A charming original 1970s Mandy doll from the highly collectible Palitoy Pippa range.

Introduced as one of Pippa’s fashionable friends, Mandy remains a sought-after character amongst vintage doll collectors and enthusiasts of British toys from the 1970s.

This example features a distinctive dark complexion with her original black rooted hairstyle and retains a colourful white dress decorated with vibrant red polka dots, red trim and matching red shoes.

The simple yet eye-catching outfit perfectly captures the playful styling associated with the Pippa doll line.

Manufactured by Palitoy, the Pippa series became one of Britain’s most successful fashion doll ranges during the 1970s.

Original friend dolls such as Mandy are increasingly difficult to find, making them desirable additions to specialist collections.

A wonderful piece of British toy history and an excellent display item for collectors of vintage dolls and retro childhood memorabilia.
