Thrifting finds thanks to my Son and D-in-love.

 They keep an eye out for me...and this Batch of Dolls was from an original owner...and these are all in great condition except for one chewed on Ballerina...where I confiscated the excellent head with the attached crown.

The Ken Dude on the Left is pretty Cool.

Super Star Ken no. 2211 1977 Blue Velvet suit...shades of Robert Redford on the box. I think I can scramble together the missing pieces of this outfit. Flocked fabric doesn't wash well, so I will try and lightly clean it.

Sunset Malibu Ken Marked on head 1968, body 1970. This face was originally used for Talking Ken...in the late 60's. He's in great condition just needs a bath.
My guy is wearing the Bold Gold Suit from 1970 shown below.

(not mine) I think I can come up with everything to match this except the socks. Wow this outfit is going for $300 or so in the original packaging.

Superstar girl on Left. So many Superstar faces to go through.

The girl on the left is a 1980 Scottish Barbie from Dolls of the World
  ( 1966 TNT with Superstar face -angel face made in Taiwan). Surprisingly few SS were made with green eyes, red hair and green shadow...Sweet face, not so exaggerated as later ones where they look like their finger was stuck in a light socket.

Doll and head in Middle are Ballerina dolls from 73, 75 A Taiwan 1966 twist and turn body on the one.
I think both of these heads match the below girl
Barbie 9093

Pinterest On Tour 1976 Ballerina doll, with three outfits. I think I may have one of these. Most of these dolls were Platinum blonde. The crown is anchored heavily into the head. These were still the Mod dolls, though later.

Three more Superstars...hair in pretty good condition. 
Left girl has been head swapped..and has some neck ring inside damage. and well a clamp mark on her forehead...she may get donated. 

Girl in the Middle is one of a trillion...SS faces with blonde hair, except she has a diamond on the right hand, but she has that off center hairline...key for searching 
Golden Dreams Barbie #1874  from 1980. She also has 4 painted eyelashes on each eye. (special)

This girl on the right is marked the same Mattel 1966 Taiwan...but her coloring peach lips and hair and eyebrows and three eyelashes, match this.

Roller Skating Barbie 1980, #1880
my pinterest

Turquoise eye shadow and eyes with peach lips. So many Super Star faces it's hard to tell. But with the jewelry hole on her hand, I'm guessing this is a match.

These were the clothes they were wearing...all Mommy Handmade?  But, the construction and fit is excellent on all of them.

You just have to look at this construction.

Look at this work-woman-ship on this simple sundress...on a dress 
that is probably 45-50 years old.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Same on this one...fits perfectly and so well done.

The gold dress is quite nice a few threads pulled out here and there, (that kind of fabric is a pain to sew). 

The black evening gown is gold and silver on black, camera lost that also that stringy fabric that sheds, but every seam is clean and tight. 
The only one I may discard is the heavy polyester knit pink skirt with the white top...it's just two thick.

LOL, this car has been stripped, no steering wheel, seats or any extras...it has wheels, and maybe needs a 'REDO', ya think?  Fun Stickers though. It's small, which is it's asset as I'm running out of room. 

Thanks to my kids for the great batch of goodies. Now everyone is getting a bath and some a hair care.
