OVERVIEW: Galoob Sashays

I have somehow never written a post for these little ladies. 

I can't remember when I discovered Sashays, but I'm almost certain it was thanks to Ghost of the Doll. 

These were produced by Galoob in 1986. Right around my proper time frame, so I have no idea how I never saw them in stores. Pretty sure young me would have wanted one. 

They're small dolls with painted-on bodysuits, shoes, earrings, and sometimes other jewelry, depending on the series. Each comes with a hat on a barrette and a large skirt that turns into a pillow. They also have a stand and a brush, both of which always seem to be pink. 

They're supposed to be scented, but none of mine have ever had any smell. 

The only info on the four series is on the back of the box. 

We have Sparkle, Shimmer, Garden and Glow.

The boxes on these girls are quite oversized and on the awkward side. It took me ages to figure out how to display the new one I just got. 

We'll start with the Glow series, as that's what Night Flower here is. 

This set has dolls wearing pink, peach, green, blue, and two different purples. 

The skirts are iridescent. 

The only way you know the doll's name is if you see her in box. 

 

I grabbed a lot of these pics from Google/Ghost of the Doll, so if something is yours, let me know and I'll add credit. 

So the only other Glow we have a name for is the orange one: Sunset Orange. 

Then we've got the all-purple skirt. 

And the white one with lighter purple edges. 

(All of these pics came from Ghost of the Doll.)

Moving on to the Garden series, these have prints on their skirts. 

They come in pink, peach, yellow, green, blue and purple. 

This is my second Sashay ever. Her name is White Spice, which I just learned because I now know someone with her boxed. 

Mine is missing her hat and stand. (And brush, but I don't care about that.)

I bought the purple one off etsy and she arrived yesterday. 

Here's the pink Garden girl! She was actually my first one ages ago, but I traded her for a Castle Keeps Gargoyle. Zero regrets on that, but it is good to have her back. 

I've had 3 loose dolls for years and I couldn't resist putting this one in the peach Garden outfit, which I also got off etsy. 

The doll is from the Sparkle line, which I knew, but I've just learned her name is Golden Forest.  

 

Since we had Golden Forest right there, let's show her off in the box. 

This is the Sparkle series, which are metallic. 

They come in pink, purple, silver, gold, copper, and another light one that I can't get a definite color for. It's silvery but also kinda purple? Maybe lavender metallic?

Crimson Flower is the pink one.

Silver Blossom is the silver. Obviously.

I'm proud to say she's mine. She just arrived today. 

Then finally, we have the Shimmer series, which has satiny skirts. 

These come in white, light pink, darker pink, yellow, blue, and purple. 

This is Cloud-9.

I actually have her without any accessories. 

I also have this blue one that's a complete mystery, because she has the outfit style of the Sparkle series, but there's no blue. Maybe that odd-colored light one got turned into a blue one? 

Merry Cherry is the pink one. 

(Pretty sure this also originated on ebay.)

And Tru-Blue Tuberose is the blue.

If you have any Sashays, I'd love to see them, especially if you know any more of their names!
