Vinyl Dolls - "Katy KopyKat"

katykopykat Katie Kopykat was made by Palitoy in 1971. She is 18" tall, blonde, and is dressed in her original costume of a short turquoise dress with cerise spots, collar and cuffs. Katie's arms are jointed at the elbow, and were designed to copy a child's drawing by means of a pantograph which was attached to the doll's hand. Katie Kopycats are quite common, yet have been spotted on sale in antique shops for inflated prices, because the so-called double-jointed arms mislead dealers into thinking they are much older dolls.
