The Rosebud babies were a set of small toddlers with chubby legs and arms.
There were three different head molds for the kids but the research made by
Michael J. Augustyniak's and mine differs. They might have been made with
different faces but the ones I list here are the ones I found with the
sculpt I just named I, II and III. He has put them differently to each head
mold (and the pictures in his book Thirty Years of Mattel Fashion Dolls of
the dolls I may, or may not have, are too small to see). The II/Gold and
III/Scarlet was only used with the Rosebud babies as far as I can tell so
far.
The second sculpt was to my knowledge used for at least three dolls. There
is one Rosebud doll I haven't seen yet, so I can't verify which head mold
she was made with. The stamps differs slightly - they were hand made into
the original sculpt and even if they do appear the same, upon first glance,
there are subtle changes.
