Fantastic presentation! All of them are really cute. The fun part to me was to see all the MOD fashions. I think if I had to say the 1967 Francie would be my favorite, but I love them all!😊
Francie really was a very well dressed doll, blazing the trail for Barbie to join the Mod era.kind of like a precursor to the modern day line where there are different sized body molds. Great and informative video as usual, thank you 😊
Thanks so much! Yeah it was a bold move to use a different body size and create all those separate outfits but I’m glad they did! Definitely added a little variety to the world of Barbie. 🔥🔥
Your show is groovy MAN!!! It truly is fun! I do agree that Francie's fashions esp. Mod are the most inventive! I also came across the original doll, straight legs, no eyelashes, and sandy blonde hair! However cut! Whaah! I shall try rerooting. I do agree that the "BLACK FRANCIE'S" the bomb, and like Stacey, super hard to find & $$$$$$!!! Thanks for the Show!!!❤🎉🎉🎉
I clicked on this video so fast! I absolutely love Francie! I only have one, which is the original blonde haired version.Who I got for Christmas back in 2019. She's so cute, I love that she's younger than Barbie, but just as fashionable and fun! I was fifteen when I got her so I felt like I could relate to her the most.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your marvelous collection. I love Francie as a child I had Truly Scrumptious who was my absolute favorite doll of all times. Later I had a Growing Pretty Hair Francie. Francie is now my favorite member of the Barbie family.
I have 3 sisters but, of the four of us, I was the only Barbie fanatic. Still am! However Francie is absolutely my favorite! A few years ago I acquired ( my multi family members & understanding husband, birthday present 💗) an AMAZINGLY beautiful, 2nd issue Black Francie. One leg is lame & she has a bit of green ear that, between her beautiful dark skin and her amazing long, thick hair, is hardly noticeable.Those small flaws enabled me to become the overwhelmed owner of, easily, one of THEE most beautiful versions of this "holy grail" of the Barbie world. I've had her for 5 years and still get thrilled every time I lay eyes on her!!! I'm enjoying your enthusiasm for my beloved Barbie family that I have been IN LOVE with since I was 2 years old and got my hands on, Christmas morning, my sister's brand new blonde bubble cut. ( It's a moment captured in photo, thank goodness 🙂.) At 63, my enthusiasm has remained intact and even more so because of all the learned history and the sharing of fellow admirers like yourself. 👍🏼🌸😁
Hello - Isn't she perennially fascinating. Got the very first one and both main Repros. Ordered Joe's book. Expensive, but shows all the outfits, including the rare, HTF ones. He personally inscribed it for me. A treasure in itself. We will never tire of her. Thank you.
When you pulled out the straight legged Francie, in that blue number…my jaw dropped! I would kill for half your collection! I’ve priced mod outfits…lol…they go for more than the damned dolls! Your collection is amazing. I would pay money to trot through your place just looking! My fave Francie is short flip. I’ve got her in brunette, which is my preference for all dolls. Amazing upload, as always.
Beautiful dolls! Thanks for throwing that first commercial in! It was fun hearing all the fashion jargon and slang from that era: granny gowns?! lol Love it!
Loved this video 🥰 Francie deserved this video to be made. Such beautiful examples of her 😍 I would love for you to show off more of her wardrobe one of these days too!!
I am at BarbieCon & I got a second issue Back Francie today ! I love your content , I learned a few things I didn't know . thnx for another awesome video ! Matt Sky
A great episode. I own many reproduction Francie dolls and only one original Malibu Francie with her original swimsuit that I just happened to find in the wild. I actually like her the best because she uses the Casey face sculpt.
My favorites. First of the Barbie line dolls I owned. Got her the year she came out. I loved her softer face. More realistic to me. I have 2 still. I was born in 1959.
We bought Francie Growing Pretty Hair when she came out. Lots of beautiful mod outfits. I display her in a Carnaby Street decor sitting on a scooter. I wish I had a few more.
Gorgeous dolls! I love the Mod outfits best of any Barbie clothes. I'm lucky enough to own a Silkstone Francie (Check Please!) who is adorable, but I really want a vintage one. Owning Black Francie is just a fantasy at this point, but short flip Francie is my next favourite.
What a great collection of Francie dolls. I had Busy Francie when I was younger and still have Malibu Francie. You always give us amazing information on the dolls in your collection. I really enjoy all your video's. Please do a video on Ken from the 70's. Mod Ken. Can you do a video on scooter and friends. Thanks for sharing and keep on collection.
Loved your video. I adore Francie, she's my favourite Mattel doll. I'd love you to do a video on the foreign issues, like the German, and Japanese dolls too if possible. Francie was massive in Japan, as you know .
That’s a great idea! Usually I like to film the dolls in person up close, but I don’t have many foreign releases. Might have to make an exception for that video. ❤️❤️
Hello! Loved your video, your research is very thorough. My only Francie as a child was the Growing Pretty Hair Francie, and I loved her. I got five dollars as a birthday present for my grandparents ( a lot of money for 7 year old in 1971!) and I remember going to the store and buying this beautiful doll! I remember loving her pink dress and being able to style her hair. Sure wish I had her now!
Hey there! I really liked your presentation and your video. I'm a big Francie fan myself and I have all of the versions you showed except for Hair Happening and the brunette Baggie Francie. I love collecting her original outfits and accessories. My favorite is Black Francie. I'm actually bringing a reproduction Black Francie that I had redone with oxidized red hair to BarbiCon this year.
Incredible how this managed to captivate my attention, despite my lack of interest in both dolls and collecting in general, and calm me down like no other content I typically watch for comfort is able to. I find this video fascinating for some reason 👏🏻
Hello! You’ve really inspired me lately with my interest in dolls. I didn’t even know how cool vintage Barbie is. Yesterday, I received my first vintage Barbie, and I’ve definitely caught the bugs I want more! Thank you. ❤
Great video! Francie is def one of the prettiest dolls ever. I’m still sort of sh•••ing myself after the find of a lifetime 3 weeks ago. I was stressed and fighting with my insurance company over some typo that caused major issues and decided to pop in to the thrift store around the corner afterwards to distract myself and found a Black Francie doll there. They had her marked as “vintage Christie,” so they apparently tried to do some research, but settled for the first thing they found, and priced her at 70 bucks. So it wasn’t a crazy thrift store deal, but still nothing for a doll I never expected to even see in real life. I haven’t cleaned her up yet. I’m honestly still sort of in disbelief and processing it.
LOVE the video -Thank you! I have repros of Black Francie, Blonde & Brunette Francie. I have Baggy Francie & Casey. I would love to have a Malibu Francie, I'm surprised some people don't like her! I would love it if Mattel would make repros of Growin' Pretty Hair, Quick Curl & Malibu Francies.
Loved this video on the very cute and adorable Francie doll, infact all your Barbie videos are FANTASTIC!!! Cole is correct on the history of Twiggy that definitely influenced both the Francie doll and the Casey friend. BUT please note I believe the Francie doll was also inspired by Sally Field playing the quirky 15 year old teen scene maker at the time GIDGET ( 1965--66). Her character's ( Gidget) real name was Francie Lawrence and she definitely was a hip kiddie!!! Please continue to make Mod ( Barbie) doll videos because you guys ROCK!!! ALL MY BEST...johnny 🌠 🎶🎶🎶🎶✨☀️✨🌹🌿🌈💜☮️✨
I have always love Francie and is lucky to own a black Francie near mint❤short flip Francie in brunette is my childhood doll❤hair happenings and gqrown pretty hair Francie is both my childhood dolls❤and I am lucky to have German busy hand Francie since childhood ❤
Francie is super cute & I do think many of her fashions were even better than Barbie's. So far, I've got BL blond & brunette, flip hair blonde, Baggie Francie (so lucky to find her w her original suit & in great condition), Malibu Francie, Growing Pretty Hair Francie, & Hair Happenings Francie. I have the repros for Black Francie & No Bangs (blonde Kitty Corner). I've also gotten a brunette Casey & a great Twiggy. I even took a thrifted BL Francie (paid only $35 since she was pale & missing lashes, but body is perfect so it felt like a steal) and had a doll artist fix her up as a custom Titian styled to be Nancy Drew (the artist calls her "Nancie Drew")... I got her the cutest little magnifying glass so she can hunt clues. ;) Oh. Also was lucky to find a Francie case in good condition. I have a friend who has at least 300 Francie dolls, lol. He REALLY thinks she's cute. ;) I had no idea that Truly Scrumptious used Francie head mold! Cool!
Oh nice! Francie as Nancy Drew sounds adorable. 😍 and damn. 300 Francies sounds excessive in all the right ways. lol must look amazing all lined up. 🙌🏻🔥🔥
I was never a fan of Francie. I only have 2 in my collection, growing pretty hair and Malibu. I don’t like Malibu’s face either. Francie has some cool fashions though. Great video as always! ❤
I think it should be noted there are a couple Japanese exclusive Francie dolls. Two paint variations of the bend-leg doll, and a Malibu Francie using the original sculpt.
Remember when PJ was called Barbies cousin only once on the back of the Dream Date box and never introduced as such in any other form again before or after lmao
Oh, give me all of the Francie I just love her and I only got one the most recent reproduction, but it’s a beautiful black francie so better than nothing I just wish I have more and I desperately want a Casey
I find Francie's clothing style to be TOO bold and avant-garde for my taste. However, I must admit that I appreciated the pink outfits she sported as they brought back nostalgic memories of the fashionable 90s Barbie doll clothes I grew up playing with in the 2000s.
That’s an old sailor tattoo that deckhands would usually have, believing it would give them a solid grip on the ship’s rigging. The meaning has expanded to a lot things today. 👍🏻
Hi I am not a Barbie collector. A 94-year-old woman passed away right down the road from where I live and her family had an estate sale and had hundreds of Barbies there that she has collected her entire life all still in the box never been opened and in excellent condition they were inboxes close up from the 60s 70s 80s and 90s and I bought like 30 of the oldest ones. I looked them up and most of them are pretty pricey. I don’t know what I should do with these I thought about selling them on eBay one by one but I would rather sell them all together. I even have several Sonny and Cher dolls with clothes still in the package do you have any suggestions?
Well selling them one by one should definitely get you more cash in the end. Finding an auction house near you or online is another option. Unfortunately selling them all together means finding a buyer willing to drop a huge amount of money, which can take a lot of time. You could sell on eBay divided in multiple lots too. Like most things, selling off quickly usually means sacrificing some profit. Best of luck!!
Love Francie! Are you sure there wasn't any brunette hair happenin Francies? Because... I think I might have one, unless she was just chopped by a previous owner XD
@Thedollswitness Not necessarily. My two early 70s Skippers, PJ, and Margo Flip don't have the discoloration. The Margo Flip is the only one I got recently. I stored the rest in my closet when I stopped collecting.
It`s incredible how colorful the doll fashion was in the late 60s.
Right? So much fun 🙌🏻😍
It reflected the optimism of the times, nobody wore black or sportswear back then. It was all bright and sunny.
Francie is the GREATEST Barbie doll ever! I have at least one of each!
Fantastic presentation! All of them are really cute. The fun part to me was to see all the MOD fashions. I think if I had to say the 1967 Francie would be my favorite, but I love them all!😊
Thank you! Yeah I first started getting a lot of Francies because I needed those outfits. Too many great ones!🙌🏻😍
Francie really was a very well dressed doll, blazing the trail for Barbie to join the Mod era.kind of like a precursor to the modern day line where there are different sized body molds. Great and informative video as usual, thank you 😊
Thanks so much! Yeah it was a bold move to use a different body size and create all those separate outfits but I’m glad they did! Definitely added a little variety to the world of Barbie. 🔥🔥
Your show is groovy MAN!!! It truly is fun! I do agree that Francie's fashions esp. Mod are the most inventive! I also came across the original doll, straight legs, no eyelashes, and sandy blonde hair! However cut! Whaah! I shall try rerooting. I do agree that the "BLACK FRANCIE'S" the bomb, and like Stacey, super hard to find & $$$$$$!!! Thanks for the Show!!!❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Glad you have some for your collection! Yeah black Francie is definitely my favorite but so damn $$$. Thankfully they made repros too ❤️
I've always loved francie.. definitely my favorite barbie character !

Your brother Cole add a lot to your videos. Keep up the great work you put into your videos. Been a fan of Barbie since 1959.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed❤️
Wonderful lesson on Francie! And the knowledge you two have is amazing. Looking forward to what you are up to next 🙃
Thank you so much! You’re the best! Really appreciate it❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sending a big hug from Bloomingdale Illinois. Hello from your future bestie Victoria 🤍🩵🩷
Francie is a really groovy chick!
The grooviest!❤️❤️
Beautiful dolls! Thanks for throwing that first commercial in! It was fun hearing all the fashion jargon and slang from that era: granny gowns?! lol Love it!
thank you! Funny to think of ‘granny gowns’ as an appealing term for today’s youth lol❤️❤️
Loved this video 🥰 Francie deserved this video to be made. Such beautiful examples of her 😍 I would love for you to show off more of her wardrobe one of these days too!!
Thank you! Yeah she got the best outfits ever 😍
That's a cute little doll, but never heard of the Francie doll and again must of stopped making them in 1976 the year I was born.
Yeah they stopped in 76. A great mod doll 🙌🏻🔥🔥
Another amazing video and such a complete collection. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Francie's my favorite, next to Barbie.❤

Very informative. Thank you, boys.

I’ve never been so early to one of these lol. Thanks for another great video!
Haha morning! My pleasure ❤️❤️
Love Francie! The Japanese exclusive with the blue eye thing is also absurdly expensive, but I still really want one!
Ugh right? All those Japanese exclusive dolls and outfits are so absurdly pricey, but there are a few I’d love to have. 😍🔥🔥
Never knew much about Francie. Thank you for sharing this!
My pleasure! ❤️❤️

Wow… I love Francie. Would you consider doing a video including all the dolls and all the fashions? I would love to see that.
Noted! I love going over her fashions ❤️

Thanks!
I love Baggie Francie. Even with her unbendable legs/waist I love the long hair. Second would be Growin Pretty Hair. She is so girly and pretty.
Great ones! Yeah the baggie Francie is so pretty and the straight legs are definitely easier to dress 🔥❤️❤️
Omg the AA Francie is so hard to find. I was able to find the repro that came out in the 90’s at an estate sale for a cheap price.
Nice! Yeah the vintage ones are out there but so insanely pricey. ❤️❤️
Francie is super cute & I do think many of her fashions were even better than Barbie's. So far, I've got BL blond & brunette, flip hair blonde, Baggie Francie (so lucky to find her w her original suit & in great condition), Malibu Francie, Growing Pretty Hair Francie, & Hair Happenings Francie. I have the repros for Black Francie & No Bangs (blonde Kitty Corner). I've also gotten a brunette Casey & a great Twiggy.

Hi to you and your brother I love Francie
Hey there! She’s amazing 🔥🔥❤️
I wish I was allowed to collect dolls in that era.
Yeah being denied Barbie as a kid is painful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think it should be noted there are a couple Japanese exclusive Francie dolls. Two paint variations of the bend-leg doll, and a Malibu Francie using the original sculpt.
For sure! Also a German exclusive Francie with a new sculpt. Looks like a 9 year old. lol
thank you i was confused by the fact her legs didnt bend so thats normal
love the history but only as you are most handsome twins on UA-cam thanks for history
Aw thank you!❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤❤
Remember when PJ was called Barbies cousin only once on the back of the Dream Date box and never introduced as such in any other form again before or after lmao
Haha I do! I don’t know what that was about lol❤️
Oh, give me all of the Francie I just love her and I only got one the most recent reproduction, but it’s a beautiful black francie so better than nothing I just wish I have more and I desperately want a Casey

I have the marlo flip Francie doll with straight legs
Just wondering………what does the “hold fast” on your fingers stand for??
That’s an old sailor tattoo that deckhands would usually have, believing it would give them a solid grip on the ship’s rigging. The meaning has expanded to a lot things today. 👍🏻

@@Thedollswitness I appreciate the advice.
Fun fact: one of my mothers mod Francie dolls was my lesbian awakening
lol love it🔥❤️❤️
Love Francie! Are you sure there wasn't any brunette hair happenin Francies? Because... I think I might have one, unless she was just chopped by a previous owner XD
I’m pretty positive it was only blonde. A brunette would be cute, haircut or not. 🙌🏻❤️
Well HELLOOOOOO young man
👋🏼 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼❤️
🤗🖤♥️😍🧜🏻♀️🔥🇱🇨🇬🇧🇯🇲😍
Was there ever a red head, titian Francie? I have some but wonder if they’re oxidized brunettes
There weren’t any redheads I can think of except for the first black Francie. Casey definitely tends to oxidize pretty often though. 🤔
@@Thedollswitness Right! I have the Casey as a "red head" not the Francie.
I got a Francie but like alot of my mod dolls the face changed color over time. I didn't buy her that way.
Yeah especially the early 70s ones tend to yellow over time. It’s a shame. I bet she’s still pretty ❤️❤️
@Thedollswitness Not necessarily. My two early 70s Skippers, PJ, and Margo Flip don't have the discoloration. The Margo Flip is the only one I got recently. I stored the rest in my closet when I stopped collecting.
