1986 Sindy: Ballerina, 42045.
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.
Ballerina Sindy has the soft, new head mould with the characteristic 1986 “Smirky” smile and the name Sindy on a raised plate (sometimes hidden in the hairline) on the back of her head. She has long rooted ash blonde or blond hair, with center part with a white ribbon to hold her hair back in the typical Sindy styled pony tail. Her body is a bit lighter/more beige than the year before. She has double neck joint, “all-rubber arms” with bending elbows, hinged hands, fully poseable waist, click-click knees and bending ankles. She can do split both sideways and back-/frontwards.
TLSM has the first issue of Ballerina Sindy, one still in the box, two (one ash blonde and one blond) dancing in their tutus with the other ballerinas and one practicing in the display cabinet with her dancing friends. Click on photo to see it enlarged.
