1985 Sindy: Ballerina, 42015.
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 has soft head with “Sindy” on a raised plate (sometimes hidden in the hairline) on the back of her head and the numbers “033055X” above her neck. She has long rooted hair, with center part with a white ribbon to hold her hair back in the typical Sindy styled pony tail. She has 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.
This Sindy doll (not the boxed ones) 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!
As far as TLSM can tell the Ballerina outfits from 1985 and 1986 are the same.
But in 1986 it came with the Smirky Sindy doll, wearing a striped leotard and wrap over jacket, as on the photo to the right.
