My Buddy Large 18-Inch Doll - Unboxed for International Shipping

“My Buddy, My Buddy, Wherever I go, he goes. My Buddy, My Buddy, I’ll teach him everything that I know.”

Step back into the magic of Saturday morning commercials and rediscover the beloved companion that captured hearts in the 1980s. This authentic recreation of the classic My Buddy doll brings back all the nostalgia and charm of the original, now available in a special unboxed format designed specifically for our international collectors and friends around the world.

NEW: UNBOXED OPTION AVAILABLE FOR INTERNATIONAL COLLECTORS!

Why choose the unboxed option? We understand that international shipping costs can be a significant factor when adding to your collection or finding that perfect nostalgic gift. The original retail packaging, while beautiful for display, adds considerable weight and bulk that dramatically increases international shipping costs.

For International Buyers and Budget-Conscious Collectors:

• Original packaging weight: 2.5 lbs

• Unboxed shipping weight: Under 2 lbs

• Shipping cost savings: Approximately $8 per order ($22 vs $30 for international shipping)

• Product quality: Identical to boxed version - same authentic doll, same accessories, same quality

Our Careful Repackaging Process:
• Doll is carefully removed from original retail packaging
• All accessories and components are individually wrapped for protection
• Items are securely packed in a compact, lightweight shipping box
• Weight reduced from 2.5 lbs to under 2 lbs for optimal shipping rates

For Collectors Who Prefer Original Packaging: The standard boxed version remains available on our main product listing. However, many collectors appreciate the cost savings of the unboxed option, especially when the doll will be displayed outside its original packaging anyway.

The My Buddy Legacy

Originally launched in 1985, My Buddy broke new ground by encouraging boys to engage in nurturing play. The memorable commercial jingle became a cultural touchstone, and the doll quickly became a beloved companion for children everywhere.
