Meet Emerald The Enchanting Witch Doll From Girls World And Milton Bradley
Emerald the Enchanting Witch is a very friendly chubby 6 1/2 inch tall doll with lavender skin and mint green hair. She debuted in 1972 from Milton Bradley, and she was made by Girls World in Japan. Milton Bradley decided shortly after to stick with games so she wasn't sold for very long. That makes her quite rare and hard to find now. Her magic trick was that when she was shaken her eyes blinked on and off. The marketing campaign claimed little girls could tell Emerald their secrets in the world of make believe.
Miss Emerald Was Born in 1972
I first learned about Emerald when I was doing some research for my Blythe dolls. Turns out many Blythe collectors have one or two Emerald Witches in their collections as well. They were both born the same year. Emerald Witch dolls are much more affordable right now than Kenner Blythe dolls so it's an easier doll to start collecting.

The Original Emerald The Enchanting Witch Doll
Emerald came wearing a short shiny black dress, a pointed witch hat with a purple flower, and black boots. There were six additional outfits and some accessories you could purchase to add to her witchy lair. Her outfits were sold on a card wrapped in clear plastic with the name printed at the bottom. The other pieces that were available were a magic crystal ball, a magic cauldron, and a vinyl carrying case that looked like a haunted house. Here is a link to an original advertisement for Emerald the Enchanting Witch, which claims there was a witch mobile but I've not seen any information on it, and some say it was never actually released.

If You Buy An Emerald Doll You May Have To Clean Her Up - Here Are A Few Tips:
- Her skin can be cleaned with a magic eraser sponge, but stay away from her makeup as the sponge will rub it off. The make-up areas can be cleaned with mild dish detergent.
- Wash her hair in mild shampoo and then use conditioner. Never ever use hot water or any type of hot styling or drying tool. Her hair will melt.
- Don't immerse her body in water, it will ruin her light mechanism. If you must dip her in water you can remove her head, arms and legs gently and wash them in cool water and mild detergent. The body can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth

Great info here. Could you tell me where the pattern in the pics come from? The doll with their fall frolicks?
I bought the dresses on the Funny Bunny website. She doesn’t have many Emerald Witch outfits for sale but I believe you can request items. Here’s the link http://www.funnybunny.se/shop/#!/~/category/id=1498687&offset=0&sort=addedTimeDesc
Hello,
Would you mind answering a few questions about Emerald?
It is my understanding that you shake this doll & her eyes light up? Is it normal to hear a rattle when you shake her? How long do her eyes blink?
Thank you in advance for your time,
Deb
Hi – Yes her eyes light up once she is moved. I don’t necessarily shake mine because I’m afraid they are fragile. Once I insert the battery they light up automatically and last about 30 seconds. After that I tip her a bit and she lights up again. My Emeralds do rattle a little but I’m not if she is supposed to or if something isn’t quite right inside. Thanks for reading and for your question.
