Three versions of Toya of the Starr Model Agency by JPI
In addition to finding
Big Jack this past weekend, I found other dolls that were purchased in the 1990s. These include three
Toya dolls of the
Starr Model Agency by JPI circa 1990s.
Toya is a 6-1/2in/16.5cm fully poseable fashion doll similar to Topper's
Dawn dolls (1969-1972). One of the dolls wears an evening gown, one wears a two-piece halter and skirt, and the other wears a casual pants outfit. The evening gown doll came with a collectible biography trading card that has her image on the front. In addition to her biography, which reveals that
Toya is a newly selected supermodel for the Starr Model Agency and that she sings like an angel, the back of the card describes the agency's founding. The agency was founded by the blonde doll in this line,
Starr, who can be seen on the back of the box along with the other agency models.

Doesn't
Taylor (the brunette on the upper left) look like a post-plastic surgery Michael Jackson?

Glamour Gals, Brian in Dinner for 2 (from the "Dateline Collection") and
Jana were also in the box with
Big Jack. These two are only 4in/10.16cm tall. Both have molded-on clothing.
Brian's package includes a dining table, 2 chairs, place settings, candelabra, "roast pheasant" on serving tray, cover, tablecloth, and his doll stand. That's a lot of stuff for $3.96.

Finally,
Baby Buddies, Big Girl Baby, shown above, also by Kenner ©1994, was in the same box with
Big Jack, Toya, Brian and
Jana. Her accessories include birth certificate, potty chair, bowl of baby food, baby bottle, puppy, and a newspaper for the puppy to potty on. Other than having a dark complexion, I have no clear recollection why I purchased this one.
