Dolls That Are Similar to My Buddy Doll

My Buddy, released by Hasbro in 1985, was a large plush doll marketed to boys. The doll was 21 inches tall, wore overalls and sneakers and had lifelike hair. As the name suggests, it was meant to serve as a companion for little boys and could be toted along wherever his owner went.

My Buddy dolls were later sold to Playskool and then officially discontinued by the mid-1990s. Today, however, you can find many similar large dolls geared toward boys.
