Anastasia has written that the clown was sold by American Greetings. The label indicated it was a Baby SOFTTOUCH, 1982 AMTOY, INC., just in case somebody else needs the info.


, FOUND – 80’s CLOWN with HALF RED – HALF BLUE & Painted FACEI was given this stuffed clown when I was very young. I named him Clownie, and he never left my side. I slept with clownie every night up until the night I lost him (in 7th grade!!).

He looks similar to this photo, except that he is half red, half blue, with a hat, yellow hair, and a painted face. He also had a string on top of the hat that I suppose was for hanging him as a decoration. But as a kid I would use that as my security sensor, as I constantly ran it between my fingers.

The face was soft/fabric, and the features were flat/painted on (just like the sample photo). I would say it was about a foot long with a terry-cloth-like material that the body was made out of. I am not sure what the filling was – it was definitely stuffed/plush, not beans, not hard…but on the firmer side. The limbs were different colors – like the photo, one red arm, one blue arm, one red leg, one blue leg, on opposing sides. the hat was red and blue and it had yellow ‘hair’ framing the face (almost like a lions mane) that was also fabric, not yarn.

I do not know where it came from, as it was a gift.

Clownie was given to me by my grandfather, who passed away in ’94. Clownie used to spend much of his time with his best friend (my older sister’s childhood toy, Ted Ted…who is now One-eyed Ted because he lost an eye). In 7th grade my family went on a family vacation to Disney World. Clownie got left in the bed, and was taken away by the cleaning lady.

I still remember that day (I am now 23) like it was yesterday, and have my journal entry from that day, and the days following. I would give anything to get a replacement clownie.

Thanks,

Bree

    Bree,
    I have on hand a 1982 clown that is extremely close to your descriptions. Yellow fabric mane, string on top of hat, exactly 12 inches tall, red/ blue body, painted face and all. He has chime? inside him (this makes his body firm) that make very pretty sound when moved from side to side. Email me at recis77 at yahoo dot com for pictures.

  3. Thank you Anon for your condolences…and thank you Anastasia for hopefully finding my Clownie. I have tears with just hopes that it is him!

    Thank you!

  5. I have that exact clown!! he has a small stain by his eye but not too noticeable. I am 25 and have had him since before i was born!

  6. I am looking for the clown doll in the pic. Know where I can find one? jordan05599 at hotmail dot com.1220084

  7. I am 26yrs old and was given that same clown when i was just born. I still that that ezact clown but i am also looking for another 1 bc it is completely falling apart and can not give it up. I know exactly how you feel. Like i said im 26 and will be 27 this month. My mom has been searching on the internet for years now trying to find that. Im trying to see if I could just get it re-made. I just want another one so I can pass it on to my own children one day bc it meant so much to me.

  9. I am looking for the same clown in the picture.
    Half red and half blue. My youngest daughter received it as a baby present from her godmother 27 years ago. It is completly falling apart but she still loves that clown. It was her security when she was little.
    I would love to find another so when she has her first child, I could give my grandson or grandaughter the same childhood toy their mother had.
    Hope someone could help me
