[edit] Classic toys
A number of classic Lady Lovely Locks toys were created by Mattel and are displayed in collections of 80s cartoon memorabilia. Lady Lovely Locks dolls were produced from 1987 to 1989. The dolls were 8.5 inches tall, with certain dolls displaying long, colorful locks and each came with three to four Pixietails- small plastic animals with long silky tails. Pixietails could be worn in the hair of either Lady Lovely Locks or the child. There were also pets, toy sets, and even the Lovely Locks castle had pixietails. Just like Rainbow Brite the collection was colorful with elaborate artwork displayed on the boxes.

[edit] Trivia
In the 8th season episode, "Killer Queen" of the series "That 70s show" the character Randy says:"Donna, Hyde's already given me a nickname. It's Mrs. Lady-Lovely-Locks." This is an anachronism as the Lady Lovely Locks line of products were not produced until after the mid-80s.
