Details
In 1965 #1010 Bendable leg Allan arrived. He had molded red hair and brown eyes. He's are marked: ©1960/by/Mattel, Inc./ Hawthorne/Calif. U.S.A. Allan was Midge (Hadley's) Boyfriend. Mattel gave Allan a last name; Sherwood. He and Ken were the only males to have a last name. Allan was named after Barbara Handler's husband, Allan Segal. When Barbara and Allan divorced in the 60's, Allan was no more and discontinued after his 2nd release in 1965. There were a limited number of dolls available until 1966. It wasn't until 1990 Mattel finally released a new version of Allan. In the box the bendable leg versions had red jacket, lighter blue shorts, blue strap cork sandals, black or gold wire stand, and booklet.
