Gosh people in the comments are being so harsh. I would have loved a toy like this as a kid. I loved dogs and I loved dress up dolls. This would have blown my mind as a kid. It’s a shame they gave up on it.
The idea of Peteena came after the randomic suggestions of one of the heads of Hasbro's 6 y.o daughter, who had a pink room covered in posters of horses and fancy poodles, her main passions. Guess that the horse Peteena didn't make it... also, it's hard to spot one in bikini! Btw truly avantgarde
Hasbro! Reboot Peteena, you cowards! If anything, Monster High, Enchantimals, Pinkie Cooper, and even your own Equestria Girls have proven that there IS a market for anthro dolls.
@@Eepop_stuffs Pinkie and her friends are clearly anthropomorphic dogs with human characteristics, and Furries are fans of anthro characters. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@MrWolfSnack The word "furry" didn't exist in 1964 when this toy was introduced. It was just considered another cute doll for girls at the time, only it was a poodle it was modeled after instead of a human like Barbie. Hasbro was (and still is) a rival of Mattel's, and they were looking for a gimmicky toy to rival the popular Barbie doll. This was many years before Hasbro would strike gold with the "My Little Pony/Friendship Is Magic" pony toys. The word "furry" itself wouldn't be in use until the late 2000's.
There is nothing like a product that is 100% confident it is the first thing to do anything _remotely_ like this, and sees little reason to move past that as the focus of the advertising.
I just found one at a flea market today! She needs new hair and clothes and some touch ups here and there but i SOBBED! They even let me have her for free!
You better start playing the lottery because you have absolutely no idea how lucky you are. They sell for over $600 in mint condition with clothing and/or box, and ones in beat-up rough shape with no clothes or one piece of clothes sell for over $100 on a regular basis.
baffled at all the people who think this is creepy. she’s an it girl. she’s serving. only doll ive ever been interested in owning. if all the ebay listings i could find weren’t $200+ i’d have one on her way to me as i type this comment. peteena gang rise up
I never got into the doll but I made a song parody of it. "The mongrels are the fighters, growl! Woof!" Now I'd make up a song about pitbulls. And that's not how you pronounce "patina", by the way.
Daddy?, why are peteenas never wrapped? Why honey... if they plastic wrapped peteena you'd know what it's made of...... EAST GERMAN CHEMICAL REACTIONS!!! DADDY DADDY WHY DID YOU JUST SCARE ME SO MUCH? HERE COME THE PLANES! BYE BYE DADDY.
