Cindy Doll is an English best-selling toy popular all over the world

The Cindy doll appeared in the UK back in the 1960s. Her distinctive features were short blond hair, plump cheeks and large blue eyes. She was called "a pretty little girl next door". Over time, her face changed toward a fatal fashionista and beauty, which was very similar to her main rival - the American Barbie. The Cindy doll was once incredibly popular, and over 150 million copies were sold for the entire time of the brand's existence. We can say that this toy was a real bestseller both in Great Britain and abroad.

Most popular dolls

The Cindy doll (and Barbie) are very attractive and, most importantly, are oriented to different age groups. Cindy is directed mainly at girls of preschool age, and Barbie, as a rule, is popular among older children. But in general, answering the question about what kind of toy for girls all over the world remains to this day the most recognizable, we can state with confidence that this is, of course, a doll. Barbie, Cindy (photo # 1) and their friends for many years become favorite toys. Original copies have turned into collectibles, and some of them reach a value of £ 1500. The trademark "Cindy" is officially registered and is protected in 56 countries.

Cindy - a doll that is nice to wear

Released in September 1963, the Cindy doll was an excellent model for demonstrating teenage fashion. For her, a wide range of quality models of clothing and accessories was created by the best British designers. The manufacture of toys for girls at different times involved five companies, and each of them brought the appearance of the dolls something of their own. The face and body of Cindy has undergone many transformations, hair color, growth, figure, facial features changed. In 1965, she had a boyfriend Paul, named after Paul McCartney, and in 1966 - a sister named Patch. For Cindy, houses, cars, pets were created, as well as a whole group of friends: Cindy, Vicki and Mitsi.

The evolution of the brand

The Cindy doll was released by the English company Pedigree Dolls & Toys, and largely due to its rivalry with the American Barbie doll, became the most popular toy for girls in England in the late 1960s.

In 1986, when Hasbro received a license to make Cindy dolls and a number of other popular dolls in Europe, the lineup included Peter and Tanya dolls, as well as inseparable friends Mark and Marie.

Such a different Cindy

Each new face was adopted in different ways. For some fans, the external resemblance to Barbie was a real disappointment, others this change was accepted with open arms. In 1993, Cindy celebrated her 30th birthday, in connection with this, a limited edition of 10,000 dolls for collectors was issued.

The success of the brand may be indicated by the accompanying release of goods in addition to the doll itself. It is a scooter, beautiful bedroom furniture, a bath set , a horse and even an ironing board with an iron, a clothes dryer, a place for drying clothes with clothespins and so on.
