The year is 1960 and Linda has just received the most wonderful gift. Her brand new doll is made of the softest vinyl and looks just like a real baby. Linda, all porcelain, stands only nine inches tall. She has bright green eyes and a hand-tied blonde human hair wig. She’s dressed in a summery sundress of pale pink Swiss batiste, trimmed with French cotton lace. Her rumba ruffled panties match.

White socks and white leather Mary Janes complete her outfit. Linda’s perfectly scaled vinyl baby doll is reminiscent of the realistic babies that debuted in the sixties. Artist Wendy Lawton remembers the one she received on her tenth birthday. “I’ll never forget, the look, the feel—even the smell of that doll,” Wendy says. Linda’s baby, which has a vinyl head, arms and legs on a cloth body, wears a flannel diaper, a batiste gown and a cotton knit sacque.

Linda and her Brand New Baby can be ordered from Toy Village until May 29th, 2006. At that time the ordering window will be closed forever. Each doll will then be made to order, numbered sequentially and delivered to your dealer. Toy Village Price: $695.00
