What were these dolls called?

[C.Ann]

Or did they even have a name? They were the stuffed dolls where you would see Little Red Riding Hood - wearing a dress - and when you flipped it upside down it was then the Big Bad Wolf? I also remember seeing them where it was just a little girl - happy and smiling - but when you flipped her upside down it was a sad, crying face..

Are they still around? I don't know why, but the other day I just started thinking about them and can't remember if they were popular when I was a kid or if it was when my own children were little..

Anyone know? Just curious..

My DD had one of the red riding hood ones, but I don't know what it was called. That was probably about 20 years ago On the big bad wolf side, you could flip it's night cap over and grandma was on the other side of the head (if that makes sense!) I might even have it around here somewhere.... Haven't thought about it in years!

Here's one...

I think that they were called Topsy Turvy dolls (at least in my area).

I had one of those, but I didn't realize it was hand made. Thinking of it brings back nice memories

Thanks so much! How neat!! Didn't know you could still get them anymore.. Now that it's been mentioned, I do remember "Grandma" being on the other side of the Big Bad Wolf side..

Definitely brings back memories..

I had one, too!

I hadn't thought of it in many years. Thanks for the flashback

I just found one of these at a thrift store not too long ago! I bought it for my daughters. It's actually VERY high quality and looked to be in perfect condition. A steal at $3.

I had the Red Riding Hood/Grandma/Wolf doll when I was little. Thanks for bringing back that memory -- totally forgot about that toy.

I had that exact one too! Probably more than 30 years ago!

 

[JLTraveling]

OMG, I had that Red Riding Hood/Wolf/Grandma doll too! Right around 30 years ago...wow, I had forgotten all about it. I used to be so scared of the Wolf side lol

 

[Meriweather]

They have some at Disney......2 kinds. I think they were Cinderella and Belle on one, and Snow White and Evil Queen on the other.

I also got DD one on a recent trip to Saint Maarten......French side one and Dutch on the other.
Very cute.

Me too! I hadn't thought of those in years. I wish you had remembered this a few years ago when my DDs were young. Too old for dolls now

I wish I had remembered when my DGD was still young enough to have one.. I think she really would have enjoyed it.. Drats!!
