Useful links to ID Barbie/Sindy/Pippa dolls( x posted from old arena)

[partypony566]

Thought I would post this here as it used to be on the old arena and I think it was helpful for some. These are all links that help me identify the untold Barbies and sindys that I've bought from thrift stores over the years.

Almost weekly I end up with yet another Barbie from the charity shop and it's hard to know what year/era it's from just by the face. *I have now added some useful links to id Sindy dolls too*

This is a brilliant site for Hasbro and Pedigree Sindys!

ETA 26/9: A site that has lots of pictures of barbies, 80s, 90s and 2000s, as well as silkstone, holiday, anniversary, dolls of the world... it doesnt have every doll but it's still a great site!
