Fleur Dolls - A

catalogue # 385 - 1010, year 1983

body: ballerina (bending elbows and ankles)

hair: blonde, pink, red, brunette, center part, two braids

shoes: white ballet (pointe) shoes, extra pair of white sandals

This Fleur is easy to identify - she is the only one with this hairstyle.

This is a beautiful set with a pink hula hoop, an extra jogging outfit made of white and pink terrycloth, and an extra pair of shoes (white sandals). Fleur doll wears a red skirt leotard with black stripes, white tights, white pointe (ballet) shoes, red legwarmers and a pink headband.

Aerobic Fleur doll's box is unusual, because on the back it shows pictures of all the things this Fleur can do (aerobic, dancing, jogging and hula-hoop). Most other Fleur doll boxes show other Fleur dolls and accessories. 

catalogue # 1002, year 1982 (debut)

body: non-ballerina (no bending elbows or ankles), legs move to front and back (not side)

hair: blonde, red, brunette, centre part

shoes: black knee-high boots

Amazone Fleur doll was - as far as we know - the most reissued Fleur doll of all. She was sold in four different boxes, starting in year 1982 with the slimmest box (see middle row). Around 1984-1985, she was sold again in a bigger box (two editions) with accessories (see top row). The accessories were: a silver trophy, riding crop, and blue button (gift to the buyer). And finally, she was sold again around 1987 in the new light-green box without a catalogue # printed on it.

It's still very easy to find Amazone Fleur's complete outfit today - that's no surprise, considering her four editions.  

Fun fact 1: under her red jacket, Fleur wears no top - only the white scarf tied at her neck (naughty).

Fun fact 2: Amazone Fleur's legs only move to front and back (not side), it is impossible for her to sit on her horse.
