Susie Sad Eyes Doll

Susie sad eyes by various companies, Hong Kong 1960's

Susie sad eyes is a cheaply made 8" doll that was produced in vast quantities for years, and from several companies, under many different names and packaging.

The first version was probably the "Sad eyes doll" who had short black rooted hair and wore a polka dot dress with white collar and sleeves, tights and black boots.

Then came Susie Sad Eyes, slightly different mold and make up, three haircolours, black, light brown and blonde, wearing countless variations of the same dress. After that, there was Susie Slicker, who was dressed in a slicker set, again in many variations.

It seems many Susie Slickers have a very red vinyl head, of a somewhat square shape, perhaps a bad mold. Same haircolours with the previous version, plus a very rare orange haired one.

There is also a rare black version that must have been released along the slickers judging from the package. She had a mini afro and came in many totally different outfits, under the name Soul Sister.

Other versions we have discovered include a 50s style Dress me with hard plastic body, with only movable arms, she has blue eyes and comes with blond or black hair. Also two 9" Susies, with very different head molds make up and rooting patterns.

One was marketed under the name "Sandy".
