When did you start collecting Sindy and why? I started collecting Sindy in lockdown in 2021 when I saw a Facebook post about Kid Kreations new Collectable Sindy. Reading about the release, it reminded me as a child I’d always wanted a Sindy but, the closest I got was owning an Action Girl by Palitoy. It was given to me at Christmas in 1975, I insisted she was my Action Man’s girlfriend LOL and I use to make her fashions myself. How do you find the Sindy collector community? I find the Sindy Community gives me great joy and comfort. I have made some wonderful friends since I started taking photos of my girls and posting them on social media. What is the most prized/treasured piece in your collection? My Shaping up 1985 Sindy of which I named Veronique. I have created her into a bit of a style icon. She’s not the most expensive doll in my collection but, I love her dearly. (In fact she has become such an icon she is making her debut in this issue as a new Mam'selle style columnist, see pg. 24) What is missing from your collection or, what are you lusting after? Definitely Sindy’s friend Gayle by Marx Toys. If anyone would like to gift me one I would be over the moon! LOL
