Vintage Barbie Flea Market Finds (Mod Barbie, Francie, Malibu PJ)

[@epowell4211]

You refreshed/restored that Francie perfectly - she looks exactly like what I remembered from childhood. She was my sister's favorite doll.

[@somelikeitvntg]

That is so sweet! Thank you!

[@dianathorpe2280]

Beautiful finds! You did a great job cleaning them up and redressing them. I love rescuing Barbies!! The flea market is the best!! My daughter and I go to the Nashville Flea Market.

[@Julie-qw5ld]

Wow! You do a wonderful job of restoration on the faces and hair. You selection of the white boots with the silver outfit is outstanding. You have a huge talent for choosing the right things.

[@somelikeitvntg]

I would have loved to see a video of the dolls before and after, I am a sucker for transformations hahah. Maybe next time? pleaseee :D

[@somelikeitvntg]

Yes! haha I will do my best to do a transformation on my next haul. I haven’t started fixing them up, so it will be a good opportunity for me to film the process.

[@cjdolls]

Such great finds, the dresses on the Francie and Barbie 16 are so cute that I’m going to look for them.

[@somelikeitvntg]

Thank you! I wish you dolly luck! 🍀

[@katie_and_her_dolls]

Nice finds! I love going to antique malls and flea markets so much to look for it doll finds. I especially love both the PJ's you got, PJ is so cute!

[@somelikeitvntg]

Yes! You’ll never know what you find. Thanks for watching!

[@allaboutdolls1238]

Oh my goodness thank you for filming twice!! I love seeing what you find❤ I recently went thrifting and found a totally hair barbie for a $1.50…she definitely needs a wash and a dress, shoes, but she did come with her earrings, ring, and headband so not too bad ☺️. But again thank you for sharing your Barbies❤

[@somelikeitvntg]

Oh that’s a great find! I would love to find a brunette Totally hair to add to my collection. I wish you luck on your future finds!

[@carolynmarshall-mahan8353]

Score! Love the redo hairstyle. Great clean-up job. Accidental Slow-mo… I did that once, but have “recorded” several times, only to discover I forget to press record.😜 Beautiful dolls!👍

[@somelikeitvntg]

Thank you! I hate accidental slow-mo! I'm really not sure why my camera even offers that feature lol

[@DebsDollRoom]

What amazing finds! So happy for you.

[@somelikeitvntg]

Thank you so much! I had so much fun that day

[@omarrodriguez-xu2wl]

Maravillosas muñecas MOD! 🤩🤩Talking P.J. es genial, me encanta! Ten mucho cuidado al mover sus brazos y piernas, se rompen muy fácilmente.

[@somelikeitvntg]

Gracias por advisarme! Tendré cuidado con ella!

[@nicolabazzigotti909]

This morning I found a black Barbie magic movie, and no bangs Francie doll 1971 for €8, very good conditions 😍

[@ravenconnli6618]

Such good finds!❤ wishing you luck on future ones!

[@somelikeitvntg]

Thank you! 🍀

[@ThatGuyGabeToo]

OMG!!!! You didn't tell me you found one I thought you meant the PJ from the repro set!!! She's a shut up PJ! XDDD All of them were great deals Manny I usually find them cheaper BUT all of mine are fixer uppers and filthy when I find them! And I find MOD and vintage dolls once in a blue moon, you have scored so many in such little time!!!! I have a European Standard Barbie you can have so she's a pale PJ right before getting tan! And I might have pink pilgrim shoes too I need to check my stash!!!

[@somelikeitvntg]

Yes! Thats my Pj! love her! Omgosh I’ve been wanting a European standard Barbie! 😭 Thank you! Oh and the pilgrim shoes! I can’t seem to find shoes anywhere at my flea markets.

[@BradDePlanche]

Would you consider making a tutorial video on restoring Growing Pretty Hair Francie’s hair style?❤

[@richardswinbusk7787]

Magnificent Manny! I remember all of them when they first came out! As you probably know PJ 's head mold is Midge's except with brown eyes and heavy eyeliner which looks great with her platinum blonde pigtails As for the Malibu Barbie there was a Canadian exclusive repro years later circa early 2000's Great dolls and deals❤❤

[@somelikeitvntg]

Yes, talking Pj is lovely! I love the updated screening they did on the Midge sculpt. I did not know about the Canadian exclusive Malibu Barbie. Are you Canadian?

[@richardswinbusk7787]

@@somelikeitvntg Yes from Toronto

[@happyjose21]

Another great haul, love that Francie. I think I have spare Malibu bodies in my garage, I’ll check, if I do, I’ll send you one

[@somelikeitvntg]

Oh, I would love a spare Malibu body! Thank you :))

[@bryeninety-four1870]

6:00 That fashion is also called Silver Sparkle. Mattel used the name Salute To Silver on that dress when it came free when you buy an introductory promo of Talk Magazine.

[@somelikeitvntg]

Great info! Thank you!

[@iamsoverybored878]

It's quite easy to make those beaded hair ties i did it years ago. I have the TNT version. I have so much of those yellow pilgrim shoes it was what came with the outfits. I also have that silver dress it came with my Stacey but no doll is wearing it.

[@somelikeitvntg]

Yes, I’m hoping to look for some similar beads in the craft store

[@Spidrick]

Amazing finds Manny!

[@somelikeitvntg]

Thank you :) 💕

[@PlayfulCrafts]

So beautiful all of them! Oh that Francie... I recently found the silkstone body of the Fuchsia N Fur Francie. Just the body, €24. Now I need a head, mmm... Cool finds, thanks Manny! (Edit: it's 2 AM here, I don't know what I'm saying! 😊)

[@somelikeitvntg]

Oh nice! That’s a lovely francie! I hope you find her head!

[@PlayfulCrafts]

@@somelikeitvntg Hi! I'll probably use a vintage Francie head and shade her with panpastel to make her skin match. Or maybe I'll acetone-shrink a Madison My Scene head... This second option is a bit crazy, but I have a side-smiling rare head that may work 🤞

[@somelikeitvntg]

@@PlayfulCrafts Cool! What does a shrunken Madison head look like?

[@PlayfulCrafts]

@@somelikeitvntg I hope it doesn't look like a zombie hehe! I'll probably upload a video when it's done, I'll keep you informed😉 Thanks Manny! ❤️

[@somelikeitvntg]

@PlayfulCrafts Nice! I’ve seen shrunken monster high and Ever After High heads before. The ever after high ones look great!

[@dontcallmedoll]

Great finds, shocked to see how deep the tan of an original Malibu PJ is 😮 my repro from the three Pack set is barely tan 😅 not very faithfully reproduced 🙈

[@somelikeitvntg]

Yes! And the blonde hair on the original is more of a sandy blonde, while the repro is more platinum

[@compactgirl]

You're in California that's kool. I'm in California too central valley. Anywho love your finds they are beautiful, I love going to the swapmeets. What flee market did you visit?

[@somelikeitvntg]

Thank you! I go to the Rosebowl and Long Beach flea!

[@compactgirl]

@@somelikeitvntg kool I've seen other utuber post about the rosa bowl it's four hours from where I live maybe one day I'm gonna have to go check it out thank you for sharing.

[@andreap2320]

I love your taste!

[@somelikeitvntg]

Thank you :)!

[@CeyaWeya]

I am loving your videos and they are so informative! Can you tell me how you cleaned the metallic dresses? I have several that are very dingy. And I don't know how to clean them properly.

[@somelikeitvntg]

Hello! The metallic dresses I washed in room temperature water with a little bit of dish soap. I like to use Dawn dish detergent. Dawn makes one without fragrance and dyes. I like to make sure the water is nice and bubbly before putting the dress in. I leave it soaking for 15-30 min and rinse with cold water.

[@jackt4048]

I have Malibu pj

[@AxelAxelAxel24]

Hi there! Just found your channel and I’m really loving it so far 🥰 I have a question tho, I have a Barbie from the 90’s and she’s got some “stains” in her face and since you mentioned peroxide I was wondering if I apply it to her sculpt it won’t erase her face. If you or anybody could help me I’ll appreciate it 🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@somelikeitvntg]

Benzoyl Peroxide shouldn’t remove factory paint. I have not tried it on a custom painted doll though. So as long as your doll is not custom painted, she should be fine. You want to use 10% benzoyl and strong UV sunlight. I also wrap the head in plastic to avoid it drying out too fast. Also be careful not to get any in the hair as it can bleach the hair.
