WOW!! A FIND!! VINTAGE 1970's OTTO SIMON'S 'FLEUR' (DUTCH SINDY)!!!

FLEUR WAS CREATED IN THE 1970's BY OTTO SIMON - OUT OF ANGER OVER PEDIGREE'S DECISION TO STOP THE LICENSE TO SELL SINDY IN THE NETHERLANDS.  SHE WAS AN INSTANT SUCCESS - IN HER HEYDAY SALES EXCEEDED THOSE OF BARBIE AND SINDY.  THE ORIGINAL 1970's DOLL HAD LONG LEGS, VERY TINY WAIST, BENDABLE LEGS, POINTY 'BOOBS' AND SMALL HANDS.  HOWEVER IN THE 1980's THE DESIGN CHANGED TO A MORE REALISTIC BODY AND FUNNILY ENOUGH, THIS RESULTED IN A DRASTIC DROP IN SALES WITH THE RESULT THAT PRODUCTION OF FLEUR STOPPED IN 1988. THIS IS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL 1970's DOLL - 29CM TALL AND ONE MANUFACTURED IN SPAIN (AS INDICATED BY THE SMALL 'E' ON HER BACK) AND THUS EVEN MORE RARE!  I FOUND HER NAKED SO DRESSED HER IN AN ORIGINAL 'BARBIE' DRESS.  SHE IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH VERY, VERY FAINT AGE DISCOLOURATION ON THE BACK OF HER LEGS AT THE TOP AND SOMEONE HAS OBVIOUSLY SNIPPED HER HAIR WHICH IS SMOOTH AND SHINY AT THE TOP BUT 'STRAGGLY' AT THE ENDS SO DEFINITELY NEEDS A TRIM BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD LEAVE THAT TO THE EXPERTS!  SHE ALSO HAS A FEW HAIR PLUGS MISSING ON THE ONE SIDE WHICH IS LUCKILY HIDDEN BY HER HAIRSTYLE.  ALL-IN-ALL THOUGH SHE DISPLAYS VERY WELL AND HAS THE SWEETEST FACE - I CAN SEE WHY SHE WAS SO POPULAR!!  REFER IMAGES    SHIPPING R45.
