The first edition of Sindy Weekender was made in England between 1963-65 and had soft vinyl arms and hard hollow legs and torso. She had three different hair colours: blonde, auburn and brunette. 

The second edition, also made in England, from 1965 had vinyl legs and arms that was able to bend and hold the position thanks to a wire inside them. The outfit and the hair colours was the same as before (blonde, auburn and brunette).

In 1965 there was also a Sindy made in Hong Kong (which was marked on the back of her waist). She’s called Mini Sindy since she was shorter and had a smaller head (tends to wobble), smaller very hard arms and legs with tiny feet (from which her shoes fall off).
