Baby Buddies Dolls

(1994-1995?)

"They're always together, best friends forever - darling Baby Buddies and their sweet little pets! Make friends with these lovable little buddies, who do all the cute things real babies do. Just love them lots and care for them bunches... wherever they go, whatever they do, they'll be full of surprises and smiles for you!"
~ ~ ~
"Tucked away in a secret place, is a tiny nursery full of tiny babies and pets. They're Baby Buddies-special friends who can do all the cute things real babies do! But these lovable little babies need a Mommy to take care of them. Because if left to themselves, the Baby Buddies would just play all day."

Note:
I've included these dolls because they are also by Kenner and include several pieces that seem to be from the same mold as LPS. For example, some of the animals have silver paw-prints and are often confused as LPS. The food dishes and bottles are also the same.

I could not find a fan site for these dolls on-line, so I'm making this mini one although I don't personally collect these dolls or own any. Special thanks to Leah and Angie for all the scans, pictures, and info they have provided for the site. Any further information is welcome, as I know that a lot of information is still missing. Some of it I have and haven't added yet, though, so look out for updates. I'm also trying out to figure out the best way to exhibit the comparison photos I have of LPS and Baby Buddies animals (in addition to some fakie versions). I would also like to just take the time to say that none of the toys shown here are available for sale. Thank you! :)

So far there are 16 known Baby Buddies sets, all shown here. This total includes the one known variant (there are two versions of the Big Girl Baby™) and the mail offer.

Feel free to contact me if you have any more information about these dolls.
