Playpal

Patti Playpal, also spelled as Patti Play Pal, was an American line of dolls created by both Neil Estern and Vincent DeFilippo (creator of the "baby face" sculpt Patti) both versions were produced by the Ideal Toy Company during the late 1950s to early 1960s. The dolls head, arms, legs and torso are made from vinyl. The process used for the torso and legs is known as blow molding.^[1]

A main selling point of the dolls was their size. At 35 inches (89 cm) they were made and marketed as "companion dolls" to children, and thus are able to share clothing and play with its owner as if it were a real child.^[2]
