This 18" grow hair doll on the left was made by Eegee. We have named her Erin due to the darling Scottish outfit she came dressed in. She is marked 1967 Eegee on the back of her neck. Her eyes are amber and her hair color (blonde) is very similar to Sheena's. Her grow hair mechanism is very simple - just pull a string in the middle of her back to shorten her hair - tug her pony tail to length it. |
Shelly is a pretty Ideal Tammy clone who had a grow hair feature. She was made by EeGee in 1964. She is a hard-to-find fashion doll - especially one in good shape. Her grow hair mechanism operates by a pull string. Shelly is 12 inches tall. Both dolls shown here are redressed. Shelly can wear all of Tammy's clothes and shoes. Here's Shelley on the left in her original box and dress which looks very similar to American Character's Tressy doll's dress in pink instead of red. |

This little 8 inch grow hair cutie is sure to find a way into your heart and your grow hair doll collection. She has a pull string grow hair mechanism very similar to the 1980 reissue Crissy dolls. Her hairstyle is much like American Character Tressy. She has bendy knees. She is modeling what we believe to be an original outfit. Her shoes have been replaced. Special thanks to Petula for the Bandai doll information and photos. |
There are various styles of Mattel Barbie Grow Hair dolls - this one is Rapunzel, below is New Growin' Pretty Hair Barbie. Here's "Growin Pretty" Hair Francie - she's so beautiful! Her hair grows and she also came with hair pieces for additional looks. |
Whether you are a Cabbage Patch fan or not - this grow hair cutie is sure to put a smile on your face! Our version on the right has hair to the floor in a similar platinum blonde shade of Ideal Velvet's hair. Her grow hair mechanism works kind of like a push button. To extend the hair you tug on the ponytail, to stabilize the length just press her bellybutton! To retract her hair just tug her ponytail again. Our doll has pretty green eyes, a bottom tooth showing and straight foundation hair. |
