    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.

    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.

    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! 😍

    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  Рік тому +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! ❤️

    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.

    Loved all of your choices! I was thrilled to get Black Francie this summer, but I’m still looking for several of the others you showed. One tiny correction: it’s not a baking soda solution that changes the Color Magic hair, but washing soda. I was able to get some on Amazon and change my CM wigs. I don’t dare try it on my one doll or her outfits!

    Hi there, I'm enjoying your channel very much. I found a number 6 Ponytail Barbie lying face up and naked, at the top of a dumpster. 😅 I took her home. She might not be a number 1 but she was FREE. Now I just have to find her red swimsuit. She's wearing a vintage sky blue and silver halter dress at the moment. It was destiny. :)

    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.

      @Thedollswitness  Рік тому +2

      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.
