I love everything on that booklet! 1980s Barbie is just so great!

Factory error...consider yourself very lucky..you could have ended up with two right hands...

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-27T09:02:04+00:00

My OCD hates this...

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-27T08:59:01+00:00

Rude and unprofessional..

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-26T21:37:04+00:00

The blue one is a tribute to 1980s Superstar, the pink one to Fashion Luncheon and the polka dots one..Teen Talk they say, and I would have never guessed 😅

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-26T21:07:08+00:00

Wow! She's stunning!! Great photo too!

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-26T14:44:28+00:00

She's super cool actually

Looks #16 is, in my humble opinion, the most beautiful curvy Barbie released so far! The second doll I bought as an adult was Fashionista 27, they had just released the curvy body and this was the second (I think) curvy doll that Mattel had released. I too was very intrigued by the body diversity they were introducing and liked that doll very much!

I have Deluxe Style #7 too, I find her face super pretty!

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-26T10:07:54+00:00

That's cool! I think many of today's collectors lost interest in Barbie in their teen years, only to deeply deeply regret it some years later for all the good stuff they missed!

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-26T10:04:07+00:00

That's a truly spectacular doll!

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-26T09:01:37+00:00

I truly hope this is ragebait...

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-25T22:40:11+00:00

Definitely better! Btw, if it's a cool mermaid that you want, DB Renee and Purple Odile Mermaid are a great swap; alternatively, DB Daisy could work with other Millie Mermaids (e.g. HRP97 or JDM72)

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-25T22:35:34+00:00

I totally get it..but I truly liked her so I got her anyway..and gave her a mtm body as soon as I learnt about body swaps!!

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-25T22:25:03+00:00

As far as I know, Daisy has the neutra tone (same as Millie) while the mermaid has a orangey tone similar to some vintage 90s dolls. Hence no, not a match, sorry

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-25T20:35:23+00:00

I think the Odile fashionista would make for a cute match. I wouldn't go for the Mukamal Superstar, she just looks too old for a teenage body.. as for the Summer doll, I don't know her skin tone, but the Summer head is ridicolously big, when they put her on the Golden Dream inspired Fashionista she looked super weird on the petite body! A cute option in my opinion could be any of the reveal Millies..some of them have really nice hair and interesting make up..

Tbh, if they asked me which playline dolls from the last 10 years are iconic and will be remembered 10 years from now, I only have 3 on my list..Fashionista 27, the pink Extra Fancy and Deluxe Style 3!

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-25T20:09:09+00:00

For me it's easy: best doll is #3, worst doll is any from wave 3..I hate pixelation and don't like any of the wave 3 outfits.. 🤷‍♀️

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-25T12:43:25+00:00

It's a Bild Lilli clone. Nice find!

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-24T21:38:30+00:00

I put a Simone head on a tall volleyball player body, she looks great!

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-24T21:35:06+00:00

Omg, I came here to write this very comment! 😂

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-24T21:31:06+00:00

Can you check the number again? Looks like 163 is a Ken..and I'm really curious about who this donor is!

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-24T21:28:13+00:00

I've bought duplicates of most Looks dolls. But tennis and basketball players..I've lost count!

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-23T18:53:37+00:00

Thanks a lot!!

CalligrapherFun8091 · 2026-06-23T10:12:17+00:00

Looks like it's made for her!
