Description

Original Oopsie Daisy doll was big, about 24" in length, and was launched in 1988. This doll was in BIG demand for the Xmas of '88, and quickly sold out. Parents were fighting over what stock was available, just like the phenomenon of the "Cabbage Patch" doll in 1984.

Unfortunately, the design of this doll was it's downfall. In Jan '89, Irwin Toy recalled the doll due to design problems. Heads were falling off, hair was coming out, legs were detaching from the body-the list goes on.

In 1989, Irwin relaunched the doll in a smaller version, about 17", but the fad was long over by the time Christmas rolled around for 1989.

I have an adorable Oopsie Baby that works perfectly. she is about 18" but her trademark is 1988 so I don't know if she is the earlier or later version. I do know she is the cutest thing when she crawls and slips and cries for mama's help. But, like any baby, when mama doesn't come, she rights herself and goes on her way.

when I was a little girl I got an oopsie daisy doll the year they came out and my brother absolutely hated the thing cuz I played with it so much.. anyhow he used to sing this song to me (again to the tune of pop goes the weasel) Oopsie daisy's not ready to crawl she's such a stupid baby, she falls down the stairs and nobody cares... oops I killed the baby...!! Yup, that was one of my fonder memories of the sibling rivalry between my brother and I lol...

I still have this doll! I am 22 and I remember getting it for Christmas when I was 3 or 4 I think. All I know is that I heard the story later on of how my Pepaw waited in line at Toys R Us for HOURS and HOURS, and nearly got killed trying to get one and then almost lost it when some lady tried to steal it from him! hahah I guess I was loved!

"Oopsie Daisy's learning to crawl, she's such a pretty baby Oopsie Daisy's nice as can be-- Wahhh! Oopsie Daisy!" (Narrator) When Oopsie Daisy crawls, she falls and gets right back up again! "Wahh! Oopsie Daisy!"
