The bunny doll as it was called were several in number but all sculpted with very similar features and were basically familial looking and none of the bunny line had the large eyes, or larger, more colorful mouth of this doll. This doll does not look like any of the Geddes' bunny line to me. The Geddes' teddy doll sculpt had a somewhat different look to its features as did some of her other creatures but the bunny dolls all were of the small-eyed, un-emphasized mouth look of that doll in my post and they all favored each other. Just to put a fine point on it, just because it is advertised as an Ann Geddes on an online doll store doesn't make it one. There were several manufacturers who made knock-offs. It would have to have a label to more likely identify it and even then if it didn't closely resemble the original line closely enough in sculpt or quality, you could question it. Some labels misspell names a bit, etc. to try to better copy. As a doll collector who had the doll and often examined the others of the line as different ones were produced at the time, I would not identify it as an original Geddes but one of the knock-offs.
