Maternal instinct in a woman is laid down from birth. And it is not at all surprising that girls love to play with dolls so much: dress them, feed them, put them to bed, etc. Every year more and more new models of dolls appear on the children's toy market that can speak, sing and even dance. But, despite such competition, the popularity of dolls, which appeared almost 50 years ago, does not fall at all. This is a Famosa doll from a well-known Spanish toy manufacturer. About what series of dolls are produced under this brand, we will tell in our article.

Famosa brand story

In 1957, several artisans and doll manufacturers in Spain merged into a single enterprise - the Famosa toy factory. The reason for this event was the release of the world's first plastic doll. To remain competitive, small entrepreneurs needed investments and a complete restart of the technological process. The name of the brand was not chosen by chance and denoted the strategy of the newly created enterprise, because the word famosa in Spanish means "famous".

Firstthe doll released by the new venture was Guendolina, which critics called "a unique creation in the neoclassical style." The doll's height was 74 cm, and it was made of high-impact polystyrene. In 1968, the Famosa Nancy doll is released, thanks to which children's story games become more realistic. After another 9 years, the world's first Nenuco doll appears, which exactly resembles a real baby. But the main thing about this doll is that she can pee in the crib. This has become a real success for the Famosa brand.

Despite its worldwide fame, the company continues to expand its product range. In 1983, a series of miniature Pinypon dolls was released. In 2003, Famosa buys a license to produce Disney Heroes cartoon characters. In subsequent years, many doll lines were updated and today they are successfully sold in more than 60 countries around the world.

Types of Famosa dolls

Since its inception, Famosa has been studying the market and children's passions in the field of toys and play accessories. This detailed analysis resulted in a wide range of products and more than a dozen brands of toys, some of which are also represented on the Russian market.

Today, the most popular doll brands are the following three:

1. Nenuco Famosa doll - a baby doll that imitates a baby, as well as a wide variety of accessories for it (carriages, cribs, etc.).
2. Pinypon - a series of miniature dolls for storygames. They live in their own world, make friends, play in nature, change outfits, etc.
3. Nancy is a cute 43cm tall Famosa doll with long silky hair and blue eyes. Unlike most other dolls on the market, she can stand on a flat surface.

All dolls are characterized by the high quality of material and workmanship, because the manufacturing company with a worldwide reputation pays special attention to this moment.

Nenuco Famosa dolls

The first doll from this series appeared back in 1977. The material that was used in its manufacture made it possible to model the face in such a way that the toy baby looked like a real baby. Such a realistic doll quickly attracted the attention of children and parents. Over time, the manufacturer has endowed the baby doll with additional functions. This is how the Nenuko Famosa doll was born, able to go to the potty, eat, gurgle, drink from a bottle, drool when you press the handle, sunbathe in the sun, etc.

Nenuko's assortment of babies is impressive in variety. In addition to traditional dolls made of plastic (polyester), the manufacturer also produces baby dolls with a soft-filled body that smells sweetly of vanilla. These dolls are designed for children over 1 year old. The height of most baby dolls from this series is 42 cm, although there are also babies with a height of 35 cm.

Pinypon Famosa Dolls

A series of mini dolls for play and collectibles was first released in 1983, but even today, little girls, boys and their petsare very popular. Miniature dolls are only 7 cm tall and are made of high quality plastic. Outwardly, they are very cute and cute: they have bright outfits and big expressive eyes.

The feature of the dolls is that they can be taken apart, that is, the head, torso, hair, arms, legs can be easily detached from one toy and added to another. In this way, kids can change hairstyles, clothes and even facial expressions. To do this, the head of the Pinipon Famosa doll is simply turned upside down. The babies are sold individually or in sets of four. For exciting story games, small pet dolls can be purchased with just 3.5 cm in size.

Nancy Famosa doll - Spain's favorite

The first Nancy doll from the Spanish manufacturer Famosa was released in 1968. The doll was created by Spanish sculptor Tino Juan. The first doll was not at all like the modern Nancy. She had a small face with small closing eyes (they do not close in modern Nancy), miniature hands and feminine forms. The doll's chest was small, the waist was narrow, and the hips were voluminous, like a real woman's. The toy became so popular that after 10 years it could be found in every Spanish family.

In 2006, the world saw the already updated Nancy. In addition to height (43 cm), there was little in it that resembled the old toy. She began to look more like a teenage girl: more slender, with big eyes, long fluffy eyelashes and gorgeous hair. Today, the doll is available in two types: regular and articulated with moving arms and legs. Nancy's lineup is diverse.
