In 1962, the Ideal Toy Company released a doll that would completely change the fashion doll market: Tammy. 

With her wholesome "doll you love to dress" aesthetic, Tammy became a massive global rival to Mattel's Barbie during the 1960s, before she mysteriously disappeared from toy store shelves.

In this video, we take a nostalgic look at the vintage Ideal Tammy doll, exploring her unique look, original 1960s catalogue images, and classic commercials. 

Discover the fascinating history of the doll that defied Barbie and laid the foundation for other iconic fashion dolls like Sindy and Susi.
