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!

I loved to see that, it’s a rarity 💗🧡 I watched “Julia” on TV when I was little, good memories ✨
Beautiful Dress she has!
My mother always wanted Julia. Never could find overpriced. Nice collection
You have a stunning collection of dolls - congratulations. For me that Christie face is one of the most beautiful faces Christie ever had and possibly one of my all-time favourites in the entire Barbie world - right after Quick Curl Barbie.

@@fashiondolldreamer yes, especially the clothing. prices have skyrocketed on those thanks to the runaway spending people did during 2020 with all their "free" money in the USA. The only thing i don't like are the rubber legs. I'm so thankful for the FAshionistas bodies with the jointed knees (pretty V2 knees, not the first wave) and the MTM bodies, IF i can fully clothe them (they are ugly)

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...)
i always wondered why they wore wrist tags like patients in hospitals.
@fashiondolldreamer
Жыл бұрын
LOL, they are like that, aren't they? I remember in the vintage TV ads they would say 'look for the tag to show it's a genuine Mattel doll." I guess so they could differentiate them from all the lookalike clones that were around back then!

@@fashiondolldreamer i've been looking online trying to find a 1970s Barbie clone with blonde hair and orange dress. I called her Sandy, but IDK if that was her name.
