Strawberry Shortcake Variations

Dancin' Strawberry Shortcake Doll	Dancin' Strawberry Shortcake came dressed in a tutu with pink and white tights. She came with her own ballet mirror and bar and has a special stand. You can identify this unique doll by her bendable, posable legs. (She is the only one made like this so if you find one dressed in other clothes but her legs are rubbery and posable, you have a dancin' doll.) (Did not come with a pet)

There were 9 different sets in all.

When Toy Headquarters, Inc. bought the rights to produce a new line of Strawberry Shortcake dolls, they created these packaged dolls which featured a two sided play stage. The doll came with an additional outfit, displayed on a paper manikin, that coordinated with the themed package. The dolls themselves can be differentiated from the originals by their larger eyes and variation in hair style from the original dolls, as well as their markings on the backs of their necks.
