Ideal's Play 'N Jane marked "1971 Ideal Toy Corp. TIC-16P-H-181 Hong Kong". Bright red hair and a happy face make this 17 inch doll look like the 1970s doll that she is. According to Crissy's cousin Keri, Jane lived next door to Velvet and was her friend. Play 'N Jane is wearing her original outfit but is missing her shoes which look similar to Crissy's original shoes. Jane was not part of the grow-hair Chrissy family but was from the same time period.
