"Dances like a Dad at a wedding" os my favorite description of the way most dancing dolls move 😂

I'm surprised Starr wasn't in this! She was Mattel's first attempt at a high school teenager, and her and her friends Kelley and Tracy had their head molds reused for Jazzie and Chelsea as well as Heart Family Mom!

Can't wait for the 80s edition ❤😊. There sure were a lot of questionable choices made for some dolls face molds...didn't they have any quality control? Maybe the companies just didn't care...

I really wish modern Barbie sets would return to more "natural" colours like in the seventies, not pink everywhere.

You forgot to mention, of course, the 6 million Dollar Man, and the bionic woman dolls. I have these dolls, and I really love them. I have a lot of the other dolls that you mentioned here as well.

I inherited my Mom's Dawn dolls as a kid and absolutely loved them. They had such cute and detailed clothing and I adored the gogo boots.

I'm probably around your mom's age... I remember having several Dawn dolls... I was very much attached to a brunette one because I had brown hair and not many dolls did in the 70s... She had a gold glitter and lavender chiffon evening gown and she stood on top of a little music box which I still have. She had holes in the bottom of her feet that attached her to the top and when you want it up it would play a tune and she would spin. The other one I remember best had a hot pink mini dress with white crochet trim and white go-go boots. I had the Tuesday Taylor doll that's mentioned in the video as well as the 1977 Barbie in the hot pink evening gown with the bent arms and the boa!

Aww, Blythe dolls weren't on this list! She was quickly pulled off shelves in the early 70s after just a year, because she was seen as too creepy and did not do well. However, about twenty years ago she gained insane popularity in Japan and a lot of eastern Asia. Now she has been revived and produced and she is FAB!

I was surprised he didn’t mention Bionic Woman. Apparently she was very popular and my mom has one.

I had the Barbie camper and the dune buggy that pulled the pop up trailer. I kept them to show my own children. I also owned the curling hair Barbie and it did work until you played with it too long and it started to break. The 70’s were definitely the decade I played with all sorts of dolls

Joey, please make the 80s a 2-parter. 🤓 The 80s were THE toy and doll years! 👋🏼🤗♥️

I was ten in 71 so this is right up my alley.

It’s like you were in my childhood home. My sister and I had many of these dolls/ accessories. I still have many. Holly Hobby was also a popular one. We also had the Mattel baby dolls called Tender Love. We had the girl dolls. There was a baby brother doll that I remember was controversial because he had his “ boy parts”. Another was the Drowsy doll, a soft bodied doll that talked with a pull string. Thanks for the memories.

Oh, this was my time. I LOVED so many of these! I've realized that my mom's love language was buying things for people & she loved me to pieces, judging from the huge number of dolls she bought me. lol I had all the Malibu dolls (Barbie, Ken, PJ, Francie, Skipper) w a clone brand pool/cabana set. Had the Barbie townhouse ( you could hook the tab on the end of the string under floors to hold it at each level.... and sometimes have spectacular crashes mis-doing that) and a Camper... Quick Curl Kelly, Olympic high bar with Gold Medal Barbie, Walk Lively Miss America, Busy Barbie, Sweet 16 Barbie. I even had Growing Up Skipper. :) Also had the Sunshine Family. Their babies were awesome as Barbie babies (cutest part of that set imo). I had a Crissy and Baby Beans. Also had 3 ft tall Raggedy Anne & Andy at the foot of my bed, with no idea that Anne would be the basis for a murder doll, thx for the nightmare fuel. ;) I only had a few Dawn dolls, but thought them GORGEOUS (still think that, green knees aside). My neighbor (friend ( played Barbie w most) got a Superstar Barbie & Ken. So, to be different, I got Beauty Secrets Barbie and she became my FAVORITE. Good times!

Love this. I remember getting Superstar Barbie for xmas 1977. Haha yes the Dusty doll was rather unattractive- well I used mine as a Ken substitute and renamed her "Craig." Baby Alive, some friends had her, she ate and wet her nappy. Sunshine family dolls came with a jeep and playhouse, I remember getting them from the oppshop.

The Star Wars "large size action figures" came out in the 70s, and were the right size to play with my Super Star Barbie. I loved including Barbie in my Star Wars play, and making her a bad-ass Rebel. The Princess Leia from that line came with instructions for doing her hair up in all kinds of crazy "space" hair-dos.

Don't forget JEM when you do the 80s ! [I'm technically a 70s kid, born '71 but 80s was more 'my era' ]

I loved the Twist and Turn Barbie and others with her face mold, which I believe is the PJ mold? I also had a few Dawn dolls, and a Crissy. I loved her growing hair :) I didn't really have any other dolls except for my older Barbies.

Jinkies, do I remember these dolls! Of course I had a Malibu Barbie, she was my first Barbie. Also had a couple of the Dawn dolls, and a Baby Alive (didn't care much for her due to the end result of feeding the doll). And I can still hear the Tiffany Taylor jingle in my head!

Great video! Mimi was a 19” doll in the 70s by Remco with a Barbie vibe (long blonde hair and cute clothes). She had a tiny record player in her back to sing “I’d like to teach the world to sing”. Another fun part was her separate outfits were all international so each of those had a record for that same song, in the language represented by the outfit/country.

Have the ‘79 A-Frame. Had it growing up as well and the most annoying thing other kids would ask when they came over to play was “how does she get upstairs?” (Once had someone demand stairs and flip the windows up to use as stairs 🤨) The amount of kids that would complain about there being no stairs... Like, it’s the Barbie Dream House and you are complaining about it? I would say the A-Frame is my favorite because of how it opened up and made it easier not only to play but create new set ups.

I grew up with my aunt’s chrissy doll, I love her so much. Apparently it was very common for people to make their own clothes for Chrissy’s and madam Alexander baby dolls of the time, so my chrissy has a handmade denim skirt and hand crocheted sweater. I just love her

The Sunshine family stares into your SOUL!

These are fun! I'm surprised you didn't mention Strawberry Shortcake- she's mostly associated with the 80s, but I believe the doll line started in '79. I can't wait to see you cover the 80s- I was born in '81 and am very fond of all the classic girls toy lines of that decade. 😊

What color hair did Cara have? Mine had the red hair and I played with her until her hair broke off. I loved her orange hair tool. You had the camper van so you know how Barbie loved to use orange plastic. Good times 💜

Here in Norway we had a very popular doll called Tjorven. She was named after a swedish TVcharater made up by the swedish author Astrid Lingren, but the doll itself had nothing to do with the TV series. She was made in Italy buy a company called Ratti. She had a mischievous expression on her face. She came with different hair colurs, and had her own clothes line. And a lot of patterns for knitting and crocheting clothes for her. You could also get our national costume bunad for her. You cold get her as the Astrid Lingen character Pipi, and this doll was supposed to resemble the character. In Demark they had a doll called Pusle. She was also made by the Ratti company, had the same body as Tjorven but a different headsculp. More a cute face not so mischievous.

I think my sister has those Honey dolls or dolls similar to them. She was born in the 80s but knew most or all things 70s. She and I grew up with Raggedy Ann and Andy! My mother still has a Raggedy Ann doll and I've watched the movie based on the dolls and most of the show also!

Thanks for the video. Brings back lots of memories. I had lots of dolls and items pictured. Some were hand-me-downs for older cousins, My favorite was superstar Barbie and ken and also fashion photo pj and beauty secrets Barbie had bendable arms. Superstar Ken was the best because he could actually tilt his head to kiss Barbie. Oh what an invention.😊❤

Loving this video! I was born in 69 and my sis in 65, so late 60s/70s dolls were my childhood

The sunshine dolls are even creepier when their eyes fall out. So creepy.

Oh Joey! Thank you for the trip down memory lane! I had Malibu Barbie, Ken, Skipper and the Country Camper! I played the HECK out of them! I also had Dawn and Chrissy! 💕

Ughhhh I just love all these adorable little 70s outfits

Another doll from the 70's was Finger ding Doll. They were ballerina dolls and we girls put our index and middle fingers into their stockings to become the legs of the doll thus making her able to walk and dance.

I love these videos so much Joey keep making them, I also feel like this is one of the best eras for Barbie in my opinion ❤

I just love to watch your videos, it’s kinda relaxing 💕

yes! i loved trixie mattel’s series but it focused solely on barbie, i’m so excited to see the other brands as well!!

Rock flower dolls…new doll obsession unlocked 😭

Ah I’ve been waiting for this😍💕

This is such a nostalgia trip for me. I'm a child of the 70s and had all the Malibu dolls as we were living in California at the time. I also had Busy Barbie and the camper van and the swimming pool. Mod Ken was a kick. The sideburns never really stuck on right. I adored the little Dawn dolls. They were so tiny! I had several of them, both girls and boys. Also had some Rock Flowers. Their clothes were really cute. The Jody dolls were also really cute and had awesome play sets. I have the Country Store and it's adorable. Lots of accessories including a pot bellied stove. Mattel needs to reissue some version of the Sunshine Family. The best thing about them was every doll and play set came with a little booklet with instructions to make clothing, furniture or accessories using things around the house. The whole line was inspired by the return to nature movement. They were all the best bits of commune living without crazy cult leaders or wild infighting. They were all just happy living off the land, growing organic and doing macrame...Thanks for the trip Joey!

In 1976-77 Fisher-Price introduced the very first "My Friend" doll...Mandy. Followed by her friends, Jenny, Becky, Mikey, and Nicki. Each doll was 15 inches (38.1 cm) tall and had a hard plastic head with brushable rooted hair. Their bodies were soft and they had hard plastic arms and legs. Their arms were floppy and their bodies could bend at the waist so they could sit. Each doll came with its own outfit, but there were other doll fashions sold separately. Fisher-Price also made sewing patterns so additional outfits could be made. This ended roughly when mass market Cabbage Patch Kid doll craze came along.

I had so many of these. I had Malibu and Superstar (and bought the reproductions when they were released in 2009 or so). Had Donny and Marie (I lost my original Marie when I took her swimming in Colorado at a campground) so I got another one. I had Charlie's Angels, I had Cher, Bionic Woman, Quick Curl Barbie, Olympic Barbie and Ken, Quick Curl Barbie (I think Ken as well). Had Tiffany Taylor and yes she was huge. I also had Suntan Tuesday Taylor, she was fun to put in the sun and had stickers you could put on her. I also had the Honey Hill Bunch and the Sunshine Family. Every Christmas, my birthday, Easter and other times I always got another doll.

Joey Stivick, Archie Bunkers Grandson Doll, baby alive and Sunshine Family were my favs besides Barbie.

I hope dolls of the 80s include Rainbow Brite and Strawberry Shortcake.

I remember Jody the Country Girl Doll! We had the Sunshine Family dolls and the large and small Star Wars, don’t forget those!

OMG! I had the Malibu Barbie, Mod Ken with the side burns, and the Barbie house with the elevator. Thank you for the video! It was fun to see toys from the 1970s. I look forward to sharing this video with my 9 year old granddaughter.

Before they "accidently" made Ken gay, they made him into an adult film star 🤣🤣🤣 That 'stache. How did that Dusty doll pass through all the prerequisites and make it to production?? When he said that was one ugly doll. I was like read my mind. I was literally speechless

I have that 71 TV! I knew just by looking it was a old TV but the year was a mystery until now! Thank you Joey!

So neat to see some of my Barbie toys on here. Had the camper and Quick Curl Barbie along with a Barbie Beauty Parlor. Fun fact - Quick Curl Barbie's hair soon turns into a stiff mass and the tiny wires turn the blonde hair green! Loved Dawn dolls, still want a Chrissy doll (She reminds me of Marlo Thomas in "That Girl") and was surprised that as soon as you said "Tiffany Taylor" I heard the jingle from her commercials in my head! "Dances like your Dad at a wedding" Too bad Mattel didn't think of that line!

I've just purchaseed a Tiffany Taylor in the original gold one piece on ebay! Love her!

Really enjoyed this playlist: my mom and I are two different generations of people who grew up playing Barbies so it has been great to bridge the gap a bit and understand what was around when she was young.

No no no! We cannot forget the My Friend Mandy doll and her friends first released in 1977 by Fisher Price. Other than Barbie, Mandy was my favorite doll as a child. I don't still have my childhood doll but I have a Mandy that I thrifted.

I loved Dawn. Had her and her friends and lots of fashions.

Dawn will dazzle little girls with over 75 stunning outfits

First, I LOVE your videos! You seem like such a nice person and I enjoy your humor and opinions. Second, I see soooooo many comments listing dolls you didn’t include….so I would love it if you would do another 1970s dolls video. There’s such nostalgia and cringe in those toys!

My (repro) Superstar Barbie is one of my favorite dolls in my collection. I just love to look at her!

My auntie inheritted a hole briefcase worth of Dawn dolls that I would later play with!! Some of the outfits in this videos I recognize from that little doll collection! I think she had 60s and 70s Barbies too but they were in really bad conditions from I’m assuming heat and humidity. 😬

Oh my god you brought back my childhood! I had every single doll that was a fashion doll during this time and a few of the other dolls as well. A doll that was very much big during this time were dolls very similar to Jody and the Sunshine dolls that were made to look like dolls of different eras. They came out during the bicentennial of 1976. I forget what they were called but I had all of them and loved them.

56 y.o here. This is my childhood! Sis had an Ideal Growing hair Crissy & I had her sister Velvet. Best dolls ever. They always had this distinct plastic smell I've never forgotten(probably lead paint lol). They were great but lots of little girls cut the hair off cos they thought it would grow back.(e.g me) Shame you couldn't buy replacement hair. I wanted Barbie's campervan but it was too expensive for my single mum. Still want one! I also had a bunch of Bradley dolls. I loved them so much. They were stocking dolls with anime faces on period costumes.Just gorgeous.

"Hi Barbie!" Was that Casey Casum's voice on the Rock Flower commercial? He was a Radio DJ n did a top 10(?) song show on tv!!! I'm loving it...

Dawn Dolls! I have a collection of these dolls. I am still missing Dale, and several of the boys. I have found them (at times) but I can't afford them. I did get a Jody doll on a whim, but it is strange. She is cute, but... She seem like a Barbie type doll, but she is too short (9"); however, she is not like a Skipper doll, either.

Had pretty much all of these dolls prior to ‘76, but I did have the Honey Hill Bunch from that year. Loved my Malibu Barbie and the Country Camper most of all, but was heavily invested in my Tiffany Taylor doll. I remember that I couldn’t sleep at all that Christmas Eve waiting to get my hands on her. I also loved my weird little Sunshine Family. They had the cutest little house and other accessories. One doll that wasn’t mentioned was Dinah-mite. She wasn’t very attractive but was around 8 inches and very articulated in a much more sturdy fashion than the typical rubber-covered wire of those days. She had a beach house that was really cute, too. I believe she was made by Mego.

I’m so happy I still have some of my dolls from the 70’s 💕

My sister and I had Dawn Dolls and Rock Flower dolls when they came out and I still have them. We also had all of the Malibu Sunset dolls except Barbie and a lot of the bargain fashions, which I still have in mint condition. My favorite was Francie.

12:46 when looking at the dolls with darker eyes, I got a "makin' up a song about Coraline" vibe XD

I’m trying to track down a Barbie doll that my mother had as a young girl! So these decade videos are a BIG help!

I had a huge Dawn Doll collection and this cool house/carrying case for them too!

Fun blast from the past video.😃 I still have that yellow and orange Barbie camper and that same Barbie Dream House. Other fun items from that time are: the 1973 Barbie Beach van. It’s blue and was quickly featured in the recent Barbie movie. There is a Barbie surfer 🏄‍♀️ on one side and a Barbie swimming on the other side. Another fun item was the 1976 Barbie Star Traveling Motorhome. Love it. And the Dusty Bubblin’ Bath n’ Shower. I still have this and used it for my Barbies since I didn’t like Dusty. I found it so magical as a child. A beautiful color palette. I have it on display as we speak.☺️

I was born in 1960. I LOVED the Dawn dolls! The 1970s were a great time for dolls. I had a Mia (part of the Chrissy line). I still have my bubble Malibu Francie doll (which uses the 1960s Casey face sculpt). I also had the Sunshine Family. Nice review!

I had most of these dolls when I was a kid in the 70's. I wish I still had them.

I still have my beloved Marie Osmond doll! Her original clothes are missing, though.

I still have all of my Dawn dolls and the Woodstock blonde Barbie with her dance stand. I had Raggedy Ann and Andy. Had a Tressy doll.

Bonus 70s content at 7:13 is that the voice on the Rock Flowers commercial is none other than Casey Kasem, legendary disc jockey and host of the American Top 40 radio countdown.

Great video! Would you ever do a haunted doll video for Halloween season?

This was my era of dolls. I had the Malibu Barbie the tent and camper and airplane. One year I got the talking Barbie and quick curl Skipper for Christmas. And my sister broke the talking Barbie's head off that same day. I still have the Malibu Barbie and quick curl Skipper. I had the ballerina Barbie. I had several Topper Dawn dolls. I still have about 6 of the ones from childhood. I still have my Chrissy doll. I had the Buffy and the Mrs.Beasley dolls. The last childhood doll I got was the Superstar Barbie. When my son was a toddler he broke her head off. I still have her. He was 2. The doll was 14 then. I didn't start collecting dolls until I was in my late twenties. I wish I still had all the dolls I sold when I was 12. I also still have my Sunshine Family

I had Dawn, Malibu Barbie and Ken, the Happy Family, JJ Honey Hill Bunch, Baby Chrissy, Baby Tender Love, and a Barbie sized Princess Leia doll.

The Dawn dolls lasted for a longer period than the Rock Flowers. The original Dawn series included blonde Dawn, brunette Angie, redheaded Glori (with bangs), and (Black) Dale (with an Afro). Two more dolls - Jessica (light brown hair) and Longlocks (mid-thigh length dark brown hair) came after. There was also an additional-featured Dawn (I don't remember if it was bendable knees or a twist-and-turn waist), and I recall two additional friends being added later on. The Rock Flowers were just the three dolls (my sister had one of them, I don't remember which). We were disappointed that we couldn't get the other two records... Edit: there's more detail on the collection on Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_doll It turns out the second Dawn I got (I also had Angie and Glori, and I don't remember if it was me or my sister who had Longlocks) was a Dancing Dawn.

Great job as always! I certainly enjoy your content, and this week especially as I am a child of the f1970s. I attached myself to Barbie in 1975 when I got my first Malibu Barbie (red bathing suit). I played with her in the tub, in my room, and we shared many adventures. When I received Superstar Barbie my true collecting spirit was awakened although she was still my play doll. Then I received Superstar Ken for Christmas and the adventures never stopped! Looking forward to the 1980s episode I hope you are making... I amassed some iconic dolls from that decade, too! The one doll I was hoping you would include in the f1970s was My Friend Mandy doll by Fisher-Price. She was a beautifully made blonde doll that was a pre-teen or little girl. She came with tights, flats, a pink dress, and a darling hat with a ribbon! I also had her friend "Jenny" who was a brunette - like me! Such lovely dolls. Oh, and what about Darci, the fashion model doll?! So well made! She was EVERYTHING and came with her own portfolio with quality fashion shots. She had bangle bracelets and the BEST hair ever! Thank you for your tireless work and entertaining and nostalgic content.

I still have my Dawn Dolls !!

Oh, wow. This is like a visit to my chikdhood. I have probably 75 percent of these dolls in the playroom closet.
