Kissy
"I put lip-print kisses on notes & folks!"
By Euphrates


Throughout the years Ideal has made many dolls that featured variations on the kissing 
theme.  The earlier baby dolls generally puckered their lips and made a kissing sound when
you pushed their arms in together.


In 1979 Ideal Kiddle-sized the Kissy theme to 3 inches.  These girls did not need any 
manipulation to pucker up.  Their faces were molded with an exaggerated pair of lips that 
a child could use to stamp kisses on books, walls and skin.  The dolls came in 3 rooted 
hair-colors: brunette, blonde and red.


Kissys are another one of those toys that are hard to find but very inexpensive.  You can
get boxed dolls for well under $20.
