Barbie Collector's Request Vintage Reproductions - Friday Night Dream Date Giftset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These dolls are the real deal! I really think Mattel found the original mold when they made these dolls. Suffice it to say, these dolls may be repro but they are even better than vintage as they are brand new. From head to toe, Barbie and Ken are dressed to perfection in their 1959 duds. No kidding, everything is totally like the vintage dolls. If your original Barbie mysteriously disappeared somewhere, get this gift set and you have her back in all her glory with her favorite guy, Ken by her side.
Vintage stuff is great but with this set, you cannot tell the difference.

Barbie Ornament Collection Giftset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In this four-piece ornament set, Kelly doesn't just get to play dress up. She gets her own sized down versions of big sister Barbie's vintage outfits: Solo in the Spotlight, Evening Enchantment, the classic black and white striped bathing suit, and red flame. This really isn't a kid's toy. The outfits are not designed to be removed and the dolls are corded so they can be hung on a tree, wreath, etc. Very nicely done overall with both respect to the original outfits and Kelly's age.

Barbie - Groovy 60's (sixties) Collector Doll - Great Fashions of the 20th Century Collection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A great example of 60's styles, with some serious attention to detail. The only fault I find with 60's Barbie is her boots. Where did Mattel get the idea for these cloth shoes I keep seeing? They should be plastic. Go-go boots were NOT made of cloth! Otherwise, she's "groovy!"

Barbie: Career Girl Barbie Doll - Gold Label Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This 2006 Gold Label release brings back one of Barbie's most elegant, desirable ensembles of the early 1960s, "Career Girl" (cat #954). It's presented on a stunning example of the blonde 'Bubblecut' doll.
The "Career Girl" outfit consists of a gray tweed pencil skirt with matching wide-collared jacket, and a pillbox hat topped with a red rose. Underneath, Barbie wears a red turtleneck bodysuit; and also sports a pair of black elbow-length gloves. Completing Barbie's corporate look are a pair of black open-toed mule shoes, and a shiny black clutch-purse (a PAK item which wasn't originally included with the outfit, but over the years has been added to it by keen collectors for display). The "Career Girl" outfit has always reminded me of Kim Novak's tailored gray suit from the movie "Vertigo"--were Mattel designers influenced by the work of Edith Head?!
Originally released as a Gold Label offering by Barbie Collector in 2006, the "Career Girl" repro is now fetching very high prices; so grab her while you can!

Francie Doll Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Mattel first introduced Francie Fairchild as a cousin for the Barbie doll in 1966. With a youthful face and real rooted eyelashes, Francie became a big hit. Slightly shorter in build than the Barbie doll, Francie had her own wardrobe of groovy clothes and shoes; and in 1972, returned in a new blonde version. Now, Barbie Collector brings back the blonde Francie doll wearing a reproduction of her "Smashin' Satin" outfit.
With her curly blonde flip-do, Francie is the picture of sunny innocence. The "Smashin' Satin" costume comprises a full-length electric blue strapless satin dress, with matching jacket and hotpants, so you can create several different "looks" by mixing and matching the pieces! Francie also wears baby-blue sheer stockings and low-heeled shoes.
Limited to only 8,500 pieces worldwide, Francie "Smashin' Satin" is a delightful addition to any Barbie collection!

Collector Barbie Barbie/Skipper Vintage #2 Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased two of this set, I liked the first one so much I had to buy another to debox. The dolls are lovely reproductions of the vintage dolls, though the original titian-haird 1964 Swirl Ponytail Barbie doll was not available with the bubble-gum pink lip and nail color. Coral lips and nails would have been more accurate. But it's a lovely doll nonetheless, and the Skipper doll is adorable. I hope Mattel creates more repro Skipper dolls, as well as Skooter and Ricky. This set comes with a cardboard backdrop that is based on Barbie's New Restyled Dream House, and it's a wonderful bonus. I have several of my vintage repro dolls displayed in front of it. Great set, definitely worth the price.

Barbie Collector My Favorite Barbie - Barbie and Her Wig Wardrobe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)How fun to have this reproduction of my much-loved doll from the childhood Barbie years! She looks exactly like the Barbie I remember. Although she was glam for the time, it always bothered me that she didn't have hair, so I would put her in the blonde bubblecut wig which is probably what was most popular in 1963. My fave outfit for this Barbie was the Barbie Career Girl, which was an elegant fashion of a sort of tweedy suit with elbow-length gloves. What a joy to find out that they reissued the blonde bubblecut with that very fashion as a "dressed doll" reproduction in about 2006. I love that Mattel is doing these very-successful reproduction dolls and clothes. I don't know how they hold up with a kid's handling but, for us adults, they are lovely dolls to display. Sentimental, enjoyable, collectable and very special for us baby boomers and anybody else. Thank you, Mattel! And thank you to Amazon sellers, as I've been able to catch up my collection with the various advertised repros from the past fifteen years which I'd missed before I knew Mattel had introduced them. I don't know why it's so comforting to have my reproduction Barbies...but it is!

Barbie Solo in the Spotlight - Blonde Special Edition Reproduction Doll (1994) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cutting a dramatic figure in a sexy black dress, Barbie looks every inch the sophisticated nightclub singer in this lovely 1960 fashion and doll reproduction.
This 1995 repro set includes a recreated 1960 'Ponytail' Barbie (aka Barbie #3), wearing the much-beloved "Solo in the Spotlight", a strapless figure-hugging black gown made of metallic weave, with a netted fishtail frill. Matching black gloves, open-toed mules, and a purple scarf 'held' in her hand complete the ensemble. To add to the flavour of the nightclub theme, a plastic microphone is included with the dollstand, so Barbie can 'sing' to her heart's content!
For one reason or another, this repro set has never appreciated much in value over the years. Thousands of these dolls were made throughout 1995-96, and most collectors have kept her boxed, so she's still very plentiful on the secondary market. A fun piece for the classic collector.

Black Haired Barbie Silken Flame Collector Edition Reproduction Doll of the Famous 1962 Doll Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This lovely Barbie reproduction set was produced in 1997. It brought back two of Barbie's classic fashions of the early 1960s: "Silken Flame" and "Red Flare".
"Silken Flame" is a strapless frock, featuring a red velvet bodice teamed with a cream satin skirt. Accented by a gold belt and red open-toed mule shoes, the outfit finds a perfect companion in the "Red Flare" dress-coat. "Red Flare" consists of a red velvet coat (lined in cream satin) with matching pillbox hat and white tricot gloves. The perfect finishing touch is a red velvet clutch-purse with a sparkling "diamond" button.
In the early days of Barbie fashion, Mattel designers utilised the current celebrity styles and fads when it came to creating the costumes for Barbie's elegant wardrobe. The "Red Flare" coat was no exception; being based on one of Jacqueline Kennedy's most talked-about outfits.
The set was originally released in dual-editions of either blonde or brunette Barbie doll, with the bubblecut (circa. 1962) hairstyle. I own the brunette version, which really sets off the red colours of the outfit to maximum effect. Thanks to a large production run, the Silken Flame/Red Flare Barbie repro set can still be found for very reasonable prices on the secondary market.

Barbie Julia Doll Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Mattel should be commended for bringing some diversity to the reproduction line of dolls. Julia is a breath of fresh air to those who once owned her and to those who wished they did! The doll is beautifully constructed in every detail. Of particular note is the highly detailed uniform, exacting in every small way. I would have liked to have seen an additional outfit packaged along with the doll, but that is really a small personal quibble. Once again Mattel has stapled the doll's head to the packing material. This seems like such a dubious practice, even for shipping. Thankfully these staples are easily cut, though it would be better if they were not there in the first place.
Something not mentioned in previous reviews is the wonderful reproduction booklet that accompanies that package. If perusing this doesn't take you back to the lazy days of 70s Barbie play, I don't know what will! Its a lovely extra that will take you down memory lane...and wish everything contained within were still readily available. Its also a great reference material..something that you don't find just anywhere.
Bottom line, if you are looking at this doll and considering her. Buy her. She's worth it!

The show, Julia, debuted in September of 1968, changing television history forever. The landmark sit-com introduced us to Julia Baker, an African-American widow, and her young son, Corey. Living in Los Angeles, Julia worked as a nurse beside the grouchy, but still lovable, Dr. Morton Chegley. Played magnificently by Diahann Carroll, Julia challenged stereotypes and changed perceptions. Warm, spirited, and determined, Julia became a star, who is fondly remembered even today. This wonderful reproduction of the original Julia doll from 1969 celebrates all that made Julia AND Diahann so beloved. The strikingly beautiful doll wears a re-creation of Julia's white nurse's uniform, and features rooted eyelashes, bendable legs, and a Twist 'N Turn waist. Doll is housed in a striking package inspired by the original design.

Barbie Evening Splendor Barbie Doll Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this Barbie. She is an incredible reproduction of the 1960 blonde ponytail Barbie wearing a reproduction of the 1959 Evening Splendor Fashion #951, a gold and white metallic brocade dress with matching coat with sleeves trimmed in faux fur. Barbie also has a matching faux fur headband hat with faux pearl trim. Accessories include faux pearl earrings and necklace, white gloves, brown open toed heels, a purse, hanky, and stand. This particular Barbie takes me back to the days when I was young and loved to go to the doll store to purchase Barbies and fashions. I had the 1960 Barbie and the 1959 fashion, but alas they were given away by my mom when I was in college. This reproduction has given me a second chance to own two of my lost treasures.

Barbie Collector My Favorite American Girl Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me just start by saying I absolutely adore this doll - it's one of the most beautiful reproductions I have ever seen. The doll's face paint is perfect, the outfit and swimsuit are exactly as pictured. Just lovely. As an added charm, Mattel actually didn't shellac the doll's hair into its usual frozen helmet. The hair is actually SOFT, can you believe it? Wow!
The downside? There are several: Once again, Mattel has stapled and fastened this doll to death. Four plastic staples in the head, alone. And it's impossible to cut them down flat without harming the hairdo. Why is it necessary to keep anchoring the collectible dolls' heads to the cardboard, at all? What is the point? Every Barbie collectible l doll I own has sharp plastic points sticking through her hair and you can never enjoy combing or touching it. Seriously, do Barbie heads really require multiple anchors to maintain their display position? Also, there is so much plastic piercing the clothes and poking holes in the legs that removing the doll from the cardboard takes an eternity. And quite wasteful packaging, btw.
Finally, the doll stand, itself, is not the proper height for this Barbie. You have to slide the waist grip all the way to the very top of the stand in order to keep the doll upright, and it keeps slipping off.
Still, this is in no way the fault of the doll, herself. And her loveliness makes up for all my complaints.

Campus Spirit - Barbie Doll and Ken Doll Giftset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These Barbie and Ken dolls are so cute and I appreciate the company bringing them back as repros as I missed them the first time around. They certainly can remind us of how football has evolved over the years. Very nice outfits altho I think the shoes on Ken are a bit too small. These are such a nice addition to a collection. My daughter was a cheerleader in red and white so I wanted her to see these. I very much like the stadium background also with these dolls so one can put them on display without opening them.

Ken doll captures the winning football wearing his team number and helmet. Dolls cannot stand alone, or hold objects as shown.
