At some point I decided they were boyfriends, so they get displayed together all the time now.
This lady (1981 Happy Birthday Barbie) who survived her thrift cleaning ordeal even got to keep her Decision of a hairstyle after very careful smoothing and combing. Her eyes are wildly misprinted, that mark on her cheek doesn’t want to leave, and she needs a paint touch up on her bottom lip, but she’s so goofy looking with half an 80s bubble cut on her head that it has kind of swung around to being charming.
Here are the contents of the Barbie Brick. Many superstar, some early, some late, some that have things to say. Totally Hair, Disney Belle, a My Scene with Freckles, Tara Lynn, Midge’s of different faces, some CEO/Generation Girl faced dolls, fairy situations, non Barbies… Some things I would have bought alone, others I definitely would not have, but now there’s no shortage of Parts and things to try stuff on. Digested hands Ken not pictured haha
Today I got this several pound bag of Barbies on the thrifting adventure with my mother. There’s some great Steffie face happening in there, a few very distinct superstars, and a partially digested Ken doll.
Luckily, I received this very new undigested (and aggressively Nordic looking) Ken today as well! He is the start of the few that I was able to get from this line trickling in.
