@@Thedollswitness I LOVE Christie too! She's Divine! I guess, I love the 70's return to a natural, and less Glamorous feel, which embodies the look then, more fun in the sun vibes. I just Love Vintage Barbie. From the first ponytails straight through the 80's. 90's was rocky, and 2000's to present (Besides BFMC) and excluding repros is a hard pass. Not Feelin Barbie anymore regarding current day. Moved on to Integrity dolls FR, Poppy and NU Face, they have a better understanding of current trends and the reflection on Fashion dolls..

I have always been a big fan of P.J. dolls. As a child, my very first Barbie that wasn't a hand-me-down was actually a P.J. doll, so she has always been a special character in the lineup for me. As an adult collector I have all the P.J. dolls, and multiples of most of them. I don't think I have more than one example of 1976 Deluxe Quick Curl P.J., but I know I have at least two 1975 Free Moving P.J. dolls, six 1978 Fashion Photo P.J. dolls (plus one repro), four or five 1983 Dream Date P.J. dolls, five or six 1984 Sweet Roses P.J. dolls and innumerable Malibu P.J. dolls, including all the variants (including the late 1978 Philippines Malibu P.J.). My favorite Malibu variant is the very of-its-time 1979 Sun Lovin' Malibu P.J. doll. The tan lines, the purple bikini, the mirrored sunglasses, the pink bag, it's all so nostalgic for me. I also have a few 1969 New & Groovy Talking P.J. dolls, several 1970 P.J. With Twist 'N Turn Waist dolls, and a few 1971 Live Action P.J. dolls. One of my Talking P.J. dolls was originally sold in a plastic bag with a cardboard hanger tag, but I took her out because the bag was trashed. The doll itself is mint with her wrist tag, mute of course. I have repaired two of my Talking P.J. dolls to talk, though, and my favorite line she says is "wow, you're the grooviest!".

@Siansonea4 ай бұрын
@@Thedollswitness Honestly, the Fashion Photo mechanism has always been very strange, I had Fashion Photo Barbie as a child and she was always weird. The doll was designed for the Fashion Photo posing stand, so that when the camera moved the doll's legs, her head would turn as well. The body construction is unique to these dolls, the neck joint does not pivot like the SuperStar or Ballerina Barbie dolls, it only turns side-to-side, based on the position of the legs. The right leg will also swing out at the hip, unlike SuperStar and Ballerina Barbie doll hip joints. Turning the doll at the waist will also cause the head to move. No thought was really given to using the doll as a regular fashion doll outside of the Fashion Photo play feature, so it behaves very strangely if you try to pose the doll as you would any other doll. Putting the doll in a seated position is hilarious, as the head will spin around several times.

I have a theory, I think Mattel discontinued PJ cause her name was too dated and they just re-named her as "Whitney"(very popular name in the 80's) or "Laura" in European version, I have this theory cause the very first Whitney/Laura doll like the Nurse or Jewel secret are very similar to the 80's PJ doll, I might be wrong but this is what I think- Anyway PJ is my ABSOLUTE favorite Barbie's friend (Midge is my second favorite) she's so gorgeous and groovy! I have all the dolls you showed in this video and I absolutely love them! I want to collect all the PJ ever made even doubles. P.S. Fun fact: there are also some Paper doll of PJ and some of them looks different from the actual plastic dolls like a Malibu PJ with RED HAIR in her classic pig tails.

Was thinking the same thing - the name PJ was just dated and was replaced with Whitney.

Never thought about the connection to Whitney! I think you’re onto something! And nice! Sounds like you have a beautiful collection!❤️❤️

Too bad they never made a Superstar PJ, with a royal blue gown and brunette hair. But, Fashion Photo PJ was my favorite doll growing up.

Nice, from now on I’m assuming the doll’s name is Pamela. ❤️❤️

"Penelope Jane"... That's my vote, sounds 60's right? Better than "Prudence Joan" but that would explain PJ. - Groovy ✌️

Haha I was actually thinking Penelope too!

I feel like if she had a name, 1969...probably would be a Patricia Jean or Palmer Joan 😂😂😂
