Completing Your Collection: The Hunt for Sets 59 to 67
If you are missing any of these nine, start your search at vintage toy fairs in Mexico (especially the Expotoy convention in Mexico City). eBay listings with misspelled titles (e.g., “Glenda Modelos 59”) sometimes yield bargains. Join Facebook groups dedicated to “Glenda Coleccionistas” where veteran collectors trade duplicates.
A word of caution: In 2015, a Spanish recasting company began producing counterfeit copies of Set 63 and Set 66. These fakes use harder, shinier plastic and lack the subtle Glenda logo embossed on the bottom of each figure’s base. Always request detailed photos before buying high-ticket items.

Set 63: High Priestess of the Serpent Cult (1/8 scale)
Often cited as the most beautiful of the batch. The priestess stands in a ritual pose, holding a staff topped with a coiled snake. The sculpting of the layered ceremonial robes—with individual scales embroidered into the fabric pattern—demonstrated Glenda’s best mold work. A common modification among modelers was adding real jewelry chain to the waist accents. Guide: Glenda Model Sets 59–67 Completing Your Collection:
Introduction to Glenda Model Sets
Glenda's model sets have been a staple in the miniature dollhouse community for years, captivating enthusiasts with their intricate designs and precision. Each set, meticulously crafted, offers a glimpse into a miniature world, complete with detailed furniture, accessories, and sometimes, narrative elements. Standout Piece: A sleeveless A-line shift dress covered
Set 60: The Op-Art Experiment
Following the commercial success of Set 59, Set 60 leaned heavily into the Op-Art craze inspired by Bridget Riley. The illustrators went wild with black-and-white optical illusions.
- Standout Piece: A sleeveless A-line shift dress covered in concentric circles that seem to vibrate.
- Unusual Accessory: For the first time in the series, Glenda was given a pair of oversized "Jackie O" sunglasses, but with square, psychedelic frames.
- Rarity Alert: Set 60 is often found missing the "scarf" piece. Because the black-and-white patterns confused the die-cut machines of the era, many scarves were stamped incorrectly, making a complete set highly desirable.
