NEW DOLLS ON THE BLOCK

October 9, 1990

Look out G.I. Joe. One million ``New Kids on the Block'' fashion dolls, produced by Hasbro Toys, had been sold after just four weeks in the stores. The dolls are part of a Hasbro line of toys and electronics named after the popular rock band.

Hasbro says the New Kids dolls are popular with girls up to age 15. Fashion dolls are typically popular with girls aged 4 to 10.
