1970's Third Edition Crissy

Ideal released a third edition Crissy in late 1970. This is the version that I received for Christmas that year. By this time, the doll was so mass produced that the care afforded to the first edition dolls was not maintained through the third edition dolls.There were many mistakes made in the hair roots, cuts appeared uneven, and there were even dolls who had patches and plugs missing from their scalp.

Crissy now wears a sateen turquoise blue mini-dress with matching belt adorned with a flower buckle. It is difficult to find a dress with a belt, but even more difficult to find a dress that is not faded or snagged. The buckles on the belts tend to oxidize and wear with age. Both of these belt buckles are shiny and perfect.

The first doll arrived to us Fall 2005 still wrapped in cellophane around her head and ponytail. She came neatly wrapped in her turquoise tissue paper and has her papers, brush, letter to mother, and designer box with turquoise rope handle.

The first doll has a thinner base and pony. Her hair is cut in a long shag or modified Page-Boy. She has no missing plugs or other imperfections in her hair. Her make-up is slightly flawed in the blush moves from her cheek to the right of her nose and upper lip. All pieces of the original wrapping and box are preserved.

The second doll has a thicker hair base, cut into a Page-Boy. Her hair and make-up are flawless. She has her original box and paperwork.

Both dolls are not handled and are stored in a dust-free china cabinet in a room that is humidity controlled.
