Randy came with an updo...
...or a bubblecut in black, brunette or blonde.
Randy had 18 outfits, including her basic Bermuda shorts and overblouse:
Queen of the Courts, Special Occasions Only, Flair For Fun, Snow Fun.
Everybody's Sweetheart, Low Tide, Jumping Jiminy, Tea For Two.
Outdoor Girl, Sleep Tight, Home Alone, Clam Digger.
Beauty and the Beast, Park Avenue, Let It Rain, Bull's Eye.
Hip, Hip, Hooray! and Bermuda Bound. You can also see the back of an outfit pack HERE.
In the UK Randy was renamed Mary-Lou, to avoid the sexual connotation of her real name, but kept all the Randy outfits.
But, just to make things more confusing, Fab-Lu had also issued a 9" Pepper clone named Mary-Lou, who came as a blonde or a brunette. Fab-Lu also made a range of even cheaper looking clones, called Ronnie (Barbie), Boyfriend (Ken), and Peggy (Midge).
Hello! Those are my dollies,the brunette and the raven haired.
ReplyDeleteI was actually doing a search for Fab-Lu as I got today what I think is a Peggy. She has Randy's face on a Babs body...I love these girls!x x
Awesome! I just realised I'm not following your Flickr stream - it's an embed though so it is linking there. :)
DeleteThey're really pretty dolls - and even Bill has his charms! ;) x
I've got a Mary Lou as well...I am a Sindy collector primarily but I do love some clones. Well...to be fair,I like most vintage fashion dollies. Have far too many...but aint they fun? x x
DeleteI keep saying I'm going to downsize my collection, yet all I seem to do is add to it!! x x
DeleteCan you tell me what a NIB outfit for Mary Lou is worth? Hard to find any info out there.
ReplyDeleteI really couldn't say to be honest - ebay seems all over the place on prices for dolls stuff lately.
DeleteI am thinking about putting my Fab-Lu Mary Lou up for sale on Ebay. Do you have a picture of the back on one of your dolls with the Made In Hong Kong that I could see? When I put a Randy doll on last time, everyone said her body was not a Randy as the words just didn't come together as one long word. I can send you a picture of my doll as well. Thanks.
