In 2013 the Sindy brand will be celebrating 50 years of success with Sindy having been a role model, best friend and fashion icon to millions of girls throughout the world!

Apparently they may be bringing out a collection of Sindy Dolls to celebrate this but nothing has been confirmed as yet... as a child I was lucky enough to be bought Sindy Dolls and I have quite a collection which I have kept all these years... have a peek at their fb page https://www.facebook.com/VintageSindy/info

I have already chosen my fav 'Country Life Sindy'!!!!
