    Help. Can you identify my Mego 12 1/2" Doll?

    Hi all

    Im just sorting through my vast Sindy and other dolls collection and I came across a 12 1/2" mego female doll. I have tried to find out what it is. Its body shape , height and date of manufacture place it as a c1975 Celebrity doll but I haven't found any text or visual reference to this doll. She has long straight blonde hair that comes down to her bum, blue eyes, huge 3D lashes and a lovely big toothy smile. Does anyone know who she is please????

    It's really bugging me!!!

    Cheers
    Helen

    PS: I would add the pictures I have but the forum will not allow me, is there somewhere I can add the pictures???

    I'm thinking you might have either Farrah Fawcett or Suzanne Somers (Chrissy). One was 1977 and the other 1978, however it's not unheard of to have newer dolls stamped with older copyright dates.

    Can't say for sure without seeing a pic.

    Here's Farrah:



    Here's Chrissy:




    My advice is to check out the Mego Museum catalog archives and see if anything looks familiar if these two are not it.

      Hiya, thanks for the quick reply. I have looked at both of these doll and she doesn't look like either. Her hair is dead straight and her facial features are different but her body is the same. Is there a place I can upload pics? Or can I email them to you to have a look?

      Cheers
      Helen

            The Mego Jordache figures all have closed mouths.

            Mego made a Cheryl Tiegs doll ?

                      Maybe it's the one-of-a-kind, never-released, prototype Cheryl Ladd doll to replace Farrah?


                      I don't know who else from the mid-70's it looks like to me?

                        ...Just a wild guess based on the likeness of the doll. I think it looks like Cheryl tiegs, and she was popular at the time?

                          Don't you mean Suzie Chapstick??

                          Why was the memory of that commercial still in my head?

                          Those brain cells could be used for so much more.
                          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                            Are there any markings on the head itself?

                            Perhaps a head swap?

                              Hiya

                              Nope, no markings on the head. It's puzzling me, Ive checked the dolls people have suggested and tried to find dolls of the TV stars suggested but no luck. Could it be poss she may a European Mego doll as i am in the UK???
