Aw man! My grandmother bought me this doll for my birthday or some occasion, that exact one, her name was Alexis Rigadoon and she came with overalls. I used to try to have impromptu puppet shows with her, but at night when she was sitting on a chair in my room, I would get paranoid and throw her in the closet because she was so big. LOL

My sister got Mikey Rigadoon for her birthday when she was 5, she is now 30 and STILL has mikey. All of our kids play with him...they were the greatest!

do you know of any site thats list the rigadoon dolls names. i have 2 and would like to know what their names are? thankyou

My children loved their Rigadoon Puppets. They started with 2 puppets and in the end had 5. They also had a minature Joe Rigadoon. My son had Joe and Miami Mike and my daughter had one with orange hair, she called her "Patty" but I dont know whether that was the name that she came with. She also had one with yellow hair. We still have Patty, Joe, miniature Joe and Miami Mike.

I was given mike priscilla alexis joe and 2 others but boy did i love them. I wish i could find them again. Does anybody know who made them?

There was also, Rusty, she had rusty red coloured hair. The little pamphlet that came with them said that Rusty had a crush on Joe. I had joe, he was supposed to be the leader of the pack and the biggest trouble maker. The Rigadoon gang also greeted each other with nose wriggles, where they would press their noses together and wriggle the noses. Our family had four kids and we each had one. Joe, Rusty, Mike, Scoreboard (he was the sporty one). We played them all as siblings. Later on my sisters also got Priscilla and Alexis. I'm not sure how many there were all up. They were fantastic toys, very special.

I have had a brown haired rigadoon doll since i was 10 and am now 30 i absolutly love.when i got her she came with the name "Tanya" she has brown hair and a tartan school dress on i now have 6 different rigadoon dolls now for my daughter... and am looking for their names dose anyone know where they were made or who buy...... someone needs to make a site with this info on it that would be great........

My cousin had rusty. I got priscilla. Then nanna and poopy went op shopping and garage sale hopping for more and ended up with another two rusty, scoreboard, alexis (which I took)cassie, joe, denise, and another. We would go op shopping for baby clothes for them in size 1-2 that would fit them perfect. I stained priscilla''s chest as she had a "pretend" cold and I rubbed vicks on her! Ooops! She got over her "pretend cold". I still have 3 rigadoons and nanna has many too. I love them. My mums friend took priscilla in a drunk 40th birthday 10 yrs ago and madeher bite mums ear and it turned bright red! Mum let out a shriek as a rigadoon can really bite (depending on who has their hand up the back of their head!)

I had the girl Rigadoon with Yellow hair, yellow shirt and a grey skirt, you have a picture of one in the gallery missing the yellow top, She came with the name "Allison," I bought her with my own pocket money I had saved when I was about 8-9 years old, I still have her and I am 28, unfortunately though, I don't have her original outfit.

Caroline, I submitted the photo of "Allison" and your right she did have a yellow shirt but I have since lost it. I got her from my nana when I was about 7 for christmas.

we had rigadoon dolls when we were kids i had brown haired "denise" my sister had blonde haired "priscilla" an d my brother had red haired "joe"

I remember when I got Rusty for Christmas as child! I was so excited when I first saw her I nearly wet my pants! 20 years later I still have her!!

I have Alexis and the certificate that goes with her and another that has short yellow hair. the cert does not tell were they are made. my sister had a red head that was shorter and not an orginal. my two are 22yrs so any that are about 20yrs are not the orginal my mum still has more fun with them then i do.

I remember receiving a rigadoon doll when I was about 3 or 4 around 1989/90. I'll never forget the memories I had with that doll, mine was the yellow haired girl-forget her name though! I don't know what happened to mine, I hope I can manage to find myself one for my children

My Nan bought me Joe after i saw the same doll on neighbours sitting in a chair in Des & Daphne's house all thoses years ago. Havn't seen any before and after that would love to know were to buy others?

does anybody know if the rigadoon puppets ever came to South Africa as i used to have them in the U.S.A and I'd love to get them again. If anybody has any answers please email me at wizkid7776@yahoo.com

I am looking at buying one and was interested to hear from anyone who knew where I could purchase one from, I look forward to hearing from you jyou6625@bigpond.net.au

I had Joe, got him for my 10th birthday and he was an absolute joy! I had so much fun with him and he would sleep in my bed until I reached 13 and then I had him sit on the shelf and occassionally would tease my dad and friends with him lol. Dad specially cos I was getting back at him for the years he would wake me up with Joe in my face hahahaha bad Daddy!!

Hi, I would really like to purchase a Rigadoon Joe for my son as his has worn out. Does anyone have one they are willing to sell? Thanks

I have Miami mike, i got him when i was 8 and am now 31. I passed him on to my cousin who passed him on to my nephew and he is now back in my house, my 3 year old son loves him. I have just purchased two more on ebay. It would be great if any one knew how to find out all their names.

Hi check out gangofjoe.blogspot.com/ for more info on rigadoon. Some names of the original gang are on it. And by the way the original gang did not come with ant real rigadoon tatoos on them, the next lot that wre released had the tatoo. So if it looks like a rigadoon, im sure its a real one, tatoo or not.

hi everyone at the moment i have collected7 real rigadoons and they all have the tatoo on the hand and then i have one that my mother in law picked up at a garage sale for 50 centc that is ecxactly the sam but just dosent have the tattoo so i have read on other sites that thae very first origional rigadoon dolls didnt have this marking ???????? can anyone can help me with this !!!!!!!

I gave my daughter Joe as a gift. She is now 30 years old. My 6 month old granddaughter loves him. He's missing an eye. Does anyone know where I can obtain a set of eyes?

I've been racking my brain trying to remember the name of these dolls...i just knew they strated with R. I'm so glad i found this page, now i can show my husband a picture so he knows what i've been going on about. I can't remember the name of the one i had, but i think had a kind of sports jersey on.

the one with the sports jersy is scoreboard..yes that is his name. i still have him but will sell him for a price

i have 2 rigadoon puppets i bought 1 (daniel)in 1989 and i came across others that i gave away to other kids.i sure do kick my butt for that oh yes the other i have is the girl rusty.i would never part with them there terrific i'm 53 years old i guess you can say young at heart.

Hi all, i am lookin for any Rigadoon doll as i work in childcare and they are awesome props if anyone has one will pay street_lisa@hotmail.com

We bought my son one when he was very small. He is now 20. He took him everywhere. When we would put him in the buggy people would think he was really. I think his name is Mikey. We still have him and would like to find more for when we have grandchildren

Oh wow! I have a Rigadoon. I got her for my 7th or 8th Birthday. My mom always promised me that she would get me another if she ever saw it. Every time I wished on a shooting star as a kid, I wished for another Rigadoon. I want another one so bad, and I am 27 now.

does anybody remember a movie based on these toys

Hi there all. I don't think mine are the 'original' type that you talk of, I got my sports jersey guy for my 4th birthday. I named him Steve because he had the number 1 on his shirt so I named him after the player who wore number 1 in my fave team. I think my siblings ended up getting jealous so they got some for xmas or something.. My sister had the orange haired girl and named her Cassie My brother had the one with curly red hair and named him Megzy after my uncle who has red hair and his nickname is Megzy.. Still have all 3 of these dolls at home (i'm 22 now) but the red one doesn't have any hair left and I think his original clothes are missing.. how much would they sell for??

Hi, I just purchased a girls rigadoon doll with dark hair but I don't know her original name? I would also like to purchse another one for my other daughter does any one know where I can get a girl rigadoon? not many come up on ebay..

wow I love these guys, I couldn't remember what they were called. Thanks for helping me reminiscence

I have two rigadoon puppets daniel and rusty brother and sister i am 53 now and i hope to enjoy many more years playing with them there awsome."SORRY NOT FOR SALE"

There were four boys in the original Rigadoon Gang: Joe (red-headed leader of the gang with red striped shirt, blue jeans & freckles), Miami-Mike (black loopy hair + colourful Miami shirt & Bermuda shorts - white I think!), Dan (brown curly loopy hair + red mouth, with or without red cap sewn on head), Score-board (sandy / dark yellow loopy hair + #1 on his blue 'JOCK' shirt); and three girls: Rusty (long red-brown hair in pigtails or ponytail + denim overalls & yellow shirt - she has a crush on Joe, don't you know!), Alexis (mid-length sandy hair + pink overalls & blue patterned shirt), Priscilla (short pale blonde hair + white – floral patterned party dress). There is also a third version (1994 Fizgig trademark) where the "Real Rigadoon" mark covers most of the hand. They added : Alison (long yellow hair with bright pink & black cap sewn on head or bright pink headband) Denise (short loopy black hair with navy velvet dress, white lace collar & cuffs + bright blue headband) Patti (long orange hair with corduroy skirt & rainbow coloured shirt + rainbow braces) Tanya (long black hair with white shirt/tartan skirt of pinafore - like a school girl/glasses?) I hope this helps All you RIGADOON fanatics. Don't worry...I'm one of them. P.S. I think that these are right but I'm happy to stand corrected.

I bought one for my daughter when she was 5 and i'm sure her name was Denise, she had black short hair in Pig tales and a white shirt with a blue plaid skirt, like a school girl. my daughter is now 22 and still loves her!

oztion-com-au, seller 23b40, there are 3 rigadolls in good condition.

I always wanted a Rigadoon puppet doll but never had one! One year I asked for one for christmas but only got one of the smaller dolls that is not a puppet. From reading comments above I think she is 'Tanya'. I have been loooking around trying to find one for ages. Anyway, I just bought one off ebay - Rusty - in excellent condition! She was cheap too. I think I now want to buy more and start my own collection. I wish their was more info about them out there! Wonder if they will ever bring them back.... there seems to be a lot of eighties toys being remade these days.

Hi everyone, I love my rigadoons, when I was little my sister had 'Rusty' which is the girl with the long brown hair and I was so jealous so I got one myself, now I have 6 of them (hehe) They are my favourite toys. I have 2 originals (Joe and Rusty) and later versions of Priscilla and Alexis and others whose name I have no idea of. For more info. on names and original clothes I found this website: http://gangofjoe.blogspot.com/ it's quite good! bye fellow rigadoon lovers ~ jess xoxoxox

Oh wow! Its so nice to see lots of people still have their Rigadoons!! I have Patti. I received as a gift for xmas when i was about 10, I am now 30 and am still grateful for getting her! I did however lose her clothes. She is having a new set made for her but would love to know where I could get hold of some originals...

My son who is 21 now, crawled into the big box that Rigadoon was presented in, in either Target or Kmart when he was 3 in Perth WA.He said I really want him, and it looked like Rigadoon was his best friend. So we got Rigadoon and he was my son's best friend night and day when he needed a life size buddy when people couldn't fill the spot.I found Rigadoon today when I was cleaning out the shed. I am so happy that I wrapped him up so carefully. He was cuddly, clean and dressed in one of my twins baby outfit. I haven't seen him in maybe 6 years. I put him on my hip like a little toddler and snuggled him up.He is so special to me too, from the memories and also just the most special little guy. Never has another guy been made like him.

A couple of weeks ago I went to a flea market and lo and behold there were two Rigadoon dolls sitting on a blanket side by side.A boy with orange hair and a red mouth and a girl with long brown pigtails and freckles. My hubby said he has never seen me move as fast as I did that day. I was speechless when I asked the price and the stall holder said 50cents each. I dont know of any other toy with so much character.

Hello Everyone I have been looking everywhere for the whole gang of seven rigadoon dolls and I was hoping that maybe some of you you had them or knew where I could find them? My fiancee had one when he was a kid and I am trying to surprise him with the whole gang for his bday. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for all your help! Sandra

I loved the Rigadoon Crew. My mom purchased two for my baby brother back in the 80's (Joe). I had the best childhood ever. Are they still available, and if so where can I purchase? Thanks for sharing.

I have the red haired rigmarole, no freakels. . .and I've always called her kAtie so I assume that's her name. She's about 24 years old now

That message should have said, I have the red headed rigadoon doll with no freakels. She has a small inprint on her hand which says the real rigadoon. I got her when I was about 6 And I'm now almost 30! I've always known her as Katie, but I through that was what I named her and not what her name really was.

Lookung to purchase the full rigadoon gang, if anyone is selling please email me at rodney-05@hotmail.com

will buy any unwanted rigadoon gang members top dollar paid i have 2 now,

I am selling my rigadoon. I think her name is Allison. She has long blonde hair and has a yellow top and denim skirt. Please email if you're interested. Saunderscasey@hotmail.com

I still have my rigadoon puppets. I have Rusty (girl) and Scoreboard (boy). I used to love using them with my friends to hold puppet shows

I had a Priscilla rigadoon. I was convinced she was haunted and used to make my mum lock her in the boot of the car at night. I hated going in my room if she was there and would never turn my back on her. My mum ended up giving her away to a friend of mine. Kind of wish I'd kept her to find out if she really was haunted or not.

I purchased a Joe and Rusty Large Rigadoon pupppet from the creator/designer at the One of a Kind Craft show in the early 80's. After that Elaine entered into a contract with a toy manufacturer who then mass produced them. These 2 have been handcrafted with love by Elaine, the creator/designer, personally. They are like new and I love them, however, it is time to share them with someone else. If you are interested in seeing them, I will be listing them on e-bay a.s.a.p.

Hi Candice what dolls do u have for sale email me on kimirulz15@hotmail.com cheers

My daughter Leah who will years old in May this year, still has her Rigadoon Joe still in good condition. The funny thing about it is she named him Joe after her granddad Joe who passed away in 1988, she received Joe as a Chrissie present in 1988. It wasn't until about 3 years we discovered that his name was really Joe when we bought him. Her nieces & nephews love him 😇😇

I thought there was 5 to the gang I have 5 still at my mums in perfect condition She kept them for my kids I have rusty-girl, joe-boy,scoreboard-boy ,Priscilla-girl,and Denise -girl It still have the paper work and all and a story about them, it does not mention anyone else in the story!! So glad I kept them all with all there clothes they came with

I've had the Joe Rigadoon from when I was 7 (got him in 1990) he's an early one with no marking on his hand, but he is now very very worse for wear (ie unrecognisable really he's been so loved) so just bought a near perfect Rigadoon Joe from Ebay (just a small scan on his shirt) in the US and imported him to me in the UK. Cost me an arm and a leg but getting him I felt like I was 7 again. I'd forgotten how nice Joe was when new!

I still use mine in the classroom. But would love to purchase another original

I have an original in its box of Joe i am going to sell if anyone interested?

I had Rusty given to me as a child by my Grandad and my brother had Scoreboard. I still have Rusty and have since started collecting but unfortunately Scoreboard has gone missing. I have started a Pinterest board of the different dolls I can find pictures of online, what I can't find is a picture or information on what Patty (orange long haired girl) original cloths were. If anyone knows or has a pic can you let me know please?

One of my sons was given Scoreboard for his first birthday in 1988 by my mum. I still have him, and the first generation Miami Mike our daughter fell in love with at a swap meet when she was about 10. Both of them are in their original outfits still. Since then I have accumulated first generation Rusty, Joe, Priscilla and Alexis, but she isn't in her original clothes. There is also a second generation Miami Mike who has his original pants but a replacement shirt. I also have Dan's clothes, but they are on a third generation Rusty. My second generation Rusty is wearing an outfit that belonged to our granddaughter and third generation Scoreboard has recently been dressed up in an outfit I made our granddaughter. Just recently our Granddaughter bought a new outfit for Alison so she was all dressed up to meet her new friend, who I think is named Denise (she should have glasses but they have been lost) We also need to spruce up a Patty who should join us next week I hope. I think that is 13!!! No wonder my husband rolls his eyes. Our little grandsons drag them around, and the two year old has just started to talk to them while the eleven month old just wants Alexis: he pulls her around the floor and lies on her. It's very cute. I think I enjoy their company more than anyone else though.

I have Dan in his original clothes but he doesn't have "the real Rigadoon " embroidered on his hand but he has the exact shirt of the ones I've seen pictured. Why do some not have the real Rigadoon on them?

Hello, I am selling my original gang, a complete set of 7 members if there is anyone interested in becoming there new guardian, I can be contacted below, Cheers Wendy g.wendy@bigppond.com

I still have score board rigadoon ! From 1989 I got him for my birthday ! I live in Northern Ireland

i buy these puppets to do puppet shows in church sundayschool and nursing home volunteer.i spread joy and happiness to kids and elderly.i dont have them as a collection item.i use them.

I have Pricilla and Dan, funnily enough I'd never heard of The Rigadoon Gang until today whilst looking on ebay. Mine are the originals without boxes and their outfits are different but they are defiantly from this collection. I bought these two years ago in a charity shop for 30 quid so looks like I got a real bargain.

Can anyone tell me how much ones worth please I have one for sale only just realised what it was. It's Miami Mike no pants but one of the first ones with out the stitching but has the other details that make it real thank you to anyone who canhelp

I used to have Joe - my son ended up using him as a Wrestling partner and he fell apart. I would love to get another one if anyone has one for sale. Please email sarahw1@xtra.co.nz

Loved having Miami Mike when I was younger. My cousins and he has him back for hes kids. Bought Joe today of Ebay. But would want Miami Mike as well if I find him.
