American Character produced the Sweet Sue Sophisticate dolls for only one year in 1957 and was made in 14", 20", and 24" sizes. From 1958 on they were simply Toni dolls. Toni dolls were produced in 10", 14", 20", and 24" sizes. At first glance, there appears to be no difference between the two dolls, however that is not entirely correct and there are actually a few subtle differences, if one looks closely.
For instance, the Sweet Sue Sophisticate doll has eye lashes underneath her eyes while the Toni doll has lashes only at the corner of her eyes. Sweet Sue Sophisticate can swivel and bend at her waist and is able to turn and tilt her head. Toni can only swivel at the wait and while she can turn her head, she cannot tilt it.
