I have laughed all day over this doll. I have had her a while, but I have spent a very very long time trying to find her original bubble pipe that usually sells for 50.00 or more. I landed this one for 7.00 and boy was I happy. I always wanted a pipe smoking doll. There are some toys that as innocent as they were back in 1950, they just would not work in today's world. I guess this girl is pretty stressed out with all the other doll competition I have in my doll cabinet. Either that or she can't take the smell from Cat Pee Pony. So, she has taken out the pipe. I mean its so funny looking to have a doll with a pipe. I think they quit making bubble pipes in the 1970's. You 80's and later's probably never saw one..maybe? If they put this doll on the shelf now the parents would have a heart attack. If you put tattoo Barbie on the shelf in 1950 the parents would have had a heart attack. Toys and time and time with toys.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww! She so cute.

My little miss no name would prob send kids screaming and crying if she was on the shelf at a toy store
 
She's training to be the next Sherlock Holmes. Clearly this girl has a bright future in the CSI department.
 
And bubbles are a lot more healthier then tobacco when your sleuthing
 
OOOH! I wonder what the parents would say if you went back to the 50 thru the 60 and had the Living Dead Dolls on the toy Shelves.
 
Ha I remember No Name she is soooo cute. I love that doll, but I have never owned one. @Ology

Baaaaaa @Leave a Whisper you are so funny. I never made that connection. Perhaps she will solve the mystery of why Cat Pee Pony is fully of cat pee since the seller never claimed responsibility. "Snicker"

Oh boy you are right but, in the 1950's they had some sort of shrunken head toy in a box. ROFLOL The bazaar example of it I could find was one from 1975. Boy this is an odd toy for a child. R2 says his sister had this toy as a child. Well, that explains it. Tee hee

That is definitely strange for a doll lol. I grew up in the 90s and we still had bubble pipes. What about "pregnant " toys? Apparently it's ok if it's animals giving birth like Puppy Surprise (and related toys from 3 generations) and MLP Surprise mommy with twins but if Barbie is pregnant, nope not cool! My mom said they made a pregnant Barbie that she wanted to get me in the late 80s/early 90s and she was a day late, they were taking her off the shelves and wouldn't let her buy one at a local department store. I did eventually get a pregnant doll that was bigger. Now that I'm an OB nurse, I wish I still had her (she was called Mommy's Having a Baby doll by Tyco). Might have get her again some day. Heck some country had a breastfeeding doll!

Bet back in the day those dolls with the pooping pets wouldn't go over well lol.

Yeah Midge Barbie friend was released in the 90's pregnant. She has a magnetic belle that when removed had a baby. I think it was a guess if you got a boy or girl. Her tummy went flat after that. Despite the box saying she was married to Rayne I think not really huge into the Barbie world. People were out raged due to her Not having a wedding ring on her finger. They also said the doll promoted teen Pregnancy or something like that. Heck in the 50 or 60 They had a Grow me up Skipper I think she was call that when you turned her arm she got like a inch taller and her chest well got bigger if you know what I mean.

They did have these in the 50/60 baby laughs a lot

And the every popular three face magic baby- I want one of these sooo bad by the way LOL! No Joke!

Yea I remember the prego dolls. I remember the controversy over them also. Oh I had one of those Growing Up Skipper Dolls. It was one of two dolls my bio father bought for me. He hardly ever bought me toys at all. He got me a Baby Alive the first version ever made and that Growing Up Skipper doll. Sadly, I think he had more fun with Skipper than I did. Pfffft That ought to tell you something. She didn't last well. You could never remember which way to turn her arm and she broke very easily. She was kind of neat though.

Oh yea that laughing doll. ROFLOL I have seen that before. I have a three faced doll from 1940. I love her so much. She is a composition doll with a cloth body.
 
I don't have any three face composite dolls but I have some composite dolls from the early 40 and one from the 20's with Tin eyes she is one of my spirited dolls though.

But please show me a pick of you three face composite doll baby if you can that sound so cool.

Actually, I saw bubble pipes at two different stores just today. Still rather funny seeing one with a doll. :)

Certainly, we will photograph her in a few minutes for you. She is really cute.

@Breyer600 I had no idea bubble pipes were still around. I am amazed. I thought they were gone because, I never see them. Yea it is odd with the doll. LOL

@Ology Sorry I am running so late. I got side tracked with a bunch of things and just now got to this.

Here are the photos of my 3 faced doll.

When I was a kid in the 70s there was a shrunken head kit you could get that Vicent Price pitched. You carved little faces into apples then basically dehydrated them. Glorious fun!

That is one of the best things I have ever seen!
 
I wanted (and still want) anything with Vincent Price on it. I adore him.

Lets be in one of his movies. I love those little torture cages. We can be swinging in those trying to break free when a dense fogs enters the room. Its a vampire that Vincent has been hiding in the dungeon. He lets us free and turns us in to vampires. We will then sneak up and grab that Vincent and put his head in the apple dehydrator. We can take turns hanging him from our lamps in the living room.
 
Vincent price is awsome but I'll run off with Boris Karloff. Come with me Imotep

To this day he is Action Hank's favourite actor. We've got most of the old classic he (and Karloff for that matter) starred in, so we watch a lotta old horror. Price was just so uirky and funny. I bet he was an absolute hoot to be around
 
Now I want to go watch not a horror movie of all things but basil of bakers street.
