★★★★ · The Story Of Chrissy and Velvet · Spuzz · 2005-05-18

Advertisiment for dolls that, with a touch of a dial, can make their hair grow! Featuring a nearly impossible-to-decipher theme song, this commercial features spastic kids throwing their heads around, and oddly smiling dolls. A tad strange. Reccomended!

★★★ · Hair that grows · Wilford B. Wolf · 2005-03-23

Late 1960s commercial Ideal's creepy looking Velvet and Beautiful Crissy dolls. Ever since the 1950s, gimmick dolls have had a major roll in toy marketing, and this one emphasizes that "her hair can grow." Well, until your little sister takes the scissors to it. Seriously, Velvet's face looks more akin to the Troll dolls that were popular about then.
