Note that the doll has a very similar appearance to the son of Fred and Wilma Flintstone. What son, you ask? The one found on the cover of this little golden book from 1961.
Inside the book we learn that the boys name was Junior Flintstone. He also was the one who adopted the "dinosaur pup" that lived in the Flintstone's residence, except he named the Dinosaur, no not "Dino" but "Harvey".
As a person who remembers watching the Flintstones episodes when they were first broadcast, I don't remember any reference to the Flintstones having any children B.P. (Before Pebbles).
The Flintstones were originally modelled after the"Honeymooners" so I was surprised to see that there was ever any thought given to Fred and Wilma having a child. I certainly didn't expect to see any Flintstone products referencing "Junior".
