Watched this one 3 times sooooo. good ! I have all the earlier PJs . After this content I am totally on the hunt for Dream Date PJ & Sweet Roses PJ... that amazing face up with the red lips .... so awesome ! Thanks again for my favorite channel on UA-cam ! Happy Barbie collecting !
Malibu PJ....She hits different . She is one of my Faves of all time. She is my fave from the Malibu Sunset group of dolls....even more than Malibu Barbie, which is crazy since Malibu Barbie is also one of my Fave Dolls ever.
@@Thedollswitness I LOVE Christie too! She's Divine! I guess, I love the 70's return to a natural, and less Glamorous feel, which embodies the look then, more fun in the sun vibes. I just Love Vintage Barbie. From the first ponytails straight through the 80's. 90's was rocky, and 2000's to present (Besides BFMC) and excluding repros is a hard pass. Not Feelin Barbie anymore regarding current day. Moved on to Integrity dolls FR, Poppy and NU Face, they have a better understanding of current trends and the reflection on Fashion dolls..
PJ is so pretty! Fashion Photo, Dream Date and Sweet Roses are my favorites. Sweet Roses was my favorite when I had her when I was little. She smelled so good. You are so lucky to have that Live Action Christie.
Lovely collection of PJ dolls you have! I had the original talking PJ and Stacy too! I kept PJ's dress all these years but sadly gave the dolls away at 13 yrs. Started collecting again the 90's, so of course I purchased the repro photo PJ and the 3 set repro malibu girls Barbie Christie and PJ. Wish Mattel would do 1 repro mod a year cause mod, hippie chick, and 60's babes are my fav's. The silkstone repro Skipper they did this year is like my original I had as a kid and the doll brings me joy!!!
Thank u! Love that Malibu trio reproduction. And that silkstone skipper! Bought a couple of her. Surprised it never sold out. More mod repros would be more than welcome! 😍🔥❤️❤️
I’m currently obsessed with Malibu Barbie, Malibu Christie, and any Francie but NOT Malibu Francie. I may have to scope out some PJs. I had some PJs as a little boy with the Steffie Sculpt. However, never had a doll with that original Midge. Thanks for another great video. I love the editing and appreciate that it’s not full of special effects and super fast. I like the conversational tone. I appreciate you.
I love sweet roses PJ my mother bought her for me when I was a child. I have one in box and just opened my second one. I still need Dream Date PJ. She’s harder to get in box and for a good price but I will get her hopefully one day. But I love all the PJs you have a wonderful collection xo 😘
Great vid 👏! The Steffie face is my favorite too 😍 I missed out on the repro 😔 I had Dream Date PJ & so that's my favorite one & I would love to get her again someday 😎 The roses one is my 2nd fave 👍 I really like the Malibu one too 🤓
Great recap of PJ! Midge and PJ are some of my favorite Barbie friends - especially in these eras. Absolute prime. ps: I just noticed your Barbie 1 tattoo on your right arm. Ugghh as if you weren’t already a 10/10 stud, you had to seal the deal with that badass art. 😍😵
I came across your Channel on my 4U page. I just am so pleased and amazed at your reviews. I honestly and respectfully love your content and reviews! Much much respect and love to you and your🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for sharing your collection boss👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
My first Barbie was a TNT PJ when I was 7. Somehow I managed to hang on to her- though she's been greatly loved, and I've seen collected a few more. I just love PJ- and am still puzzled why she was discontinued. Loved this episode!❤
❤❤❤ Dear Jack, thanks for this new amazing video. I love your storytelling ♥ PJ and I are the same age, but only few years ago I was able to get two of them: the Sunsational Malibu and the Sweet Roses. I'd love to find a Dream Date PJ but she is become too expensive through the years. And even the Barbie & Friends Barbie Ken PJ Giftset is too expensive nowdays. That set is so popular because we have the full Dream Date dolls line but with different outifit. ♥♥♥
PJ is a beautiful doll. I was lucky to have Quick Curl and Dream Date PJ as a kid. As a collector I always wanted Fashion Photo PJ but she was very rare and extremely expensive. Luckily I bought the reproduction last year.
@@Thedollswitness this is greedy but I bought two of the repros. One in package and one to take out. And Mattel, please please please do a repro of Sweet Roses PJ
LOVE PJ but I love any dolls with the Steffie face which is my favorite of all times. I do enjoy PJ with darker hair because it makes her stand out more from Barbie but Dream date PJ is also just gorgeous ;-)
Live Action PJ is the first Barbie I ever received as a little kid and I still have her! Love her! But I have to be honest my favorite of all time was the Malibu PJ I got next. 💙💙💙
Love live action P.J she is my favorite and have mine since childhood ❤have my Malibu P.J since childhood ❤ I have free moving P.J in box and out of box love her❤Quick curl P.J Ihave in box❤sweet roses P.J I have in box and love❤ love your video ❤❤❤😊
I love PJ. I have 23 Malibu PJs and I want the last two. So beautiful. Nurse Whitney is an another I love. Ps PJ is not a litterbug lol. Btw love your content.
As usual you really know your stuff! The Talking P.J. is one of my favorites but the limbs can detach quickly. I did buy the repro Fashion Photo because I thought it was really well done
Thank u! Love talking pj. And the fashion photo repro was an exciting release for sure. Can’t wait until they get us golden dream Christie next year 🔥🔥
I've adored your video, I love every single one of those dolls, even though I only have 2 of them. P.j Malibu and P.j Sweet Roses. I need you to make a video talking about your favorite Steffie mold Barbies Thank You from Spain!💖
Just wanna pop in and say I added to my PJ collection! I bought a MIB 1975/1976? Malibu PJ. She's in the pink box. The one's issued with the first Superstar Malibu Barbie I believe (not Sun Lovin', the one right before). I believe the Barbie had a red/orange swimsuit, but the PJ is still in her pink one.
Also, I just scored a Quick Curl and Free Moving PJ (with original pigtail ribbons) on eBay and I’m in love. I love the super surprised expression/eyebrows. 😂
@@Thedollswitness I bought that set on Ebay years ago for my daughter. Ken and Barbie are gone, but PJ is still hanging around. I agree though that they were lazily put together. I preferred them in the dream date outfits.
I have always been a big fan of P.J. dolls. As a child, my very first Barbie that wasn't a hand-me-down was actually a P.J. doll, so she has always been a special character in the lineup for me. As an adult collector I have all the P.J. dolls, and multiples of most of them. I don't think I have more than one example of 1976 Deluxe Quick Curl P.J., but I know I have at least two 1975 Free Moving P.J. dolls, six 1978 Fashion Photo P.J. dolls (plus one repro), four or five 1983 Dream Date P.J. dolls, five or six 1984 Sweet Roses P.J. dolls and innumerable Malibu P.J. dolls, including all the variants (including the late 1978 Philippines Malibu P.J.). My favorite Malibu variant is the very of-its-time 1979 Sun Lovin' Malibu P.J. doll. The tan lines, the purple bikini, the mirrored sunglasses, the pink bag, it's all so nostalgic for me. I also have a few 1969 New & Groovy Talking P.J. dolls, several 1970 P.J. With Twist 'N Turn Waist dolls, and a few 1971 Live Action P.J. dolls. One of my Talking P.J. dolls was originally sold in a plastic bag with a cardboard hanger tag, but I took her out because the bag was trashed. The doll itself is mint with her wrist tag, mute of course. I have repaired two of my Talking P.J. dolls to talk, though, and my favorite line she says is "wow, you're the grooviest!".
Wow! Sounds like you have an incredible collection! There really isn’t a bad pj. All of them are so adorable, so pretty. A shame she’s not around anymore. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
PJ to me was the reverse of Midge, She was the cooler than Barbie best friend . I have a reproduction PJ from the Trio gift pack , the vintage to reproduction isn't an issue. This was a great episode as usual.
I have a theory, I think Mattel discontinued PJ cause her name was too dated and they just re-named her as "Whitney"(very popular name in the 80's) or "Laura" in European version, I have this theory cause the very first Whitney/Laura doll like the Nurse or Jewel secret are very similar to the 80's PJ doll, I might be wrong but this is what I think- Anyway PJ is my ABSOLUTE favorite Barbie's friend (Midge is my second favorite) she's so gorgeous and groovy! I have all the dolls you showed in this video and I absolutely love them! I want to collect all the PJ ever made even doubles. P.S. Fun fact: there are also some Paper doll of PJ and some of them looks different from the actual plastic dolls like a Malibu PJ with RED HAIR in her classic pig tails.
PJ is so adorable in all eras. I especially like her in her mod and hippie looks. Did Barbie ever have the Stephie face mold or was it just for PJ? I have a vintage doll with that mold and I assumed she was Barbie but maybe she is PJ? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and beautiful dolls with us. 😃👍
Well Black Barbie used that sculpt, as well as some dolls of the world, the first Hispanic Barbie. A bunch of other characters have as well. Always a stunner ❤️
Happy I found your video! I also really love PJ and she is more stylish than Midge. Maybe PJ and Barbie had more in common and Midge and Barbie grew apart a bit. I believe Midge was more a country girl/home maker girl and Barbie wanted more of a city life and work and bla bla so they grew apart!
In my "headcanon", Barbie and Midge graduated from college in 1968, after which Barbie moved to California full time to further her modeling career, while Midge stayed in Willows, Wisconsin. In California, Barbie met Stacey, Christie and P.J. and they all became friends.
A MIB (orginal) Fashion Photo PJ is my second holy grail! But I'm not gonna pay like more then 500 for her so god I hope I find her at a convention or show for a decent price! 😅 The only PJ I have right now is Dream Date but I'd like Free Moving and Sweet Roses too. I got my MIB Dream Date for $124!
Nice! I hope you find the fashion photo! Such a great one. I think anything over 500 is a bit much too, but sellers know how crazy people go for that one. 😍🔥🔥
Hey there! I noticed that the Malibu PJ doll looks quite similar to the 80s Barbie in some cases. Also, I'm a bit confused about the name PJ and the weird brunette phase. AND MIDGE!!! Jeesh… poor Midge is kind of overlooked and not given much importance in the Barbie world 😭
Yeah I’m not sure why they didn’t just make up a name the letters stood for. And midge can definitely be a bit overlooked outside of early sixties collectors. The movie didn’t help that either lol❤️
Babies other friend at that time was Stacey and christie. I always thought pj stood for patricia Jane .haha. I love my Pj dolls more than barbie can't wait for the repro of golden dream christie
I have a loose fashion photo PJ that I found in a cheap lot, and I adore her. The only thing I'm confused about is how she does this weird movement when it comes to the combo between the neck, waist, and head. Is that normal? It probably is something silly that I should know, but it throws me off, lol. U have such a gorgeous collection! I have 2 malibus that I love, the fashion photo, dream date, and 2 sweet roses. All loose, of course, I'm poor, lol. Thanks for sharing! ✌️💜✌️💜
Haha thanks so much!! I think you’re talking about her posing mechanism. Sometimes it wears out over time and can act a little funny. Sounds like you have a beautiful collection!❤️❤️
@@Thedollswitness Honestly, the Fashion Photo mechanism has always been very strange, I had Fashion Photo Barbie as a child and she was always weird. The doll was designed for the Fashion Photo posing stand, so that when the camera moved the doll's legs, her head would turn as well. The body construction is unique to these dolls, the neck joint does not pivot like the SuperStar or Ballerina Barbie dolls, it only turns side-to-side, based on the position of the legs. The right leg will also swing out at the hip, unlike SuperStar and Ballerina Barbie doll hip joints. Turning the doll at the waist will also cause the head to move. No thought was really given to using the doll as a regular fashion doll outside of the Fashion Photo play feature, so it behaves very strangely if you try to pose the doll as you would any other doll. Putting the doll in a seated position is hilarious, as the head will spin around several times.
@@Siansonea OMG, yes this is exactly what I was talking about! I had never experienced this before nor did I even realize it existed. Thanks for shining some light on it, makes more sense now!! Lol ✌️ 💜
@@Thedollswitness Thank u! I'm so glad to have another commenter clear up the posing mechanism thing lol. I had no clue it even existed and it's so strange! ✌️💜
I absolutely love PJ! HAVE HAD ALL OF THEM! I ESPECIALLY LOVE TAKING, TNT MALIBU EXCEPT GYMNASTICS AND BIKINI TAN LINE! PLEASE EXCUSE CAPS AS I CAN NOT SEE WHAT I TYPE TOO GOOD! I HAVE THE RARE FIRST PJ WITH BLUE NOT THE MORE COMMON PURPLE EYES! I GOT HER WITH MY BABYSITTING MONEY AND SHE IS MINT OUT OF THE PACKAGE! I ALSO HAVE THE PURPLE 💜 BIKINI WITH OUT THE TAN LINES! PJ SUN GOLD IS GORGEOUS! MY FAVORITE SUPERSTAR PJ DOLLS ARE PINK ROSES AND DREAM DATE! I AM NOT A FAN OF QUICK CIRL, FREE MOVING, FASHION PHOTO EITHER! ❤
I have been saving for a PJ. I'm sure after this video today it will sell😢 n I will definitely loose the pj I been so desperately watching 🤮 I love you but I hate u for it
The Steffy face mold is my all-time favorite. Looks gorgeous in PJ.
Yeah that sculpt makes any doll worth holding onto. Just too pretty 😍❤️
Those last two P.J.'s are stunning. At least she went out on a high
Totally. 🔥🔥
Malibu PJ is my all time favorite. Stunningly beautiful
You said it! Stunning 🔥🔥
"Maybe Midge wasn't a particularly generous gift-giver... " 😂
Watched this one 3 times sooooo. good ! I have all the earlier PJs . After this content I am totally on the hunt for Dream Date PJ & Sweet Roses PJ... that amazing face up with the red lips .... so awesome ! Thanks again for my favorite channel on UA-cam ! Happy Barbie collecting !
Aw thanks so much! Glad you liked this one! Good luck on the hunt! I think there are plenty of those two PJs out there. Both are so pretty ❤️❤️
💚🧡💛Live Action Christie is my Holy Grail of dolls!
She’s definitely one of my all time favorites🔥🔥❤️
@@megdelaney3677 mine too 😭
They knocked it out of the park with the very first doll. I love that dress!
Agreed! She’s just too cute 😍❤️❤️
I loved Malibu PJ’s purple eyes!

The one doll I no longer have (long sad story) that I really miss is Sweet Roses PJ. What a perfect doll! Love your videos!
Thank you! I hope you find a replacement! Such a beautiful doll 🔥❤️❤️
I never miss a video of you. My favorite PS`s are Malibu PJ and the last one. I saw her in shops 40 years ago.
Thanks so much! Love both of those. 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️
Fashion Photo PJ is so very beautiful & elegant - I can see why she’s a favorite too. Thanks again for the entertaining and informative vid Jack!
My pleasure! Agreed. She’s an amazing piece 🔥🔥❤️
I made up that her full name was Priscilla Jacqueline, which I probably got from knowing of Priscilla Presley and Jacqueline Kennedy.
Love it! Makes her sound so worldly 🔥❤️
In my opinion her full name is Peggy Jill Maybarry. Yes, I gave her a surname. Like she should have.
💗🌹Love Sweet Roses P.J. & Dream Date P.J.💙
PJ is so pretty! Fashion Photo, Dream Date and Sweet Roses are my favorites. Sweet Roses was my favorite when I had her when I was little. She smelled so good. You are so lucky to have that Live Action Christie.
Nice! All great ones. And thanks, I love live action Christie so much 🔥🔥❤️
just started on a barbie lore deepdive and this is the best channel ever for it 💖
Beautiful PJ....great video

Thank u! Yeah it really doesn’t get prettier than Malibu pj 🔥🔥❤️
Always thought P.J. was adorable.
I absolutely LOVE dream date PJ. I mean, how can you say no to that face
Agreed! Total beauty 🔥🔥❤️
Malibu PJ (and Christie) are my favorites!
Easy to see why! 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m currently obsessed with Malibu Barbie, Malibu Christie, and any Francie but NOT Malibu Francie. I may have to scope out some PJs. I had some PJs as a little boy with the Steffie Sculpt.

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it. It’s funny how the midge sculpt really looks best on pj and live action Christie. So adorable. 🔥❤️
I love sweet roses PJ my mother bought her for me when I was a child. I have one in box and just opened my second one. I still need Dream Date PJ. She’s harder to get in box and for a good price but I will get her hopefully one day. But I love all the PJs you have a wonderful collection xo 😘
PJ was always my favorite
❤❤❤❤❤
I have a tnt- sweet rose which is my favorite 80s PJ and I have a living pj
Nice! 🔥🔥

This might be my favorite P.J. video
Aw thank you so much!❤️❤️
@@Thedollswitness you're absolutely welcome 🤗❤️
So classy 🩷🌻
Yay, PJ!!!!
PJ>Midge
Great recap of PJ! Midge and PJ are some of my favorite Barbie friends - especially in these eras. Absolute prime.
ps: I just noticed your Barbie 1 tattoo on your right arm. Ugghh as if you weren’t already a 10/10 stud, you had to seal the deal with that badass art. 😍😵

I also have the 1970 TNT P.J.
P.J. Is my favorite Doll too.

The last actual pj that came.out was sun gold pj n 1983\84.so sun tanned and stunning !
Love your videos!❤

I’m with ya! There’s no pj out there I don’t love. And a steffie sculpt can make any otherwise forgettable doll a total beauty. 🔥🔥
💙❤💜My favorite repro set is the Malibu trio -Barbie, Christie & P.J.!!!
That’s a great one! I remember when it was on Amazon for cheap. I had to buy several 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Live Action PJ is the first Barbie I ever received as a little kid and I still have her! Love her! But I have to be honest my favorite of all time was the Malibu PJ I got next. 💙💙💙
Lucky kid! Those two are so different but both so great 🔥🔥
Love live action P.J she is my favorite and have mine since childhood ❤have my Malibu P.J since childhood ❤ I have free moving P.J in box and out of box love her❤Quick curl P.J Ihave in box❤sweet roses P.J I have in box and love❤ love your video ❤❤❤😊

I love PJ. I have 23 Malibu PJs and I want the last two. So beautiful. Nurse Whitney is an another I love. Ps PJ is not a litterbug lol. Btw love your content.
Haha thank you! An army of Malibu PJ’s sounds amazing!🔥🔥❤️
Next “Barbie” movie should totally be PJ’s (or Midge’s - or BOTH) Revenge 😂
Haha agreed 🔥🔥
It’s probably because PJ was a gorgeous doll and was competition for Barbie.
As usual you really know your stuff! The Talking P.J. is one of my favorites but the limbs can detach quickly. I did buy the repro Fashion Photo because I thought it was really well done
Thank u! Love talking pj. And the fashion photo repro was an exciting release for sure. Can’t wait until they get us golden dream Christie next year 🔥🔥
Bravo on an another great video and lessons into the world of Barbie. I didn't know that there were so many versions of her. Bravo 👏
Thank you so much!❤️❤️
I've adored your video, I love every single one of those dolls, even though I only have 2 of them. P.j Malibu and P.j Sweet Roses. I need you to make a video talking about your favorite Steffie mold Barbies
Thank You from Spain!💖
Thank you!! Love those two pjs. A video all about the Steffie sculpt sounds cute!❤️❤️
My sister had the Living one. The rocker chick with the long fringe vest.
Live Action P.J. looks like Sally Struthers from "All in The Family"
Just wanna pop in and say I added to my PJ collection! I bought a MIB 1975/1976? Malibu PJ. She's in the pink box. The one's issued with the first Superstar Malibu Barbie I believe (not Sun Lovin', the one right before). I believe the Barbie had a red/orange swimsuit, but the PJ is still in her pink one.
Also, I just scored a Quick Curl and Free Moving PJ (with original pigtail ribbons) on eBay and I’m in love. I love the super surprised expression/eyebrows. 😂
Congrats! Hard ones to find! Both so pretty ❤️
I want the set because they are Friends who love doing things together!! 😂😂😂
lol dirty implication aside, how lazy was the team who put that set together?
@@Thedollswitness I bought that set on Ebay years ago for my daughter. Ken and Barbie are gone, but PJ is still hanging around. I agree though that they were lazily put together. I preferred them in the dream date outfits.
Malibu PJ was much, MUCH prettier than Barbie. That was the beginning of the end 🤣
You said it. lol outshining Barbie is a big no-no❤️❤️
Your dolls are in such good condition :)
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video 😊 fun fact: the gift set of 3 dolls from 1983 are actually the dream date dolls redressed.
Thank you! And that’s a great piece of info! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have always been a big fan of P.J. dolls. As a child, my very first Barbie that wasn't a hand-me-down was actually a P.J. doll, so she has always been a special character in the lineup for me. As an adult collector I have all the P.J. dolls, and multiples of most of them. I don't think I have more than one example of 1976 Deluxe Quick Curl P.J., but I know I have at least two 1975 Free Moving P.J. dolls, six 1978 Fashion Photo P.J. dolls (plus one repro), four or five 1983 Dream Date P.J. dolls, five or six 1984 Sweet Roses P.J. dolls and innumerable Malibu P.J. dolls, including all the variants (including the late 1978 Philippines Malibu P.J.). My favorite Malibu variant is the very of-its-time 1979 Sun Lovin' Malibu P.J. doll. The tan lines, the purple bikini, the mirrored sunglasses, the pink bag, it's all so nostalgic for me.

Wow! Sounds like you have an incredible collection! There really isn’t a bad pj. All of them are so adorable, so pretty. A shame she’s not around anymore. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I didn’t even know about her!?! 😮
She’s the grooviest!🔥❤️
"Penelope Jane"... That's my vote, sounds 60's right? Better than "Prudence Joan" but that would explain PJ. - Groovy ✌️
Haha I was actually thinking Penelope too!
WOOO PJ 🎉
PJ to me was the reverse of Midge, She was the cooler than Barbie best friend . I have a reproduction PJ from the Trio gift pack , the vintage to reproduction isn't an issue. This was a great episode as usual.
Thanks so much! I love the Malibu 3 pack. Bought a few back when they were on amazon. Great set 🔥❤️
I recall that Midge got into some trouble and was sent to a juvenile detention center. Barbie then met P.J. and they became bosom buddies. 😂
Haha prolly why midge was absent for so long ❤️
I choose to believe Midge was in witness protection
haha I find that a reasonable assumption ❤️❤️
I have a theory, I think Mattel discontinued PJ cause her name was too dated and they just re-named her as "Whitney"(very popular name in the 80's) or "Laura" in European version, I have this theory cause the very first Whitney/Laura doll like the Nurse or Jewel secret are very similar to the 80's PJ doll, I might be wrong but this is what I think-
Anyway PJ is my ABSOLUTE favorite Barbie's friend (Midge is my second favorite) she's so gorgeous and groovy! I have all the dolls you showed in this video and I absolutely love them! I want to collect all the PJ ever made even doubles.
P.S.
Fun fact: there are also some Paper doll of PJ and some of them looks different from the actual plastic dolls like a Malibu PJ with RED HAIR in her classic pig tails.
Was thinking the same thing - the name PJ was just dated and was replaced with Whitney.
Never thought about the connection to Whitney! I think you’re onto something! And nice! Sounds like you have a beautiful collection!❤️❤️
I love Barbie 🙏♥️😍
Thanks!
Hey thank you! Really appreciate the support!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I loved pj she was such a cutie 😭I only have one Malibu pj Barbie repro
That’s a beautiful repro!🔥
I have reproduction Malibu PJ and Fashion Photo PJ dolls. The other ones you have shown are expensive.
Both beautiful repros!
PJ is so adorable in all eras. I especially like her in her mod and hippie looks. Did Barbie ever have the Stephie face mold or was it just for PJ?

Well Black Barbie used that sculpt, as well as some dolls of the world, the first Hispanic Barbie. A bunch of other characters have as well. Always a stunner ❤️
Thank you so much for answering my question. Your videos are always fun and entertaining. 😊
As popular and wholesome as Olivia Newton-John was in the early to mid-70's (pre-Grease days) it's unfortunate they never made a celeb Barbie of her.
Yeah that would’ve been cute! 🔥❤️
Happy I found your video! I also really love PJ and she is more stylish than Midge. Maybe PJ and Barbie had more in common and Midge and Barbie grew apart a bit. I believe Midge was more a country girl/home maker girl and Barbie wanted more of a city life and work and bla bla so they grew apart!
I think you’re right! Midge was such a girl-next-door type. Pj just looks more fun. I know who I’d pick lol ❤️❤️
In my "headcanon", Barbie and Midge graduated from college in 1968, after which Barbie moved to California full time to further her modeling career, while Midge stayed in Willows, Wisconsin. In California, Barbie met Stacey, Christie and P.J. and they all became friends.
A MIB (orginal) Fashion Photo PJ is my second holy grail! But I'm not gonna pay like more then 500 for her so god I hope I find her at a convention or show for a decent price! 😅
The only PJ I have right now is Dream Date but I'd like Free Moving and Sweet Roses too. I got my MIB Dream Date for $124!
Nice! I hope you find the fashion photo! Such a great one. I think anything over 500 is a bit much too, but sellers know how crazy people go for that one. 😍🔥🔥
Hey there! I noticed that the Malibu PJ doll looks quite similar to the 80s Barbie in some cases. Also, I'm a bit confused about the name PJ and the weird brunette phase. AND MIDGE!!! Jeesh… poor Midge is kind of overlooked and not given much importance in the Barbie world 😭
Yeah I’m not sure why they didn’t just make up a name the letters stood for. And midge can definitely be a bit overlooked outside of early sixties collectors. The movie didn’t help that either lol❤️
I got the TNT one she's wearing Loop Scoop.
Nice! I’ve got my loop scoop on Julia. So cute ❤️
@Thedollswitness it really suits her, especially with her hair beads.
Te amoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back at ya!❤️❤️
Babies other friend at that time was Stacey and christie. I always thought pj stood for patricia Jane .haha. I love my Pj dolls more than barbie can't wait for the repro of golden dream christie
I can’t wait for that repro either! Gonna be amazing!🤩 🔥🔥
Sweet Roses PJ looks like Belle from "Beauty and the Beast"
P.J commonly stands for Pamela Jean, at least it was common for girls who were teenagers in the 70s
Yeah sounds right. I don’t think ive met anyone with just two consonants as a name. lol
@@Thedollswitness it could also be Pamela Jane/Jayne like the actress P.J Soles 😉
Barbie moving on from best friend to best friend like a girl switching designer bags.
haha totally ❤️
I feel like if she had a name, 1969...probably would be a Patricia Jean or Palmer Joan 😂😂😂
I named my childhood P.J. "Pamela June", lol.
lol Palmer Joan would be something
Maybe you can make up your own name for PJ.Like Paula Jones, Patricia Johnson etc.
I like your thinking
Too bad they never made a Superstar PJ, with a royal blue gown and brunette hair. But, Fashion Photo PJ was my favorite doll growing up.
Someone created their own but she's in a purple color palette! She's so gorgeous you can find the post on the Barbie subreddit! ❤
I have a loose fashion photo PJ that I found in a cheap lot, and I adore her. The only thing I'm confused about is how she does this weird movement when it comes to the combo between the neck, waist, and head. Is that normal? It probably is something silly that I should know, but it throws me off, lol. U have such a gorgeous collection! I have 2 malibus that I love, the fashion photo, dream date, and 2 sweet roses. All loose, of course, I'm poor, lol. Thanks for sharing! ✌️💜✌️💜
Haha thanks so much!! I think you’re talking about her posing mechanism. Sometimes it wears out over time and can act a little funny. Sounds like you have a beautiful collection!❤️❤️
@@Thedollswitness Honestly, the Fashion Photo mechanism has always been very strange, I had Fashion Photo Barbie as a child and she was always weird. The doll was designed for the Fashion Photo posing stand, so that when the camera moved the doll's legs, her head would turn as well. The body construction is unique to these dolls, the neck joint does not pivot like the SuperStar or Ballerina Barbie dolls, it only turns side-to-side, based on the position of the legs. The right leg will also swing out at the hip, unlike SuperStar and Ballerina Barbie doll hip joints. Turning the doll at the waist will also cause the head to move. No thought was really given to using the doll as a regular fashion doll outside of the Fashion Photo play feature, so it behaves very strangely if you try to pose the doll as you would any other doll. Putting the doll in a seated position is hilarious, as the head will spin around several times.
@@Siansonea OMG, yes this is exactly what I was talking about! I had never experienced this before nor did I even realize it existed. Thanks for shining some light on it, makes more sense now!! Lol ✌️ 💜
@@Thedollswitness Thank u! I'm so glad to have another commenter clear up the posing mechanism thing lol. I had no clue it even existed and it's so strange! ✌️💜
I absolutely love PJ! HAVE HAD ALL OF THEM! I ESPECIALLY LOVE TAKING, TNT MALIBU EXCEPT GYMNASTICS AND BIKINI TAN LINE! PLEASE EXCUSE CAPS AS I CAN NOT SEE WHAT I TYPE TOO GOOD! I HAVE THE RARE FIRST PJ WITH BLUE NOT THE MORE COMMON PURPLE EYES! I GOT HER WITH MY BABYSITTING MONEY AND SHE IS MINT OUT OF THE PACKAGE! I ALSO HAVE THE PURPLE 💜 BIKINI WITH OUT THE TAN LINES! PJ SUN GOLD IS GORGEOUS! MY FAVORITE SUPERSTAR PJ DOLLS ARE PINK ROSES AND DREAM DATE! I AM NOT A FAN OF QUICK CIRL, FREE MOVING, FASHION PHOTO EITHER! ❤
Sounds like you have a beautiful collection! What a great time to be a Barbie kid! ❤️❤️
I have an aunt we call PJ, her name us Pamela Jean
Nice, from now on I’m assuming the doll’s name is Pamela. ❤️❤️
Since PJ are mostly Steffi head mole I like to call her Steffi or Stephanie but that’s me
Cute!❤️
I had quick curl PJ
A beauty!🔥🔥❤️
pj has some of the prettiest dolls in the early 70s. hot take she might have been prettier than barbie for a couple of years
She definitely outshined Barbie when the Malibu gang came around. Hard to beat that sculpt 🔥🔥❤️
