No post today, my mind’s wandered away… Yes, I’ve had a rough few days, and haven’t been up for dolly play, so this week I’ve just got another quick update on Mystery Mary Poppins Sindy. You can see the original posts here and here. Thanks to the lovely Kaye, who trawled through her doll resources for … Continue reading “Quick Post: Update: Mystery Mary Poppins Sindy 2”
This week I have an exciting update on a doll I’ve been trying to identify for a decade or so, and that featured in my post Magical Mystery Mary Poppins Sindy. If you haven’t read the original post, then you really should, but here is a brief rundown: the doll appears to be a Sindy … Continue reading “Update: Mystery Mary Poppins Sindy”
If you’ve seen the most recent incarnation of the Sindy doll, like many collectors, you may be dismayed at what she has become. No longer a teenage fashion doll, she is now a chubby toddler-style doll, similar to American Girl or Journey Girls dolls. These new versions are quite nice, and no doubt appeal to … Continue reading “Quick Post: Sindy – New Moons”
When I started collecting seriously, I got all of my childhood Barbie dolls out of storage, where they had been since high school, and put them in a display cupboard. I then set about looking for my sister’s old dolls. I knew she had a Little Tuppence doll, Skipper doll – which turned out to … Continue reading “The Sindy Set – Vintage Sindy and Paul”
Seeing as this weekend we’re celebrating dad’s 90th birthday, I thought I’d post about a doll he gave me – Funtime Sindy by Pedigree. I can’t remember if she was a Christmas or birthday present or both, but it must have been around 1975/76, and there were some very mixed emotions around her for several … Continue reading “Funtime Sindy”
Most Sindy doll collectors are aware that the Sindy, Paul and Patch dolls starred in adventures in comic strips and short stories published in magazines and annuals such ‘June’ in the 1960’s. However, many people are not aware that Sindy and co. also featured in a set of six full-length adventure novels. The books first … Continue reading “Sindy – A Novel Idea”
I think you’d have a struggle to find anyone who hasn’t seen the Disney movie Mary Poppins, released in 1964, about a magical nanny in London at the turn of the 20th century. Like most blockbuster movies of today, Mary Poppins had a host of film tie-in merchandise, including books, records and dolls. One of … Continue reading “Magical Mystery Mary Poppins Sindy”
Last year I finally bought a doll I’ve been after for years, a gorgeous, 1968 Sindy side part by Pedigree. She’s not perfect, but I love dolls that have been loved and played with, and I really enjoy restoring them. Her hair is still a wee bit frizzy on the ends, so at some point … Continue reading “Sindy – the Late Sixties Kids”
I always try and call into TK Maxx if I’m near one, you just never know what they’ll have, and a few weeks ago I got a bargain, and a surprise. I’d seen a lone Lori doll on the shelves at my local store for a few weeks, but wasn’t really wanting to add another … Continue reading “Quick Post: Lori Doll Update and Kruselings”
Remember I said I’m not really a Monster High collector? Yeah, well scrap that. I’m all in. Well, almost all in. Unlike the Disney raised Millennial-generation collectors, I haven’t seen the Web Series, TV shows or movies, and I also don’t intend to. I’m only interested in the dolls, and even then, not all the … Continue reading “More Monster High – Part One”
