I saw this big doll in a Hornsea Charity Shop window and had to look twice!
Is that Candy? my brain shrieked!
Candy as in Candy and Andy, Gerry Anderson's photo-story kids comic featuring these two large dolls.
Ignoring the fact that Andy looks like the Good Guy doll from the later Chucky films I got to wondering if Candy and indeed Andy were commercially available dolls at the time, like April Showers and Tiny Tears et al.
I've read a lot about Candy and Andy over the years, including just recently Alan Dein's great short history of the comic and the hardbacks, Village of the Dolls [Alan is also the discoverer of the lost transparencies and author of a new book].
Alas, there's been no mention of where Century 21 got the dolls.
Where they made by Century 21? Does anyone know?
