Mysterious Manuel from Woolworth's circa 1973



Here are two photos of my childhood Manuel doll, bought at a Woolworths store in the 1970s. Manuel is roughly the size of Mattel Steve Sunshine of the Sunshine Family. Like Stephanie Sunshine, Manuel's wife had blonde rooted hair and there was a baby, too. Alas, only Manuel remains. He is one of my first Hispanic dolls.

Does anyone recognize him?

He is from the Woolworth Wee three dolls :-)

Applause! Thanks, Unknown! You've identified him correctly. I found a boxed image of Manuel - wearing the white polka dotted blue shirt he originally wore - along with his wife and child.
