Hello Sars,
Sometime back in 1976-1980, I had a Snoopy plush doll that was about 10" (or so) tall, and one could buy outfits for him separately. There was a motorcycle outfit, a baseball outfit, a pajamas set, etc.
I now have a daughter for whom I would love to find one of these dress-up Snoopy dolls. I tried to run a search online and all I can find are random eBay offerings. Do "they" (not even sure who they are anymore) not sell this Snoopy doll anymore?
I'm hoping that one or more of your readers can either a) let me know where to purchase a plush Snoopy doll and clothes for said doll, or b) tell me if they know for certain that that era has passed and that Snoopy dolls are no longer to be found.
My own Snoopy doll was played with to the point that he is no longer in good enough shape to handle another child's love and attention, and his clothes are long gone.
I hope someone is able to point me in the right direction!
Thank you,
Not a Peanuts nut, but loved the Snoopy doll
Dear Nuts,
My cousin had one of those dolls! I was obsessed with getting to play with it when we had holidays at their house, too (which she was pretty gracious about; thanks, Cousin H). The time frame sounds right, and I definitely remember those outfits.
As far as finding one now, if Googling a string like "Peanuts merchandise dress-up Snoopy" isn't working, it's down to eBay and your local Craigslist. It may prove pretty difficult to find intact clothes and a Snoopy who's still in good enough shape to be played with, at least at an affordable price, but you never know.
Readers?
