Tippy Tumbles was a battery-operated doll that used to do somersaults and flips. She was so cool for her day (in the 70's). Tippy Tumbles came with a little suitcase which held her batteries and she had short hair. I still have two of them. The adverts were great too.

I can remember Tippy Tumbles from when I was in infant school in the early 70's. She used to carry a 'suitcase' type bag which I think contained the batteries (not sure), the bag remained on the floor while she did a pivot sort of thing.

I got a Tippy Tumbles for Christmas when I was about 9. I was desparate for one and was thrilled when I got her. Mine had red hair, navy stretch pants and a stripey jumper. The only problem was it took four big batteries and I didn't ever get them replaced as often as I used them. My younger sister was scared of this moving doll and I used to chase her around the living room floor with Tippy. I eventually gave Tippy away, blue suit case and all, in perfect condition. I have such fond memories of that lovely doll.

I was given a Tippy Tumbles as a gift to distract me when my sister was born - I was certainly more impressed with the doll than the baby!! My Tippy was dressed in red - it would have been in 1971. Also had a Penny Puppy Walker - so great!!! Was her dress green? I can remember the jingles from TV - "Penny Puppy Walker; if you take Penny Puppy Walker for a walk,she walks her dog, just like you"

I still have my Tippy Tumbles doll with the stripped top and blue pants, but unfortunately I do not have her wee blue suitcase that carried her batteries. She is still in great condition and I woud love to be able to get hold of another blue suitcase to make her work again, and pass her on to my daughter - does anyone know where you can get the battery operated suitcase?

I just finished listening to a cassette tape my parents made of me during Christmas season 1969. They asked me what I wanted repeatedly, and my answer every time was "a Tippy Tumbler doll." I did get one, and I loved her. If I remember correctly (which I probably don't because I was five), there was a sort of wired remote control thing you had to press to make her do her tricks. At any rate, Tippy Tumbles was my favorite doll ever next to Chrissy (with the growing hair). How I wish I still had all the dolls I used to own.

I also got a tippy tumbles for Christmas when I was about 3 or 4. She had reddish hair, a striped shirt and blue stretch pants. I have a picture of myself with her on Christmas. In fact I have been trying to find this doll recently but all I have come across is a blonde haired one that doesn't look like the one i had. Mine also had the suitcase not the ball.

I am so glad someone else remembers Tippy Tumbles. I loved my tippy tumbles. I dont remember the suitcase but I remember you had to squeeze a ball to make her somersault it was attached to her back by a plastic tube.
