is is something like this?

crimbocrazydazy · 09/12/2005 12:32

How old is she? It might be an imitation of a Barbie, not the real thing.

MARINAtivityPlay · 09/12/2005 12:33

Does the fact that it is apparently "Shelly" affect your frantic googling Enid
where have you tried already?

MARINAtivityPlay · 09/12/2005 12:33

dd1 is clearly a keen eBayer...

Enideepmidwinter · 09/12/2005 12:34

aha charlie that looks possible - no pram though

her name is midge i think..try googling that lol

cutekids · 09/12/2005 12:38

sounds more like the "steffi"?! dolls to me---a copy of barbie.i've seen something like this in "be wise".

Enideepmidwinter · 09/12/2005 12:39

maybe I need to retrace my steps with dd2 until she spots it

There was a Barbie Midge Happy Family range but think it has been discontinued.

tamum · 09/12/2005 12:46

Dd has the doll that Charlie linked to, and when it was in the shops you could get a daddy doll with a little boy Shelly in a pushchair. (Interestingly the Midge doll was taken off the shelves in the US because she is pregnant [shock}). Do you have a Woolworths near you? They do Steffi, as cutekids suggested, and Charlie and Cate or something, all look similar to Barbies. If you have no luck I'll nick dd's Midge off her

cutekids · 09/12/2005 12:47

yes, i'm pretty sure she's probably talking about STEFFI LOVE AND HER LITTLE SISTER EVI...!
i'm sorry i don't know how to do "links" but i think you can look at Simbatoys.com and you may find something there. Good luck with your search!

FIMBObellsFimbleAllTheWay · 09/12/2005 12:53

Shelley is Barbie's little sister - so to have the right combination of names, she must have seen something somewhere.................

cutekids · 09/12/2005 13:01

there is definately a family on simbatoys.com with a pregnant steffi;her partner;an evi doll and a buggy and lots of other little accessories.however, not sure where you are so don't know where you would find them in the shops.have you tried looking on one of the toy websites? I know that where i live, you could get steffi and family in BEWISE-although i imagine they're becoming short on stock now.like you say, think of all the shops you've been in with your daughter and see if you come across Steffi dolls.

I know exactly what your DD2 means. Will try and find it.

Stylish · 09/12/2005 23:12

BINGO!

Thats it, but not new. Will try and find it new for you.

stleger · 09/12/2005 23:23

An American lady told me about Barbie's family home - she had got it on the internet from the states. I thought it was Barbie's friend who was pregnant. Does Walmart have a site? I'm sure she said the family grows by the year, like the osmonds!

Thats the american version where Shelly is known as Kelly. I have googled high and low for the shelly version but no luck. The set is known as Strollin' Fun Barbie and Shelly (or Kelly)

Is that what DD2 meant?

Enideepmidwinter · 11/12/2005 17:53

Thanks stylish! Have put a bid in - surely that is perfect.
