Mego - Cher and Sonny Dolls 1976-1981

Celebrity dolls from the television show "The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour" 1971-74.  They first came to our attention as singers with 1960's hits like "I Got You Babe" and The Beat Goes On"  later they went on to entertain us in their TV show with more songs, skits and comedic teasing of one another and all those glorious fashions that Cher wore designed by Bob Mackie.

We thought they'd go on together forever.  But they didn't, when they divorced the show stopped and they each took their separate paths.  But the dolls remain, Cher with her Mackie wardrobe and Sonny in his tuxedos.

Sonny went on to become a Mayor of Palm Springs, CA & U.S. Representative and sadly left us for good in a skiing accident in January 1998.  Cher's beat still goes on, she is still performing and touring today and WOW - doesn't she look fabulous!

There were about 30 separate outfits available for the Cher doll and 6 for Sonny, along with special play sets like a dressing room, and oh yeah, the rare red roadster car :)
