Thanks for the pic. As I expected - a “toy” with oversized breasts and sexual organs. The arms and legs are so stunted that, if you put it on it’s back, it looks like a Christmas turkey.

I believe they’ve also determined that these toys were only played with on Tuesdays.

I knew it looked familiar to a current day piece of artwork floating around!

Maybe the package just deteriorated because it was made of perishable materials. ;’)

No way. My dollies never had boobs and a rounded belly like that. These figurines were for touching, to rub off some luck to get pregnant by.
