I think this was the first year for low cost basic beach dolls which became very popular over the years. I still need to get the Ken for this series but haven't really been looking too hard (and for the time being I have put a hold on any doll buying unless it is something special and a great price).
P.J., Christie and Barbie are my favorites in this series. Christie is the only one that I have the original swimsuit for, and she had her sunglasses still attached to her head. Francie is my least favorite. She is actually the Casey facemold which I think was a kind of copout. The Skipper is okay, she has beautiful think long hair.
The project continues! The Husband and I are limiting are time out in public so I should get a lot more of this done along with sewing.
Thanks for stopping by ..........
I had the Sunset Malibu Barbie as a girl, and my sister had the Malibu Skipper. I think I would have enjoyed having the other dolls to play with too.
ReplyDeleteI love the entire Sunset Malibu series and my favorites are PJ and Skipper for their eyes - PJ's purple gaze and Skipper's smiling eyes. Lovely, lovely dolls!
ReplyDeleteLovely collection.
