holy shit that christie is an amazing find. she is usually worth a lot more than more since black dolls weren't as mass produced at the time. gorgeous doll i cant believe someone would sell her in an antique store given that she is so rare.
Since you are getting into older Barbies, I would highly recommend Sarah Sink Eames's series of books on Barbie fashions. Each book covers a whole decade 60s, 70s and 80s. Great haul!
That brunette twist’N turn Barbie was my childhood doll. She was given to me in 1967 but I was too young, only 5 years old. After my birthday party I took her to bed with me for my nap and over clicked her legs till one broke. I was so sad and tried to hide it from my Mum. When she discovered it, she returned it to the store and bought me an ugly Barbie clone replacement. I was heart broken and missed her all my life. I have a replica of her with red hair but would love to find an original like yours. How cool!!
Congrats on the amazing haul! I'm also still reeling after an unexpected acquisition yesterday. In a box of horses and ponies I purchased for cheap, I found an MLP G1 Macau Snuzzledrop! I'm completely shook. It's so precious and so unexpected! Wanted to share my giddiness since I don't have local collector peeps.
When it comes to the clothing I think there is a thing called a color catcher. You put it in the wash and it helps prevent color bleed. I think that red dress on the Barbie is an original as well. These were a great find. That Christie is so pretty! If you were worried about rerooting your barbie you could always pay someone to do it for you or look for one of the wigs from the vintage Fashion Queen barbie. Remove the hair plugs from your girl and then just pop on a wig. I adore my Fashion Queen and I have a few wigs and its such a cute idea.
Congrats on the suitcase haul! $75 for all that, Twiggy especially, is such a steal!! Christie's price too!! Low key jelly xD Your paranoia for cleaning them is valid. I haven't found any time to wash any of mine. A lot of people seem to love the Steffie mold (PJ) and I can see why! Those pursed lips are everything. I have barely any Barbies before the 80's due to usually trading them for newer era stuff, but at some point I'm gonna try to get more too! The pink gym bag is Gymnast Barbie from the 90's! Easiest way to tell if it's 80's/early 90's is if the bottom left of the B has a little curly-q on the end. The blue brush is definitely 90's/2000's Mattel.
OMG! You got Live Action Christie! OMG, such a grail for me! Congrats on such a bargain...she's so beautiful... I couldn't find Christie for so long - I ended up with 4 Julias before finding Christie and I had to get my Brad from Japan... I'm ridiculously pleased to see you getting Mod Barbies...they're my childhood and my absolute favourites. Oh and that bigger shoe might be for Tammy...it looks like a Sindy that I have from the 60s. PS You can tell the difference between Casey and Twiggy because Twiggy has very thick black eyeliner under her eyes. Also, all my Caseys have different lengths of hair, so I think they were all done differently in the manufacturing process, so yours might not be cut.
The corduroy red skirt is from the Barbie cheerleader outfit!! Number 876 I think :) I love the old Barbies!! I'm so happy you have some for your collection. They are beautiful!
In reference to 6:44 foldable doll house, one of my earliest memories in my life was when my Mom and I were living in Japan in Naganoken, we would go to my Mom's beasties house and I always got to play with her daughters (who were several years older) and they would always get out the Licca and Jenny dolls and the boyfriend dolls along with the COOLEST foldable laminated modern doll house and it had doors with hinges to each room💔💖❣️ this was like 1991ish and I think I was around 5 years old
Funny thing is my Mom and I lived with her boyfriend who had 3 daughters (again in their teens while I was a 5year old) and they introduced me to Shoujo manga and Sailor Moon back when it was still airing week to week😭💖 ugh I'm getting all nostalgic
Exciting! I love walking up to a booth like that, I would be squeaingl so loud inside, and smiling like a big kid. Love your neopets Acara hat, adorbs!
I haven’t gotten into pre-80s Barbies, but if I saw them in person in good shape, I think I might get sucked in. This almost makes me want to go thrifting, even though the shops in my area of Canada usually aren’t good (or they get picked over quickly), and it is a climate for mold and bedbugs. At least Barbies can be washed.
Great follow me around this is a really cool antique mall. Dolls are no cheap hobby for sure 😭 but you got great dolls, good condition and so pretty. The 70s Christie🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
That Barbie game Queen of the Prom, brings back such memories to me, I had that game, I think I was about 13 or 14 when I got it for Christmas. So many of these dolls bring back such happy memories, one I loved so much. Was Tiny Tears, I loved her. Thank you so much for sharing these great videos, Brooke, I also had those paper dolls, you looked at, I wish I was with you, on this fun trip. Thanks again, love your little hat ❤
Hey Brooke, whenever you do another PO Box in-boxing I think I might’ve actually sent you that midge paper cut out from that 60s set I’m not sure if it’s the right one, but it looks similar
Wow very vintage dream barbie house ...thanks for showing us I would never see it ❤❤...and back in my day 70's...I git a barbie every Christmas and birthday...western barbie ,and the yellow or cream colored van ..I lived that van ..couldn't wait to play with them and my furniture back then was them plastic blow ups ..the orange and green ones ..❤❤
The medal, weight, bag, and those streamers all must go to an Olympic Barbie (just off the top of my head). It's so great you got the drum major and majorette fashion pack!
I don’t know where to start, but you found some gems! The live action Christie with her original out fit, you got her for such a good deal! The Malibu PJ, she’ll be fine if you use a tooth brush to clean her face and body. I got a super dirty one and I did the same thing to clean her. The Casey doll is a blond Casey, she came in blond and Brunette, they Also used the same face mold for the the twiggy doll but she had dark eyeliner and they also use the same mold for the 1970’s Francie doll. I would have bought all of the TNT Barbie’s in all the hair colors, I love that era of Barbie. You had some amazing finds
I had that Christie. She came with a little round stage, a pole mic, a 45 record you could play while she danced on her stage. The stage vibrated where her feet would go and so Christie would “dance”. Think Tina Turner.
I think you would benefit from looking into Twinpines doll restoring products. I’m not affiliated in any way with them. But the products were developed to restore older dolls. Some can even help the green ear caused by metal earrings Barbie used to have. They have soaps to clean clothes as well. I have been happy with the products I’ve used.
OMG! Those Uneeda dolls are Miss Suzette! I would die to see one of those IRL. They are SO expensive to buy online, i don't know when i'll ever be able to get one.
Amazing score! Loving you are getting into vintage babs, the vintage collecting community needs younger collectors! You really did luck out with live Action christie. She's actually the same head mold as midge! Amazing the difference screening paint can do! Debutante ball is also a score. Yours did look in great shape ❤
Wouldn't the fur stole for Debutante be real fur? They didn't have the fake fur technology we have today. I know they made real mink stoles for Barbie back then!
I recently became interested in vintage/antique barbies as well. The 60s face sculpt is so unique, I found the 1996 wedding day barbie with the 60s face sculpt at the thrift store and fell in love! Great video!
OMGosh grab that TNT Go Go Coco! And the other TNTs they have !Even with the fade, which can be fixed w Copic marker wash, those prices are insane! The Coco is desirable hair color! TNTs that gorgeous are so much more expensive! Yes, in the old days us kids had to cut out our own paper doll clothing, if you were lucky, the dolls were punch out or already diecut. Love the tour! Yes they used real fur but keep in mind people ate rabbit a lot more often then too.
You did very well! Be very careful with all of the red clothing! The red dye will run if you try to wash them. Also just steam the blue outfit with the rabbit stole. Only the cotton garments can be washed. Congratulations! Enjoy this new direction in collecting!
Good for you!! That’s so awesome I love this for you :) Thrift stores are so fire man one time I found a 3 story fully assembled Victoria dollhouse for like 35$ (I think this one usually goes for like 600$ give or take) but I was so excited to have my own
Soak clothing in white vinegar I believe prior/before washing to prevent color bleeding. Oxiclean can help 💞 I’ve used that before on clothing. I don’t always like washing outfits because the tags inside are so fragile. Very light agitation if none.. soaking these older outfits is best. Oxi clean works well.
Love the Christie. That is a Casey doll. Pink bag and medal belong to gymnast Barbie I think. Really regret getting rid of my 60’s 70’s dolls 4 years ago.
Awesome finds ! I love vintage barbies ! I have a few, wish I had more ! Very hard to find in good shape & reasonably-priced. You definitely did well ! Congrats ! Thank you for sharing . 😊❤
One of my best finds ever was a Bubble Cut Barbie that i found at Savers for $3. She had green ear, but I cleared it up in about 3 days of soaking the head in CLR.
You did incredibly well. Live Action Christie alone sells upward of $300 to $500 in that condition. Go Go Cocoa refers to the hair color of the Twist N Turn Barbie. Barbie's from this MOD era had hair color names. Little bit of trivia for you...Live Action Christie is the only Christie that shares a head sculpt with the original P.J. sculpt. Which also happens to be the original Midge head sculpt.
I had that tricky Mickie doll with the orange jump suit on. My Nan bought it for me in 1973 from Rathbone Market in London, it was amazing. Unfortunately I don't have her anymore. Her ending, along with my other dolls of which I had Barbies, Daisy Dolls and Sindy's, ended up in a skip in a waste refuse site. Its my biggest regret EVER 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭
LIVE ACTION CHRISTIE!?!??! IN THIS ECONOMY???? I cannot believe you found an affordable one in the wild, I've loved her ever since Trixie Mattel showed her in her collection.
I love vintage barbie bubblecuts, original steffie, and tnt are my favorite.i also love the old standard body for the ponytails, bubblecut. Also they have 70s fashion packs called Besy Buy. Most of those don't have tags. I keep updating my comment. 😂 The warly dolls bidies are really strong so you can scrub them. Be careful with the tnts bodies mainly the feet are fragile. Also both 60s the ponytail, bubblecutetc. , and tnt, malibu barbies have a large neck peg. They are made to be switched out . So can just take the head out , and swap. You don't even need to boil the head .
I got a grab bag with a bunch of vintage and handmade Barbie clothes a couple months ago, so now I'm also on the lookout for vintage Barbies! There must have been some doll magic in the air this weekend because I picked up three American Girl Samantha outfits AND her bed (!!!!) from a thrift shop for about $80 for everything! I don't actually have anywhere to put the bed lol but I couldn't pass it up for the price.
Oh the red dress on the bubble cut is from barbie matinee fashion # 1640 and used again in a barbie red delight fashion pak. I think the orange or salmon color sheath dress was a fashion pak dress also. Along with the green polka dot sheath dress. Some of my favorites. too.
Hi! I love watching your videos. I was so surprised to the purple suitcase you saw after the Bratz tin. I’ve had mine since childhood. It originally came with a whole bunch of different kids makeup, body glitter, lotion etc. I feel in love with the case and I’m so glad I never parted with it.
i put my doll clothes in a pollow case tie the pillow case off some how and wash in the washer with the rest of my clothes just some that cant be i hand wash use peroxide on some of the stains i found out from a nurse years ago when i was in the hospital after pulling my iv out during a seizure that peroxide willtake out blood and stains they sale in in spray bottles now trust me brook i been watching you since i started collectng again
She’s absolutely amazing… she was priced at $95 and I loved the Barbie that matched as well. If she’s still around next time I go I do not think I will be able to leave her behind
I was just looking at them, and I actually remember having one! They were made with black hair. But it oxidized over time. I went down a rabbit hole because I never remembered her with red hair!
@@xCanadensisthats an excellent price - i won her for $101. I recently got hooked on mod era/60s/70s barbies. I found a walking barbie/jenny at savers for 5.95 - didnt realize who she was until i got her out to clean and her legs and arms moved in unison. Those christie and pj dolls also are on my radar. Ive got malibu barbies which are closer to my era of doll playing - 70s/early 80s. A Thousand splendid dolls has excellent doll, clothes and even rerooting vids
you've probably already been looking at vintage prices after this buuuut: I've noticed that because older barbies have experienced generations of collectors by this points, they tend to be easier to find complete, same with fashion packs. Even finding them in good condition online isn't *impossible*, and for better prices than the average Bratz/MyScene from a decade or two ago lmao And its very funny seeing vintage clothing/dolls that ARE rare (usually store exclusives lol the more things change...)go for less than a random 00s fashion doll that was produced in MUCH higher quantities. It'll be so interesting to see how prices for 00s lines fluctuate over time.
The three dolls at 19:00 are part of the Enchanted Seasons collection from the mid-90s. Autumn is missing. They aren’t rare or anything; I just wanted to point them out if anyone was wondering.
As a Powerpuff Girl collector I screamed when I saw that book bag!! I’m passing thru Alabama in a few days just looked and I’ll be passing by on my way to New Orleans. ❤ love the haul. *Edit* Ahh just seen the PPG bobble head
When you see a Barbie with the short full hairstyle, that's a Bubblecut Barbie, not a Midge. Even though she will be marked on her butt "Barbie & Midge". It just means they share a body from that era. Midge will either have a shoulder length flip or a chin length bob...and usually freckles.
Don't forget that there were official McCall, Simplicity patterns. I inherited all my sisters' Barbies, Kens, original blue jalopy, 60s dolls through my 80s dolls. Name it, I probably have it.
awesome adventure! great buys too! - not sure what you film on for you thrifting type videos, but i would recommend looking into the fms/frame rate, bc your thrift videos can make me on the dizzy side.
It’s as high as it can be- though one of the clips Brett did was 30fps and he didn’t notice 😅 I think it tries to overcorrect with a motion blur which I super hate
@@xCanadensis 30fps has a more natural feel thus making it better for vlogging - out and about videos. I used to be really in photography as a teen and when I started dabbling with video - frame rate was super confusing to me bc I thought it was like video games where more frames the better, but it’s kinda of the opposite for most applications unless you are doing slo- mo or doing some really involved and fancy editing stuff. So I’d recommend trying to film in 30fps during your next shopping vlog if you remember ( or if you are willing ), I love all you do for the doll community and I just adore the out and about videos you do but when I watch them I have to pause and take breaks because I get motion sick everytime.
30fps SUUUCKS to look at for me. At least the way my phone records it? It looks super clunky and it’s very noticeably lagging behind… I can give it a shot for motion shots! I know very little, I just do what I find works - I apologize.
They're gorgeous,I love ♡♡ vintage 60s & 70s Barbies they've such beautiful faces. They're definitely some of my favorites along with silkstones the late 90s early 2000s CEO face sculpt Barbies, the Mackie face sculpt & the oak face scuplts like celeb dolls etc..The late 70s, 80s & early 90s superstar Barbies I like them,but they're my least favorite face scuplt.
Yes they used real fur they even has a exclusive Sears mink coat. I got the brunette Casey she's one of the rare dolls that i don't mind having a huge grin. Most of the time like the movie dolls it creeps me out.
How do you decide which dolls should be factory dressed and which ones just get outfits mix-n-matched up? I so struggle with this, like otherwise I just have every doll known to mankind. Which, idk doesn't seem so bad lol
For this era it’s easy since the original outfits generally are pretty generic! But for the rest of my collection if I don’t have their original outfit but still want them on display in the meantime OR they’re a double, I will display in a different outfit! Usually I don’t like outfits I put together/choose to pair with certain dolls because I’m too picky with myself so it’s very rare I’ll display them in a different outfit
@xCanadensis girrrrl it is late! Lol 😆 yeah and sometimes I leave my dolls nude or half dressed lol I thrift mainly too and I just want them all out. I follow your organization videos cause I love that we see or think similar 💖 I just don't think my displays look as nice and I haven't only kept it to dolls so maybe in the next house! 💖
They did infact use real rabbit fur in the 60's amazing start I have quite a bit of knowledge on the originals you're okay to use a soft bristle toothbrush for cleaning th but do be careful only.use soap and baking soda paste, wash the clothes separately and watch for bleeding, you can wash the hair like normal and to reroot the bubble cut you can check online with doll planet and other sites for the hair the original hair type was mohair which isn't made anymore but you can find a similar product, not every fashion had the tags only set pieces had the tags on one item usually the jacket or outer piece
When he was repulsed by the Ken’s I felt bad for them cuz the movie 😂 and cuz like real …. I think I had one ken growing up and like 20 Barbie’s who shared him 😂 I’m so jealous of the amazing thrift places you have . My thrift stores these days seldomly have any good dolls. And I buy for customizations so I don’t even need perfect ones and it’s still hard and then there asking 9$ for a doll that’s drawn on with felt pens and is missing limbs it’s crazy. Finding anything vintage is like holy grail . It’s only happened to me once and it was a vintage Barbie case. And I left it and I still think about it years later 😢
Budget line barbie clothes did not have tags. Still official just no tags. The date on the butt of barbie is the year that barbie body was brought into production not the year of the body. The really short hair barbie may have been the model that came with a couple of wigs. I would advise that you get a barbie bible. The good ones, i have several, show the budget line, the type you would have found at Woolworths 5 and dime, clothing as well.
The case for 75$ looked nice. Casey is the doll you really wanted she’s a Mattel doll she’s cute and Francie Barbie’s cousins friend. 🙂 she’s apart of the mod era 🩷🩷
That’s fair! Here it would be weird to bring food in. They were giving food out as a way to bring customers in. So like the antique shop booth owners were serving stuff. I’m not weird enough to just carry a cup of meatballs I promise bahaha
holy shit that christie is an amazing find. she is usually worth a lot more than more since black dolls weren't as mass produced at the time. gorgeous doll i cant believe someone would sell her in an antique store given that she is so rare.
I was a kid in the 70s & I also love the fashion from that time. And the music. Just a great time period.
Love seeing your preferences in dolls evolve!
My wallet hates it! Hahaha
Since you are getting into older Barbies, I would highly recommend Sarah Sink Eames's series of books on Barbie fashions. Each book covers a whole decade 60s, 70s and 80s. Great haul!

You can wash vintage Barbie clothes in dish soap and water. Do the reds separately and use "color catchers" so they don't bleed into any white bits.
Oh my goodness look at all the Pikachu ❤❤❤i love him 🤩🤩
The medal, weight, bag, and those streamers all must go to an Olympic Barbie (just off the top of my head). It's so great you got the drum major and majorette fashion pack!
Thanks so much! I think I got the special gift set for the majorette since I have Midge’s cheer skirt? :D
I think the dolls that were under the Barbies in the container were the Sunshine dolls created by Mattel. I had them in the 70’s.
I don’t know where to start, but you found some gems! The live action Christie with her original out fit, you got her for such a good deal!

I believe the medal, the ribbons, the dumbbell all go with the pink gym bag. I think they were from a gymnast Barbie. I love all the vintage finds!
Live Action Christie for $60... oomf I have never been more envious of anyone in my entire life....
OMGosh grab that TNT Go Go Coco! And the other TNTs they have !Even with the fade, which can be fixed w Copic marker wash, those prices are insane! The Coco is desirable hair color!

You just use color catchers with the red clothing, washing them separately.
I love the hat so cute☺️
I thought I saw a Sunshine family doll.
I just love that you’re getting into vintage Barbie’s!!! That Christie is amazing! You found some pretty amazing finds ❤🎉
No, no!! It’s bad!! How am I going to afford these? I can’t stop looking at the fashions 😭😭😭
Good for you!! That’s so awesome I love this for you :)
Thrift stores are so fire man one time I found a 3 story fully assembled Victoria dollhouse for like 35$ (I think this one usually goes for like 600$ give or take) but I was so excited to have my own
Live action Christie is stunning
If memory serves me right the bag as well as the laces are from barbie gymnast from the 90s

I don’t always like washing outfits because the tags inside are so fragile. Very light agitation if none.. soaking these older outfits is best. Oxi clean works well.
You got a really good deal on those two bubble cut Barbies.
Love the Christie. That is a Casey doll. Pink bag and medal belong to gymnast Barbie I think. Really regret getting rid of my 60’s 70’s dolls 4 years ago.
Awesome finds ! I love vintage barbies ! I have a few, wish I had more ! Very hard to find in good shape & reasonably-priced. You definitely did well ! Congrats ! Thank you for sharing . 😊❤
Incredible finds! Congrats!

Her ending, along with my other dolls of which I had Barbies, Daisy Dolls and Sindy's, ended up in a skip in a waste refuse site. Its my biggest regret EVER 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭
LIVE ACTION CHRISTIE!?!??! IN THIS ECONOMY???? I cannot believe you found an affordable one in the wild, I've loved her ever since Trixie Mattel showed her in her collection.
Girl, you got lucky! I saw one of my grails, plus some other awesome ones!!
Late but, the bubble cut barbie with the hair thinned out you can reroot her as a vintage color magic barbie.
I love your Thrift Store Doll hunts
Debutante ball is an expensive outfit and desired. Beautiful fashion. 🩵😍
I love vintage barbie bubblecuts, original steffie, and tnt are my favorite.i also love the old standard body for the ponytails, bubblecut. Also they have 70s fashion packs called Besy Buy. Most of those don't have tags. I keep updating my comment. 😂 The warly dolls bidies are really strong so you can scrub them. Be careful with the tnts bodies mainly the feet are fragile. Also both 60s the ponytail, bubblecutetc. , and tnt, malibu barbies have a large neck peg. They are made to be switched out . So can just take the head out , and swap. You don't even need to boil the head .
The neon pink medal, bag and ribbons are all from 1993 gymnastics barbie!
I love the mod era of Barbie it’s my favorite pre 90s
Yes even the bathing suits will have a tag if they are official clothes
I got a grab bag with a bunch of vintage and handmade Barbie clothes a couple months ago, so now I'm also on the lookout for vintage Barbies! There must have been some doll magic in the air this weekend because I picked up three American Girl Samantha outfits AND her bed (!!!!) from a thrift shop for about $80 for everything! I don't actually have anywhere to put the bed lol but I couldn't pass it up for the price.
WOW!
The thrifting energy is so good right now!!
Oh the red dress on the bubble cut is from barbie matinee fashion # 1640 and used again in a barbie red delight fashion pak. I think the orange or salmon color sheath dress was a fashion pak dress also. Along with the green polka dot sheath dress. Some of my favorites. too.
Definite score on those vintage wedges on your bubblecut. Those are extremely hard to come by. :)
Hi! I love watching your videos. I was so surprised to the purple suitcase you saw after the Bratz tin. I’ve had mine since childhood. It originally came with a whole bunch of different kids makeup, body glitter, lotion etc. I feel in love with the case and I’m so glad I never parted with it.
i put my doll clothes in a pollow case tie the pillow case off some how and wash in the washer with the rest of my clothes just some that cant be i hand wash use peroxide on some of the stains i found out from a nurse years ago when i was in the hospital after pulling my iv out during a seizure that peroxide willtake out blood and stains they sale in in spray bottles now trust me brook i been watching you since i started collectng again
Awwww…the Julia nurse doll 💜💜💜💜 Just won her online - i had been hoping to find one in ‘the wild’
She’s absolutely amazing… she was priced at $95 and I loved the Barbie that matched as well. If she’s still around next time I go I do not think I will be able to leave her behind
I was just looking at them, and I actually remember having one! They were made with black hair. But it oxidized over time. I went down a rabbit hole because I never remembered her with red hair!
@@xCanadensisthats an excellent price - i won her for $101. I recently got hooked on mod era/60s/70s barbies. I found a walking barbie/jenny at savers for 5.95 - didnt realize who she was until i got her out to clean and her legs and arms moved in unison. Those christie and pj dolls also are on my radar. Ive got malibu barbies which are closer to my era of doll playing - 70s/early 80s. A Thousand splendid dolls has excellent doll, clothes and even rerooting vids
@@christimorris387yes she is one who’s hair oxidized to red!
What was this store called? I’m from North Alabama and I have the worst luck finding older dolls in antique stores and things.
you've probably already been looking at vintage prices after this buuuut: I've noticed that because older barbies have experienced generations of collectors by this points, they tend to be easier to find complete, same with fashion packs. Even finding them in good condition online isn't *impossible*, and for better prices than the average Bratz/MyScene from a decade or two ago lmao
And its very funny seeing vintage clothing/dolls that ARE rare (usually store exclusives lol the more things change...)go for less than a random 00s fashion doll that was produced in MUCH higher quantities. It'll be so interesting to see how prices for 00s lines fluctuate over time.
The three dolls at 19:00 are part of the Enchanted Seasons collection from the mid-90s. Autumn is missing. They aren’t rare or anything; I just wanted to point them out if anyone was wondering.
As a Powerpuff Girl collector I screamed when I saw that book bag!! I’m passing thru Alabama in a few days just looked and I’ll be passing by on my way to New Orleans. ❤ love the haul. *Edit* Ahh just seen the PPG bobble head
Back from from my New Orleans road trip and passed by this antique store! I GOT THE POWERPUFF GIRL ROLLER BAG OBSESSED
The first doll you got also could be Francine. I could be wrong though 😊
I definitely wanna see if I can find the nurse barbie doll somewhere!
When you see a Barbie with the short full hairstyle, that's a Bubblecut Barbie, not a Midge. Even though she will be marked on her butt "Barbie & Midge". It just means they share a body from that era. Midge will either have a shoulder length flip or a chin length bob...and usually freckles.
Don't forget that there were official McCall, Simplicity patterns. I inherited all my sisters' Barbies, Kens, original blue jalopy, 60s dolls through my 80s dolls. Name it, I probably have it.
awesome adventure! great buys too! - not sure what you film on for you thrifting type videos, but i would recommend looking into the fms/frame rate, bc your thrift videos can make me on the dizzy side.
It’s as high as it can be- though one of the clips Brett did was 30fps and he didn’t notice 😅
I think it tries to overcorrect with a motion blur which I super hate
@@xCanadensis 30fps has a more natural feel thus making it better for vlogging - out and about videos.
I used to be really in photography as a teen and when I started dabbling with video - frame rate was super confusing to me bc I thought it was like video games where more frames the better, but it’s kinda of the opposite for most applications unless you are doing slo- mo or doing some really involved and fancy editing stuff.
So I’d recommend trying to film in 30fps during your next shopping vlog if you remember ( or if you are willing ), I love all you do for the doll community and I just adore the out and about videos you do but when I watch them I have to pause and take breaks because I get motion sick everytime.
30fps SUUUCKS to look at for me. At least the way my phone records it? It looks super clunky and it’s very noticeably lagging behind… I can give it a shot for motion shots!
I know very little, I just do what I find works - I apologize.
@@xCanadensis no need apologize I appreciate you taking the time to even read the comments let alone respond thoughtfully :)
They're gorgeous,I love ♡♡ vintage 60s & 70s Barbies they've such beautiful faces. They're definitely some of my favorites along with silkstones the late 90s early 2000s CEO face sculpt Barbies, the Mackie face sculpt & the oak face scuplts like celeb dolls etc..The late 70s, 80s & early 90s superstar Barbies I like them,but they're my least favorite face scuplt.
Ahhh yes!!! Another shopping 🛍 vid! My favorite 😊
You can probably jhush the Bubble cut Barbie's hair pretty well when you wash her. There might not be a need to reroot.
Yes they used real fur they even has a exclusive Sears mink coat. I got the brunette Casey she's one of the rare dolls that i don't mind having a huge grin. Most of the time like the movie dolls it creeps me out.
How do you decide which dolls should be factory dressed and which ones just get outfits mix-n-matched up? I so struggle with this, like otherwise I just have every doll known to mankind. Which, idk doesn't seem so bad lol
For this era it’s easy since the original outfits generally are pretty generic! But for the rest of my collection if I don’t have their original outfit but still want them on display in the meantime OR they’re a double, I will display in a different outfit! Usually I don’t like outfits I put together/choose to pair with certain dolls because I’m too picky with myself so it’s very rare I’ll display them in a different outfit
@xCanadensis girrrrl it is late! Lol 😆 yeah and sometimes I leave my dolls nude or half dressed lol I thrift mainly too and I just want them all out. I follow your organization videos cause I love that we see or think similar 💖 I just don't think my displays look as nice and I haven't only kept it to dolls so maybe in the next house! 💖
Ahaha I was up editing the next doll room update actually!! I’m glad they’re helpful/fun 🥺
Wow amazing finds!!!! So jealous😂
Oh my goodness I’m so excited for you!!! I’m not going to lie though I’m definitely jealous 😅but awesome finds
They did infact use real rabbit fur in the 60's amazing start I have quite a bit of knowledge on the originals you're okay to use a soft bristle toothbrush for cleaning th but do be careful only.use soap and baking soda paste, wash the clothes separately and watch for bleeding, you can wash the hair like normal and to reroot the bubble cut you can check online with doll planet and other sites for the hair the original hair type was mohair which isn't made anymore but you can find a similar product, not every fashion had the tags only set pieces had the tags on one item usually the jacket or outer piece
Where Antique Mall you visited? in Georgia? what town? Thanks
This was in Alabama
The random shoe may be a Little Chaps shoe.
You have a beautiful hat with ears
1961 Ken is first edition and he had the flocked hair. I’m very into vintage 🩵 so I know a ton about the clothes dolls etc etc.
Pjs face mold reminds me of the my scene girls
When he was repulsed by the Ken’s I felt bad for them cuz the movie 😂 and cuz like real …. I think I had one ken growing up and like 20 Barbie’s who shared him 😂 I’m so jealous of the amazing thrift places you have . My thrift stores these days seldomly have any good dolls. And I buy for customizations so I don’t even need perfect ones and it’s still hard and then there asking 9$ for a doll that’s drawn on with felt pens and is missing limbs it’s crazy. Finding anything vintage is like holy grail . It’s only happened to me once and it was a vintage Barbie case. And I left it and I still think about it years later 😢
Budget line barbie clothes did not have tags. Still official just no tags. The date on the butt of barbie is the year that barbie body was brought into production not the year of the body. The really short hair barbie may have been the model that came with a couple of wigs. I would advise that you get a barbie bible. The good ones, i have several, show the budget line, the type you would have found at Woolworths 5 and dime, clothing as well.
I love your channel and hat great finds
I love barbies so much
Even the official hangers will say Barbie on them
Wow 60$ for that Christie is incredible 😮
The case for 75$ looked nice. Casey is the doll you really wanted she’s a Mattel doll she’s cute and Francie Barbie’s cousins friend. 🙂 she’s apart of the mod era 🩷🩷
Francie was supposed to be Barbie's cousin from stylish London, age 15.
Amazing stores
The pink duffle bag, orange dumbell and Ken's gold medal are from the 1993 Gymnast Barbie 😅
Casey and Twiggy have the same face sculpt but Twiggy is paler and has more eye makeup.
Thank you!!
Pecha berry is the only one that comes to mind at the moment
Brooke is in her vintage Barbie era.
GUESS IM THE ONLY ONE ON THE PLANT WHO STANS KEN ❤
I am always surprised watching shopping videos from the US. In my country you can not enter a store with something to eat.
Whaaat?? Why? :o
@@xCanadensis They are afraid you make a mess by spilling something over the products they sell. You also can not use public transport with open food.
That’s fair! Here it would be weird to bring food in. They were giving food out as a way to bring customers in. So like the antique shop booth owners were serving stuff. I’m not weird enough to just carry a cup of meatballs I promise bahaha
