Canary Yellow Mint in Box

It's not often that you come across a Rainbow Brite doll Mint in Box. I saw this version of Canary Yellow on the Rainbowbrite.tv site (accessed through the Wayback Machine). I think it's fun to see how these dolls came when we were kids, probably because I haven't seen one since 1986 LOL.

New Canary Yellow

How cute is this? When I was a kid, I only had Rainbow Brite stuff and maybe one or two of her friends. My parents now say that the dolls were way too expensive, which is why I ended up with cheaper stuff like Strawberry Shortcake. I like the newer sprites with the plastic design, though I can see how some traditionalists want the originals. I still think it's adorable though.
