TinyTears
TinyTears was (and indeed still is) a realistic baby doll that
cried tears and wet itself when given a drink of water.
Small tears would dribble down it's perfect plastic face, but
yet it made no noise whatsoever. Not a whimper. Not so much as a
gurgle. Babies are easy to look after, its silence said. Why not
have one? The doll fooled millions of girls around the world into
thinking that looking after an infant was child's play.
TinyTears was such a success that manufacturer Palitoy looked
for new ways to make more money from the brand. They released
clothes, potties and baby baths and also produced the doll in
other sizes.
Alongside TinyTears (regular) there was Teeny TinyTears
(smaller) and Teeny Weeny TinyTears (smaller still).
