Fairylite "Quality" Toys...................If ever there was a misnomer. I suspect we have the quality aspect for their relative rarity these days.

10 were produced, however there are 2 different versions of Jeff and 3 of Tin-Tin, making a total of 13 to collect for the completist. Yes, I know there are other MINOR variations....pass me my anorak...................

The boxes for all the male dolls were generic. The contents were merely ink-stamped on the bottom flap. The cardboard is extremely flimsy and good boxes are hard to find. All boxes for the male dolls contained a gold insert.

The boxes for Lady Penelope & Tin-Tin were individualised.

The male dolls were blown plastic. A looped piece of elastic linked the head to the top of each leg. Another looped piece of elastic linked the arms. Elbows, knees & ankles were jointed by plastic pins. The hands were moulded plastic. Can be put into any ACTION position....................Mmmmmmmmmm. I think not.

The female dolls had different bodies. Both only articulate at the neck, shoulders & hips.

The boys' boots are white & initially came with the relevant sash colour sprayed at the top of the boot. However, be warned, a sweaty finger can remove substantial amounts of the colour. The boots are also prone to splitting as they are not easy to get on & off. Fairy Liquid helps........
