Featured Fashion dolls- Sindy / Barbie/ clones for Bou

@BoudiccaJones this is the first bag of dolls from the loft! Several more to come when I can reach them
Most look like clones, all are a bit minging!
Are any of the dolls or bits of clothing of value or is this all scrap?
Thanks for looking

 

Next lot!
Oh @BoudiccaJones I need you
Many apologies for nudity and shocking condition of dolls. Let me know if you need any info from their backs.

 

Hey lovely xx
In first pic,all are clones except the *2 Gen Sindy*, her neck's been pushed too far down, head could be ripped inside but maybe not.
Some of this particular type have *bunches*, if you look at the back of her head you'll be able to tell if she is or not. Doesn't look like it and they usually aren't but may be worth checking. Slightly better if they are but only marginally.
The clone below is wearing Sindys' original outfit ( yellow haired clone, yellow and blue tracksuit)


The one armed, not leg *sigh* and it it there? dolly is Angie Dickinson ( Policewoman)

All in next pic are wearing clone outfits too and are clones, except the small one wearing a Pinafore. Still a clone but she's wearing Jenny My Best School Friend's Pinafore. Oh and small one,slanty waist, bob is a Flower Fairy

Pink leotard is 1984 Skipper's, rest hand knitted or clone

Sindy 1 is a cusper. Hard to see the face with all that crap on it but she's a late 70s Active Ballerina. Semi hard head.

Sindy 2 is marked *Sindy* and is a 1984 Basic.

Sindy 3 is a Vivid Imaginations Sindy. Far too new for my scope but she's mid 2000s I think.

Sindy 4 is also an Active *2 Gen*

Dolly 5 is Tressy

Dolly 6 is that Minger, aka 1987 Hasbro Sindy. Not her original outfit,not a Sindy outfit at all. Dunno what it is though. She's a *City Girl*.

Dolly 7 is the same, ( 1987 Hasbro) but a Funtime and wearing her original outfit. Stiff legs. Actually...can never remember if these are Funtime, or My First Sindy OR a Woolworths special....I don't have any of 'em (thankfully lol) but is a 1987 Hasbro xx


Dolly 8 is 1985 Cut and Style Sindy ( big hole at top of head)...does she have the plate at the back of her body or is it missing?.

Next pic down: mostly clone from what I can see but tartan trouser are part of a Sindy outfit from 1984, and jeans and blue tartan shirt are Tressy's.

Next pic down has the tartan top from the trousers I mentioned above (1984 tartan outfit **Casuals**) and a lovely Sindy dress, the best thing you have is 1969 Sindy's (pink) Fashion Girl dress. A centrepart was sold wearing it in that year, a Sidepart was sold wearing it the year before. It comes in loads of variants and this pink one is the most common ( this dress...not my pic)





The red pyjama top with lace is Sindy's dressing gown
( can't remember actual year but is mid 60s, *Frosty Nights*, it also has pyjama trous and a top/nighty)

The rest are too modern for me to have any idea really.

@KSW ... the Sindy's, someone could sort out so are worth listing but they won't get much and they'd have to be sold to someone like me that could do it. The ankles are shot on both the Actives,and that's a specialised job ( I hate doing it and I don't really know many who can do it).
Of course someone may just like them as they are. Not all collectors are as fussy as I am. I'd HAVE to sort if they were mine. I personally could get that pen crap off but not everyone could,and will take months. I have had worse.
2 gens are the most common Sindy's ever and they don't tend to fetch much even if in wonderful condition. However, have noticed Sindy prices are up lately so might be worth doing a TLC lot.
They aren't *that* bad, I like a challenge and I know I'm not the only one!!

The 1969 dress I mentioned is the best and I'd sell that separately. Probably worth about £30 (if in great condition ) (I'd BIN that personally with BO)

The 1987 Sindy in her original dress ( dark vinyl, stiff legs) will also probably be worth doing alone. For some reason people want them in their collection ( I DON'T LOL) and in her original dress which isn't the worst one I have ever seen)... maybe worth it. I'd give it go if it were mine.

OOh the last pic, only just seen a gold mini-skirt. It looks like the skirt from 1984 *Metallic Mover*
Hope I haven't missed anything,I know I have,need more of that magic liquid ie coffee
I might know more clothes if they are spread out a bit more but I am not overly hopeful. I don't believe any are Sindy BUT I always miss things first time 'round.

Knew I'd missed sommet....Tressy is wearing genuine Tressy clothes

Oh and if you sell the poor Sindy's that have seen better days,they are literally the easiest to reroot so maybe mention that? They have soft heads,I can do one of these in about three uninterrupted hours so maybe say something like *nice beginner reroot lot* or something.

All the Actives have melt which is quite common in attic stored dollies


Sindy buyers are Mad in the nicest possible way. They will often pay over the odds for something that's not realistically worth it, yet let the nice items go unobserved and cheaply (thank goodness, that's how I have so much nice stuff, I notice everything) so you may be pleasantly surprised. I can never tell which way it'll go. Collectors see Sindy and go MAD. ( just not very often on MY auctions)
Hope this helps xxxx

 

One of the small dollies in the first pic looks like a Uneeda AND if you need any more info/me to clarify or anything just ask me xx

Oh and Tressy usually sells...they often have chewed hands, does this one. @KSW ? The blonde ones are the best sellers but I've always been able to offload Tressy. I only keep the HTF ones

NOT MY PIC

That 1984 tartan affair *Casuals*




If it were me, I'd sell the Sindy's together with their outfits as a TLC lot. I'd whack the brunette in the first pics' original outfit ( track suit) on her.

Tressy with her clothing alone

1968/69 Fashion Girl dress alone ( approx £30 BIN with BO)

The clones and Angie Dickinson ( mentioning her) and the clothes as a lot. And with the Flower Fairy

The Vivid and the Hasbro without her original dress as one lot

The Hasbro with her original dress alone

 

Wow, you are amazing Bou!. Thankyou for such a detailed reply, I didn’t expect so much information !
.I will go through them with the info you have given me. I really appreciate the time you have taken

 

No problem at all my lovely. If you need any clarification or anything just ask <3

Oh and some clones sell OK, that Barbie looking one's quite cute

 

I'll repeat KSW!

You ARE amazing!

No rebuttals from you.............you really are!

 

That's very kind,Judy <3 thank you xxxx

 

Well said

 

Thank you my lovely!!

For some reason I thought Angie Dickinson only had one arm...I think it IS there? xx

 

Which one is Angie? You said she only had one leg so I got confused on that one
Ah, got it now! She is armless….

 

I got myself confused as well. Tis a common occurrence
