Does anyone remember this toy - probably late 1970s / early 1980s

[listsandbudgets]

It was a small possibly beanie doll in a matchbox with a picture of it on the outside. I think you could collect them up in a number of different colours. I had a blue one which I lost on a bus and was really upset about... especially as it was my only one

But I've no idea what they were called and my mum says she has no memory of it so now wondering if I dreamt them

Baby William Dolls.

Matchbox dolls ( beanies).

Aww yes I had some of these!

Think they were called Baby William. Although was all different dolls.

Yes baby williams I had the red one took it everywhere.

God they were hideous. I remember these.

Yes I loved them! But I think we (incorrectly) called them beanie babies

Thank you everyone I've just had a look and yes definitely Baby William. They were so sweet. I think my sister had a red one and I had a blue one. I'm glad to have that solved because every now and again it plays on my mind!

Beanie babies are TY maybe a reinvention of the originals, I'm early 70s so maybe I had an original my 1980s sister had beanie babies .

I had a monkey one!
