My Hi Heidi doll had a button on her belly, and yes, she was blond.
My sister has a daughter Heidi and the doll was popular when Heidi was young. Does anyone know what theprice might be on one of these older Heidi dolls? I guess this is the one my sister is talking about
thank God i am not crazy. I was searching for hi heidi, and thought maybe i imagined the whole thing,so i am so relieved that she really did exist! I recentally saw a magazine, and saw a pic of penny brite, and from my memories, that is how my hi heidi looked.BUT I DISAGREE AS TO THE TIME FRAME, AS I GOT HER FOR MY 5TH OR 6TH BIRTHDAY, AND THAT WAS DEFINATELY IN THE 60'S.
I still have my Hi Heidi doll along with her friend Jan (who was of Asian ancestry). Heidi is blond and is wearing a red dress. Jan wears a traditional Asian dress, and has shorter black hair.
My sister got a Hi, Heidi doll when she was seven or eight, and that was in the sixties--66-67 time frame.
I had one too. Looking back, it was disturbingly "Heil Hitler-esque" But it was definitely in the 60's.
I had one in 1967.
i have heidi, spunky and the little brother~don't remember his name. and they all still go 'HI!' spunky doesn't have her glasses anymore...none have the little shoes on although they pop up in a box from time to time.
My sisters name was Heidi. She got a Hi Heidi doll for xmas probably back in 66-67 or thereabouts. I absolutely drove HER crazy doing the 'PUsh your bellybutton, raise your hand and scream "HI HEIDI"..........long time ago, but great memories.........:>)
I still have my Hi Heidi doll. She came in a cute red purse shaped carrying case. She looks like I had a great time playing with her. I got her for Christmas in 66.
I just had to leave a voicemail message for someone named Heidi, and I purposely said "Hello Heidi" because of the doll. Not sure why, really -- except people get sick of jokes about their names.
So then of course I had to Google "Hi Heidi" to see if anyone else still remembers her. So here I am...
I had one -- I must have been five or six, so the 66-67 timeframe sounds right to me.
I'm amazed that someone still has her Hi Heidi doll. Mine is long gone. So sad.
i had a hi heidi doll. i got it in 1966. i have a very fond memory of shopping with my mom and her buying it for me. i remember going home and dressing the doll on my couch. My beloved mom just passed away and that will always be a fond memory of her. I am lookig for another heidi doll antone have one?
My dad says one of his sisters got a heidi doll(long time ago), and he thought they were pretty lame. They didn't sell too well in new hampshire(that's where he lived at the time). I'm glad to see she was a little bit mor popular in other places!
I've heard of them but I've never seen an actual hi heidi doll before. What do they look like?
I found a pic on Google images, but I think her dress was different. Remember the song, "Hi, Heidi, Hi, Heidi!"? Sooo catchy! I loved my doll--I wound up getting 2 for my birthday in '66 or'67...glad to see all these other sentimental old broads checking in!
I have a Hi, Heidi doll and her red case that I just loved when I was a little girl in the 1960's. Since I'm downsizing, I'm going to have to be selling her soon (maybe on ebay in the next month or so).
I'm also glad to know I wasn't hallucinating! I would tell people, even my sister who also had one, about Heidi and her arm and they would look at me like I'm been drinking...alot! Here is a link. http://www.mikelman.com/gpage6.html
I had a Hi Heidi because my mom thought it inappropriate for me (younger than 10years at the time, so b4 1965) to play with the more popular adult doll and her boyfriend. Too bad all the neighborgirls had the adult dolls; it was very lonely. Where were you when I was growing up? I also had her younger sister Tammy.
I still have my Hi Heidi and her little sister Hildy. Both with that white blone hair. I have still have many of their outfits. I even have their small furniture and jeep. I never could seem to part with any of it. Don't know what I will do with my collection, probably let the granddaughters play with it all.
Cleaning out and found my old Hi Heidi doll with gazillion fashions but can't find a website to help me put the outfits together. She doesn't wave anymore, but really in great condition, considering her age : )
OMG!!! I talked about Hi Heidi for years too and my family has no real clue. It had such an impact on my life back then (I was 6 or 7) and broken hearted when I couldn't find it - I think my mother gave it away not realizing how attached I was to it (we moved out of state). I am so glad to have found this site - I feel like I have found a long lost friend!
I have one & remember the red case. My daughters weren't that interested, so I just gave it to the good will. Wish that I had kept it.
I received my Heidi doll for Christmas about 1965. I took it to school for show and tell and I lost it on the way. I was hysterical. My older sister bought me a new one and said that Santa had seen me crying and brought me a new one. I so wish I still had it!
I had a Hi Heidi doll also around 1966 or 67. I also had a Tammy doll and Penny Brite around that same time. Wish I still had them. One year for Christmas every one of the nieces in the family got the Penny Brite dolls. We each ended up with two!
I'm so glad I found this site. I have a friend who has collected dolls for years and had NEVER heard of "Hi, Heidi" when I mentioned it to her. I was born in 1961 and it's one of the first dolls I remember getting so probably mid to late 60's. My mother kept my younger sister's Drowsy and Mrs. Beasley dolls but not my Heidi, so I'm not sure what happened to it.
You can find Hi Heidi and other Remco Pocketbook Dolls on ebay all of the time and they don't go for very much. I was happy to buy one a few years ago! I loved mine!
I recieved my Heidi doll for Christmas in 1966 with the little red purse.My other doll was a Jane West doll in 1965 with all the gear for camping, hats, skirt ect.and the first talking Barbie which I still have them all and with sons.. no has played with them since then.
