That black lace cocktail dress Barbie with her magical watteau cape is on my radar as well. I proudly own Blush Beauty Barbie (her dark chocolate hair against her fabulous blush coat ensemble is chic and sophisticated), Blush and Gold Cocktail Dress Barbie ( I fell in love with her beautiful, angelic face) and the Mattel 70th Anniversary Barbie is a must for any Barbie collector as owning the original 1959 Barbie in silkstone is utterly rewarding; the weight and shape of her makes me think of an award statue whenever I hold her. I also want to give a shout out to the 1989 Wedding Party Barbie, though not a silkstone, owning a delicate replica of the 1st Bridal Barbie in porcelain is as precious as a heirloom pearl necklace. Happy Collecting. Cheers +_0

Gonna keep my eye on online stores and ebay to snatch one with agreeable price. But the dolls in this list probably will have crazy prices?

I loved the 2009 collection because all the dolls were elevated versions of vintage Barbie oufits. A bit of trivia for you: the Palm Beach Coral is a miniature version of a 1960s Valentino design. I love it when Mattel or Integrity do outfits based on actual pieces from fashion history, which is why I love Poppy Parker and Victoire Roux dolls.

I have #3 (her hair is actually silver. Her hair has a slight purple tinge in the light.), #4 (I don't care for the glitter eyeshadow, but amazing anyways), #6 (she's more spectacular in person), #7 (another doll that looks more amazing in person), #8 (The yellow/grey combo IS stunning!!) and #9 (I am in LOVE with this Ken. I have all except one doll from the Russian series). The vanity is one of my "holy grails" along with the matching mirror and partition that was only available at one of the Barbie conventions. The display case was recalled due to them arriving broken. Someone posted an unbroken one on ebay about 2 years back, and the price they were asking for was a bit much. So many dolls, so little money. I hope you get the opportunity to get theses beauties!! UPDATE: I've been able to purchase two of my holy grails: Muffy Roberts (love her resting bitch face) AND the Vanity/bench set (won the auction, and got unopened at a cheap price!!).

Great list, all are high quality dolls but I would mention that the detailing on Mermaid Gown's dress is exceptional. Day at the Races' dress is actually two pieces: it's a strapless dress with a shrug that makes it look like one piece. Prototype photos of Nicolai originally had a red star on his hat but members on the Barbie Collector website complained that it promoted communism (while some of us joked it meant he shopped at Macy's) so the star was eliminated. I'm still ticked off over Sugar's Daddy Ken, Mattel released sneak peeks on the Barbie Collector website but once the press took notice (some reports even mentioned "Ashley Madison", a hook-up site for married men) Mattel backpedaled and said the doll was only a "concept" and "never approved for production" (yet he was included on the list of upcoming releases sent to doll shops). Some OOAK artists have attempted to make their own Sugar's Daddy Ken dolls using other silkstone Kens but none of them use the darker Palm Beach tan that he was supposed to have.

what I forgot to mention is that I like the old silkstones better than the new ones because their body used to look more curvy and feminin. mattel now even reduced the silkstones breast the look so small or flat jajaja and her bodies too thin.I like the idea of a articulation but mattel should have left the the same proportions of the bodies and more articulations in her hands and her knees the just bend up and down not even to the sides.more jewelry and accessories.
