amynicole Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Anyone else collect them? I have tons all in the boxes. I'm going to continue collecting and hand them down to my daughter if I have one, or Lauren if I don't. Some of them are from the 80's, but I don't have any older than that. My mom and I used to hit up local toy and doll shows. Anyone have a favorite Barbie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaterpillarScheme Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 My mom has three from when she was a kid in the 60s. They're so cool, they look like Samantha and her mom from Bewitched. She gave them to me when I was little, but my collection has somehow migrated back to her possession, with my 20 odd 90s Barbies. I wish we had kept some in their boxes, but I ruined the shit out of them playing with them so much. Cut hair, dye and bleach experiments, tattoos and broken legs... I LOVED Barbie.

Aartemys Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 My grandmother has all my old Barbies (even a Ken that I dressed in drag and painted makeup on) put away for my kids to play with sometime... I have 2 of the New Kids on the Block Barbies (Donnie & Joey)...I also have a Gem (or was is Jem?) with her light up earrings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amynicole Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 My favorite Barbie is solo in the spotlight Barbie. I have the replica but I'd love to own one of the original 1960's. But they go for several hundred pristine in the box. And also if I ever have a few thousand lying around I'll get the original 1957 barbie, blonde with the no. 1 ponytail in the box.

Aartemys Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I went to an antique shop in Vermont a few months ago and they had an entire display case full of Bob Mackie original Barbie's...I didn't look at the prices for fear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
