1985 Premiere Night Out

Here is a fun picture of my 2 Premiere Girls off for another night out. I re-curled the girl on the right as her hair had lost all it's curl

1985 - Starlight

1985 Starlight is very cute. I had the red version as a kid, so got the green version this time round. She is beautifully mint. I have another one for my sister too!

1985 Premiere & Starlight

My 2 new dolls, Starlight and Premiere. Lovin them both, thanks again to the lovely Linda!

Exciting updates coming soon

So I have now sold all my Hot Looks dolls, well except for Mimi who I had originally back in 1987. They will be flying the nest in early July...bye girls.

So what do you replace Hot Looks with, you guessed it Sindy!

I have some really nice dolls coming my way over the next month that I have saved with some great sellers.

A few girls will be getting upgrades too so watch this space.

Aslo coming up, a few more fashions that I have not got around to photographing.

Want a Sneak Peek of a very excting update?

Yes my total fave Premiere Sindy! After not seeing her on e-bay for 12 months 5 of them all show up in the same week! Typical. I think I have got the prettiest one too ;)

Pictures next week!

1985 Style - Horse Mad

1985 Style - Horse Mad




Another year and another Sindy horse riding fashion. Sindy seems to have been riding horses since 1976 as a horse themed fashion had been released with every collection.

1985 Style "Texas Rose"

I have explained in previous posts about my 1985 lapse from Sindy to Barbie, so it comes to no surprise that this cute outfit is a first for me. I don't think I would have chosen it as a child anyway.


It really appealed to me when I started re-collecting.I think it's the high waisted trousers (Eat your heart out Simon Cowell). It's a good name Texas Rose as it does have a very Texan vibe to it. Beach Party Sindy was the first choice for this outfit as it really compliments her dark hair and vibrant red lips.

1985 Fantasia

2 Cute fashions from the '85 Fantasia range. I must note they where really hard to get on (for any one that struggles with arthritis like me)

I didn't have much of the 1985 range in fact only a few outfits, when I look at the Barbie collection from '85 I see a lot of stuff I had so I guess Barbie was getting the monopoly in the UK at the time.

I guess thats why Sindy was relaunched in 1986, I look at that '86 range and we had it all nearly so I guess that Pedigree plan worked with me for a while anyway...until Jem came along in late '86.

I didn't have many from this range, I think they style was defiantly changing in the mid 80's as there are not really many dramatic fashions here. The only fashion I recall having was the green shorts suit from "Style"
Looking at a Barbie leaflet from 1985 http://barbievjem.blogspot.com/2008/12/barbie-world-of-fashion-leaflet-1985.html I think Barbie had won me over as I had a lot from that range with the cool dolls and twice as nice fashions.
I do like a lot of these fashions now, I only think I would go for the "Style" range.

1985 Elegance "Main Attraction"

A beautiful loose fashion from the very lovely Linda who has helped me get quite a lot of my collection. Big Thanks Linda.

I never went for the more fancy fashions as a kid, I don't know why? This is quite stunning on good old red!

1985 Cut N Style / Dazzling Sindy / Haute Coiffure

The funniest thing happened to me...it starts off "I was drunk"

I had just completed my own Dazzling Sindy, see below posting, however I decided to bid on a boxed one on e-bay as it was super cheap which I knew I was not going to win.

Cut to a few days later and I won her as no one else had bid, I was so surprised £25 bargain!

I put my girl on e-bay and sold her for £23.00 so I was happy. My boxed girl arrived today.

She is super cute!

Here are the box scans.

She looks amazing in the first picture, although I have a different necklace on my doll than the one pictured. I think the same one as Masquerade Sindy.

I was also really inreagued to see the spare hair and leaflet that came with Sindy. I remember having her as a kid and sending away for some spare hair.

99p for spare hair including posting, wow cheap or what. I think I got 4 . They took ages to arrive if I remember.

Cut N Style to Dazzling Sindy

I loved 1984's Cut N Style as a kid when I first got her as a kid, so I couldn't wait to get her again.

I won her practically complete from e-bay but I was kind of dissapointed with her as her hair had been snipped and didn't look too fab. http://sindyland.blogspot.com/2009/03/1984-cut-n-style.html (See my older posting)

I had also discovered that they had re-vamped Cut N Style in 1985 put her in the seperate fashion "Dance Crazy" and called her Dazzling Sindy. I really don't remember seeing her as I am sure I would have got her? Perhaps other dolls took preference like Shaping Up Sindy & Starlight Sindy? This was Sindy's last year as we had known her so maybe Pedigree where using up old stock before 1986's re-vamped Sindy? Lots of stock was already being used on the budget priced 'Miss Sindy' dolls.

Anyway a Sindy friend Nic contacted me to see if I wanted to trade my Sindy head for one she had. Nic had aquired a doll to re-root but her hair was beautiful and she didn't want to cut it.

We decided to trade heads and dresses, so now Cut N Style has been transformed (With much thanks to Nic) to Dazzling Sindy. She looks so much better and I am totally happy with her now.

I have always loved that shimmery material used for this dress

She has a very 50's vibe about her in this fashion

The little jacket is cute.

1985 Shaping Up Sindy

"Ok here we go to the gym"


"Lets warm up"


"Ok I think I am done"
