The poor worn out doll :(

A bit random for them to say Raggedy Ann has blue eyes even though she doesn’t

[@eleanorhogan8643]

Maybe she originally had blue eyes, I mean originally she had shoe button eyes. But later versions of her had printed eyes and a printed mouth for safety reasons I suppose.

​@@eleanorhogan8643 I don't think she ever has been represented with blue eyes by Gruelle. Maybe by some more recent illustration artists of the 70's and 80's, but at the time the original album was released (early 30's, the album in the video was a compilation of earlier work) she always had black and white ones.

@@raggedyannrevivaleffort Are you sure? Mind you I have known to be wrong at times.

@@eleanorhogan8643 While I'll admit I'm not 100% positive that there isn't a drawing of her with blue eyes somewhere, I did skim through Raggedy Ann Stories, Raggedy Andy Stories, and Raggedy Ann: a Marcella Story (all released before 1930). And before that point, the only official dolls had been made by Volland, which had black button eyes. The Exposition and Molly E dolls of the 30's had printed black eyes.
