The popularity of the Sid and Marty Krofft-produced “Donny and Marie” television show spawned a plethora of merchandise, most famously the fashion doll line from Mattel. However, the show was so popular, it was “Rack Toy” popular and Gordy International, a prolific 1970s impulse toy maker, issued a special catalog of merchandise to follow suit. While the line mainly focuses on Marie by label slapping her face on some existing items, Donny gets a few items as well, including a magic kit.

I would like blank cheques from Donny and Marie around that time. Oh, the Mego dolls I would own.

    Sorry, Mattel made the Donny and Marie dolls.

    I still have the Mattel Donny and Marie dolls that my sister and I got for Christmas in 1976. I also have a Whitman puzzle of the Osmond siblings
