Petra Fred Peggy Donna Britta / Plasty Fashion Dolls

**PLASTY GALLERY * HEADS BY NAME (1964 - 1986)**

Some words about the identification of Plasty fashion dolls
Many Plasty dolls can be identified through body markings: some dolls have their names written on their back (Petra, Fred, Peggy), some with the addition "von Plasty" and some have neck markings (their name). Only the early versions of Petra, Peggy and Fred dolls had no markings at all.
Sometimes people sell dolls with "Made in Hong Kong" markings as Petra, but Plasty Petra dolls never had such markings. There were only some Peggy Star dolls in the late 1970s that have a "Hong Kong" marking.

I have made this gallery to provide an overview, but it is not complete. There are so many different Petra dolls.
