Liddle Kiddles - Prototype Kiddles

Prototype Kiddles

Prototype Kiddles are a rare find for collectors. These were one-of-a-kind artist samples used by Mattel to develop Kiddles, to introduce Kiddles to prospective buyers at toy fairs, and to use for advertising. Prototypes usually had experimental bodies, unusual hairstyles in unusual colors, or prototype clothing often made from existing Mattel fabrics, like those used for Mattel's Barbie line. Prototype dolls generally had hand painted faces, and some were created only as heads with no bodies.
