| Ideal released me as an Canadian Crissy doll also. I have a much peachier skin tone and pretty light coral lips. I wore the same icon orange lace and bow tie shoes as the original 1st & 2nd edition Crissy's - except my shoes are shiny orange - like Cricket's. I have a bit of blue eyeshadow on. |
| See me I am a Canadian Crissy 3rd edition doll with my box below. I came with a letter to Mother written in English and French below. My box has writing in French and English. My outfit is the same as my regular 3rd edition version except my shoes are shiny turquoise. I also have blue eyeshadow. |

| One of the curiosities involved in Crissy Doll production is the odd hair color variation known as the "brown-haired" Crissy. A good number of these dolls were released so they are not too difficult to obtain on the secondary market. Instead of having auburn tresses this doll has unmistakably brown hair with a golden sheen to it. Nothing on the packaging or enclosures designated a "brown-haired" Crissy. However, they seem to all be 2nd edition straight-bodied issues. Ideal Toy production records were destroyed when CBS took over in the 1980's so there is no way of knowing if this doll was planned to have this hair color or it was "accidental" meaning a supplier sent this hair to an Ideal factory and they just used it even though the color was decidedly different. This brown toned hair variation tends to be on the woolly side. See the pictures below to see comparisons with the regular red haired Crissy. Be sure to add this unique version to your Crissy family collection. |

| Don't forget to add these two "UK" beauties to your collection too. They look very similar to the regular Crissy and Velvet issue but have strings with a button type circle attached (see photo) to the string which you pull to shorten their ponytails. They also have cute molded bellybuttons. |

| Note the beautiful brown tones of the Crissy doll's hair on the right. The hair is a softer texture also. Some of the brown-haired dolls have dark eye makeup while others do not. |
| The brownette on the right is modeling a Sears Hard-to-find Lingerie set by Sears 1972. |
