I was walking through Goodwill yesterday and saw a box of Liddle Kiddles, small dolls from the 1960's. I picked up the box and set it down, it was $49.99. I took a picture, then left. Sent it to my younger sister and she had a fit! We played with these as kids, both of us recall opening the bottles and smelling them for the first time. I went back and bought them and we split the contents. 8 Liddle Kiddle Kologne dolls still in the box base, 1 without the box, a ring and 3 ice cream cone kiddles with the stand.
I'm going to use mine with Christmas decorations under my 4' aluminum tree. I researched them on Ebay through sold records and the ice cream cone kiddles sell for $30-$50 each! We have no attachment to the ice cream cones and never recall seeing them. I will list after Thanksgiving.
Such fun to be sent back in time by 50 years!

What a score! I would have sent you back to get it as well. Did they smell still?
I so remember the birthday I bought a Liddle Kiddle for my older sister. It was the Lilac one, and she let me open it first! I can still recall that scent. I never had any of my own, but I played with my sister's a bunch.

Technically I am not old enough to remember those dolls, but my aunt had the Klub house and some dolls/clothes when I was growing up that I played with and I ended up getting as an adult (she was cleaning her stuff out of my grandparents basement finally and she no longer wanted it). That is an amazing find!

No smell, more stale than anything else. The rolls are still cute

Being able to go back and experience a childhood favorite is always fun!

What a wonderful score! I would have loved to find that box in a Goodwill store. When I was a little girl my sister and I had a collection of Liddle Kiddle dolls. This was in 1968 and we had the kind that I think came out before the Kologne dolls, although I remember those too. The kind we had all had names and came with an item-like Baby Liddle Diddle came with a crib, Pretty Priddle came with a vanity, Freezy Siddle came with a sled. I had one that came with a lemonade stand but I can't remember her name. We played with 2 sisters that lived across the street and they also had a collection of Liddle Kiddle dolls. We made an entire town out of boxes for our Liddle Kiddle dolls and spent hours in the summer playing with our dolls. Such fun we had using our imagination. Because we moved so often (every 2-3 years) I don't have anything saved from my childhood and I miss those dolls. I've looked on Ebay and like the OP mentioned expensive. One day I'll buy one of the same kind like I had or maybe I should just make a scrapbook page about my memories and save the money I've very happy for you OP for your score. |

I found a couple of my Kiddles when I cleaned out my mom’s basement. They were in my Dawn Doll case full of Dawn dolls! I also have my Flatsy doll too. I hope down the road DD is as excited to find her Polly Pocket dolls when she cleans out my basement😂.

Yay! What a fantastic find!
I’ve really leaned into my collecting hobby during the pandemic and essentially recreated my childhood with all my vintage finds! My office/scrap room looks like a toy store circa 1982 😂

how fun! My older sisters had a couple of the Liddle Kiddles in rings... that's the only ones I ever remember. I'm off to research the other ones on Google, now. I do love finding fun things that I remember when I'm shopping at Goodwill!
It's also interesting (and good for you!) that your GW actually had them for sale in the store, instead of selling them on Goodwill's auction site online. Seems like a lot of the true vintage stuff doesn't end up in the stores any more- or maybe I'm just not in the stores early enough, lol.
eta: bwahaha!! those people at Mattel had good senses of humor- I just found one called 'Little Bunson Bernie Kiddle' and it's a fireman in a tiny fire truck!!! And the fact that they had teeny, tiny clothes for them!! who the heck actually made those clothes? I can't even sew a straight line on my sewing machine properly, let alone sew an entire pair of pants or a skirt that's only about an inch big on a sewing machine!!
