    Talking busy Steffi, slowly spinning with that vacant mod expression, looking like she just dropped a tab. I live.

    Nice to see a guy who is into Barbies. My husband thinks they are "cool" too, and the only reason he knows about Vintage Barbies is because of ME! So now, he likes to go into my Doll Room to look at my displays. And sometime he comes w/ me to Doll Shows too, so he's learning about Vintage Barbies through me. I think it's great!

      I know right? Even my husband, who is not a Barbie collector (but he married one) thinks those MOD Vintage dolls are so amazing. He said that they remind him of the pretty girls he used to see in their GROOVY outfits back in the 1970s!@@Thedollswitness

    I am one of those "weird" Barbie collectors. I love vintage Barbie reproductions. But I do not care for vintage Barbie. That preference has saved me tons of cash.

    Watching your videos in order is particularly satisfying, as I’ve started collecting only recently and this is such a fun way to explore the whole world of Barbie! I’ve saved a lot of $ for this, and it’s so difficult not to run out and buy every doll I see. So I had to put the brakes on until I learned at least the basics, and got an idea of what decades I love, and what collections from those decades! Some of these expensive dolls are tempting, but I think I’ll stick with my fave 80s and 90s collections for now.

    Excellent video - looking forward to seeing more!
    Out of interest, how do you think some of the elusive overseas exclusives rank on this list e.g. Eli (sun sun and living), Japanese Skipper/Francie/MIDGE, Sun sun Malibu Francie, German Francie, Hawaiian Superstar Barbie? And how about Sidepart American Girl? Could be a topic for another video! 😊

    • @Thedollswitness
      @Thedollswitness  10 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks! Yeah those overseas picks are such wildcards and so dependent on location that it’s really hard to say, but sidepart American girls, bubblecuts, etc are definitely easier to price. I really wanted to focus more on a variety of dolls here, as opposed to variations of more common dolls, but it’s a great idea for another vid! ❤️

    This entire video is something of a flex.
    Not only do you own these rare dolls, but they are complete and in perfect condition!
    i had to create my own Yellowstone Kelley. i bought a Quick Curl Kelley doll and had it rerooted with floor-length red hair. i was going to cut it, but the long hair makes her stand out.
    i've been chasing that doll for about 5 years, but i refuse to pay those prices.

    • @Thedollswitness
      @Thedollswitness  10 месяцев назад +4

    I saw a wonderful Barbie doll in that video. Her name is Color Magic Barbie and you say she`s from 1966. Okay. I changed to ebay and found her. Guess how much she is? 1400 bucks! Can you believe that? That`s insane. And I found another one, also with that yellow hair for 2100 dollars. What a high price! But the doll is abolutley gorgeous.

    This was great ... I have almost all of these gals!!!! (Just missing Yellowstone Kelley, and TBH I wouldn't wanna pay a lot for her as she just doesn't do it for me! LOL) I also have the vintage versions of No-Bangs Francie- both blonde and brunette, but the sellers didn't know who they were, so I got both for about $350!! ... though it took years of searching as I also refused to pay a fortune for her... I also have all four of the Caras too, and I LOVE her! Your black Francie is stunning! 😍

  • @Siansonea
    @Siansonea 10 месяцев назад +4

    I have a *1970 Walking Jamie,* with titian hair. She's cute. I would like to have a blonde and brunette, but I'm not willing to pay eBay prices for her.
    I have a couple of *1966 Color Magic Barbie* dolls. I have a Golden Blonde with low color face paint, and I have changed her hair to Scarlet Flame before, and even wet-set it into a flip. It actually styles really well if you treat it nicely. I also have a high color that is rerooted in black. She's a real showstopper. Obviously it doesn't have a color change feature.
    I have a couple of *1964 Miss Barbie* dolls. I always thought she was a bit not-beautiful. I think she's a great doll to wear outfits like Ski Queen. I have never heard of Fashion Queen heads being damaged by the wigs, I don't see how that could happen.
    I also have a couple of *1974 Yellowstone Kelley* dolls. I have one that is flat-out mint, with the wrist tag. Her joints are frozen, and I haven't bothered trying to move them or repose her. I have another one with a repaired body.
    I don't have *1972 Talking Busy Steffie.* I have a few *1972 Talking Busy Barbies,* two on the original body, and one on a Quick Curl body wearing Picture Me Pretty. I also have *1972 Talking Busy Ken.*
    I don't have *1972 Montgomery Ward's Anniversary Barbie.* I've never found her in the wild.
    I have quite a few longhair TNTs, but none in the redhead/titian color. I think the titians are oxidized Go-Go Coco.
    I have a couple of *1971 Live Action Christie* dolls. None in the original outfit though. I have one in Glowin' Gold, and another in Super Scarf.
    I have a couple of *1972 Busy Steffies,* and the head for a *1972 Busy Francie.* I have gotten really good at repairing Busy and Talking Busy dolls. I even 3D printed new arm pegs for them at one point. I also have *1972 Busy Barbie* dolls and *1972 Busy Ken* dolls, a few of each.
    I've never had a *1971 No Bangs Francie,* but I do have the Smashin' Satin repro. I don't like her that much. I also think No Bangs Francie is kind of overrated. She's got that yellow face issue that the 1971 Japan dolls often suffer from.
    I have a couple of *1975 Quick Curl Cara* and a *1976 Deluxe Quick Curl Cara.* I also have *1976 Ballerina Cara.* The only Cara doll I don't have is *1976 Free Moving Cara,* but I do have *1976 Free Moving Curtis,* who is even more rare than Cara.
    I have repro *1967 Black Francie* dolls, and part of the original. I have her body, but not her head. Someday I'll complete her.
    I think that you should add *1972 Barbie With Growin' Pretty Hair* and *1971 Hair Happenin's Barbie* to this list, as both are quite rare. I don't have either of them, but I have the box, dress, and accessories for Growin' Pretty Hair Barbie. You should also talk about Sidepart AGs, LHAGs, etc.

      Wow, sounds like you’ve got a great collection. Yeah, sometimes I forget how hard to find growin pretty barbie especially is. I’ve had them for so long I sometimes forget. I’d have to agree about no bangs Francie being overrated too. Just not worth the price at all.

I don’t dare try it on my one doll or her outfits!
