  I always imagined them as teeny tiny dolls like they could fit into the palm of your hand, but looking at the box picture of the girl with ‘Thumbelina and her cradle’ they’re not so small at all.

    No. They were just a nice size for a little girl, and if I remember correctly, the plastic was softer, not hard. I have fond memories of it.
