They even sell 2 of them together.....for less than what I paid for each one.

They have definitely grown up. I especially like Linor's Babushka Doll top - that ribbon on the doll's hair is a nice touch.

Linor has the most gorgeous eyes and it looks as if her hair curls. And Yuval looks as if he is full of mischief.

I'm so in love with those babies........... BTW, I think Linor is going to be the mischievous one. Just a hunch.

They mentionned that Sophie is made of pure hevea sap and part of it is handpainted (in France, not China for a change).

Who's "Sindy" Maybe a Brit thing? Anyone remember Tammy? She was Ideal's answer to Barbie....supposed to be younger and a bit less sophiticated...

Her little sis was Pepper to Barbie's Skipper!

I had a red buuble cut Barbie, black flip Midge, Blond Ken(with fuzzt hair as opposed to the plastic..some of which rubbed off...similar to Prince William

). and Tammy and Pepper. They (and all their outfits and accessories)are now be enjoyed by the third generation...my great nieces! ;D

Sindy was the British Barbie.

We are talking Barbies? First Barbie must have been that traditional bubble (brunette) hair Barbie but I also had Midge, a brunette Francie, a Skooter and most cool of all...a Twiggy! (albeit after my time with her, apparently nieces ran amuck with her hair) (wanted a Casey but did not get). My daughters "benefitted" from my Barbie enthusiasm ( then Bratz started to reign a bit before the lawsuits!). I do recall the Tammy as well...let's just say, I loved dolls in my day. ha!

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
