Summary
An 'Active Sindy' doll in its original pink and yellow box (circa 1982). The flesh coloured, plastic doll has moulded features and blue glass inset eyes, with bristle eyelashes and painted eyebrows. It has long, dark brown nylon hair held in place by a pink ribbon. It is jointed at the neck, shoulders, waist, wrists and hips and the ankles and arms are bendable. There is a light brown plastic circular stud to attach to a stand. This doll is dressed in a white nylon leotard, white tights and a tutu skirt made of layers of pink and white net, trimmed with lace and a ribbon waist band. The doll is also wearing pink plastic shoes. All the clothes are removable. The cardboard box has a clear cellophane front which is damaged. It opens at both ends. The 'Sindy' trade mark, 'a whole world to share' and the name of the doll is printed on the flaps and top of the front. The back is printed with an illustration of some Sindy doll hair styles and the movements this doll can make. There is a card lining to the box which is printed with a picture of four ballet dancers on a blue background. A heart shaped label reading 'The most pose-able doll' is stuck to the cellophane. Included in the box is a black and white printed leaflet offering free gifts when 'Sindy heart tokens' are collected. Total number of items is 4.
