What I don't know about Palitoy's Pippa doll would fill the United Terminal at O'Hare Airport. Only a handful of these sweet, delightful little dolls have come into my possession, and they are shown below. There are so many wonderfully in-depth websites dedicated to Pippa already, that rather than re-hash it here (and possibly get it wrong), I will provide links below to a few of my favorite sites where you can see and learn more about Dawn's "British cousin".
For more information about the world of Pippa, you can also look in Joedi Johnson's book, "Pippa & Her World" (Catpigg Press, (c)2001), or her book "Dawn & Her World", where she also touches on Pippa. Benita Schwartz's book, "Dawn Dolls: Official Encyclopedia & Price Guide" (Hobby House Press, (c)2001) also has information and photos about Pippa, her fashions and accessories. |

Pippa's body style is very similar to Topper Dawn. She is made of plastic and vinyl, with rooted hair and eyelashes, and painted facial features.
Her body has a slanted twist-n-turn waist, and she is jointed at the neck, shoulders, waist, hips and knees.
Pippa's knees have external pin-joints which click into a 90-degree bended position, and her hips can also click into a sitting posture. |
