1980 Sindy: Active (Ballerina), 44664

It’s always hard to set a rule of how the Sindy items looked exactly in each year and which precise design the box had. As we know, Pedigree liked to use up materials, body parts and also packages that they still had in their storage, so there can be a lot of variations! But TLSM has tried to find the most common type of it all and this is the conclusion.

Sindy is the same as the year before with a soft head with the markings “2 GEN 1077” and under it the numbers “033055X” above her neck. Her hair is brunette, blond or auburn hold back in the typical Sindy styled pony tail with a pink ribbon, matching her shoes and skirt. She has light face colours double neck joint, “all-rubber arms” with bending elbows, hinged hands, fully poseable waist, click-click knees and bending ankles. Sindy can do split both sideways and back-/frontwards. Her body is marked Made in Hong Kong.

Her ballerina shoes are made of pink rubber/plastic with the fastenings in the same material. She still has her white leotard and fishnet tights so she can be a gymnast or a dancer in rehearsals.

This Sindy doll (not the boxed one) is here at The Little Sindy Museum.  She was purchased as an ‘used’ Sindy Active doll. TLSM is not 100% certain the head or body haven’t been switched but, as far as we can tell, it should be the correct doll on the photos below. Click on a photo to see it enlarged!
