Can someone ID this character for me?

[Bosco685]

I think that's it, well found!

 

Not the same hair design (three hairs in front). But same big eyes, face and body design.

Probably a redesign but I bet thats it

Take his clothes off and search all over for any makers marks

 

yep then google em

 

Take a few more pics of him standing up

 

This is all great advice. You should google pics of naked boy toys standing straight up.

It definitely looks closer than anything I found online.

 

I checked 'Ole Miss dolls' and 'Michigan State dolls' as a search category. Nothing came up even close to what that looks like.

 

But there was this under 'Ole Miss dolls'.

Possibly Monica from Turma da Monica, a Brazilian cartoon.

Thank you very much!

Man, these boards are like the World's Greatest Detective Agency, sometimes.

 

I'm in awe.

[Gatchaman]

Hey Chip, are there any markings on the bottoms of his feet?

[Chip Cataldo]

There are no markings anywhere on this thing. The body itself is a brown foam-type material under a white body-suit (kinda like a baby's onesie). The only plastic pieces are the arms (up to the elbow) the legs (up to the knee) and the head/neck. No tags on the clothes, no copyright info on any plastic piece at all. It's a complete mystery if not for Ares lead. Even searching all through eBay/Google I can't find a character/outfit match at all.

 

Peace,

It's definitely 100% Monica and yes these boards should be utilized by the FBI

I'm not kidding

And, those dolls are apparently quite valuable Chip

One with an M shirt should command a premium

Sold listings dont show much but current listing seems to indicate there's some type of collectible nature going on

[Gatchaman]

Those aren't the same ones in the eBay auctions though. Their mouths and fingers are not the same.

[Chip Cataldo]

Thanks for the links, Kav but I've already done all those searches. There's nothing there that's the same outfit-wise, but the body constructions is similar. The tallest doll shown is 14" and the one I have is 20".

 

I'll probably just put it up for $499.99 and field offers. Judging by the materials used and the fabric it seems to be from the 1960s or early 1970s.

 

Peace,

Like any doll it has many variations

[Gatchaman]

I'm sorry Kav, I'm not trying to be argumentative. I should have written more in my last post. Nowhere on eBay for sale or sold and nowhere in internet searches I have done, include Google Images, have turned up any dolls that look like this one. I do have a background in collectible toys and have never seen any like this.

 

The biggest thing in the back of my mind in listing things is listing something that isn't was it is.

[Chip Cataldo]

One thing I'm hoping to do is when I list it to have someone message me and give me more info on it. I've done that before and then revised the info/price with the new information. There's just nothing out there on this particular piece.

 

Peace,

Now that you mention it I don't see the distinctive 3 hairs in Chip's doll

[kav]

Possibly it's one of the other characters from the show although I cant find one with that hair style

[kav]

Chip if you post a straight-on shot I can do a reverse image search
