What's the difference between Barbie and Cindy?
Barbie was, and still is known for her more mature and beautiful looks. She also has her many furniture pieces, homes, and cars. Sindy, on the other hand, was meant to portray the girl next door look. Yes, she had plenty of accessories, but they were nowhere near as extravagant as Barbie's.
When Sindy was originally launched, she was always the younger, more wholesome doll compared to American glamour-puss Barbie. Sales of Sindy have struggled in recent years, particularly when Woolworths stores closed as they'd held the exclusive licence to sell them.
Sindy is a British fashion doll created by Pedigree Dolls & Toys in 1963. A rival to Barbie, Sindy's wholesome look and range of fashions and accessories made her the best-selling toy in the United Kingdom in 1968 and 1970.
Cindy Smart is a brand of doll manufactured by Manley Toy Quest. Introduced in 2002, Cindy Smart was the first doll that could see, be capable of reading words in five languages, do basic math, and tell time. The doll was first sold in the United States, and then in Australia beginning in 2003.
