Extended googling is making this worse.

I think actually Andrew was what I was originally picturing.

OMG at those Anne Geddes things!

Terrifying Good, aren't they? Re-borns are bad enough, but those things take it to a whole new level.

As a child of the sixties I had rosebud dolls, they were always twins, soft plush bodies, and plastic faces
DD had the Anne Geddes ones I remember a ladybird and a bee as well as the bears

Jesus OP. I came on this thread to help you and say yes, do you mean Monchichis?

And this is how you repay me? With your post of 23.31?

DD got one of the monkey things (an Andrew) on holiday this summer. We were in a toy shop and I showed DD as I used to have one. She loved it and used some of her pocket money to get one. Not sure she's played with it since mind but happily it hasn't murdered her in her sleep so all is good.

You should watch last night's tattoo fixers

Are they Italian? I saw a car yesterday with the freaky little monchichi faces on each carseat cover. Not at creepy as China faced dolls, but creepy nevertheless.

A posh relative offered to buy me a Cabbage Patch doll and I burst into tears. She was very tactful and tried to find out what the problem was. I sobbed 'no one wants the real ones'.
It was the adoption certificates that got me, I thought they were taking the piss out of kids with Downs.

DizzyDancer · 13/01/2016 09:19

No you are right. They do still exist

I have two

MaisieDotes · 13/01/2016 09:22

Monchichis have been re-launched haven't they? I'm pretty sure I saw them being sold before christmas.

Japanese, apparently Mavis.

Maybe they are getting trendy again and that's why the car company is joining in? And why DD is suddenly dressing like one? Bizarre and creepy

I have a vague memory that you could get shampoo bottles with dolls heads like a barbie doll head thing was I dreaming this?

MaisieDotes · 13/01/2016 12:52

Ive just Googled and found this Monchichi in Debenhams so it seems they are for sale again!

I wanted one so badly when I was a child!

MaisieDotes · 13/01/2016 12:54

Yes x2boys I remember something like that too!

Shampoo or bubble bath with a doll's head.
