WOWOW! Finally! I find Tiffany Taylor's "mink" coat. You just have to see this. I also answer another nagging question for you. "Who is Electrowoman? Does she even exist??

What is this? Have you ever seen these Crissy family outfits? Nope, you're eyes aren't deceiving you. You haven't. But now that your interest is piqued, you'll want to go this long awaited, newest section of the site, The Ideal Toy Corporation, Buyers Catalogs. I bought all of these catalogs in the early years of my research. I've had them since the inception of eBay. I have wanted to put this information up for you for so long. This information was cut from the book back in 1998. I hope you enjoy it!

If you'd like to see the actual outfits, replicated, go to this page. So much of the detail is not visible in the pictures of the catalog. I think you will enjoy seeing these.

This beautiful two-page spread is found in the August 1969 issue of Playthings. Crissy has "debuted" to the world at the 1969 Toy Fair and Ideal is announcing all that they are doing to promote this doll. Their impressive TV commercial campaign was commented upon. This would serve to encourage toy retailers to buy plenty of stock to keep their shelves full of Crissy and her clothing line. These two pages are really big but I've resized it so that one can see the entire spread.

Look at this little beauty, courtesy of Ms. Lesley Douglass of Kingman, AZ. She is Velvet's Little Sister, the UK version.

My latest creation, Mersephone', is done! This little mermaid is crafted from a destitute Cinnamon doll. I invite you to get to know her!

Very recently, the collecting world was privileged to find these marvelous MIB outfits that "break the rules" of what we knew about early 1969 boxed Crissy outfits. Please enjoy this page.

This page also launches from a new window from the Crissy's Closet page.

Ever seen one of these? Your eyes aren't deceiving you. This is truly a yellow hanger that came in the cellophane packaged outfits. Hangers are usually clear plastic, but on occasion, one finds them in clear green and also in solid yellow (and I'm sure other colors will continue to appear from the norm).

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Fabulous aftermarket outfits continue to appear! Please check this page out and scroll down to the Totsy section to see an outfit by Totsy that was actually a JCPenney exclusive! It was created for Velvet's Little Sister.

Who does this pretty face belong to? Is she a Crissy family doll?

This is the face of "Beautiful Crissy and her Ice Skating Rink." She was an Australia-only release and it's really up to opinion as to whether or not she is part of the Crissy family of hair-play dolls. She does not grow hair. Learn more.

Check out this scarf for The With It Knit! In 19 years, I've never seen it made with the same fabric as the Sears exclusive marabou gown. Learn more about it on the Crissy's Closet page.
