Your comments have informed me that the word "Titan" is actually "Titian" (pronounced "TISH-un"). I've been using it wrong this whole time! 🤪Thanks to all you experts for enlightening me! That's why I love this community.
I think i have been saying it wrong too 😂😂😂 if you look it up online searching titian hair, the little sound bite that says the word pronounces it ti shun with a short i sound. The description of the color is interesting.
@@kimmi6151Ohhh! Tishun, like "repetition". I get now! Thanks for keeping me informed.
I think I first saw that word as a descriptor for Nancy Drew’s hair color!
@@user-th1bw6yx3h Wow that's such a cool connection!
@@user-th1bw6yx3hsame!!
The 1973 doctor repro was originally just an outfit, not a dressed doll. #7700 Get Ups 'N Go.
Thanks for the clarification!
But the head used on that repro doll is the 1973 Quick Curl Barbie face on a 1960s MOD TNT body .
Unfortunately, there wasn’t a doctor Barbie produced. What they did was a create a DR fashion pack for your Barbie doll.
Ah that’s what I thought! Thanks for the verification
Love your collection. I feel like this set was worth the $200. It had 3 dolls and lots of vintage clothing. I would take out the earring so the green ear doesn’t get worse
I totally agree! Thanks for the guidance 🙏
I think you got more than your money's worth and helped someone in need.
Love your channel.
I agree! Thank you so much! 🥰
I think $200 is ok price if one has it 😊 Some of the accessories are worth a lot. Some vintage shoes I have gotten $50 for, just one pair, like, so I am sure you can sell if you need! Really nice collection and video!
Thank you for the insight and compliment! 🥰
I think you made out well RE price. Nice case. The Midge is the real star of that set to me since she's in her original box. Those Ken outfits look to be in good condition. I think that thing you thought might be wheels was actually a hand weight for Ken. Just the hangers go for $2 each often. The Bubble Cut is very pretty and I love that Ken. My sister had one like that. Love your enthusiasm and your kindness to that lady. I hope her dog is feeling better!
I’m so glad you agree it’s a wonderful collection. 🤗
I think this lot is "worth" $200 for sure. You've got three nice vintage dolls, several original Ken outfits, a nice case, and a bunch of homemade fashions that are themselves from the vintage era. A lot of collectors scoff at "mommy made" clothing, but I've always had a special place in my heart for such garments. Every time I get them in lots, I keep them, launder them, and treat them just as well as my Mattel vintage items. Some of the fashions I have were made by quite skilled sewists, and they were made with love for a child, which I think is beautiful and sweet. I think those are the best items in your haul, personally.
I would carefully remove the earrings on your Bubblecut, and use a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to clean away the surface residue near the earring holes, on the outside and the inside of the doll's head. Alcohol shouldn't disturb the doll's original paint, but try not to get it near the paint anyway, sometimes that paint can be fragile and it looks like it's in nice condition now. The dolls look nice and clean, but gently wiping them down with a mild soap and water would probably spruce them up a bit. Great lot, and even though I have all of the these items several times over, I probably would have done the same as you.
Thank you so much for the tips! I love your thoughts about the clothes. Someone who put time and care into making such small things by hand to make a child happy is indeed a heartwarming and lovely thing. 🥰
I played with Barbie exactly the same years as you did, mid 70s until the early 80s.
I’m not stoked over the 50s or 60s Barbies at all. Anyway funny story, as a kid my neighbor Jill owned 1974 made to move Ken. We got so tired of him moving, when we played with him we placed him in a make shift wheel chair and there he sat. What can I say we were 9! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You can say you were ahead of your time with diversity by putting Ken in a wheelchair 😄👍
Are you kidding me? You stole those Barbies!😂 That case alone is in pristine condition! Great video! Thanks for sharing and hope to see many more 😊
I agree, the case is fabulous! Love the retro artwork. Thanks for coming along with me! 🥰
Kada your reaction to Midge made me smile so big! Youre HILARIOUS and so is your husband and his comments off screen! Your all so charming and I think you got a great deal and did something nice for someone!! I love your channel so much! Merry Christmas!!
Awww you're always so kind, Bugsy! I'm glad you agree that I got a great deal. Merry Christmas to you too! 🥰
Your Midge looks cute. It's hard to find one that looks cute.
Thank you! I’m delighted about Midge. 🥰
Hi Kada you can get sharpie off if you put a dry erase marker over the desired area and it comes usually right off sometimes I have to repeat. Good luck
Oh interesting! I’ll try that, thanks!
A Barbie Body clarification that should but doesn't get talked about much.
If you don't count the Ballerina bodies all the dolls from 1971-1974 came in one of 2 bodies or using both bodies .
1- what i call flappers - used 1971-Present day (hand's fingers face front, palms back ) those bodies stand the test of time .
The Tan Lines Barbie body is an example .
2-The More prized bodies that used the talking Barbie arms .
for some reason those were made with materials that don't hold up so well and tend to have arms and legs break off over time .
but can be repaired by collectors who care .
Wow you know your stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Kada, you stay having the best Barbie adult selections ❤
😂
Awesome info thanks a lot
Thank YOU! ☺️
Hi,I think that collection is awesome and the price was a steal...lol The mommies made fashions are great love your channel and happy holidays to you and your family.
I agree, the homemade clothes are truly wonderful. Thank you so much! Happy holidays to you too! 🥰🤗
9:15 Right, Dr. Barbie was just an outfit
The repro you got has a 1960s TNT Body but a 1972-73 Quick Curl Barbie face .
The doll that came in the pink/white dress .
I love that face 😍
The very redhead barbies are referred to as titian pronounced (tee shun) just fyi. I love your vintage collection. The fashions seem to be in very nice condition. Vintage is my fav
I’m just learning that, funny! I’ve always pronounced it incorrectly 🤪
I think you got a great deal - amazing haul!
I think so too! 🥰
Love yer land speeder.
i got an original the Christmas year after the 1st movie (called episode 4) came out ,along with Darth Vader's space ship fighter and a few action figures .
which was Funny back then because i never expected Star Wars to become the hit it did even though i liked it .
Note, i saw Star Wars in the theater the month after Logan's Run .
Ha! My husband will be delighted to hear this! 😀
you really got a good deal specially the accessories, merry christmas,
Thank you, you too!
I think you got a good deal with the vintage Barbie dolls and case. And you helped a doggie get medical care too. Love those vintage Barbies! I still have mine from the early 60's. :)
I think so too. Ooh, how lovely that you still have yours! 😍
For someone like me living in Switzerland those Barbies with the case would be a dream to get for 200.- 😂💖☺️☺️ the bubble cut Barbie alone goes here for 200.- plus 🙈☺️
But I really enjoy your video and your extra informations about the dolls 💖 really funny and relaxing to watch ☺️ wish you a Merry Christmas 🎄🍾☺️
Wow good to know! Thanks so much for watching and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
@@kadawalden ☺️☺️
You got a great deal!
I think so too! ☺️
12:21 Nope the Malibu body is what you said (because of the tan lines body ) it is but the head is the 1972 original Malibu Barbie wearing 1 of the 1st 1960s swimsuits .
The head that came with the tan lines body is the same face used for Peaches and Cream Barbie .
Interesting!
The doctor Barbie might have just been a fashion pack.
That's what I'm hearing too. Good call! 🥰
The Ken and Barbie clothes that not have no label is clone clothes and can be worth money of they are well made
They are indeed well made 🤩😍
I had the Barbie with the 3 wigs…….it was great, you could get her wet and not ruin her hair
Yes! Love that!
I see Allan looking
He recognizes friends. ☺
Money well spend!❤
I’m glad you agree! 🤗
Also i think the doctor fashion from 73 was a get ups and go fashion.
Cool! I’d love to see it IRL someday
Barbies vinyl did not just turn green over time. It’s the earrings that rust and turn the vinyl green and brown. 😊
Thanks for the clarification
Also, the Barbie film has started the new myth that there was only one Allan. This is not true. Just like Ken had makeovers so did Allan. He had a few versions. People need to get better at Fact checking. That film has a whole bunch of wrong info on Barbie doll 😅😅😅
Good info! ☺
No 1973 Doctor Barbie was made only the outfit
That explains it!
What is it in the Barbie collector world? I have been looking for a barbie bubblecut since the 90’s and I can’t find one I can afford. Then the collectors that dont care for them have multiples. Its just not fair. Oh well. Time to go rescue a barbie from savers.
I've found that the more people who know I collect Barbies, the more I tend to find those deals. Sometimes I'm shy about telling people, but it often leads to great things! It'll happen for you. 🥰
They only made the outfit for Dr barbie not the actual doll
That makes sense now! Thanks!
@kadawalden you're welcome, I'm only 36, but have extensive knowledge of early barbie and an extensive collection of barbie from every era and I'm totally obsessed with 60's and 70's at the moment I ended up buying an original 76 super star barbie and ken new in box before Christmas and have unboxed them one of my best finds has been my original Brunette midge with her swimsuit at an antique store and a few hard to find complete outfits. I love your videos
It's not "titan", it's "titian", like the Renaissance artist Titian. It's pronounced 'TISH-un'.
Ohh! Thanks for that info!
Oh and ALSO 😅 Barbie dolls originally came in swimsuits because the whole POINT of the doll was to be what you wanted her to be 🤦🏽. She wasn’t down political icon she later became. “Doctor” Barbie… “Walmart” Barbie…. Mattel made all the money off the clothes. Back then the marketing was you had to keep coming back because you needed clothes for your doll. Now a days you buy a dressed doll and that’s it. It’s not as common to be able to buy great outfits for them. In Barbies early years it was common for a child to only have one or two dolls and have a wardrobe for them. Later the average number of dolls a kid had was like 7 or 8 dolls 😮😮😮
You know your stuff! 😀
Happy New Year! I wanted to double check so did a little online research, because I think your Sun Lovin’ Malibu Barbie may be a body swap. I think the body is 100% a Sun Lovin’ Malibu Barbie body (because of the “peekaboo tan lines”) but she was never released (to my knowledge) with the OG Malibu Stacey face? But I could be wrong because you can sometimes get rarities where a factory has used up whatever parts were available and you will get variants with the different heads, but usually by the late 70s it was all Superstar all the time.🧴☀️👙
Ohhh interesting! Wouldn’t surprise me cuz her head is easily swappable. Huh! Pretty sure I got mine at a thrift shop so who knows what her mysterious background is. 😄
