This doll is also found with brunette or auburn hair but those are so uncommon that they might have been UK issued only

Lovely lively 1976

1976 Lovely Lively sindy now has her arms attached by simple hooks on an elastic and the pins in the shoulders have disappeared. Her hair is slightly shorter and her head is marked 033055X but for the rest she remains the same as last year.

1977 Basic Sindy

77 Basic Sindy. In 1977 basic Sindy has a head and arms made of a new vinyl. The head is soft now and easily removable the arms are soft and pliable but cannot pose. The colour of the vinyl is much lighter, almost translucent on the arms. Sindy still has a high colour make-up with blush and her head is still marked 033055X only. Her body is marked Hong Kong below her waist. Her hair is dressed in a chignon and the hair colours are blond, ash blond, copper, red, dark brunette and black.

1977 active Sindy

1977 Ballerina This doll is made with new arms that do not have rivets but are simply hooked on an elastic inside. Some dolls still have the 3 part waist some not, which makes things confusing but Pedigree wasn't aware they were making collector's items!
