Tinker Bell Dolls Still Charm Consumers

By Anne Harvestler


J.M Barrie's tale about the magical boy who wouldn't grow up has been a favorite of children for more than 100 years. Stage plays, a Broadway musical, Disney animated movies and live-action films have all kept this story alive for new generations. Even today, young girls are fascinated by Tinker Bell dolls and other fairies, while their mothers relive childhood memories of their favorite Never-Neverland characters.

There have even been spin-offs, such as "Hook," which starred Dustin Hoffman as the evil pirate, as well as a series of books about Peter Pan's companion, Tinker Bell. Children latch on to these stories and create their own Never Never Land tales with figures modeled after the characters in the story; articulated dolls are very handy for allowing these children to expand their imaginations.

These dolls are often released as part of a promotion for a new film of DVD. They come with numerous extra costumes as well as additional accessories that might include tree houses, flower carts and other pieces that will stimulate the child's imagination.

For collectors there are also decorative figurines. They do nothing but look pretty, but there is a wide variety available. Tinker Bell has changed over the decades into the character families recognize today, so if you can find earlier versions these will add depth to a collection and perhaps monetary value as well.

Tink has appeared on lots of merchandise. Bedding products feature the winged character in her green dress. Lamps, curtains, baby clothes and light-switch plates have all received the Neverland treatment. Beach towels and water bottles show her cheery smile. For the girl who must have everything related to her stubborn, blond-haired heroine, there are bags, dresses and sunglasses devoted to her cheeky image.

Cake dolls are another way to enjoy Tinker Bell and her cohorts. These waist-up figurines are made from plastic and are inserted into a cake after baking, just before it is presented. These make excellent party favors to hand out to guests at your girl's next birthday party.

While plastic and porcelain Tinker Bell dolls are lovely to look at, when it comes to a plaything, one made from softer vinyl, rubber and cloth is a better choice. These are completely safe for a child to sleep with. As a child gets older, consider a Tinker Bell wrist watch to encourage time-keeping and management skills.

Finally, there are costume pieces that allow little girls to take on the character themselves. Retailers offer wings, wigs and those funky "leaf" dresses as well as tights, making an ideal choice for Halloween or other costume-theme party. Even adult women, looking for something quirky and amusing find appeal heere, reliving girlhood fantasies. It seems that Tinker Bell still has a strong appear for children of all ages - even those past thirty and under ninety.
