Barbie Collector Mad Men Collection Joan Holloway Doll Review

Barbie Collector Mad Men Collection Joan Holloway Doll
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have to say I've been a Mad Men fan for two years. Joan is undoubtedly my favorite character and being a gay man in my late 20s who didn't have sisters, I pined to be allowed to play with Barbies when I was growing up. What is better than a Joan Holloway Barbie? Nothing.
Yes, it's true, she is a very slender interpretation of our favorite sassy office manager. But it's a doll. It's not supposed to be the perfect likeness. Have you seen what Don's doll looks like? He looks awful. This is a great likeness of Joanie, especially in the classic 60s Barbie form. Her hair and outfit are perfect. I unbuttoned her dress as much as it would allow and she truly does have period appropriate undergarments, but I wouldn't count on seeing her without her dress on unless you're ok with it not going back on without a fight. I debate getting a second because I am fearful that throughout the years I may lose her shoes or mess her hair too.
She really is such a beautiful doll that I didn't want to take her out of the box, but how could I not? The packaging is gorgeous and I felt like a kid on Christmas when she was delivered. I highly recommend this to any fan. If I end up in an office, I'm taking her with me. Just in case of a John Deere tractor accident.
For now, I can't decide if I want the other three. But I am completely happy with my Joanie.

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.

In 1969, Mattel introduced another doll into Barbie's ever-expanding world of family and friends.

This Gold Label collector's edition (limited to 7,700 pieces worldwide) brings back the Stacey doll along with her "Nite Lightning" fashion ensemble.

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

Barbie: Career Girl Barbie Doll - Gold Label
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

Francie Doll
Average 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

Collector Barbie Barbie/Skipper Vintage #2 Set

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

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

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

Barbie Julia Doll
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.
