ATTENTION !!!! MARIE-FRANCE ISN'T MANY !!!!

BELLA créa en 1967 pour le magazine MARIE-FRANCE une poupée très spéciale et très particulière (elle portait un uniforme : celui que portent les hôtesses de Marie-France c’est-à-dire un tailleur vert tilleul avec cravate blanches et chaussures assorties. Certains l’on comparée à la poupée MANY et disent même qu’il s’agit de la seule et même poupée ! Il n’en est rien ! MANY fut également fabriquée par BELLA et vendue dans les Grands magasins comme le Bon Marché mais elle est bien différente.

IL NE FAUT PAS LES CONFONDRE ! MANY n’est pas MARIE-FRANCE et inversement : ce sont deux poupées différentes. Elles ont le même corps, mesurent toutes deux 45 cm, mais les visages sont différents, MARIE-FRANCE est plus souriante et sa tête est plus petite.

Vous pouvez vous faire une opinion précise en regardant les deux poupées photographiées ensemble, les différences sautent aux yeux ! MARIE-FRANCE à gauche porte son uniforme officiel.
