Sillisculpts
As far as I know, these dolls were made in the late 60s, and became one of the most popular gift in the 70s, and faded it out in the early 80s. These dolls had message to it and given to a special person, parents, friends and foes. R & W Berrie (Russ & Wallace Berrie) , later known as Russ Berry Co. are most commonly known for these dolls, often called as Sillisculpts. Most probably, they were the first to introduce these dolls to the public. Later on, other brands and makers made dolls aka Sillisculpts.

I collected these dolls for myself and for resale. I sold most of the unusual ones and the rare ones. Since I didn't take the pictures these are the only ones I have in stock right know. Some are for sale and some are not. If you want to purchase them, please e-mail me for the availability.		 Sillisculpts (メッセージ　ドール)
私が知る限りでは６０年代後半に作られて、70年代には人気のあるギフト商品となりました。80年代後半には製造が中止されています。ドールにはメッセージが書かれていて恋人、親戚、友達などにプレゼントされていました。R & W Berrie (Russ & Wallace Berrie) , 後になってRuss Berry Co.になりますが、このメーカーがSillisculptsを発売。たぶん始めて作ったのがこのメーカーだったのでしょう。後から他の会社やブランドがメッセージ　ドールを発売するようになりました。日本では、いつからか、メッセージが書かれているため、メッセージ　ドールと呼ばれる事が多くなりました。

メッセージドールを個人的に集めたり、お店で売ったりもしました。珍しいドールはほとんど売ってしました。写真を撮り忘れたのが残念です。写真にあるのが私のすべてのコレクションです。中にはお譲り出来る物もあるので欲しい方はメールしてください。在庫を確認します。

Seems like Sillisculpts made by Russ Berrie Co. era had this sticker on the bottom of the doll. However the sticker can easily be removed so most of the dolls had lost the sticker. One with the original sticker on the bottom can be really rare.
Russ Berrie Co. 時代に作られたメッセージ　ドールにはメーカーのシールがドールの底についていたようだ。このシールは簡単に剥がれてしまうので今ではシールが無い物が多い。オリジナルのシールが残っているメッセージ　ドールがあれば非常にレアだと言えるだろう。
