Blueberry Muffin Mix Scans - 1981 Strawberry Shortcake

You all know that I collect Strawberry Shortcake and have been obsessed with her since 1979.

When I started collecting again in the 90s and started to join collector communities, I found photos of

this elusive item and remember going to the store and begging my mom to buy it.  She refused

because she knew I didn't like blueberries and probably wouldn't eat them!

I've been looking for YEARS, but of course, people usually didn't keep this box.

A few years ago I got an amazing lot of SSC items from a sweet collector named Emily. Turns out we grew up a couple of blocks apart.  We would have been besties if we knew each other!

This box was in the lot, along with several other items I've been looking for for the last 30 years or so!

(I made a video of that haul! It's below the photos.)

It seems like everyone had this toy in the 80s.  

All of my friends brothers had this folded up somewhere in their room or outside in the 

yard.  My memories of it look more like what it looks like folded up, than actually in

use!

 

Can you tell the difference between the Vintage Strawberry Shortcake dolls and the new Retro Dolls?

I made a You Tube Short to show the difference, so you don't get confused.
