Here you will see photos of the 1950's Dollikins Doll, produced by the Uneeda Doll Company,
Inc., in the late 1950's. Donned the most "poseable doll in the world", this 19" Fashion doll provides hours of fun for the
avid collector. She was advertised as the "Fabulous, Educational Dollikin - The Original Doll Mannikin - A Miracle of Flexibility".
Sixteen flexible joints, virtually duplicating all positions of the human body!" This is so true.
Although these dolls
are now approaching 50 years old, they are readily available for collectors on auction sites around the web. Their prices
range from $50.00 to $800.00, depending, of course, on the condition of the doll and whether she retains her original clothing,
box, tags, etc. These dolls were manufactured by the Uneeda Doll Co., Inc, in Brooklyn, New York.
Unfortunately, and
much to the avid collectors' dismay, they no longer produce this doll, nor is there any hope of a re-issue for Dollikin.
As
with most dolls of this era, they were produced for children, with ultimate "play-ability" in mind. This is why so many of
these dollies have been well-loved before they find their way into your heart. So, as you can imagine, it is a wonderful
thing for the collector when they are able to find one that is still MINT in her original box, with original clothing, and
not a hair out of place.
Please take a few moments to view the pictures of this incredible doll from the 1950's, and
see if you are not convinced that she is THE most poseable doll in the world!
I would love to be able to include more history on these dolls, however, there is
very little in print (with the exception of the "Hard Plastics Doll & Guide, by Pam & Polly Judd", and a scant couple
of magazine articles). Therefore, most collectors (myself included) can only guess at historical data surrounding
this doll. Most information on these pages was either learned through my own personal collection, shared by other
avid Dollikin Collectors, or from joining internet doll groups who freely share their knowledge. Thanks to all who
have contributed so much of your time, experiences, and knowledge.
