This is EXACTLY what I came here for. I could not for the life of me remember what they were called. The memories are flooding back

im only 14 but having sisters that grew up in the 90s i remember some of these toys like these just being around my house. One time my friends mom when i was like 7 asked if she cud hav them cuz she cud remember them from when she was younger and my sister was like 14 to 15 so i thought she wouldnt care.Long story short, i was wrong. She was crushed and i didnt hav the heart to ask for them back, but months later in casual conversation i heard that my friend's mom had lost them and i was sooo pissed that i hurt my sister for all that. i wud give anything to find the exact same ones even ten years later now, i wud so buy them for her.

sorry "80s"

WOW, I definitely had the one in the pink sweatshirt. I used to pretend she was Barbie's daughter! she always looked so awkward when I would set up Barbie family "photo shoots" because she was so floppy!

I have 6 of these I dug out of my old toy chest. Are they worth anything? Where can I still buy more? Anyone know?

wow i forgot all about these! I had a ton of them

where do you find them?????????????/

I wish they still made these, so I could buy them for my niece. I had lots of them and they were my favorite toy. The only dolls out now are not very wholesome.

I had these too! To anyone who's desperate to buy these, someone's selling a bunch on Ebay right now...but for SUPER high prices ($50-$70 for individual dolls, playsets for $170+). They've all never been opened...which I guess is a bonus. But still, 50 bucks?? http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&dfsp=34&catref=C6&from=R40&satitle=play+ground+kids&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=92604&sabfmts=1&saobfmts=insif&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=34&fsoo=1

I happened to come across a few for those interested, no ridiculous Ebay prices here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110294105024

Oh my... I was looking on this site for these very dolls and gave up before 'p'! I had one when I was very little, called her Kirsty, took her everywhere, told her everything, she was my favourite toy/person and then I lost her. I've been wanting to find her for about 10-12 years. Ohhh, it's so lovely. I'm such a big girl. I don't care. It's so lovely :)

I have the best childhood memories based on the playground kids. I had 8 of them and would constantly be taking them on some sort of adventures. I remember looking through a little catalogue every night, picking and choosing which one i wanted next. My parents searched everywhere to try and find them and we were so upset when we found out they were discontinued! Great memories!

My playground kid (preschool kid) Abby was my absolute best friend for several years. She was loved well, a real velveteen rabbit. I set her within reach of my mother's vicious dog one day and Abby's cute little face was maimed. I have been desperately searching for a new preschool kid since, but can only find the playground kids. I would pay the outrageous amounts mentioned to have Abby's little face back. I still have my doll, whose face is covered to ease the pain, and get her out once in a while, for comfort's sake.

If anyone wants to see pictures, there's a MySpace with them. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=185416758 It's not been accessed for a while but there's pictures. It's not as good as buying but... I think we should start a petition to bring them back. What d'you think?

Like lots of others out there, i had searched my parents house high and low and am still at a loss as to what happened to my 2 that i had, I believe i had traci and krissy. I would give anything to have them again!! I saw the super expensive ones for sale on ebay that are still in original packages etc, but i dont want one like that i just want the dolls, just one....is that too much to ask??? Does anyone know have a doll they want to sell for a reasonable price? I would love to have one of them again and have looked on the internet to find them but only found the collector ones still in box. If anyone has a doll [playground kids, not preschool kids or coca cola kids or farm kids] please let me know. stephaniewithrow@gmail.com

Hi, I've been on a search for these dolls ever since my sister and I lost our collection in a fire. My mom called the company to try to replace them but by then they were dicontinued, we had just about all of them! These dolls are our most favorite memory from our childhood, we took them everywhere & played with them for hours on end. Our hearts were absolutely broken when they got destroyed, I don't think we ever really played dolls again after that. If anyone has any information or can help us track some down we would really appreciate it. Here is my email...fallinlove82603@yahoo.com...no matter how old this post is please contact me, my email won't change.

Like you we loved these dolls when we were younger. We are now in the middle of sorting out our loft as the kids are now off to University so over the next few weeks I will be putting our playground kids on ebay (UK) if anyone is interested our seller name is EGAVASLAUP and we are not asking the extortionate prices as listed above.

Oh my goodness! I have been searching for these forever! I couldn't remember what they're called, but the kids I work with love them. I brought my old ones, and all the little girls wanted one.

I LOVED these dolls!! After Christmas, when the lights and decorations were taken off the tree, we used to throw them into the Christmas tree and see where and How they'd land!! The were like monkeys with their agile bodies : ) I still have about 5 of them hanging from my shelf, all clinging to one another's hands

hi there, i was wondering .. do you know were i can get the little doll called Kelly????

I had Traci and I lost her when I was little and I miss her! Does anyone know where I can get her? my email is seasul5@yahoo.com Thanks :)

I had almost all of the Playground Kids including two of Toddler ones and I had one of the Playground sets that I got for Christmas. I remember writing a letter to the Ertl Company to try to get them to bring back the PGK's....obviously that didn't work. I wish I didn't lose 'em.

Hello Everyone. It is so hard to find anything about Playground kids. I am selling all of mine on Ebay. I hope maybe they can go to a happy home, if one of you are interested in them. My ebay name is kissmered

Ricky was my favorite doll, absolute favorite. My sister had all the others but i had Kelly, Jill and Ricky and i took them everywhere with me as a kid. Ricky sits in my closet so every time i go in there i can see him. a little cheesy maybe for a 22 year old guy but that one doll defines my childhood.
