As Sindy collectors ourselves we have learned
that many of us have an overwhelming urge to learn more about the dolls
and outfits we own and have come to love. Because so little has been
written about Sindy in the past the demand for a comprehensive
identification guide is not only desired by collectors but is also
desperately needed. How we wish there had been more help in the early days
of our collecting when we excitedly paid through the nose for that small
Blue skirt thinking it was the elusive Mini Gear, only to be disappointed
to find it belonged to Faerie Glenn or Maddie Mod etc!
Our goal in
creating this website is to share our experience and knowledge as
collectors. We hope the photographs presented will prove to be an
invaluable reference tool in identifying the numerous dolls and
accessories that make up Sindy’s magical world. The website focuses on
what most collectors of Sindy consider to be her Golden days, namely from
conception in 1963 through to 1986.
We have tried to take a different approach from most identification guides
in that we aim to focus on the doll herself, correlating fashion trends
with the make up and hair styles Sindy wore between 1963 and
1986. A close inspection of the doll, rather than just her clothes, gives
insight on how her face was painted, how her hair was styled and all of
the influences that kept her a fashion statement during the changing
beauty developments from the sweet faced teenager in 1963 through to the
more cool and hip Mod Sindy of the early 1970’s. There is also an
interesting look at Sindy’s rival contemporaries: BARBIE, FRANCIE, TAMMY,
DAISY, TRESSY, ACTION GIRL, PIPPA, DAWN, SUSI, DOLLIKIN, TRIKI MIKI and
the original 1970’s CHARLIE’S ANGELS dolls by Hasbro. Little girls back in
the 60’s and 70’s were certainly spoilt for choice when it came to high
quality fashion dolls!
With large colour photos we hope the website
will delight anyone who ever played with a Sindy doll and for those who
did not it will be fun to read as a pop culture documentary about changing
beauty trends.
With
such a long production run and so many changes in Sindy’s look and style,
this is a mammoth task but we aim to add new and updated information as
and when we can. Please do check back for updates and additions and we
hope you enjoy the site as much as we have enjoyed compiling it!
Please note that in some photographs, Sindy’s
outfits have been accessorized with items that were not part of the
original Sindy line. This is purely artistic license! Please contact us if
you have any queries regarding this information.
