Summary

Plush pink 'Baby Doll', featured in the company's early mini booklet catalogue.

Jakas Soft Toys was a Melbourne-based company which designed and manufactured genuine high quality soft toys from 1956. Their range mainly included teddy bears, golliwogs, animals and birds. The 'Baby Doll' was an early design which also came in blue.
They ceased production in December 1998, outlasting many local toy manufacturers competing with cheaper overseas imports.

With children's health and safety in mind, the toys were made from wool and synthetic plush, quality fabrics, non-allergic filling and 'safety eyes'. The Jakas range of soft toys came with care and washing instructions and could be handed down for generations.
