California Dream Barbie (1987) - Unboxing & Review

Hello everyone! Today we are taking a look at the 80s California Dream Barbie and she comes with a bonus Beach Boys record with the sing "Living Doll" made just for Barbie! Could this record have inspired the makers of the upcoming Barbie Movie?

I adore her and got her for my 12th birthday, and being from California made it special. That must be the UK version as ours in the states came with squishy high top sneakers. Thank you for your videos I just love them. ❤️

[@DeanReen]

Oh! That must have been exciting! WOW! I had no idea there was a difference in shoes! Thank you so much for sharing! 💖😊

[@JennasMusic76]

@DeanReen Awwe anytime Deen. I just adore your channel and it brings me a lot of joy. Thank you for such great content. ❤️

[@TheBellaNaomi]

[@DeanReen]

Thank you ❤️

[@Lars1996]

She is so cute! I love all the random mismatched prints on her outfit. I have Midge. The record is really cool 😎

[@DeanReen]

I love midge! 😍 I love the outfits most, they are so funky. I love the fashion packs they had as well ❤️😊

@@DeanReen Do you unbox all your vintage doll's or do you keep some new in box? I will unbox vintage doll's only when the box is in fair or poor condition especially if the cellophane window is not intact or if it's loose or if the doll is showing signs of deterioration like any melting joints issues like the Mego Farrah Fawcett or Cher doll's. If the box is in poor condition and falling apart then it's not doing much to protect the doll inside anyway or if the doll is deteriorating or has melting issues then they are better unboxed since that may prevent further damage since they were never made to stay in their boxes for many years and were created to be played with and enjoyed. Just because a doll is new in box never removed does not always mean it's in mint condition especially with the old Mego doll's like Farrah as most of them have melted joints at the shoulders and hips or upper legs and their outfits are often melted to their bodies which is a shame since they are new in box and never taken out and played with or used. It seems like a waste of a once brand new doll but now it's falling apart due to age and never being used. Newer modern day Barbie's can be unboxed since it will take many years before they're worth a higher value.

OMG this made me go back to the 80s, I can remember the store that I was when I saw the dolls.❤

[@DeanReen]

Wow, great memory! ❤️😊

[@omarrodriguez-xu2wl]

WOOW! I'd never heard it before!🤩😎

[@DeanReen]

I think I had but not sure where 🤷🏼‍♂️ It was a long time ago.

[@प्यारदिल]

Her face started to change in the late 80's that's when I became obsessed with her lol I think her golden age was during the 90's!

[@DeanReen]

Definitely! I believe that is why she sold so well during that period. Such magic! 😍🥰❤️

[@BlakeGildaphish76]

i think i have heard this track, maybe, once in my life. It's a cool song. i'm surprised you're not concerned about a copyright strike. 😄

[@DeanReen]

It is isn't it! I still can't believe they did it TBH. And it seems so under-appreciated. I'm never too concerned when Mattel owns the content as they are fairly nice about it all. Technically it is fair use though as I am reviewing a product and the record is part of it. Don't try using Madonna though, I got in trouble for that once 😂😭

[@jonathanflores9874]

Ha! I just got the California Dreams Midge in the mail right after this was uploaded. I didn't get record though, that's rad lol

[@DeanReen]

OMIGOSH! What timing! 😂❤️ I love Midge most but only Barbie comes with the record so I bought her instead 😩

[@geminisabah]

Ooh what a cutie! I love her little shoes❤

[@DeanReen]

She is very pretty. I managed to remove the old bands too, it took a while but I got there in the end 😊

[@fashiondolldreamer]

She's SOOO 80'S! That song on the record is so cute and funny! ('YOUR YUM-MY LIKE ICECREAAAAMMM!" LOL) 😂

[@DeanReen]

It's a bit corny isn't it? But so fun. I have had it stuck in my head for years now 😂❤️

[@Hawaiianslug69]

This whole line is great I especially love skipper midge and christie

[@DeanReen]

Omigosh, I just realised Skipper was left out on the box! 🤷🏼‍♂️ Poor Skipper. My fave is Midge 🥰

[@Hawaiianslug69]

@@DeanReen cus she's European

[@DeanReen]

@@Hawaiianslug69 Oh! I had no idea. I think I see them locally so they must have had her here in Australia too.

[@ThatGuyGabeToo]

I have this doll but I thrifted her I had no idea she originally came with a record... Mine's missing the earrings too! But for under 1 euro one can't complain really... XDDD

[@DeanReen]

Oh no! The earrings are everything. The doll herself is very pretty though. And yes, definitely a bargain! 🥰

[@APimpNamedNastyNesto]

I wish Barbie would do this with modern bands and artists ( they create a single for her) I mean we kind of got one for the 2023 Barbie movie soundtrack but still… a doll themed with the artist would be 😎 cool

[@DeanReen]

That would be so fun! It probably costs more than they are willing to spend though 😩

[@andre816149]

cool😍

[@huntertomlin3523]

Sie’s pretty Does she have strong scent

[@DeanReen]

Not really, just the usual plastic smell 😊

[@carlosantoniogarciavaladez106]

1987 one of the bestest years from Barbie

[@DeanReen]

Definitely agree! ❤️😊
