| Crissy Doll from 1969 has rooted hair that really grows. More dolls like this one were produced later: Joanne, Velvet and Francie soon followed. |
Above is a black doll version of Crissy from 1969. This might be the sort of doll that our Melody Ellison character from American Girl would like to receive for a Birthday or Christmas gift.
This ad appeared for the first time in a JCPenny catalogue. However, I was unable to find any advertising for the black version of this doll an any other published catalogues by Wards, Sears or JCPenny in the proceeding years. I suspect that the sales were low, so the doll was discontinued quickly. This doll would be very rare and quite collectable by now. If any of you have it tucked away in an attic or doll trunk, don't toss the doll; it's worth money now!
