So thrilled to find this post!!
The pink dolls are very precious to me. I wrote a blog post about them some time ago. My grandfather sent away for them when I was a child. I still have the original box and all the dolls intact.

I had these as a child. my mother saw the ad in the back of an Archie comic and sent away for the in the late 70's she thought that they wouldn't come but for a $1 why not and to our surprise they came. I loved them.
We ordered a set of these around 1976. They weren't quite what we expected, but boy did we have fun with them! I think we had 130 when we counted, and we used them for everything from cake decorations to craft projects - a few were even blown up with firecrackers! Every now and then, we still find one or two in a drawer at my Mom's house!
