I was very lucky as a child to grow up during a time that vintage Barbies were becoming more and more popular! Mattel started releasing reproductions of their most collected and enjoyed dolls.
Here is a reproduction of the 1960 - 1964 "Silken Flame" outfit.
I have been lucky to find several of my vintage reproduction dolls at flea markets.
This is a reproduction of the 1960 "Busy Gal" outfit.
One year for Christmas I received this reproduction of the 1963 Barbie Prom Game. Naturally, I was young and didn't take as good care of it as I should have so now it's not complete but still enjoy and display it with the rest of my collection.
A few years ago our friend Susan gave me this beautiful "Exotic Beauty" Barbie for my Birthday. She came out in 2002.
Here is an artist sketch of the Exotic Beauty Barbie.
Here is a 1970 commercial for the New Living Barbie featuring Maureen McCormick before she became famous as Marcia Brady!
Have a wonderful day, Lindsey
I am lucky enough to have some repros, too - Silken Flame,Enchanted Evening, Solo in the Spotlight, Original Barbie in the B&W swimsuit, Wedding Barbie,
ReplyDelete& Barbie in a gold brocade suit - I can't remember her name right now. Loved your post and the video. That game is neat, too.

"Wow! she's real like me!" ☺ Love it! I probably saw that commercial during my Saturday morning cartoon time. ♥
ReplyDeleteI just love seeing your dolls and stuff- hooray once more for Barbie Wednesdays!!
ReplyDeleteHi lindsey! I have the exotic barbie too....When she came out mattel had her also made as a "treasure hunt" a treasure hunt was a doll that had something different on her than the basic doll. On this particular doll the "treasure hunt" had I believe red or green crystals in her jewelry, that was what made her different. I don't know how many were made like that but.......I didn't get a treasure hunt. She is a very pretty barbie anyway. You inspire me to show some of my Barbie collection also......have a great day!! Jennifer
