Mattel often saw the inconsistencies as bad since they promoted the high quality of their toys. They would downplay, disguise and at times even lie about these details. Yet they can be demonstrated. It seems Mattels decisions to tinker with the dolls specs worked out well for them as far as tweaking the dolls but even better for us as these factors can raise the value of a doll. Also a lot of the toys are in the wild since Mattel never admitted they issued a varient and the child never knew their doll was different. Over time they learned how re using extras and old stuff could be done to their and our advantage but in the beginning they just did whatever they had to in order to assure profitability. Thats why it can be hard to find correct information. They hesitated to convey the truth in print in case consumer blow back cause them to change posture.
I love those Skipper dolls, I have one in the red swimsuit with Japan on the foot. But, its sideways and not down the length. It would be so cool to have proto types but they are hard to find. I can't leave any doll in the box, ever! I just found your channel the other day and it got me back into my vintage Barbie collection. I just picked up Masquerade Party Barbie from 2002, for $6.99 at a thrift store. I enjoy your videos, they are fun and have good information and inspiration.
I think my memory is correct on this fact. The Japan hard plastic heels and shoes for Barbie, skipper have a tendency to crack over time.. Many collectors substitute the softer squishy shoes.
Hi Mandi Lee I love watching your videos. You have a great collection. Did you do a video of your dolls displayed? If so I will have to look for that. Could you please show us the difference between a nipple doll & regular # 4? Are there others like that? My friend gave me some of her vintage Barbies before she passed away & now I need to learn about them. Thanks. My main collection is NRFB but now I hooked on vintage as well. Happy Barbie Collecting!!!
Happy birthday Mandi

Wanted to ask you where do you have them redone you say you had your dolls sent away to have them touched up on their face and hair

How do you find what estate sales have Barbies?
There are several websites for estate sales, usually you can do a search for specific types of items.
