The Gemellini are the mini babies not the lil babies xxx

[Ianua]

and yes the Paciocchini by GiG/el greco are the foreign lil babies as soon as I have time I'll scan the collectors leaflets for both the mini and lil baby collections I know Ghost already has pages for the magic diaper and oodles

This is the thread with the real and fake mahic nursery babies

The fakies are in the 1st picture and the real ones are on the second page you can clearly see one of the dolls is the same mould

There's an auction for 2 Magic Nursery babies on ebay at the moment the seller even says they're marked Arco, but the 3rd one on the right is a lil baby.

sorry about  the link I can never get pictures to work xxxx

Maybe if we can get enough pics we can work out the babies in this range. The magic nursery ones are the only ones we don't know how many babies there are. Unless someone out there collects them?!?!
I only have the mini babies, lil babies and the oodles.

That would be fun! Start saving pictures!

I think the problem is that everyone has a favorite and makes a site about that particular one. And then all the other ones are fakies/knock-offs. So you never see them explained all in one place!

That can be your new mission!

Here's the one you posted:
From Left to Right: Magic Nursery (Arco/Mattel), Magic Nursery (Arco/Mattel), Lil Baby (Hasbro)

Thanks Zuse I think that's all we have at the mo that pic and the ones posted in other threads, but I think another forum member collects the magic nursery I just can't remember who at the moment.

Here's how Magic Nursery were packaged. The pieces in the transparent were originally enclosed in the decorated *dissolving* bag. Looks like this person cut them open to see what was inside? The second one has twins.

I am not sure which ones I have  They have little felt clothes like the ones in that brochure and only one is numbered.



Are these the Li'l Babies??

The Gemellini are the mini babies not the lil babies xxx
