Vestida de Azul 18 inch Boy

A handsome 18-inch (45 cm) boy by Vestida de Azul joins the collection.

This handsome, new-to-me doll was purchased from another collector. He has a custom short curly brown wig permanently attached to his now-cut rooted brown hair. Made in Europe by Vestida de Azul of Spain, he might have originated as a doll like the one shown here (except the other doll's hair is black and much longer).

His jersey reads "Team USA 23."

I like the shorter wig and the way the previous owner dressed him in a sports outfit and Chuck's-style high-top sneakers.

He needed something to hold. So, I gave him a piece of Dubble Bubble bubble gum.

Made of all rubber-like, sturdy vinyl, he has brown stationary eyes and applied upper eyelashes. A rare 18-inch Black boy doll, the girls in the collection will have to make room for his presence.

Felt Doll by Mary Vasquez

Brown felt doll by Mary Vazquez

This circa 1980s doll by Mary Vazquez manufactured by Lloyderson Dolls of Spain was recently offered on eBay during a time that I obviously needed low-cost retail therapy.

She is 20 inches tall, made of brown felt with a brown felt shoulder plate. Her hard molded, Tweety bird-shaped head is covered with brown felt.

Yarn was used for the baby's short black hair.  She has black side-glancing eyes and a cute pouty mouth.

The body and limbs are stuffed cloth. The limbs are brown felt; the body is white cloth.

She wears a brass-tone bracelet.

This baby wears her original pink and white striped romper, matching bonnet, and a brass-tone bracelet with a charm that reads Mary Vazquez. I'll add white booties to complete her look later.

I think she is adorable.

I have not found much information about the artist or the company for whom she made dolls (Lloyderson Dolls of Spain) but my research will continue and I will update this post accordingly.
