- Do you ever wonder how dolls are made? Marvel at how they were constructed at the Rosebud Mattel factory in 1968 from the molding of the heads to the horrific process of popping in the dolls' eyes.

Rosebud Mattel toy factory, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.
Note: on file is correspondence from the PR officer for Rosebud Mattel; Pathe evidently bought some of the dolls from this story and donated them to the Variety Club's toy fund. Cuts exist - see separate record.
Information provided by Alwyn York, who worked at Rosebud Dolls from 1958 until their closedown in 1982.
Rosebud Dolls always showed at the British Toy Fair and Mr. York believes this video was a preview for the Toy Show and confirmed that it was filmed at the Westfield Road Factory, Wellingborough. Rosebud Dolls became Mattel Ltd. and then Burbank Toys Ltd. (part of the DCM group).
M/S of J.R. Ashby, the Finance Director of Rosebud Dolls, sits writing at a desk. Suddenly, about eight walking dollies (toys, not birds) in pink dresses come waddling along on the floor. John Dennis, the Factory Manager, enters, picks up a doll and discusses it with the man at the desk.
Various shots show the making of the dolls in the factory: the heads are sculpted in plasticine; the plastic heads (moulded from the plasticine) have blonde hair sewn onto them and lips and eyebrows spray-painted on through a mask. The designer sculpting a doll's head is Peter Nevett. Nice M/S of eye-less heads travelling along a conveyor belt; the eyes are then inserted into the eye-holes, and a young girl combs the hair into a fashionable (rather bouffant) style. Another girl, Sharon Liggins, fits a little '60s dress onto a black doll.
We see a finished doll that cries when you pull its arm (not very nice, is it?). Three talking dolls have their strings pulled and 'speak'; Bugs Bunny and Dr. Doolittle introduce themselves; Chatty Cathy seems a little confused - in an overdubbed voice she says "My name is Rosebud" - I expect mentioning her real name would have been advertising. The three toys all speak again, then Bugs says "I'm sleepy".

This type of doll is the one I have been wanting since childhood, so cute
I love the doll @2:26. I’ve never seen one like her before.
That's a Cheerful Tearful. I had one when I was little
I have that doll the cute blonde one, her name is Tina my auntie gave that to me on my 4th birthday. She is the real owner and my Lola(grandma) sew dresses kept that doll and put in the living room.
Which one? What minute?
@@theboysdolls at 1:43
Same but mine had a longer blonde hair. My lola also made dresses for it but sadly my cousins broke my dolls and it had to be thrown. 😢
What's that doll called?
Is she Talking Tina?
I've ALWAYS Loved Dolls!!! One of these days I'm going to do some toy making myself! :-) Thank you for posting!
Very interesting process! I absolutely love these types of dolls! It’s a shame they’re not like this anymore.
The hair part looks so satisfying to me.
Fun fact the lady putting the hair in is my mum
Even though dolls are a bit creepy to me this is extremely fascinating to say the least.
Same bro I wouldn't get sleep even looking at these
"How do you do? I'm Doctor Dolittle."
So cool 🎩
I want one!!! 💖💖💖
Yeah like you're too old to play with dolls
@@mcdonaldtag I don't want to play with them, I collect and repair dolls
@@a.m.1118 good to know
@@mcdonaldtag don’t be rude, no one is too old to play with dolls 😌
So cute!
Nice thank you for making this video I’m am no longer convinced that dolls are haunted
"the technologists haven't managed to stick in a brain".
wait...... what?!
They've never seen a Furby or spoken to Alexa.
omg this is pure art
Creepy. But the girls ( and many little boys) who played with such dolls are great grandparents.
We are grandparents, not great yet. This video is from 1968.
huh. so that’s how they root doll hair the first time around.
I want one now
Daddy, I want an Oompa-loompa NOW!

My father worked at Margon Doll Co., in New Jersey - they made the dolls eyes that open and close. When I was in high school in the late 60s, I had a summer job @ Eastern Doll Co., back when SOHO was still a manufacturing center for Manhattan. My job was packing the doll heads into boxes. A bit creepy with the eyes opening & closing =:0. It was a filthy sweat shop - well over 100 degrees on the 3rd floor in the summer. I was making $1.07 / hr. FYI, there's a scene in Woody Allen's movie Manhattan where they walk by the Eastern Doll building...
do you know the name of the first doll ?
"My name is rose butt!" Oooooooook lady! 😂😂😂 2:43
*Rosebud
Love how that guy is sculpting clay while wearing a tie
I bet some of these toys are worth a mint in good condition
Plot twist: the dolls at the beginning were possessed
IT 'S HUMANS YOU SHOULD BE FRIGHTENED NOT DOLLS.
@@user-uk7pp8ic7u unless the dolls got possessed with demon or something else and that’s a true story happened to my cousin 🥲💔
너무 귀여워요 ❤ 아주 예전 화면인데도 인형의 퀄리티가 너무 놀라울정도로 예쁘고 좋아보여요. 금발 소녀 인형은 정말이지 하나 꼭 갖고 싶네요
"My name is Rosebud!"
A very good likeness of Rex Harrison on the Dr. Dolittle doll.
BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️❤️
So interesting how they sew in the hair.
I have that Doctor Doolittle doll from Mattel in the original open front box (never been removed), with Polynesia the parrot on his arm. Polynesia is made of green pipe cleaner, but is missing some feathers. I don’t dare pull the string in the back of Rex for fear I might break it. ❤
Back in the old days when we made things !
Beautiful 😍. 😍
Reminds me of Jon Pertwee's first story.
no way I could work there thats too weird.
Has a real 5 Nights at Freddie's appeal, huh? 🤡
I find it a Bit gruesome when they pop the dolls eyes in, it’s like stabbing plastic eyeballs into somebody’s eyes pretty gruesome
The bugs bunny plush I have one of them
Strange to think most of the people in this video are likely gone, but some of the dolls live on.....
2:42 bad dub job, we hear the string pull before the person can pull it...
This doll is absolutely cute
On the present time now a days which shop are selling this doll

oh so thats how they make dolls
can i PLEASE get the name of the firs t dolls
Girl no these dolls need an exorcist!!🙏👹
hi
Wow they made dolls for all races then, I thought they didn’t.
Yes, that's because there's an agenda to wipe out the memory of racial equality in the 60's. No, it wasn't perfect, but there were great strides made. I use to collect little dolls with traditional dress from all over the world that was in thy mid 70's.

I have a black doll from the 60's, my mother bought it from outside the country. It's a great doll, we call it Susanna. Too bad my niece pulled some of her hair out. But it's still in good condition.
its cute ngl
Very entertaining. MMJ approved🤨
I want dolls in wholesale
I want one I will give you 2000 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 please
They don't make cute dollies like these anymore. Dolls now have them big ol' eyes (like the crybaby dolls) and don't look cute imo
All made in Covidland now ........ ?
How a real doe eyed porclean skinned doll is made: breastmilk for the first 2 years of its life, organic food, fresh clean air and voila your son looks like Paul Dano and your daughter looks like Eliza Scanlen!!!
Fembots, toddler style 😂
