You can tell this is one of the fashion eras that you particularly enjoy. The vibe of 60's swiniging London crossing the Atlantic. The mixture of fabrics from clear plastics to nylon, eith bold prints. A fun time indeed

Great video! I am French and started to buy Barbie dolls in the late 60s, the mod era. I have a talking Barbie and two others, Francie with blond growing hair, a blond and a red-haired Stacey, two Skippers one red-haired, and a blond one with long curly pigtails. I have all the Mod fashion in pristine condition. My sister has passed away and her dolls remind me of her. I now live in London and I keep on collecting. And Carnaby Street is my favorite place.

I love the Mod dolls & fashions. I had some of my sister's Vintage dolls & always "cast" them as the parents or older siblings in my little play stories. I played with Barbies as a kid through the 70's, so I had the Malibu line and the Quick Curls and Free Moving dolls. But, every now and then I would see a Mod doll at a friend's house (their sibs were closer in age than mine) and I was SICK with wanting those gorgeous dolls & fashions. They were wild & exotic to me then. Now, I just treasure them alongside the Vintage dolls I collect. I NEED a TNT or Talking Christie doll. I have a Malibu Christie and a Julia (love them both) and recently got a (mute) Talking Brad in AMAZING condition, but I need the earlier Christie. I'm going to an exciting Barbie event in a few weeks and am saving up my pennies, hoping I'll find her there. This will be a video to rewatch several times so I can take it all in! Thank you!

I read in an old issue of Barbie Bazaar that in the mid 1960s there was a real dilemma with the designers at Mattel whether or not to transition Barbie into the mod era. Fashion was changing so rapidly and Barbie's image had already been established. Francie was created as a test to see how well Mod inspired designs would sell. Francie dolls actually out sold Barbie in 1966 so the final decision was made to update Barbie.

My sister always preferred Francie over Barbie. As kids, we both thought the figure of Barbie was ridiculous, and Francie had a more natural/normal look. My only issue with her (as a child) was that she looked weak and sickly lol. Sleepy doe eyes, pale skin, flushed cheeks, petite stature - all said longterm illness to me - so even though I wanted a less ridiculous/more realistic figure, I wasn't happy until I got a Dusty :D I really want to add a Francie to my collection, more because of my sister than any particular affinity for her, although as an adult, I find her very sweet and charming. I was first going to say, "They should bring Francie back!" then I realized they sort of have with all the petite Barbies. Side note: we had that green/blue/yellow striped dress and the pretty pink. Those Skippers are beautiful! I definitely want one :) Walking Jamie is so pretty - she's got the sweetness of Francie but looks healthy lol. Love your passion - thanks for sharing! I especially love your videos where you show/compare a large number of dolls. Always so informative! Have you thought about doing a video about all the gimmick dolls? Like, talking, busy hands, dancing, winking, etc? It would be interesting to see all the different innovations. I'd even enjoy a study of the different body types over the decades and how they changed.
@Thedollswitness4 ай бұрын
Thanks so much! I think Mattel produced the smaller body type due to Twiggy and her petite frame taking the world by storm. I do love the smaller dolls from the era. So cute. And good idea about the gimmicky dolls! Love how they were always looking to innovate and add some new appeal. Happy to hear you’re enjoying the vids!❤️❤️❤️❤️
