Subject: A few toys I need help with naming. Please Help...Thank You

Written By: Nickie on 06/14/11 at 11:11 pm

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to remember the name of a doll I had...she came with a tube of lipstick and you would put the lipstick on her and yourself...when you would put her lips to your cheek her lips would move and puckers and she made a kiss noise. My sister had a doll that came with a brush...top part is a heart shaped brush and bottom half is a spray bottle...I remember it came with glitter so you could spray glitter in her hair. I am looking for the name of foam shapes that you can use in the bath tub...I remember me and my sister had them when we were little and I loved them...they were all different colors. We also had these little baby wound up toys that crawled across the floor. They wore just a diaper and wiggled their little butts crawling across the floor. Also another toy/game I had I can not for the life of me remember what the game was called. It was a marble chicken game. The marbles were white and were the eggs. There were tweezers to pick the marble eggs up with. I am not sure if the marbles went into the chicken’s mouth and out the bottom like laying eggs. Not sure if any of these toys or games would fall into 80s or 90s category but I appreciate the help and I asked on the Unknown Toys Page but got no response for these on there.. If anyone knows the name of any of these things please please reply or email me browneyedtigerangel8705@yahoo.com Thank you.

Also I remember these 3 wheeled plastic tricycles me and my sister road when we were little. I forget the names of them and if there actually was a specific name for them. I see kids have similar things now a days but not the same we had growing up. Thank You for the help.

I'm sure the plastic tricycles where just called big wheels and they don't make them anymore. The trikes they make now are nothing like they where. They were simpler and the larger front wheel much like a Penny Farthington bike made them faster. They didn't need built in baskets or electronic dashboards. You rode it and prayed for traction with those plastic wheels with no evidence of any type of tread.

I remember the doll but the name of it escapes me.  It will come to me soon, I'm sure.

Kissy Doll maybe

I kinda knew it was Big Wheels or something. You are right. The types they have today are nothing like they had back then.

If you remember the name let me know whenever you want. Thank you.

This is the brush I described with the doll my sister had. You added glitter to the squirt bottle and squirted it into the doll's hair or your own.

I was just looking around and I think I found the chicken game but its not what I remember it. lol The same dice for it though. Marbles and the name definately rings a bell. Definately not what I was remmebering it as. As I said it has been a long time and I hardly remember it.  It is a yellow chicken though. That part of my memory was right. As well as the marbles and dice.

I looked up Kissy Doll and I couldn't find the doll at all. Thank You though. Hopefully the rest of the names pop up soon just like all the ones that already have.

In the late 70's there was a small doll called Kissy. Her lips were like a rubber stamp and would leave a kiss mark on you. But she didn't make a sound.

I think the doll I had did make a kissing sound. I think its a doll made more in the 80s or 90s. Even as I said before the lips actually move like a kiss too.
