I had a Neat Teen Walking Doll as a child. She was manufactured by the Eugene Doll company. I got her in like 1986 or 1987. I still have it with its box. She is about 32 inches tall, and resembles a pre-teen, complete with a horrible looking 1980's turqouise sweater skirt,white tights, and black Mary Jane shoes. She did not walk by her self, I discovered that she has a mechanism built into her legs that makes them "step" forward when one leg was placed on the floor, and the body was tilted. I think that these play-pal type dolls were realy popular during the 50's and 60's(my mother had one) and slowly went out of production in the late 90's. She is a gorgeous African American doll, with sleep eyes,flawless face-paint, and a head full of black curls. She has weird amber colored eyes. She is still in great condition, after surviving the wrath of my cousins(the doll killers). I'm pretty sure she will be an awesome collector's piece in a few more years.

I had a walking wendy doll and my best friend had a walking cindy! i have a pic, ill post it soon

The generic ones can still be found.

I had a walking Wendy doll as well and my friend had the cindy doll. I loved them. I remember Wendy's leg came off one day it realized it was a rubber band that made the dolls legs move. Pretty interesting to figure out when you are about 7 yrs old..lol

Jodi that's how I discovered how my Neat Teen Doll walked!! My evil cousin decided to break her leg one day, and the only thing that kept the leg in place were the tights!! My cousin recently came by my house and she was shocked that I still had my doll and she confessed that the reason she broke the leg off was because my doll had a skirt on with long, curly hair, and the one she got had ugly yellow pants on and a short, nappy Afro!! She said she put hers in our grandmother's storage shed because she didn't get a pretty one!! I told her to go and find it because it might be worth some money these days!!

so thats what they were called like a 3 yr old is gonna notice and remember lol. i do rember trying to make mine walk but i couldn't cuz she was taller then me so tiped her and half drug her around eventually i was tall enough to make her walk but by then she was boreing. it was the 1 with brown hair i dont rember eye color or outfit

I had a Wispy Walker doll forever. I loved that thing. My parents got it for like ten dollars. I am trying to find one for my two year old and people are selling them for around $60.00. Someone mentioned the generic ones. Where can you get those? What are they called?

You can get the generic versions of these dolls at dollar stores and dollar general for ten dollars or less every christmas season. They look nearly the same, but are made of thinner plastic, and the hair is not rooted as well. The height, facial features, and walking function is the same.

I had a walking doll when I was about 5. She had black curly hair and a blue dress with a ton of blue lace on it. I remember I called her Melinda, but I don't know if that was her real name or if that's just what I called her.
