Ricky Clone

If you’re very lucky, you can find a Ricky Clone Doll. These dolls were only sold on the European market. Most of them have the same marking like some Hong Kong Skipper and all of the Skooter clones: NO. 998.

 

Others have unmarked bodies and heads. The dolls pictured are w/o markings. They originally came with glued on outfits. They were part of "Yesterday Dollies" costume doll kits" sold probably only in the UK. You can find a link to more information on these kits below:
