The Heidi doll. When you punched her bellybutton her arm'd fly up... presumeably in a wave. My little friends would punch me in my bellybutton expecting my arm to fly up. It never did. I had one of these dolls. 

People have certain expectations of you when your name is Heidi. One is that your hair is blonde and that you wear it in braids. Another is that you want to know they used to have a German Shepherd named Heidi. (Sadly, said German Shepherd is always dead by the time this news gets parlayed to you.) Another is that you are somehow responsible for the Heidi Game. And, for a brief period in my childhood, another assumption was that a punch in the stomach will make your arm fly up. 

That's all I'm going to say.
