I know I've said this before, but...

...there ain't no mama like the one I got!  She got me a Tiny Tears doll!

Truth be told, Tiny Tears is as much for Mama as she is for me.  Mama owned a doll similar to Tiny when she was a child (possibly Kathy Cry Baby, as her doll's name was "Kathy"), so she has a fondness for this doll.  Plus, she and I have both been a mite unhappy lately; we both are in a fair amount of pain, I from my hip/fibroids/what-have-you, she from her sciatica, and we're both sick to death of it.  So Tiny has been something of a morale booster for the both of us.  Anyway, the early examples of Tiny Tears had plastic heads), while later versions have vinyl heads.  My doll has a hard plastic head, and it's both hard as a rock and pale as a ghost.  Her body is soft and pink.

Tiny Tears came in several different hair colors, with my particular doll having strawberry blonde hair.  That pleases me greatly, though I'd have taken whatever came.

Tiny is very pale in the face, and she has the same unusual hairline that Tam's doll does, despite having a hard head.

Very unusual.  I'd love to have seen this doll's manufacturing process.  

Unfortunately, dolls and other items are sometimes shipped in packing peanuts, and that was the case with Tiny Tears. 

As I've said before, the Doctor has the Daleks, and I have packing peanuts.  I hate these darned things!  Packing peanuts aside, Tiny Tears was not expected, but she's welcome and already very loved.  I hope Mama knows how I love her.

Cheers,
