    The black-haired Barbie is Masquerade Gala Illusion, from 1997 or 1998, not sure which. She was part of a series, and they are all gorgeous, but you're right, she's something special.

    You always find such incredible things in your thrift hunts! I have an original Midge that my mother passed down to me, and whenever she starts getting a little sticky, I scrub her down with some baking soda and it takes care of it easy.

    "It's not about you Ken" Literally me when I found a Swan Lake In box doll buried in a pile at a toy show and got so excited thinking it was Odette or fairy queen but it was actually prince Daniel 😂. I felt kind of bad though immediately afterwards. Almost bought him out of guilt. 🤣Loved the video as always~

    53:22 To remove stickiness from vintage dolls, baby powder works very well and is safe for plastic and rubber, some people use cornstarch, but I think it can create mold over time, so I prefer baby powder.

    The Barbie outfit that appears in the box exists, but in red. It's calles Red Flare and it's fairly easy to get. I'm not entirely sure yours is the redhead Midge, she might be the blonde one which is more of a strawberry blonde. It's hard to tell with the light. And yes, the lips were most likely repainted

I picked up the case with the Maxie dolls and the Cut n Style Barbie, which for $13 I thought was fair lol. She did have actual (child safe) scissors, but the intended purpose was to just cut the hair that attaches to the velcro bit and buy refill packs to keep the fun going

    I grew up all through the 90s , I remember waiting in lines that were half a mile long to get beanie babies, especially the bears so I could resell them and buy concert tickets as a teen. I sold 2 princess bears and the Canadian bear for almost 800 bucks one time. The I got the worm one time and resold him for 700 then 98-99 hit and the poor things tanked in price and worth. However Ty said they are gonna rerelease them. I still have a couple dozen with tags .

If you find more vintage dolls that need love, Twin Pines sells a lot of vintage doll restoration products. I use them myself on my early 60's Barbies. If you google "twin pines dolls" they should be the top hit.

    What a fun haul. I love to see your hunt . Thank you for sharing. I learned new pokemon info too. The black haired barbie is pretty. I have plenty of vintage midge dolls. They seem to be in better shape than vintage barbie most of the time. You found one in great condition. She is very old. A toothbrush and soap will clean her up easy. Her lips should match her nails so she may have been touched up. I love midge. The songbird if out of box never has her bird. We had a jakks barbie type princess doll rapunzel. She had a beautiful dress well made. The outfit on the case looks like a vintage outfit but a different color. It was red. Silken flame I think it was. A red coat over a red and white dress. It's not too expensive and there was a reproduction too with a doll. Yup you had a vintage ken stand in the other video.

    If nobody has told you yet …the blonde short haired doll that was in the Midge case is Casey. I had her when I was a kid. Wish I still had all my Barbie and friends with all my accessories but my mom gave them to some of my younger cousins. I have however purchased some when I started collecting about 40+ years ago.

  • @juliesczesny90
    @juliesczesny90 Год назад

    Hiya! I've recently been replacing my stolen old Barbies. Still had my sisters' Black Bubble cut, Ken hard head blonde, & a few newer. (Just had everything in storage much too long).
    The red-headed Barbie in the case? She's a Bubble Cut Red headed Barbie! Hair's chopped. The blond doll, is 1967 Barbie #1160, and the other lady is correct: Mod Casey. But a new, special type, at the time: TNT -Twist and Turn, the very first Barbie to move at the waist! And Platinum blonde is the rarest, (I have TNT Brunette). Your red-headed Midge? Just wash her in Dawn dish soap, scrub gently with a soft, clean toothbrush. Then w/warm water, fill the sink like for dishes, and gently rinse her out. I do use Loreal conditioner on hair, and rinse it out. If you wish to pull her head off, I'd suggest to gently tie her hair together with a rubber band, or plastic coated twistie tie. I used a 2 cup soup bowl half full, put it into the microwave for about 2 minutes, until it's just below boiling. Boiling is fine, I just get nervous. Then turn her upside down, head to shoulders for 5 minutes. You need the neck post and the neck area to BOTH be soft, so you can gently wiggle the head off, without damaging it. Remember, you're dealing with a 60 year old fishing lure skin colored head, put onto a spin-casted hollow body. If she has straight legs, they are also a type of resin. If bendable, they are the stiffer fishing lure material, Yes - stiffer versions of Thingmakers, which are also fishing lure material - which I also collect.
    As for the cover? The yellow outfit is red, and I have both the dress, "Silken Flame," and the velvet overcoat called, "Red Flame." Both came with a hat and a clutch purse. I do hope this helps! You're welcome to contact me, I'm just getting back into this. BTW, I was gifted a few years back a human sized version of the, "Red Flame," coat, except in black! Thread gave in the shoulder, but the internal satin has to be opened up to re-stitch it. So happy to have it! BTW, I love to reroot hair on Barbies. I'm in the process of procuring the correct hair, for the correct dolls. Bubble cuts are stiffer than the original Poodle bang, Pony tail #1-4 ones. She's like 2nd gen Bubble cut, which I adore! Enjoy your lovely acquisition! Your entire collection trumps mine - just glad that you have them, to be honest

    a lot of very serious Barbie people may be 2nd or 3rd generation collectors. These are people that grew up in households where Doll of World and Holiday Barbies were priced collector's items that couldn't be unboxed. so for some people there are a lot of feelings attached to the Barbie brand. I gave my mother in law a 1962 Midge when she visited last summer. i think 70s dolls are harder to find because Gen Xers (the ones who grew up with 70s Barbies) are keeping them. And if they don't have them, they are being bought up super quick. I know i covet some of the early 70s dolls, and have been rebuying them anytime i see them out.

    At the first antique mall you visited, the Barbie whose face that you thought was gorgeous wearing the yellow top is 2014 Birthday Wishes Barbie.
    Regarding the Midge case and the yellow outfit: the outfit is from a fashion pack called Red Flare. To my knowledge, they never made the outfit in yellow like on the case and it's always been red. There is a 1998 reproduction of the outfit with doll if you really wanted the outfit but, again, it's in red.

    The blonde girl in that case that you liked with the chewed up feet is a Mod Casey...she's the same sculpt as Twiggy but Twiggy has very dark eyeliner, and seems to be much rarer (although I have 2, LOL)... Casey came with a metal earring that interacted with the vinyl and caused green ear, so check for that, as it's much harder to remove than from the vintage Barbies - the recipe for the vinyl is different, I guess. I soaked a doll with green ear in something that was recommended to me on a Barbie FB group, but it ended up turning the green stain brown, so she's still stained, and I don't know how to get rid of it. I got so excited to see Casey! 🥰 Made me think how would I react if you filmed something I'm really after (and I love american dolls which are hard to find here in the UK) - even wondered if it would be worth the price of an airline ticket!!😂😂

      A lot of 1960s Barbie advertisements say the dolls have Saran hair. I couldn't find one for Midge secifically but from what I've seen and heard all dolls from the early 60s have the same super nasty hair. So, it's most likely is a very weird grade of Saran.

      I think our use of terms like Saran and nylon is very biased towards the “standard” versions of those fibers honestly. Like Saran is just a grade of plastic (saran wrap) so it very well could just be a lower grade of Saran haha
