Vintage Gund monkey?

I just got this weird guy. His tag says Gund but I can’t find any similar ones online. There are tons of rubber face, gund monkeys but they don’t look like this. Has anyone seen him or can you tell me what I should be searching for. Thanks!

New dolls

I picked up these dolls from a flea market on Sunday. The patsy type doll is larger than most. The smaller one is also composition. I don’t see many small compo dolls with sleep eyes. I tried to find something to use for scale but most of my stuff is oddly small or or large so that explains a cup of soup

Balance and prescriptions

I’ve been practicing regularly for about a year. I’m 47 and my balance was/is terrible. It’s not improving much.
I’m wondering if my medicine is having an impact. My prescriptions are light sedatives from a psychiatrist.
When I read the side effects, it says that it could impact balance but usually when you start taking it. I have no balance issues except during yoga so I wonder if it has such a minor impact that I only notice it when I’m doing yoga.
I was just wondering if anyone had the same issue or has heard of this. Or tell me I’m wrong and I just need to practice more

Advice

So, I don’t have many bisque dolls and I don’t know as much about them but I would like a really large one. I have looked at some flea markets and online but I’m over whelmed. What should I look for? How do I know if a head or body is original or restored? What about wigs? How do I know if they are original?

Pictures just for attention, he is my favorite bisque doll

New dolls!

I’ve been very lucky recently. Here are my dolls from the flea market this weekend. And the bee that was just delivered.
I also had a doll show and an estate sale haul recently. Now I just need space

New dolls! ID help please

I’ve been very lucky lately! I’ve bought a bunch of dolls (antique, vintage, new). I love these 2 but I don’t know anything about them. The little Black girl is about 6”. I think bisque.
The other baby, in the carrier is a puppet. There’s a hole in the back so you can move the arms. There’s a small glass bottle tied to her hand also. Not sure about the material, at first I thought composition but it doesn’t really feel like it.
No marks on either doll.
Does anyone know the era, name, any other info? I’d really appreciate it
thanks

Parson Jackson help

I got this Parson Jackson doll for a song but I started to think it might be a repro. The listing said it was a composition doll. It doesn’t feel like composition but it’s not hollow like a celluloid doll head. The body seems more like composition. I keep looking it up and I’ve found that they were called Kant Krack and were made of biskoline. I just don’t know what that feels like.

This is the picture from the listing because I’m at work.

TLDR: what are the original Parson Jackson baby dolls supposed to feel like?

I just picked up some dolls today and google is not helping me (is it getting worse?)
There’s a bisque toddler marked Simon Halbig 116a about 27” and a cloth one with maybe oil cloth painted face, she’s about 36”
I don’t know anything else about them, I just love them
