Gloria was the updated version. They are both beautiful but for me Betty Teen definately has the edge.<br />As for names, if the outfit is original and I suspect it may be then it's a big clue...<br />Try searching for either doll on Ebay and see what comes up, sometimes it's a great reference tool, unless you're like me, then your wishlist will get longer and your bank balance smaller!!<br />Let me know if you find her *Grin*<br />Good luck, <br />Herbs xHerbie Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291794445963147762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862785981784811341.post-13203718449309068672015-03-12T21:24:53.526+00:002015-03-12T21:24:53.526+00:00Oh my gosh, I think you're right.

I've just spent ages looking at Flickr photos and Googling but I still can't find the exact name of the doll.<br /><br />And my gosh, those dolls are gorgeous. Dammit, now I need a vintage one with a 60s style hair'do!

I'm very curious to find out...No worries girl, <br />I'm very curious to find out who she is myself!<br />The waist makes me think she may be a clone or vintage character doll as it's not often used nowadays - don't quote me on that, it's just an observation or possibly it means I just haven't gotten my hands on enough dolls Lmao!<br />Anyhoo, I'll ask - If you don't mind I'll have to share your photographs with the group too.<br />One other thing - how tall is she? I'm guessing Barbie height ...<br />As for google I thought the same thing! lol<br />Take care,<br />HerbsHerbie Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291794445963147762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862785981784811341.post-90597636757930341882015-03-09T21:46:51.828+00:002015-03-09T21:46:51.828+00:00Hey Herbie!
If you wouldn't mind asking your ...Hey Herbie!<br /><br />If you wouldn't mind asking your doll group for me I would be ever so grateful! :)<br /><br />I picked her up because I liked that she is ever so slightly smiling with her mouth closed. Maybe that sounds weird? But there are loads of dolls smiling showing super white teeth (mainly Barbies, I guess, well that's what I'm thinking of lol!) so I thought she was a little bit different. :)<br /><br />She has earring holes in both ears but didn't come with any. She has a swivel joint at the waist which is slightly diagonal i.e. not just a horizontal twist. <br /><br />She has rubber legs that you can bend and "lock" into place. They can bend both backwards (twice) or forwards (just the once.)<br /><br />Her arms stay in the same bent pose, but the joints at the shoulders are very good because you can twist and bend them facing anywhere.<br /><br />She has absolutely no markings whatsoever anywhere on her body. Not even a symbol or some-such. :(<br /><br />That's all I can say about her really. I like a challenge but honestly I haven't found anything about this doll. I think I am losing my "Googling touch." lol!

Most likely a fairy-type then.
You...Hello Sarah,<br />Most likely a fairy-type then.<br />You're very welcome by the way, anytime you'd like an ID I'll do my best!<br />Wow your little girl is gorgeous, I'm quite jealous! As for the ID it's a weird one, I'm leaning towards Creata, but the close up pic' of her face makes her look a bit Manga...<br />I recognise her, I may even have one (I have dolls everywhere here!)lol <br />Does she have any markings at all?<br />If you like I could ask the other members of my dolly group for you?<br />Just let me know, sorry I can't be much help right now... I'll definately get back to you on it though... Promise!<br />Herbie Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291794445963147762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862785981784811341.post-9453973427014270342015-03-08T13:36:40.386+00:002015-03-08T13:36:40.386+00:00Thank you Herbie!

The Lilac girl was a Barbie of some sort but I did not end up getting her.<br /><br />Instead, I picked up this girl with a sweet face. I am assuming it is a Sindy doll. It looks like the same make-up as the Sindy Icecream dolls, perhaps? Do you have any ideas? Warm regards, and thanks again. -Sarah :)<br /><br />http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t113/noirist/dolly3_zpsmgiloocl.jpg<br /><br />http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t113/noirist/83d05735-d140-4690-b632-c6d0f65dac7f_zpsbjnatwfm.jpg<br /><br />http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t113/noirist/dolly2_zps5z5moqpi.jpgnoiristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03554557008501619178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862785981784811341.post-42575687487879639762015-03-06T02:31:30.456+00:002015-03-06T02:31:30.456+00:00That's total pants, I hate it when that happen...That's total pants, I hate it when that happens :(<br />Hello to you too Sarah & welcome to my blog! I'm glad you like it, I really must spend more time posting my collection and wants, there's tons of it! :P<br />In answer to your question - it's a bit hard to answer without knowing a little more about the doll you found... <br />Barbie size: Spectra, Keira, Fairytopia, Mermaidia,The Princess and The Popstar Keira, Hairtastic, Magical Hair, Fashionistas or Sparkle Fairy by Mattel <br />If she was larger than a barbie and from the 80's, she could be a Holograms Shana doll (Hasbro Jem line) this doll has dark skin or Synergy who has purple skin. <br />If smaller then she could be from the Hollywoods by Tonka, Moondreamers, SheRa (more of an action figure than fashion doll), Aurora by Tonka or Carnaby Street Mary Quant. <br />This list is certainly not exclusive - there are so many others, also...<br />Some La Dee Da, licca, momoko, liv and Kurhn dolls have lilac hair and of course so do some Ever After High and Monster High dolls... Or she could even be a clone! <br />Without a little more info' it's impossible for me to pin it down, sorry :(Herbie Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291794445963147762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862785981784811341.post-55260942070546459062015-03-03T20:52:32.146+00:002015-03-03T20:52:32.146+00:00Crap!

Went back to get her today because I changed my mind and of course she was gone. :(<br /><br />And hello! I just found your blog the other day when I did a search for "Sindy doll with green hair." I <3 your blog and seeing awesome toys.<br /><br />I wonder if I could ask you; do you know of any fashion dolls (I am guessing 80s or 90s) that came out with lilac hair? There was one at the charity shop I went to today, but I didn't get her. I don't usually go in for most dolls but her hair colour is a bit unusual so I was wondering about her.<br /><br />Warm regards! -Sarahnoiristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03554557008501619178noreply@blogger.com
