Sorry, we couldn't find anything matching "This doll is part of the "Patsy" collection which was advertised as "The Personality Doll, The Miss of a Million Moods, Every Pose a Picture." EffanBee helped to stabilize the U.S. doll industry by creating this "wardrobe doll" that encouraged the sale of doll clothes throughout the year. It also introduced the fan club to the the industry which is a tactic still used by many toy companies today such as Mattel.
