1967 Vintage COLOR Twist N Turn Barbie Doll Commercial HQ

This is the commercial for the vintage twist n turn Barbie Doll. When she first came out, mattel offered a trade in, if girls turned in their #1 Ponytail Barbie, they would get a Twist N Turn Barbie half cost.

[@adamtaleb2871]

When she said what do I do with my old Barbie I was like duh keep it at home and play with it lol

[@bowiemichelle]

so glad my parents didn't let me trade!! I now own the vintage ponytail Barbie who is worth alot more than the "new" Twist n Turn Barbie trade in! LOL

[@bluesmamarara9213]

I still have this Barbie! I remember the day my mom took me to the toy store to get her. We had a coupon. Spent many hours playing w/her, fond memories.

[@ell_5.456]

this is my favourite barbie commercial 😂 often pops into my head

[@qui_etes_vous]

They were genuinely having fun making the commercial, that's why :D

[@CodenameSailorEarth]

The returned Barbies got melted down for newer dolls. That's why the market for those first six year's worth of Barbie dolls is so expensive. May the souls of those thrown away dolls have made their way to newer ones.

[@Naharu.]

Damn, they killed all my girlies to spare some cents

[@kumada84]

No they didn't. They donated them to charity. Why do people make up stories like this 😑 Edit: Ohhhh. Moonsisters. The making up stories and presenting them as facts makes sense now. 🤣🤣

[@CodenameSailorEarth]

@@kumada84 sorry you're choosing to pretend I'm "wrong" because you're deciding to be "mad" at my website for attention, but facts are facts. Mattel still has a recycling program for some of their newer toys too.

[@kumada84]

​@@CodenameSailorEarthI totally agree - facts are facts. We just have a very different concept of what constitutes a "fact". 🖖

Why trade in your old one just buy a new one I mean you can have more than one Barbie. Even today Barbies don't twist and turn at the waist. When the little girl said ''What do I do with my old Barbie?'' I was like keep it at home you can name it Amanda or something.

[@jasperscreampixl9534]

Haha ! You could name it Amanda of something ! Lol

You could also give a different name to your Ken or even your male relative's G.I. JOE? Did any of u ever did that?

[@IanKirklandVlogs]

Well, back then it was the 60s, and this still happens now, basically, if the new barbie came out and you didn't have it, you would most likely get laughed at. And She couldn't buy a new barbie and keep hers because, back then, $1.50 was A LOT of money for a child to have. So, they wouldn't be able to buy it, and would have to trade in the old barbie. It just happens

[@TheJarvier]

That explains why its hard to find the first Barbie dolls. 😂

[@SPslash2011]

favorite barbie tbh. Think it's the prettiest one ever made.

i honestly think this barbie is the prettiest of them all .

[@riannaarcilla9690]

To bad they don't return the old dolls in the toy store anymore, I wish they could still do that so we can reduce reuse and recycle the old ones into new ones so we can help environment and maybe even save more money

[@yanaulyana]

It's a vintage, take care dolls. Don't change on new scary dolls.

[@Hawaiianslug69]

Well I think it's good to buy vintage mostley cause it's better than new but cause it's better for the environment

Oh my God these commercials were so wholesome. I wish we had sales like these still around.

[@ohfives]

Huh, tell it to me. In Argentina a normal doll is $100 pesos.

[@diegopineda8301]

Well, a dollar fifty in the 60s was approximately 11 dollars

[@TruWatcher]

Those who don't get why little girls would trade in old Barbies for new either don't know or have forgotten what it's like to be a little girl. When you're a kid you want the latest new thing, not something old. Also, the "old face" Barbies didn't really look right in the late-'60s "mod" Barbie fashions. You needed a new one to make those look good. Don't forget, little girls will always regard Barbie in terms of play value, not how much $ they might be able to get on Antiques Roadshow someday.

[@lj_wolfe]

And if you were always being told "no" for new toys because money was tight, this was a chance for parents to get the new hotness at a discount.

WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT TO THE OLD BARBIES. I WOULD NEVER DO THAT D:

[@qui_etes_vous]

hahaha, my favorite part is when the kids were bouncing into the store! haha, fun! Marsha is cute. I like the voiceover guy, too. Fun. Oh! And I love the deal! Trade in your old Barbie to a store clerk and get the BRAND NEW model of Barbie for half price...totally cool! And can we talk about these prices...$1.50! Fuck! Today, a brand new, hip toy would be like $30, $40, gosh maybe even $50 or more.

[@kumada84]

TNT Barbie was sold for $2.99 back then (if you didn't do the trade-in), but that's equal to $27.49 now 👀

[@lipsdaz]

The TNT Barbie is my favorite, I have over 50 of them! To me she is the most beautiful Barbie ever produced.

[@barbee0913]

You didn't have to trade in a barbie. You could trade in any kind of fashion doll or broken doll. That's what I did, I traded in a knock off. The store still honored the promotion.

[@ilovekuli]

What do you do with your old barbie? KEEP IT!

[@InNirvana955]

Gosh, the what do i do with my old barbie part broke my heart. That kid should watch toy story.

Bridbeams I mean a 64 year old can watch toy story If she wants people might think it’s weird but there’s no rule saying you can’t watch toy story if your not a kid

[@gerobbbbbbbb]

Cant wait to buy this new twisting Barbie!

[@dakotacraft9672]

You didn't necessarily have to just trade in the 1959 Barbie doll. You could've traded in any older barbie. Such as the bubblecuts, and ponytails. I doubt it was specifically for the 1959 doll. As even in the promo the little girl gave in a swirl ponytail, and it had a cartoon picture of the bubblecut.

[@bingobongo445]

And what happened to all the old Barbies you turned into the toy store. There are probably stashed away in the toy stores attic,only to be rediscovered in 2018.

[@kaitie648]

They were probably destroyed.

+kaitie648 They were actually donated to children. :)

[@TheYoungCommenter]

The song is so catchy!

[@curlytoes79]

they should bring back the "real eyelashes" on Barbie...lol

[@merrilise2492]

curlytoes79 you still can get some with real eyelashes the style barbie dolls have eyelashes. Oh they are now like $30 on amazon and they use to be like 10-15 dollars on amazon. Oh I suppose that the Style Barbie's were made like 2 years ago

[@luckdragongirl]

And this is why the American Girl hairstyle Barbies are so expensive. I'm lucky that I have the head of one of them (she's on a non-American Girl body). American Girl hairstyle is my favorite of the vintage dolls. It's just a bob with bangs, but it's adorable. For those curious about why they did this promo, kids usually only had 1 Barbie and then bought the fashions. So to sell the new dolls, it made sense to trade in the old dolls to get the new ones at a discount.

[@gooliopechannel8673]

[@bcrkris]

I can tell you what they probably did with my sister's Barbie. They made thousands of dollars off of her 1950's Brunette ponytail Barbie with the strapless Zebra swimsuit. Thanks a lot Marcia Brady ! To this day, my mother believes that Mattel knew that those ponytail Barbies were going to be worth alot and they cooked up this trading scheme to get some of them back. The twist and turn Barbie was my favorite. I traded a bubble haired Barbie for her.

It's been 50 years since this Barbie came out. If I was a kid in 1967 and want to get twist n turn Barbie. I wouldn't trade. I will still keep my old Barbies. If I own the vintage Barbies in the 60's and found out they are worth almost $1,000,000 in the next 50 years later.

Mattel officially said the trade-in dolls were ultimately donated to charities. Found the information on a vintage Barbie blog from a few years ago. It took awhile for Barbie to become really popular, so fewer dolls. Some of my friend's Mom's back in the early 1960's though Barbie looked too "adult", and one school friend could only play with Francie and Casey dolls

[@destinyphongmany5706]
