I am wondering if anyone has any info about this vintage doll I found. She is 7" tall and has hinged legs, arms, and head. Looks like a chubby Betty Boop baby. Thank you.

This looks like a 60's doll from Japan . A Novelty doll ? They made lots of them in this style but to find exact swimsuit one could be a challenge .
Very Cute little doll. They are often called Googly eye doll because of big eyes side glancing .
thank you very much, I will look. Have a nice day...I'll let you know if I find her.
I'm not sure what material she is made out of, it's like thick glass. Obviously, I know nothing about vintage dolls. But, now that I starting looking into this one, I am intrigued...and can see how it would be a great hobbie. I still haven't found any dolls like this one I have, and know she probably not worth much...But still wish to find out something. Is there another good website to research this that you know of? Thank you so much.
Without a symbol or mark of any sort she could have been made any of thousands of toy companies, sorry
thanks for letting me know so I don't get carried away...looking. I'll let it rest. thx again.
Never give up looking, it's just not an easy fix without clues
