There was a spot on her back or belly can't remember it was a water line and when you had the was to the line she splashed on her own. When you took her out she did stop. I'm so sorry I got rid of her as well as my other dolls. I also had Beautiful Crissy, and Penny Brite. Penny Brite was with me until I was a teen when I gave her to my step sister who was much younger. One thing I did was save my daughter's first baby doll and now that she's 26 and expecting her first baby girl I will be giving her back. I can't tell you how many times I rescued her from the garbage. Well, take care, Becky Tubsy did splash.

The concept was bottles and babies go together. They're so cute to look at. Don't you guys love babies? Oh, I think that the bottle babies were so adorable.

I have yet to find one in very good condition with her tub and robe! If anyone out there has one to sell I am VERY interested! I also LOVE little kiddles and remember the little jewelry dolls that you could pin on or there'd be a necklace or racelet? My fav(and another thing I am willing to pay for if anyone has) are the tiny ones in rings! I was born in 64. Take care all, Ruthy I had a Tubsy doll and am now searching for her.

But I'll see if I can find any pics or ads. As always, Google it often & do a save search at eBay. Sooner or later you'll get lucky. :) No, I don’t recall Baby Whistle personally… But I’ll see if I can find any pics or ads. As always, Google it often & do a save search at eBay.

And boy, I remember "Suzy Homemaker"--I lusted after all those kitchen toys. And here I am now, helping my 8 year old clear up her toys. She has TONS of dolls and has ruined a batch of them--including my prized "Hawaiian Barbie" Ingrate! :) Thanks for the trip down memory lane and happy holidays!
