Crissy and Her Friends: A Guide for Collectors

Welcome back to the 1970s, when mood rings, clogs, and bell-bottoms were far-out fashions and Crissy and her friends were the grooviest dolls of the decade.

In this second edition of the first collector’s guide to the Ideal Toy Corporation’s growing hair girls, Beth-Ellen Colvin, a collector with one of the most complete collections in the world, tells the story of Beautiful Crissy and her friends, from her debut in 1969, to the latest issues of Baby Crissy in the 1990s.

Colorful photos of the entire gorgeous family modeling their cool threads will help the reader identify hard-to-find outfits and even harder-to-find variations. This e-book features convenient listings of current values, and a comprehensive guide to all of the growing-hair girls’ clothing, patterns, paper dolls, fashion cases, furnishings, and hair accessories. A large collection of “Wish Book” catalog pages from the era is also featured in full color. The reader will also find tips for restoring a Crissy doll and caring for her couture.

Whether hanging out in “The Peace Poncho” or decked out in “The Seventies Satin,” Crissy and her friends have always been right in style. If you’re ready for a trip back to the 1970s, it’s time to meet Crissy and her friends!

Groovy, baby!
