Pedigree Paul, 1967: A Closer Look at Sindy’s 29cm Boyfriend Doll

At 29cm, this 1967 version of Paul sits apart from the larger examples of Sindy’s boyfriend. That compact scale is the detail that shapes the collecting experience: the clothes that fit other Paul dolls can hang too loosely on this one, and Sindy’s shoes prove oversized on his notably narrow feet. His proportions make him a distinctive display piece, while also calling for care when choosing accessories.

A smaller Paul with his own proportions

This doll belongs to Naomi, who has shared him before in “Vintage Visitors; A Sindy Surprise”. He was last featured as a Friday Guy in 2018, and returns here as a miniature 1967 Paul. Those earlier appearances give readers a way to place this example in the context of the collector’s collection, while the measurements and fit observations help explain what makes him different from the other versions.

The 29cm height is a practical starting point for anyone comparing him with another Paul. It gives a concrete reference for scale, but it doesn’t tell the whole story: his feet are especially small and narrow, so footwear that seems close in overall size may still fail to fit securely. The borrowed Sindy shoes were too large. That’s a useful reminder that height alone won’t establish whether an outfit or accessory suits a particular doll.

Clothing and display details

Most of Paul’s clothes are too big on him. For collectors dressing a figure like this, the fit issue is visible and specific: garments intended for larger Paul dolls can look oversized, and shoes borrowed from Sindy don’t solve the problem. A careful display can make those differences part of the doll’s character rather than treating them as flaws. The pictured outfit, with a white sweater bearing a red letter P and blue pants, offers one clear reference for how this Paul is presented.

If you’re assessing a similar example, compare the doll and clothing together rather than relying on a garment’s label or intended character. Look at how the sleeves, body and trouser length sit on the figure, and check footwear against the narrowness of the feet. These are observations about this particular doll, not a claim that every 1967 Paul shares identical measurements or fit. The source identifies this one as a miniature version and gives his height as 29cm; it doesn’t provide a full set of measurements for other versions.

What makes this example appealing

Scale and fit aren’t the only points of interest. The collector describes Paul as having “lovely colouring” and calls him “a very nice doll.” That personal response gives the feature its charm: the small stature and accessory challenges are part of the description, but the doll’s colouring is what makes him especially pleasing to his owner. For a collector browsing examples, that combination is a reminder to look beyond whether a figure can wear the most readily available outfit.

Condition and presentation can be recorded in similarly concrete terms. Note the doll’s height, the clothes shown with him, how those clothes fit and whether footwear is secure. If comparing photographs, keep the doll’s scale in mind so the fit doesn’t get mistaken for a feature of a larger Paul. The available description doesn’t specify a grade, production total, materials or detailed condition history, so those details should be checked directly on any individual example rather than assumed from this feature.

Further Sindy references

For detailed information on the different versions of Paul and other Sindy-related collecting questions, the feature recommends Our Sindy Museum. Consulting a specialist reference alongside measurements and photographs can help collectors distinguish versions and put a doll into context. This example’s most useful identifying points are already clear: he is the 1967 miniature Paul, measures 29cm, has smaller feet than Sindy’s borrowed shoes can accommodate, and wears clothes that are generally too large when drawn from the other Paul examples.

For display, the practical takeaway is simple: treat his petite proportions as central to the way you assess outfits and accessories. His scale, narrow feet and colouring make him a memorable Friday Guy, and a close look at those details is the best place to start when comparing him with another Paul.
