Sindy, the doll you love to dress
The idea of introducing a teenage fashion doll along the lines of the successful Barbie doll was first conceived by the British company Pedigree Soft Toys Ltd in 1962 and the resulting doll Sindy was released in September 1963.  Deliberately going for a prettier, younger and sweeter look than the vixen like Vintage Barbie, she had an extensive range of high quality fashions and accessories styled by top British designers. 
She has been through face and body mould changes as various companies took over her manufacture and marketing and has a variety of companions, houses, horses, fashions and professions.

A selection of Hasbro Sindys from 1988 to 1996

Sindy has been manufactured by four companies, Pedigree from 1963 to 1986, Marx during the late 1970's (including a black Sindy), Hasbro from 1986 to 1996 and Vivid Imaginations from 1998 to today.  She is rarely found for sale in Australia but is available in Europe along with a new group of friends and accessories.

The extremely popular Popstar Imani, Paul and Sindy, these dolls light up and the girls can dance.  They have become a valuable, highly collectable set since they were released.
