Uneeda Bob Doll

So, I am being further drawn into 

the world of small fashion dolls.

This is Bob made by the 

Uneeda Doll Company.

This is the photo from his eBay ad.

I was attracted to him because he

had his whole suit! Sadly no shoes.

You may know the Uneeda brand from 

their Dollikin Doll line.

They also made these troll dolls from the 70s.

They are still in business but

mostly make baby dolls now.

Uneeda doll brand made the 10"

Suzette and her boyfriend Bob. 

My Bob will be renamed Jonathan.

I know, I named a doll on my own!

Here is Jonathan right out of the box.

Jon's hair is very faded.  

He looks like he's losing his hair.

He has some stains on his torso.

Hopefully the magic eraser will take these off.

Here are his slacks and jacket.

They are in great shape.

His shirt was pretty rumpled and there

was an area at the shoulder that was fraying.

And there was an underarm stain.

I know, curious.

Jon and his clothes were all washed.

Then I freshened up Jon's hair

and face. I darkened his eyebrows

and made them a little more masculine.

Jon's hair was repainted.

He looks much better.

Jon  just needed a tie and shoes.

The tie was easy.  The yellow tie is made from 

1/2 inch bias tape.  The tip is just trimmed

and finished with fray-check.

The black tie was less successful made 

from satin ribbon.

I have ordered these shoes for Jon.

They have been shipped but not arrived yet,

but I couldn't wait to show you how 

Jon looks now!

HERE HE IS!!

Looking good handsome!

And a side view.

Before and After

Julia and Jonathan.

Julia, Jonathan and Amanda.

Welcome to the Savage Pea Jonathan!

PS - I made the girls dresses too!
