There were five very first
issue Strawberry Shortcake dolls that were issued in 1979. There were two
girls, one boy, one baby, and a villain. These first five dolls were
issued with flat hands (except Purple Pie Man) and no pets (except Apple
Dumplin and Purple Pie Man).
The Value of the First
Issue dolls is $40 dollars MIB with Strawberry being the most expensive of
all of them.
All The pictures below
are from my own collection.
The four dolls with flat
hands are:

In 1980 the rest of
the first issue dolls were released. These dolls had curved hands
now, but still had no pets. These nine dolls were:

Blueberry Muffin |

Raspberry Tart |

Huckleberry Pie |
|

Tea Time Turtle and Berry Bird
are the only Strawberry Shortcake Pets that were make out of hard
plastic. All of the other pets including Hopsalot were made out of soft
plastic.
In the next generation of dolls
Tea Time Turtle was made out of soft plastic, but Berry Bird was
continued to be made out of hard plastic.
