Trailer Trash Dolls

Arsenic and Apple Pie unleashed their first three creations on the world in 1999. In 2004 the company attracted a lot of media attention for their upcoming release 'Trash Talkin' Turleen' which lead to the re-release of earlier doll Trailer Trash, and another talking addition in Jer Wayne Junior.
Here's the 'About' blurb from their website in 2005:
Arsenic & Apple Pie has enjoyed an established track-record of excellent support and service from our loyal customers and accounts since 1998. Our story begins in December 1996, doctored dolls made by a famous doll toy maker began to show up in the store windows of retailer Injeanious, based in San Francisco, California. It was here that the first Trailer Trash Doll was introduced and formulated. The dolls were an instant hit and in time the store offices were flooded by phone calls from all over the world. To make a long story short, a major toy maker caught wind of this due to media coverage on a national and local level and took legal action to stop the production of the dolls.
In 1999 Arsenic & Apple Pie was formed and we began the process of designing our own dolls, having them manufactured for us to our specifications. The First Edition Trailer Trash Doll was introduced to rave reviews worldwide along with the ever popular blonde and red head Drag Queen Dolls. This was followed in August, 1999 with the development of our website and on-line catalogue, www.trailertrashdoll.com. In May 2003, our Second Edition Trailer Trash Doll was introduced with a positive response.
Fast forward to 2004 as Arsenic and Apple Pie rolls out our exciting new website and catalogue featuring new games, pictures, accessories, and T-shirts. In November 2004, our new talking, pregnant Trailer Trash Doll, Trash Talkin' Turleen finally arrived with an overwhelming response! Check her out now on the Doll pages and send a postcard to your friends! In 2005 we expect things to be as exciting as ever as we introduce new novelty items and new dolls! This includes two new talking bottle openers featuring the voices of Turleen and her son Bubba Jr. This summer we will welcome our long anticipated new talking, male, mullet Trailer Trash Doll Bubba Jr. in his first edition! We welcome you back home to the place on the "web" for all that is "trashy" and fun!

Lisa Frank Fab Friends Dolls

Before there was Smiggle there was Lisa Frank, churning out colourful dolphins, panda and unicorn emblazoned stationery and other goods for tween girls across the world. Back in 2000 Lisa Frank teamed up with Play Along to release a doll line called Fab Friends. Initially consisting of three girls called Lisa, Cassie and Mara, the latter was later dropped in favour of new friend Vega.
The dolls stood 11 inches tall, had rooted hair, and came packaged with pets and skate shoes. Then skate shoes and a shoe box. There were also smaller dolls (c. 10 inches) available packaged with a bag, extra shoes, and plastic cell phone.
