The Mod Barbie Anomolies

[DollyKim]

After trips to the store proved fruitless in the skin matching department I ended up popping vintage *Living Barbie's head on a 90s ballet Barbie that's been hanging around. The match is pretty close and she can wear the few original Francie fashions that have found their way here. Yes, a chip is missing out of the neck, will repair that later if needed.




*Pivotal for Talking Stacey after she gets rerooted. "Let's go see the High Numbers!"

Stacey in progress, hoping to get close to her original style.

Guess who knows how to reroot Mod Barbie eyelashes and after these girls hopes she never has to do them again.

Wow you even rerooted her eyelashes.

[Dark Angel]

I couldn't figure out that last picture. Now I get it. She's looking great. Can't wait to see her finished.

[DollyKim]

Wow you even rerooted her eyelashes.

She already had the holes, the knot method worked best.

I am liking the awesome vintage dolls! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, old heads needing rerooting or TLC on Ebay and Etsy aren't that much, I lucked out on a lot of Mattel and clones from a seller having a clean out. All mine are getting modern jointed bodies because Obitsu has spoiled me.

That's not Francie that's Living Barbie with the TNT Barbie sculpt fyi. Francie has never been a redhead and had blue eyes only in her Malibu versions not her mod era stint heh.

Thanks , helps to know, I'll correct her name. She came in a lot of Mattel and clone heads and the seller thought she was a Francie too.
