Baby Face (toy)

Baby Face is an American brand of baby dolls that were manufactured by Galoob in 1990-1991. They were designed by toy inventor Mel Birnkrant.

Baby Face dolls are all vinyl, 13 inches tall, chubby babies with extra joints at knees and elbows in addition to joints at hips, shoulders and neck. They are strung dolls with fixed eyes and rooted hair. The Baby Face series included 20+ dolls and more than a dozen different face molds. The dolls can be identified by a number on the back of the neck.

They sold very well. However, due to events and politics within the toy industry, the dolls were discontinued in spite of the fact that they were a best seller. Baby Face dolls are collectable today. There are websites and collector clubs devoted to Baby Face dolls.
