original dress, necklace, original box       aud$500.00 

Picture
This is a rare Brazilian Giggles doll. 

 Gui-Gui doll has:
.excellent working giggle
.deeper blue colour flirting eyes
.long blonde hair
.original dress and panties
​.original white shoes
.original Estrela necklace around her neck
.original box with original elastic tie to secure doll
.date on back of box is Sept 1969

Things to be told for honesty and accuracy:
.box does show quite a bit of wear to the graphics
.neck, side, and crutch seams on doll were separated but have been repaired now with glue - please check new photos.

Gui-Gui is an extremely rare doll and is wonderful to have her with her original box which has the date Sept 1969.


She was produced by Estrela SA, Estrela, a Brazilian toy company. This toy company was commissioned by Ideal Toy Corp to produce some of their dolls for the Brazilian market.  Other Ideal dolls are Kissy, Patti Playpal and Crissy (Crecy).  All of these dolls had subtle differences from their US counterpart.
Estrela produced Gui-Gui from 1968-1979.  They made 2 or 3 kinds of dolls for each year.  In 1984 Estrela made 3 more models and then stopped making them.  They wear different outfits with variations in style and colours.  They came wearing various footwear such as sandals and boots.  Gui-Gui has the same giggle mechanism as the Ideal Giggle.

Gui-Gui blue eyes have a deeper blue shade than Ideal Giggles dolls.

Gui Gui's original box has the same graphics as the Ideal Giggles box.  See pictures.

Picture
This is a  working vintage Giggles circa 1960 doll in her original box  almost complete original outfit, and copied original instructions,
Her original box is in quite good condition but there are some parts which shows some wear.  See my photos.
She is wearing her original striped knitted top, and pants which still has her original elastic in her panties. Her outfit does not have any tags but other than the Australian Giggles doll the outfits were not tagged.
There are some little flaws in the fabric and I have shown them to you.  She has lost her original black sandals but I have given her black suede sandals to complete her outfit.
Her giggle is quite strong and her eyes glance from side to side when you move her arms in and out.  Please view the video below the photos.

Things to be told for honesty and accuracy:
.small piece of white plastic in one eye missing near blue iris. (see photo)
.one eye wants to continually look to one side when just standing but both eyes move right to left when arms are moved
.may have been a small haircut in past but not sure
.usual small marks to preloved doll
She is a lovely working Giggles doll in her original box with copies of original instructions.

IDEAL GIGGLES DOLL IN ORIGINAL OUTFIT & ORIGINAL BOX
WORKING GIGGLES LAUGH
 ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS



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.
