Madame Alexander Baby Dolls

Doll collectors in the know are familiar with Madame Alexander baby dolls, as well as the Cissy doll and numerous others. What makes the Madame Alexander dolls unique? Doll collectors seem to gravitate towards these dolls because of their cherubic faces and the beautiful outfits that the dolls are dressed in.

Collecting Madame Alexander Baby Dolls

Many collectors began collecting dolls at a very young age. If they were lucky, a special Madame Alexander baby doll, a.k.a. Pussycat showed up under their tree at Christmas or other special occasion. These life-like baby dolls were favorites decades ago, and are still cherished by their owners today. The Madame Alexander Company hasn't rested on its laurels, however. A new line of baby dolls, the Sweet Baby Nursery, has been created for today's little girls.

The Original Pussycat

The original Pussycat doll is a 14" doll with soft vinyl head, arms and legs with a cloth body. She is always dressed in beautiful clothing, which usually consists of a cute bonnet, embellished dress and tiny booties. Each Pussycat doll has a specific name, such as:

• Sweet As Pie
• Raspberry Delight
• Hundred Acre Woods Friends
• Sweet Flower Patch
• Mistletoe Kisses

These particular dolls are very collectible, are considered vintage, and are usually purchased for display only. Nonetheless, many girls of long ago took their Pussycat dolls on many adventures. Luckily, the Madame Alexander Doll Company operates a doll hospital to help care for dolls that may need repair after a particularly vigorous journey.
