πŸŽ€ The Doll That Knows What Month You Were Born

There was a moment in the 1980s when the collectible doll became something more than a toy. It became a gesture. A way of saying: I know what month you came into the world, and I found the thing made specifically for that month, and I put it in your hands as proof that your birthday mattered. The Russ Berrie Months to Remember series was built entirely around that idea. Twelve dolls, twelve months, twelve ways to say: this one is yours. πŸŽ€

This is the August doll. She stands on her white display stand in the pink Victorian dress and lace apron she was made with. The hang tag β€” "Months to Remember | Porcelain Collectible Dolls | August" β€” is still pinned to her dress with the original safety pin. She has long golden hair in braids, a pink bonnet, brown boots, and the careful painted face that Russ Berrie put on every piece in this line. She is, forty-something years after she was made, exactly what she was designed to be: a keepsake.


🏭 Russ Berrie & Company β€” The Oakland, NJ Gift Empire

Russell Berrie started his company in 1963 out of his car. He was a salesman who believed that the right stuffed animal or the right small gift could communicate something that words sometimes couldn't, and he built a company around that conviction. By the time Russ Berrie and Company went public in 1984, it was one of the most recognizable names in the American gift trade. 🧸

The Months to Remember series was one of the company's signature collectible lines. Each doll in the series was made to represent one of the twelve months, dressed in the fashion of a different era, constructed with a porcelain face, hands, and feet on a soft fabric body. Style 1592 β€” the number on the box of this doll β€” is the earlier, more elaborate version of the August doll. The pink Victorian dress with its white lace apron overlay, the ruffled collar, the bonnet, the boots. The construction details are more intricate than the later simplified versions. πŸŽ€


🌸 August β€” The Birth Month

August is the month of peridot and gladiolus. The birthstone is a warm pale green β€” one of the few gemstones formed not in the earth's crust but in the mantle below, carried up by volcanic activity from miles beneath the surface. Ancient Egyptians called it the "gem of the sun." The birth flower is the gladiolus, named from the Latin for sword β€” gladius β€” meaning strength of character, faithfulness, integrity. August also contains both Leo and Virgo: the confidence of summer and the precision of early autumn in equal measure. 🌸


🏑 The 1980s Collectible Moment

The 1980s were the golden decade of the American collectible. The Bradford Exchange. The Franklin Mint. Norman Rockwell figurines. Russ Berrie's Months to Remember dolls were part of this broader cultural moment β€” sold in gift shops and department stores, displayed in glass-front cases and on piano tops beside family photographs. They became the kind of thing that moved from one generation to the next not because anyone planned it but because they were too particular to discard. This is the August one β€” someone's August, and August meant something specific to somebody. πŸŽ€

It's funny but cheap
My cat does enjoy chasing the little fluff balls around and then batting them for a few seconds than looking back at me for more. It's good for some good laughs and entertainment but the fluff balls and little plastic shooter are honestly dollar tree level quality. The shooter has one flimsy spring and looking at the placement inside it seems like something that'll fall apart pretty fast. Not worth $11 or $8, this should be >$5 easily.

Dangerous
Size: 30 Pcs
My 1 year old cat loved to chase the balls, but who ever designed these balls should be ashamed of their selves. They balls are to small and easy for the cat to chew on and swallow!!! My cat just got done with an extremely costly surgery because he swallowed 3 of the balls he must of hid them somewhere because he usually did not play with them unattended. Never mind the pain my poor sweet baby just went through. I would never purchase something where somebody has not tested the size and shape of something to make sure that it is safe for an animal, sad to assume that somebody would create such a toy without checking that out and putting a animal through this nightmare. This is the first time in my that I have ever done a review, but I would never want somebody to go through what my cat and I have just experienced. Had to him to the emergency room on a Sunday to a follow up appointment at the vet on a Monday and then another follow up appointment on a Tuesday to redo the ultrasound to on Wednesday another appointment to check them and then him having to go in for an emergency surgery on Thursday. The problem is, he didn’t eat them all at one time so they obviously were sitting in his tummy until he started getting sick and throwing up. I will be checking into this company a bit deeper as well, so please be aware and don’t ever purchase something like this.

All 3 cats say 5 stars!
Size: 100 Pcs
The cats love to chase these balls. And it comes with 100! Which is the perfect amount. So far the gun is still working well. I just find you need to barely put the pom pom in after cocking the gun. If you push the pom pom all the way in, it wont shoot. More often than not though, I just throw the balls for the cats. The gun shoots them very far, the cats enjoy chasing them, but they prefer to jump up and try to catch them, which they cant do when I use the gun

My cats LOVE it!!!!
Size: 50 Pcs
My cats (3) are 7,5, and 3. They don't play with ANYTHING. They would cats mice for 5-6 minutes and quit. Teaser wands? Puh-leeze! They act so above it all, it's been hard to play with them. By some miracle, I came across this toy and thought its not so expensive if they don't like it I won't go thru the trouble of returning it. But they love it. They each have a favorite corner where they jump all over themselves trying to catch it. They play for 15-20 minutes at a time which is AMAZING! My only regret is I bough the one with 30 pieces instead of 100! I am definitely a huge fan and will be buying another on as soon as this review is finished. You can manipulate how and where you shoot the poms, the cats can't get hurt because the trigger doesn't have that much pressure but you can shoot across the room no problem. I wish I had found this a year ago. It is a definite 5 stars, two thumbs up (or three paws up) in my house!
