Vintage Talking Julia Barbie (1971) - Mod Doll - Unboxing & Review

Hello and welcome back! This time around, my friend Dean and I unbox the 1971 version of Talking Julia! (A groundbreaking TV character played by the legendary Diahann Carrol and one of the famous Mattel celebrity fashion dolls from the Mod era.) There's also a super-quick ride through most of my doll collection. I hope you like, comment, share and subscribe! Many thanks to Dean Reen (@dollyhead on Instagram and Dean Reen on KZread: / deanreen ) for his assistance in presenting and editing this video for me. To see some more of my collection, head over to Instagram @fashiondolldreamer

    LOL I usually am, too! But I already had an NRFB version of that doll and this one had a damaged box so was bought to open... but yes, I am still freaked out as I'm afraid I might break one of those Talking dolls with their now-fragile limbs!

    Hi there! Yes, most of them do stop talking, due to the rubber band inside the talking mechanism disintegrating over time, unfortunately... They can be repaired, and I envy the people who can do it as it is way too complex for me. (Though I have a talking Stacey bought from a person who claims that her mother pulled her string every few days for over 50 years (!!!) and I am happy to report that she still talks loud and clear.... but for how much longer, I don't know...)
