Merry Christmas from Shirley Temple and Tonner’s Elf Holly


These two little 8 inch cuties are all decked out in their Christmas finery while they deck the halls for Christmas. 

Tonner’s Holly is wearing her original elf costume while Ideal’s Shirley Temple wears a Christmas dress she borrowed from Ginny. 

Shirley Temple was made in Hong Kong and issued in 1982. 

Robert Tonner’s Holly Elf was released in 2006 in a limited edition of $500  She has the Tiny Betsy body and a new head sculpt with red hair. 

Most of these sweet little 8” dolls display so well together. Next year I should try adding a Ginny, Tiny Betsy and Madame Alexander to my 8 inch Christmas doll  display.

Until my old dolls were stolen, I hadn't spent time in the Barbie aisles in years, but I had just started thinking "replacement," and there she sat with her sparkling golden tail and the longest blond hair I had ever seen on a Barbie.
