I had a doll (and then a different one) that I dragged around with me; but we did not play. I did not view it as an 'entity' or friend or even ponder this. Later I had alot of stuffed animals-those I both played with and viewed as entities or friends or pondered the possibility of life: imagined ect.
I completely was offended and frightened by Barbie type dolls. Those were rediculous! But others fancied over them. Same with cabbage patch: wtf!? was my opinion. Parents committing assault over them.
I thought GI Joes were pretty cool, but never had any of my own.
