Subject: dolls with hair that grows
Written By: Emily on 11/09/04 at 12:37 pm

Hi I'm actually looking for the name of that doll in the 80's that had short hair that you could pull out & make long. When you wanted it short again you would pull her arm up & down and the hair would go back in her head. Does any1 know the name of the doll?

She "grew up" as well. you pulled her hair & it got longer & she got bigger lets call them "implants." I think thats why they didn't sell them very long

I think you're mixing "Dolly Surprise" up with a couple of other dolls. "Skipper Grows Up" was one doll whose breasts expanded, but there was another doll whose chest didn't grow but she got taller--I can't remember her name.

There was a doll called head to toe dolly surprise but I think that was from the
early 90's, but I am not exactly sure if that's what you're talking about!

I remember Dolly Surprise, but I think it was introduced in 1989; I remember seeing the TV commercials for it.
