    VanP, could she be a 1960's UNEEDA fashion doll? They were mostly Barbie clones.

    (I had thought SUZETTE, but perhaps not... Maybe WENDY?)
    Uneeda 1960's WENDY doll.jpg

    1960s Uneeda Wendy doll, 11 1/2" tall, a Bild Lilli look a like, Barbie competitor, these will be marked with a U on the head, but note this is a standard stock head, so many dolls not made by Uneeda, will also have that mark. Came in several different hair colors.

    from: Uneeda Dolls 1917-1961 (dollreference.com)

    She could be but these and others are name engineered. The same doll can have a different name, a different doll could have the same name. She could be anyone.
    No effort was put into these clones. You can find some in the same box but totally different dolls, you can find it the other was as well.
    The moulds were used and re used and sold to different companies at different times.
    She's a cheap clone from early 60s.
    The only way to be sure is to get one in a box and even then it only proves that that particular one was sold in that particular box.

    The above info in the website incorrect...U is NOT for Uneeda. It's currently unknown. This is a myth that's been around for ever.

    Could be Suzette as you mentioned but there are two other dolls called *Suzette* so it gets confusing. It literally is just down to the name, she really is a clone and that's all we can be sure of

    Thank you all for commenting here— sorry I didn’t reply sooner (couldn’t access Instagram and see what the original poster came up with). The conclusion over there was that she is an Eegee Babette doll. I love the aesthetic on pre-70s toys so I was desperately curious… she is definitely a Barbie clone but I can never resist the odd toys!

    Hi all,
    I just saved this guy from the garbage dump. I guess because the stand he was on must have broke. I took it off his hands and gave him $5.00. Now What did i do?
    He stands 12" tall, appears to be all there including real metal sword and dagger.
    I hope someone knows about him.

    I can't help, but doesn't it appear that he held something in his hands?

    It would seem that the blue hands could be significant.

    I think since the sword and dagger are removable the could be put in his open hands? I was wondering about the blue hands?

    If you follow @Bookahtoo's links you will find a couple, pictured. I did not follow through and read.

    I read it and didn't find anything about the blue hands

    You think if I remove the metal posts I can sell him with no stand?
