2020 Sindy dolls revealed at Dollycon


Here is a reblog from Shimmy Shim and I’m trying not to get too excited about the idea of a line of collector Sindy’s that actually look like Sindy. Let’s hope the project goes ahead.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

    • These look more like the real Sindy than any I”ve seen. I’ve only seen photos of the Tonner Sindy but I didn’t feel she was quite right. I can’t explain why but I felt something was missing.

      • I agree,, these look much more like Sindy with evidence of variation on some of the sixties outfits. Tonner just didn’t get the face right, although, like you, I’ve only seen pictures. Unfortunately if £80 is the price tag, that’s way beyond my budget.

      • I imagine by the time we factor in the exchange rate and any import charges she may be nearly $200 here so that’s expensive for me. I like my original Sindy’s so I’d have to be very motivated to spend that kind of money. I thought the Tonner face was a bit wrong too. Maybe not British enough?

    • The early Sindy’s were not sold in the USA although later on Marx did introduce them but they never gained the same popularity. As Pedigree made Sindy under a licencing agreement with Ideal who produced Tammy they would probably not have been allowed to compete with them in the USA.
