Other: Ideal created this slender Tammy that could wear some of Barbie’s clothes. The original Tammy (no Black version exists) had a fuller teen-age-type body and could not share Barbie’s clothes. Another Black Tammy (not shown) has a slender, soft vinyl, poseable body and is often referred to as Posable Tammy. The posable version wears a nautical two-piece fashion. Both Black versions are very hard to find.
