Congratulations - lots of beautiful surprises there. Ballerina Cara and Barbie are my favourite vintage Mattel dolls, next to Quick Curl Barbie, Francie and Kelley. I believe Cara outshined Barbie in her pink tutu. I managed to purchase on still in box - what a pleasure for the eyes.
The wooden clogs are the traditional Dutch shoe all working people wore them with their traditional outfits, fishermen, farmers, housewives... They're still worn nowadays for gardening and as safety shoes on factory environments The dime store doll is so beautiful and MOD she reminds me of the Mexican child actress Evita Muñiz The shoes are all vintage and MOD moulds, some are clone but are still the perfect touch to finish a mod or vintage outfit, the hangers are the kind that came with vintage and MOD Barbie fashions when new in package, they display beautifully on a rack with vintage fashions. I am so glad you liked everything as it was sent with love ! Thanks for the trade Manny!!!!
Oh yes, someone mentioned the dresses were euro releases, so maybe that's why I didn't recognize them. Thank you Gabe, you new exactly what I would like!
I really like your channel, Manny! Your videos are so relaxing to watch & I love your style. You inspired me to add a Malibu PJ doll to my collection, so thank you! 💖
The blue eyebrows are crazy, but it really works somehow. i enjoy clone doll, too, but mainly for the fashions. i find clone doll clothing to be so charming. Especially Maddie Mod. Playing with Maddie Mod clothes, to me, is like time travel. i get the same sensation with Barbie clothes, but interacting with Maddie Mod fashions feels as if i shopped at an actual boutique in the early seventies and bought the clothes. And they go so well with other vintage fashions.
I had no idea about the vintage Standard body still being in use during the Malibu era, that's kind of crazy to me. Always assumed even the budget dolls were TnT then. Always learning new things about dolls. 😄
The Steffie faded face can be fixed. There’s a trick that people use to recolor mod dolls. Most people use the brand ‘copic’ for markers and just recolor wherever it’s needed. I do know you can use other brands of markers as well. The thing I don’t know is which shades people use.
Ahh, yes I have tried this with my Growin Pretty Hair Francie. Though she wasn't as yellow as this Steffie is. I saw a video of heads being put in water and denture tablets. That seemed to undo some of the yellowing, so maybe I can try that before applying the copic marker. When it comes to copic markers, I have the most success with RV21 Light Pink to match the color of the body.
Yes I have a few Steffi and that dress is nice. Are you sure thats her body? LOL i only have the head for the ballerina Barbie that I believe it was a special from mervyns.
Awesome score! So nice of Gabe to send you all of those lovely things. The wooden shoes are so and cute and unique!

I would love to find a Quick Curl Barbie. She is so pretty!
Cara's dress is actually a Mattel made one is from a basic my first Barbie!
The one on the Standard as well!!!

I need to keep my eyes out for some Maddie Mod clothes now that I have many more mod dolls in my collection.
@@somelikeitvntg i think you're in luck, because you live on the west coast.
There seems to be an abundance of vintage doll stuff over there.

The more you know 🌈
The cardigan is adorable!

@@somelikeitvntg Oh, cool good to know! I didn’t know about the denture tablet trick. Thanks for the info! 😁
No problem! Maybe I will do a video on this.
@@somelikeitvntg I would enjoy that!
Great trade! The wooden shoes are amazing and as a "modern" Steffi Love fan loved seeing the Steffi Standard. Wonder if it's her ancestor?
Awesome trades you got. Be very careful with Cara’s arms they tend to break
Thank you! Yes, her body definitely feels fragile.
That cardigan reminds me of candy corn 😄
I thought this too when I watched the video over!
Me encanta la B canadiense, yo la tengo con reerroting de cabello que yo mismo hice.
Que tipo pelo usaste para el re-root?
@@somelikeitvntg Idéntico al original. Espero pronto abrir mi Instagram, todavía no sé mucho, he he.
@@somelikeitvntg El mismo color que el original. Espero pronto abrir mi IG.
💖💖💖💖
The clone doll is SO pretty, kinda reminds me of Licca-chan! The dress Cara is wearing is from a Chic Barbie from 2000/2001:)
Licca is a doll I would love to get into eventually! It feels like I will inevitably start adding her and Jenny to my collection
Love your ballerina Cara I am lucky to have 3 of her❤
La robe brillante de Cara ballerine est la robe de Barbie chic 2000/2001. Une Barbie avec les jambes raides et les hanches larges vendue en Europe.
Thank you for identifying this!
@@somelikeitvntg De rien ❤
That "Julia" skirt is turning it for me. Does that fashion pack have a year on it?
No date! But thinking maybe late 70s? or even early 80s?
Yes I have a few Steffi and that dress is nice. Are you sure thats her body? LOL i only have the head for the ballerina Barbie that I believe it was a special from mervyns.
Yes, it's her body. The face is just very yellow lol.
