Flintstones Family Dolls...

Bamm Bamm and Pebbles babies 1964.

       Dolls made to look like cartoon characters from the Hanna Barbara Flintstones cartoon were very popular for nearly a decade. Some of these doll were made to look realistic others were more cartoon-like and made of fabrics.
       Pebbles, Fred Flinstones baby and Bamm Bamm, Barney Rubbles baby were the most popular. Bamm Bamm was so called because he loved to carry a large stone club and hit everything with it while crying "Bamm Bamm!"
       Included in the character doll costumes were plastic bones for their hair and clothing to wrap around and their clothing also depicted animal print designs. Remind you of any dolls today that are sold in the market place?

More About The Flintstones is an American animated sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The series takes place in a romanticized Stone Age setting and follows the activities of the title family, the Flintstones, and their next-door neighbors, the Rubbles (who are also their best friends) who live in stone houses (not caves) next door to each other. It was originally broadcast on ABC from September 30, 1960, to April 1, 1966, and was the first animated series to hold a prime-time slot on television.

The continuing popularity of The Flintstones rests heavily on its juxtaposition of modern everyday concerns in the Stone Age setting. The Flintstones was the most financially successful and longest-running network animated television series for three decades, until The Simpsons, which debuted in late 1989, outlasted it. In 2013, TV Guide ranked The Flintstones the second-greatest TV cartoon of all time (after The Simpsons).
