My mother played cards with her friends every week near one of the stores (it might have been just the one store that had the promo) so one night she took an old doll of mine with her to stop at the store on the way. The next morning when I got up looking for my new doll Mom told me that the Dusty dolls they were giving away as a trade were actually a smaller version with generic clothes (I can't really remember what the story was, but I gather it wasn't the Dusty doll I wanted). Anyway, it was apparently a really cheesy version of the doll, and my mother told me when the man at the store showed it to her, she told him that her daughter was going to be so disappointed. So instead, he gave her the "real" Dusty like you saw in the TV commercial. I don't know how many years it took for me to finally figure out that my mom actually bought me the better doll so as not to disappoint me :) Wish I knew now what the actual promo item was, but my mother can't remember.
