This doll is a “Miss Revlon” by Ideal, marked “Ideal Doll VT-20.” I bought her from a collector. She is all-original, including her nylons and shoes, and has rooted blond hair and blue eyes that sleep.

Miss Revlon dolls were first made in 1956 as a licensed product by Ideal. They were named after the popular Revlon cosmetics, and the dolls were every bit the glamour girl. They had a womanly figure and shoes modeled for stylish high heels. The dolls were issued in sizes ranging from 18 inches to 23 inches tall and in dozens of stylish dresses and outfits. The dolls are valued by condition as well as rarity of the outfit. There was also a “Little Miss Revlon,” measuring about 10 ½ inches high. These dolls were so popular they spawned hundreds of imitations by smaller American companies. Your doll appears to be in very clean condition with full eyelashes and hair, so her value is on the higher side. |
