Vintage Reproduction Francie

Stock photo of Vintage Reproduction Francie released 6/116/22.

I just ordered mine here. 

From Mattel.Creations dot com:

55 years ago, Francie was the first Black doll released by Mattel, and paved the way for more Black dolls and dolls of color to be added to the line. We're honoring her groundbreaking anniversary with this vintage reproduction.

I look forward to receiving this MODern doll.

Happy World Doll Day 2022

UNICEF Kids dolls (1990s)

Happy World Doll Day! "Every year on the second Saturday in June, World Doll Day celebrates the idea of a doll delivering a universal message of love and happiness. The day also encourages you to give someone a doll, especially to a child that does not have one. It seems that people have loved dolls since nearly the beginning of time." https://nationaldaycalendar.com/world-doll-day-second-saturday-in-june/

The six dolls in the photograph are part of the UNICEF Kids collection dolls from the 1990s (there were a total of nine dolls available).  The two dolls at the bottom of the above image are Juan from Mexico and Laurie from the US.  Going counter-clockwise from Laurie, above and around are Liu from China, Tanya from USSR, Sita from India, and Moza from Tanzania.
