Sindy's Friends
|
During the years
Sindy had several friends and relatives, starting with boyfriend
Paul in 1965 and sister Patch in 1966. They both have their own page
on this site. In 1968 there were Vicky, a friend and Mitzi, a friend
from France, both the same size as Sindy. Also in 1968 Sindy's
little cousin Betsy from the USA was introduced and Poppet, a friend
for Patch. June came in 1972 and later in 2 more versions. Then
Sindy had to do without friends until 1986 when both Mark and Marie
appeared for one year only. On this page we will show some off these
dolls, Vicky and Mitzi and Poppet may arrive later.

Betsy
Betsy is a very
small doll, 6 inches or 15cms tall. She has the same body as the
better known Tutti from Mattel, with wires in arms and legs.
Her body is marked Made in Hong Kong. She has a round little head
marked Hong Kong with blue eyes without lashes and orangey lips. She
has curly hair with bangs and came as a blond or a brunette. This
doll is very rare as she was made for 1 year only. Betsy has only 4
outfits.

June
June was never sold
in the shops but was available ( in the UK only) for 24 Sindy heart
tokens, which could be found on boxes of Sindy clothes and dolls. In
the 1972 booklet this fact was published and first June was
pictured. Two more June dolls would follow after this one but their
pictures were never published in the catalogues.

First June
The first June
was Patch sized, 9
inches or 23cms tall. She has a Patch body marked 047001 and her
head is marked 055001. She has curly, reddish hair , a big
pink mouth and pink cheeks and a stubby nose. This doll is rare.

Second June
The second June
was Sindy sized with a Trendy girl body with Trendy Girl markings
and a much sweeter face. Her head was marked 0550 4 on the
head. She has big, pretty red lips and platinum blond hair with a
fringe.

Third June
The third June had
the 1975 skinny Sindy body and again another face. Her head has the
same markings as second June, her body is marked MADE IN HONG KONG
033126 x and 033127x. June has pink lips and big blue eyes
and can be found with honey blond or platinum blond hair. This doll
is the easiest to find of the June dolls. Sometimes this head
is found on a Trendy girl body, I'm not sure if this is factory-made
or not.

shiny red hair with matching eyebrows and lilac eyes. She has an
open, smiling mouth and is marked: Marie on her head. She has the
standard Sindy body but unmarked and with rather big hands. Her arms

separately or as a bride in the Royal Wedding set.
