Issued to celebrate Barbie's 50th anniversary, this is a reproduction of the 1962 brunette 'bubblecut' doll, with a bonus era-appropriate fashion also included in the package.
Dressed in her standard jersey-cut red swimsuit, the brunette bubblecut doll also wears pearl stud earrings and red open-toed mules. The bubblecut hairstyle was introduced in 1962, proving to be very popular at the time--partially inspired by the look and glamour of Jackie Kennedy. Collectors of vintage Barbie also particularly love the bubblecut dolls; the rare "sidepart bubblecut" being a highly sought-after variation which was only produced for a short time.
My only quibble with this reissue lies in the quality of the hair. Original bubblecuts (and earlier repros like "Silken Flame" and "Career Girl") were much more realistic. The hair on this current repro is far too bouffant; Barbie looks like she's overdosed on hairspray!
Also included in this package is a reproduction of "Enchanted Evening", one of Barbie's most desirable and popular gowns of the era. A delicate, strapless gown made of frosted pink satin, with a white faux fur stole. Long white gloves, triple-strand pearl necklace, pearl stud earrings and sparkly open-toed pumps complete this elegant gown.
This is a classic doll reproduction; perfect for the Barbie collector in your family.Buy Barbie My Favorite Time Capsule 1962 Brunette Bubble Cut Doll!
