Tylers-mum Report post Posted May 11, 2006 (edited) I remember as a kid going into hospital and begging my father to get me one which I seen in the post office window. It's a lil bean doll that had a hard head but bean filled body. It was wearing like a babygrow and mine was green although they came in different colours (babygrows). It came with a matchbox for it's bed and sat neatly into it. The doll itself must have been about 3" tall. Any ideas on where I can get my hands on one. I lost it whilst in hospital and was devasted and to this day, I remember that doll and would love a replacement for old times sake. Searched daily on EBay but still no luck. Editted to add, I've just emailed the Post Office service in hope that they can help but I an't holding up much hope.

jb1964 Report post Posted May 11, 2006 (edited) Hi TM, I remember these - my daughter had two pink ones - she wasn't born til '93 - and she probably had them when she was around 5'ish - so they were out a while ago - if I remember she had them from one of those 'boy/girl cone' things you can buy with sweets and toys in for about ?1.99 - and I'm sure I've seen them recently in the small corner shop kind of place. Take care, Jb Edited May 11, 2006 by jb1964 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
