To address some of the comments, I was not aware how may of these dolls were mislabeled by the seller and apparently most are not as “vintage” as I might have thought based on the years. This was an honest mistake and my fault for not researching better. I definitely was a bit suspicious with some of the names and dates, so I’m not super surprised. Regardless of most of the dolls being mislabeled, I still hope you enjoyed watching, I know I had a very fun time unboxing these :)

One tip: Often Barbies are labeled 1966 (not another year) when they are not that old. You see, some Barbies have a code nr. 1966 on the back, which doesn't stand for a year. The Barbies with that code nr on the back were mostly from the '90s and '00s, I think.

Great video! The Barbie's marked 1966, are not actually from that year. Many people think that. They have the 1966 TNT body. That's tge year that body was created. It had the snap knees and the twist waist. Mattel used to put the date of the body, on the butt and then,inside the rim of the head, they put the date of the face mold. I don't know if they still do that with the newer Fashionists Barbies. The Ken with the flocked hair, looks like a clone for me. Maybe from the late 70's or the early to mid eighties. I'm really just guessing on that time frame. What a really super nice gift you received from your grandmother. The doll marked Roller Derby, her face looks like a Malibu Barbie that came in a light blue swimsuit,but I'm not sure. Maybe someone curled her hair. Again not sure. A really fun & generous gift. You always have fun videos!!

Most are modern dolls in vintage clothing. 1966 and 1999 is the year the body mold was made. Face molds are marked on the back of the head, but it's the year the mold was made, not the doll. The oldest Barbie there is from the 1970s the one in the roller clothing. The Ken in the purple jacket might be a New kid's on the block doll. Most of those dolls are from the 2000s.

Barbie's twist and turn body was patented in 1966. Dolls retained that date on their backside for many, many years, but it does not indicate the year the dolls were made.

If your gran got those from a flea market or antique mall, it's understandable that the one doll labeled 1966 is mislabeled. The body mold was trademarked in 66 and is commonly referred to as the twist and turn body. This body mold was kept in production until mid to late 90s. All vintage Barbie collectors know this, but most re salers do not. There is always someone at a random flea market claiming they have 1966 dolls. They almost always have crusty old dolls from the 80s.😢 Edit - more than one doll mislabeled 1966.
@jopayne56175 ай бұрын
@@joannlee7239 You are totally correct. Too many re'sellers never research Barbie, they see the copyright for the body, the year it was made, and think the doll is from then. I have daughters, all three born after 1990, and several of their dolls, bought new, said 1966, but not the year I bought them. I had the original dolls from the 1966, they do not have the smiling face, it is from 1977. I do like you 'channel', and enjoy your presentations.

It might be kind of fun to ask your viewers if they know what the actual dolls are so that those who know can share their knowledge and we can all learn.

The dates are probably what is labeled on their body. That‘s whenever the body molds were patented, not when the doll itself came out. Dolls from the 90s and 00s will be labeled 1966, 1968, 1989 etc… also the names on the notes are off. I guess that the seller came up with these names based on the clothes. From what I know about Mattel face molds, I think you mostly got dolls from ca 1997 to 2014. But there is a gem which looked like she came from the 60s or 70s because she used the Malibu Barbie face mold.
