- Here I’ve gathered up a long list of my favorite 80s Barbie and friends. Everything seen is from my personal collection. #barbie #toycollection #vintagetoys #toycollector #barbiedolls
I grew up dirt poor in Appalachia and on Christmas morning a local church brough me a real wrapped present. It was Peaches n Cream Barbie. I'd never seen anything so beautiful in all my life. My little heart stopped beating as I looked at her beautiful gown, her kind face, her gorgeous hair. Used to spend hours just lightly touching her beautiful gown. To this day I still gasp whenever I see one 🥰
Ahh, yes do you remember the spin toy and change around ruffle!!
@@hazeldavis3176
That is beautiful!!
You know, Andy Warhol PAINTED that doll. And he didn’t do THAT many actual paintings. In the grand scheme of things, Pittsburgh isn’t THAT far from Appalachia…
Did you get the reproduction when they came back around?? I didn’t and I still kick myself for not jumping on the “My favorite” and the other reproductions that came out in and around 2009. I had started collecting by 2019 but still hadn’t worked up a massive interest in having the 80s dolls. I do have some of the rewind dolls and they are cute!! It’s Bizarre to me that they didn’t do a mashup of some of the “gown” Barbies like peaches and cream.
I love the Barbie’s from the 80s and 90s ❤ they have such cute faces
The 80's was a really good period for Barbie. My favorite Barbie doll from this decade is Feeling fun Barbie. She's awesome! ❤
I feel super old when young folks like you refer to 80s stuff as “vintage”, because I remember buying it all when it was new on store shelves back in the day. Some of it I still have in great condition, but I’ve collected 80s stuff later as well. Here’s a list of some of my favorites from my 80s collection. I’m pretty sure I have multiples of all of these.
1980 Black Barbie
1980 Hispanic Barbie
1980 Parisian Barbie
1980 Beauty Secrets Christie
1980 Beauty Secrets Barbie
1981 Golden Dream Christie
1981 Golden Dream Barbie
1981 Scottish Barbie
1981 Oriental Barbie
1982 Pink & Pretty Christie
1982 Eskimo Barbie
1982 India Barbie
1983 Dream Date P.J.
1984 Sweet Roses P.J.
1984 Loving You Barbie
1984 Irish Barbie
1984 Fabulous Fur Barbie
1986 Tropical Miko
1986 Barbie and the Rockers, all five characters
1987 Barbie and the Rockers, Barbie, Ken and Derek
1987 California Dream Christie
1987 California Dream Midge
1987 Jewel Secrets Whitney
1988 Perfume Pretty Whitney
1989 Style Magic Whitney
I also really love the structures and vehicles from this era. I have the 1979 Dream House, the entire Dream Furniture collection (and some European color variants, the 1980 Dream Pool, the 1977 Star Traveler Motorhome (which I fully restored with custom new labels that I scanned, digitally restored and reprinted), the 1983 Dream Cottage, the Corvettes, Ferraris and ’57 Chevy, the Rockers Hot Rockin’ Van, Dance Cafe, Hot Rockin’ Stage, instruments, etc.
And last but not list, we can’t forget about the FASHIONS of the 80. So much great stuff to be had from this decade. I especially love the stuff from 1980-1984.
Very nice list! Beauty secrets christie is one of my favs too. And golden dream christie is my all time 80s favorite, but I’m saving her for a disco video. 🪩
And I hate to break it to you, but in a couple years stuff from 2000 will become vintage. lol but I get how you feel…even if I was just an adorable child in the 80s. lol ❤️❤️
@@Thedollswitnessyea when I was a kid that radio station B101 had the oldies of 50s music. Maybe 60s too.. now I think it's started doing 90s music as oldies
@@Siansonea OMG!! I LOVE TROPICAL MIKO!!!!! I got her for Christmas- My mom put her ON the tree!!
She's beautiful
This video almost made me burst into tears. MY CHILDHOOD.
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️❤️
🤩 how do you resist not opening all these great Barbie dolls… often enough I can’t resist and gotta unbox them
I just remind myself of all the unboxed pieces I have, and go play with them. lol ❤️
@@Thedollswitness
That and dupes!! Not always possible and maybe you have the dupe as a reproduction. That’s just as good IMO. I’ve been reckless with boxes but I’m not stupid OR made of money!!
What an awesome video! I grew up in the 80s and I remember when these dolls were on retail in stores. "Barbie and the Rockers" are just amazing and they breath 80s style everywhere. Every girl in 85 wanted to look like Madonna, so does Barbie! And the 80s stand out for neon colors. But the most beautiful Barbie ever is "Peaches and Cream". I mean, she stands for herself. No Ken, no playset, no other fashion-set needed. She is immaculate and flawless. When you saw her in a shop, you had look at her! Absolutley mind-blowing. And there was "Dreamglow-Barbie" with "glow in the dark" fashions. "Tropical-Barbie" with extra long hair. "Loving You-Barbie" with her heart-shaped dress. And there was "Sun Gold Malibu.Barbie". Very sexy in a gold bathingsuit. Or "Angel Face-Barbie". Ahhh and "Crystal Barbie" in her white evening dress. And "Dream Date-Barbie". All of these were so unique and iconic. This was the peak of Barbie, I guess. Nothing compares to the 80s.
Yea I landed in the East Village NYC at 16 years of age Madonna & Keith Harring Debi Mazar all lived just a block or two away in the 80s we were all friends... Such an incredible time period I associate my earliest memories of collecting Barbie with friend Ricky Wilson from the B-52s he also collected vintage Barbie & lived in the east village and he went to Barbie Heaven way to soon. Most everyone collecting Barbie then was mainly interested in vintage , it was the beginning for me ! My appreciation for 80s Barbie started in the 90s ! This episode of The Doll Witness was a great reminder of how great the 80s dolls were ! Barbie is infinity ! Happy barbie collecting ! Matt Sky
Nice list! Yeah I knew people would want crystal barbie, and I love the later Malibus too, but ya know…time. lol ❤️
I had Day to Night Barbie, and I still have Peaches and Cream Barbie from wayyyy 🤭 back in my childhood. My Dad bought her for Christmas, and she's still beautiful.
I love your videos btw.
Barbie and the rockers really was one of my favorite doll lines and still is
Dream Glow Barbie is my number 1.
When I grew up in the 80s I was mostly playing with G1 My little ponys. But my stepsister always got Barbies and Barbie accessories from her father. One day she came home with Dream Glow Barbie, I was so jealous. I wanted one myself, but I only got Sindys or Judiths from my family. And a lot of Barbie horses. As an adult I started to collect Barbies 1 year ago . Dream Glow was the first one I bought. I am so in love and I look at her and all childhood memories come back to me. Since then my 600 My little ponies are sharing shelfs with a lot of other 80s Barbies:
Peaches n cream, Lovin you Barbie, Sea loving Barbie, Barbie and the rockers, Crystal Barbie, Angel face and Day to night. They all are favourites. And I swear they are multiplying!!, I am addicted and just got in to 90s dolls. So yes now I need a bigger house
The Barbie and The Rockers movie was my favorite when I was a kid. I have the record with the soundtrack...
Enjoyed your video. I had cool times Midge. She was my favorite doll i had i loved her freckles.
Love Kitty Black Perkins and her work on the Classics in the 90s
Cool times gives me 80’s themed diners
Angel face was my first Barbie my mom bought me
Never had Angel Face but man, she sure was pretty!! The hair, the head mold, face paint, outfit- everything!! But the teeny tiny cameo?? I loved it.
Cool Great Shape Barbie
I had the second edition of barbie and the rockers when I was a kid. So fun
Love it! Its like time travelin back to the Barbie aisle at Toys R Us with a comical tour guide. I can't handle the astro fashions, they're just so amazing... i love the space themed girl toys of the 80s
Thanks! Yeah the astro fashions are everything 🚀❤️
Love watching! You have good taste in Barbies! I prefer the Barbies from the 80’s and 90’s! Thanks!
Yay! Thank you!
Animal lovin’ Ken and Barbie. Back in the day when it was rare to get a pet with your Barbie doll.
So Good ! 80s Barbie ! I really loved Barbie & The Rockers Those massive Earrings & Colors are Magic * Thank you for another awesome video ! Your Chanel is mine & many collectors Happy Place Cheers Matt Sky
Thank you 🤗
Lolololol!!!!
I loved this video! Your a RIOT! I was cracking up!
Loved your pick of 80s Barbie dolls. I agree with you 95%.
Poor western Barbie! Girl looks jacked up and high or drunk!
The 80s were exciting and so much fun and very glamorous!
Your videos are my new favorites!❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!
I love all of these! My favorite 80's Barbie is Crystal Barbie. 😍
My favorite era of barbie 💕
The 80s was a rocking time for Barbie! I agree with pretty much all of your picks, there's another 80s Barbie I really like but I can't think of which one she is. She came with a black dress with a white jacket. The 80s were just so glamorous, perfect for Barbie!
Nice. Thank u!
I never had astronaut Barbie growing up but now that I have loose versions I really like the makeup on her
Love the 80's music and Barbies. Had many of those dolls before the unfortunate incident.
Awesome video! "Cool Times" Barbies were crazy! But I remember they are so of their time. They scream the 80s! ❤
Thanks! Love that gang. Super cool group 🔥❤️❤️
Omg I lost my mind when I saw that you have the Astro fashions! Those are so hard to find………at a decent price. Love your videos
Thank you so much!!
I’m a Texan Okie as well. And your accent is legit. 😂
No one dressed like that in Livonia, Michigan where i grew up
Newer i have from the 90's to now
Western, Great Shape & Day to Night are my faves too!
my 80s childhood thank you
You have the coolest Barbie collection!
I love your collection! All rockers are amazing ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you so much!!
@@Thedollswitness amazing collection and amazing video ♥️
Lol Barbie and the rockers was my very favorite as a little girl but also peaches and cream and the one that had red hearts on it loving you barbie had so many but those were my favorites wish i saved all my 80s stuff
Always Peaches n Cream and Barbie & the Rockers.
Astronaut Barbie and her outfits sooooo cool and the African American one is stunning
I loved Pretty in Pink, Loving You, and Crystal Barbie. Also, Dream Magic Barbie ❤
Nice!!🔥❤️
Rhett Rhett what ever shall i do where ever shall i buy them lol
Id be remiss if I forgot to mention "Crystal" Barbie. She was absolutely stunning!! I do have to say though that "My First Barbie" in the yellow and blue mix and match outfit is probably my favorite Barbie of all time.....
Nice pick! ❤️
Great shape is also a fabulous one🫡
Another awesome instalment!! the accent was the highlight and then the transition back 😂🫠
Haha thank u!❤️
love this vid and the Divine T shirt !
*
My Western Barbie is cool no messed up eyes works perfect no drunk stare lol
No hat no boots
Nostalgia
Love him soooooo much
Love the Divine T-shirt 💗
I don't have good internet now, but I'm watching this as soon as I get home!
LOL at the accent! I'm from Memphis, but my dad was from up north, and we watched a lot of PBS, so I managed to not sound southern until after I lived in Knoxville a few years. I was sitting here thinking, "wow, that's the first not-goshawful southern accent I've heard," so of course it wasn't southern lol.
So glad you explained the reasoning behind Astronaut Barbie not looking like a real astronaut. It always bothered me that it was so pink and girly, but now, understanding it was because kids were scared, makes sense.
The Barbie's from 1980 up to 1986 are my personal favorite Barbie era's, they radiated a certain elegance as if they came straight out of a Soap opera series, I myself used to get "Great Shape Barbie" from my grandparents for my birthday, unfortunately I lost my Barbie's when I stopped playing with them, but now I have started collecting Barbie's from the 80's all over again, But i;m really some other great Barbie;s from the 80's in your collection that a sure one of my favorite like, "Pink And Pretty" - "Fabulous Furr" and "Angel Face" Barbie. 😊😉
Nice! Those are some great ones! And damn I love great shape 🔥🔥❤️❤️
@@Thedollswitness Thanks, they are great and pretty indeed, and yes Great Shape Barbie is indeed a beautiful doll and i hope to find Great Shape Barbie someday again for my collection she's my childhood Barbie that i loved very much as a kid. 😉❤❤🔥🔥
70's i have , 90's i have ,
Wow! I never knew there were Astro Fashions! Great video!
Thank you! They’re crazy good, right? 🔥🔥❤️❤️
I have to check my doll
You have any Rockers fashion packs? I have some loose fashions, I think they're great. I also had All Stars Christie and Teresa as a kid and still do. They're in excellent shape. My husband got me the Barbie and Midge inbox for Christmas. Two of my favorite 80s barbies that I got from Santa as a kid are Dance magic and Garden Party ❤. Classic beauties !
You and I have very similar taste. Astronaut Barbie is just amazing, both 80 and 60S
So good! Love her💗💗
I love the rockers as well! I have them and their fashions mib. The other group I love was the sensations !have them as well. We gotta give love to Whitney as well! Who doesn't love a Steffie \pj face mold??!!!
I only had one Barbie when I was a kid and that was Barbie Rock Star (Europe edition) But the one I was so jealous some other girls had was Dream glow. So that was one of the first I got when I started collecting.
Dream glow was pretty wild! Like a sparkly Cinderella look, almost ❤️
Living for your Divine tshirt ❤️
Western Barbie 😂😂😂😂😂👍🥃🥃🥃🥴🤪 I am from Germany and I have both. I love my „pretty little“ girl, US Western Barbie. Barbie is not always perfect. 😌🥰 Thank you for your content. Love to watch!
Hi i found my Free Moving Barbie yeah in my old Barbie doll pink case yesterday I have this doll since i was a little girl
Oh gee there’s even more Barbie & The Rockers props. I have the green room beauty vanity. Dee Dee also has other outfits.
Right? And the tour bus. So many great accessories in that line! 🙌🏻😍
Excellent Barbie video. I just came across your channel. I follow you on Instagram. You do such an awesome review on all your dolls. I love this 80s video especially there’s some dolls in here that I didn’t have in my collection. Thanks for sharing. 😊👏
Awesome! Thanks so much!!!!❤️
magic moves barbie is one of my favorite barbies ever because of how luxurious & magical the cxommercial is genuinely one of the best piece of advertisement ever . . . i really adored the astronaut barbie section finding out about the astro fashions might actually change my life forever & I'm writing it here as a memoir entry . . . also hehe I've had this project since i starting watching jem in the summer but i am so excited to customize each barbie & the rockers member into a jem & the holograms character since i realized there is a one to one with everyone & i can just use another barbie for kimber since she & jem are biological sisters turning dana into aja excites me so much because i love how much the sculpt already resembles her so much hehe
Oh awesome! Very fun project ❤️❤️
Awesome shirt!! I'm a huge John Waters fan myself.
Thanks so much 💖 I love you💖 I really do💖 but you missed Midnight 🥰 the horse 😘
Yeah I realized that later. Just enjoyed saying ‘honey’ so much…
I didn't know she All Stars Barbie existed
Cool
I like astronaut barbie and fashion packs… ❤
Barbie and the Rockers were over the top! I owned some of that line, but I didn't get into it as much as I should of due to Jem. Now I regret it, because they had some awesome fashions! I find them calling to me from E-Bay.... lol!
I think my favs are Peaches and Cream, Crystal Barbie and Dream Glow Barbie.
My fav 80s is Garden Party Barbie🙌
Solid choice!❤️❤️
You totally missed an opportunity to dress like the Cowboy from the Village People during your Western Barbie monologue! I actually think "Diva" from Barbie and the Rockers was just Midge trying to be cool. One of my favorite Barbies from the 80's was "Parisian" Barbie. I loved the dress she came in and thought she had a really pretty face. I just cant get enough of you......
I really should’ve worn a cowboy hat, you’re right. lol ah well, thank you!!❤️❤️
Haha! Midge said she's going to be Diva if she's gonna be in a band 😅
I got the outfit for the working out Barbie doll i got it at a yard sale last summer for free with a Fashionista doll and other outfits for free
I love your shirt!!
Skipper is cute
Great shape is my only 80s doll in my collection 😂
I enjoy your videos. ❤
Thank you!
I love your passion! it’s almost as big as mine! 😮😂❤
All star was probably one of my first barbies 😏 i had alot though from the late 80-93 then idkwhat happened i couldnt do barbie much besides the kelly and chelsea dolls lol
Golden Dream Barbie--that wire in her hair didn't hold up well. It got so tangled! But I loved the clothes.
Also had the Dream Date Barbie in pink/purple.
I'd say I remembered most of these, at least the ones from the 1st half of the 80s.
Nice. Golden dream christie is probably my favorite from the 80s, but I wanted to save the disco dolls for later. 🪩❤️
LOVE IT !!!!!!!
No belt no leg warmers
Whitney is my favorite!!
In the 80's i partied drank wine i graduated in 83
Uncomfortable with the way you’re speaking?!?! Omg I love it 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yay! Thank you! Lol
Detroit Zoo is awesome here in Michigan
Love your video...
My favorites; Jewel Secrets Whitney, peaches n cream.
Nice picks!!🙌🏻
@@Thedollswitness thanks Whitney was a dreambarbie. The only other 80s dream barbie for me is dreamglow.
BARBIE SUPERSTAR 88 BEAUTIFUL
Omg I want them all ❤
i love how you morphed into a weird Southern accent when describing Western Barbie.....also I see you, Devine!!!!
I always wondered why couldn’t Barbie wear her diamond earrings on space… I had to do pierce her ears myself.
I guessed right
The lazy eye winking is just part of the charm. She should have came with a pack of cigarettes. Anyway I love her and that’s all I gotta say.
Ps. I just love your humor ❤
I have a Dallas looking horse he has bend in the legs and hoofs black Barbie is pretty
I love your collection of dolls. Can you tell me about the Retro Charisse by Milelman dolls, Candi couture dolls? Thanks
I was wanted to get her. But as an adult I have one and I also have a reproduction. The Peach and white dress was a nice change. instead of the pink many other Barbies dresses. Even though I love pink, peach was a nice change.
Love peaches and cream. Easy to see why she was so popular. All that chiffon 😍🔥🔥
@@Thedollswitness yes definitely! The frilly that definitely makes the dress and I love the bodies. I have noticed that only a few dolls had a bodice like that and I just think it just adds to the 1980s and just really also makes the dress pop.!
And I also love it that y’all are guys, and y’all are so passionate about Barbies and all about the details and everything. It’s awesome. And it makes me love my dogs even more to see somebody so passionate about theirs and wanna share their love and their hobby with everybody else that everybody can talk about their Barbies and what not.my family thinks I’m nuts, but I’m glad that there are so many people out there like y’all that just love Barbies and just can’t get enough of them❤
I have Camping Fun Barbie., Midge , Skipper
