    Released in 1969 from Ideal, the Crissy Doll was a big and bold entry into the fashion doll scene, with the unique (at the time) ability to “grow” hair.
    Crissy stood approximately 18-inches tall and had a thick strand of adjustable hair in the top of her head. Children could lengthen Crissy’s auburn locks down to to floor-length by pulling on her hair, or shorten it by turning a nob on her back to “rewind” it. The mechanism to manipulate the length of Crissy’s hair was unique enough that Ideal secured aa patent on it in 1972.
    Ideal shipped Crissy with a set of instructions, a rat-tail hairbrush, and a hair-style guide. Some dolls were also shipped with a “Letter to Mother” that outlined to parents how the doll should be cared for to ensure long-term play value.
    Ideal provided a complementary line of clothing and fashion accessories for Crissy that could be purchased separately. Crissy also had an extended family: Kerry, Brandy, and Tessy each stood 18-inches tall and featured the same adjustable hair. Smaller 15-inch tall friends included cousin Velvet, Mia, Dina, Cricket, and Tara.
    The popularity of the Crissy line allowed Ideal to release several versions, including “Movin… Groovin… Crissy,” which had a turn-able waist; Talky Crissy, which spoke twelve unique phrases; and, Beautiful Crissy with a Swirla-curler that provided even more hair-styling options.
    Crissy disappeared from store shelves in 1974, in large part due to Ideal’s financial difficulties. The entire line remains popular with collectors, with several hard-to-find versions of the doll commanding hefty prices at various auction sites.
