Peteena the Pampered Poodle Doll Hasbro made one year 1966 . She is 9 inches tall and had clothes you could buy separate for her . She is a Hard-to-find doll and sought after; The removable tail is often missing and her fur hair often matted and missing. She is wearing her original Bikini, bracelet, hat and is missing her sunglasses. What a fun novelty doll she is . She is sought after and still commands a good price .
Have not posted in a long time and thought I was overdue . Hi to all and have missed the old gang /
mani
A swinger toy..that is unusual!
Thanks Dav !
Adorable poodle girl, sweet face and cute little tail. Fabulous post Mani
This is very cool but also a little strange
but that’s the way the 60s were
Fantastic you found it in such Great shape
with accessories
And what a lovely one to post again with Mani!..she is so very cute, I’ve never seen one of these..so nice to see you posting again, we have missed you too! xoxo
She has those wonderful eyes and that rare tail to still be there is a wowser. Her condition is stellar and almost complete. I imagine the glasses are findable with some searching. Quite the find Mani, congratulations !~
So great to see a post from you Mani, and a special one as always.
I've never seen or heard of Peteena before.
Weird, wonderful, so 60s!
Amazing you found one in this condition.

She is very unusual Mani so nice to see you posting again . It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since I discovered CW and made so many wonderful friends :)
Manikin, Hmmm, interesting. };-)

Peteena is a doll made by Hasbro in, and only in, 1966. She was completely misunderstood because Hasbro discontinued her after only one year.

Misunderstood by whom, Hasbro or the consumer?
I guess I have to keep in mind that Barbie has her origins in a doll that wasn't meant to be a toy for children.

Manikin, I've thought about it some more, and please forgive me if my previous comment on this post offends you in any way.
It's just that I really do wonder what Hasbro had in mind when they came up with the concept, and what the reception was from the public.
Thank you racer ! So nice to see you stopped to see my post .
Thank you MikeLv ! Time flies doesn't it . I think I have been here forever lol
Thank you newfld I always enjoy your wonderful posts !
keramikos, I am not sure but assume the public didn't get having a doll look like a dog . So she was discontinued and was probably not selling well . She is part of the history of the 60's and unique , Actually quite cute in her own way . Thank you for stopping and no of coarse I am not offended :-)
Manikin, Thank you for your graciousness. :-)
I looked around some more, and Peteena does seem quite collectable.

I would have wanted Peteena so much if I had seen her when I was young. Heck, I want her now. I always loved the fashion dolls and loved making clothes for them. If they were a bit unusual, I liked them more!! She is great.
I agree Dawn she would have been a fun to dress fashionista back in the 60s !

Hey Mani, how are things doing? Hope you are doing fine. I am still dealing with my new home's renovation and I miss being around my collectibles. Have a nice Holiday season!
Hey Mani, thank you for stopping by at my post and droping a message! I hope you are doing super well. I miss having time to hang out here at CW more often but unfortunately my house renovation is taling forever. All my stuff is packed in boxes and I am living in a rented apartment for now. I still go after my beloved antiques from time to time because now I don`t have where to put them! I hope that this mess will end sometime around May...
