Donny Osmond Doll

Speaking of toys, my sister had a Donny Osmond doll, which came out in 1976 as a tie in with his tv show, Donny and Marie (1976-79).  There was also his sister Marie, which you could use to do a duet of their theme song, "A Little Bit Country/A Little Bit Rock and Roll," and little brother Jimmy, which wasn't good for much of anything (I don't like Jimmy. He makes homophobic remarks).



I was a teenager, and thought myself too old for dolls, but the Donny figure was nice to look at -- bulging in all the right places.  So one day I checked, and sure enough, the manufacturers had realized that a certain percentage of kids would be interested in undressing the doll, so they eliminated the G.I. Joe problem -- he was almost all naturalistic.  There was even a little bump to ensure that he filled out his pants properly.

  1. I asked my mom for both the Donny and Marie dolls, to hide my fantasy interest in Donny. I remember rubbing the Donny doll's penis bump over the purple pants, which felt like he had hard erection. The shirt was flamboyant, so I kept him shirtless. Marie was never undressed for obvious reasons. M

    1. The naked Donny does have a bump to emulate a bulge, which is rather rare. But in the 1970s every guy bulged, so I guess the toymakers wanted to be realistic.
