just looking at the quality of the clothes barbie use to have makes me want to scream at what we get now :/

Yeah, comparing it to one another is almost unfair 😅 the quality back then was exquisite !! 🥲💖

Not to mention the clothing and hairstyles were fashionable and on trend for the time. Barbie clothes now are cartoonish and dated.
Francie was always my favorite as a little girl. I adored her mod clothes. She's still my favorite of all the Barbies.

She’s such a fashion icon! And really one of the best things mattel did for the Barbie universe! 🥰💖✨
She is another cutie on my shelf. Never had her as a kid back when, so now that she is available to us again I couldn't resist. My collection is so mixed up. The only complete series I have left is the Birds of Beauty Swan, Flamingo and Peacock. Not rare at all. One day soon I will make my way back to the Doll Room closet and pull out my remainders. I sold off all my Princess of the World series for next to nothing. Also many others, I regret letting go of some, but thanks to you Arjan, I have a new appreciation for the newer fantasy hair and Barbie Extra Dolls. I never realized their potential until my recent discovery of Barbination my favourite adult channel on KZread. Keep up the awesome work. 💛💙💚🧡❤️💜

Hello! I'm from the west coast too up in the San Francisco area now I live in Arizona. I had a lot of dolls from the 60's but got rid of them because "I was to old" to have dolls. 🙄 I've been making up for my mistake and have a few that I had back then. Francie and Casey are harder to get again because they are too expensive. I wish they'd do a repro of Casey. Of even Twiggy.

This is a beautiful reproduction! I have been downsizing my Barbie collection of the past few years and focusing on Francie. I have this doll, all the Silkstone Francie dolls, several vintage Francie dolls, outfits and cases, as well as my original Malibu Francie (yes, I am that old). A Francie was my first doll ever in the Barbie family and I just love how sweet she is. Thanks for the review!

11:54 I think it's better to compare her with Barbie 1966 mold, not with Barbie 1959...it was the new "twist and turn" era and Barbie was more modern too ❤️

True! 😅💖 Older or more modern comparison, the point is that she has the first really “sweet” and cute face mattel did right? 🤗💖🎀

I had both Francie and Casey growing up. I didn't have the black Francie, my dad wouldn't allow it, unfortunately. You didn't argue with dad about it, not even mom. I never understood why he was that way until after mom and dad got divorced but by then Francie wasn't around. Like, I mentioned I did have her and the one who's hair "grew", which was my favorite.

I love Francie. Glad to see you are enjoying her as well. Have you thought about swap her body to a Made-to-Move body? I have been doing that with my other Francie dolls and now with the AA Petite MTM, Francie can be articulated and wear her own fashions. When I get a chance to reset my Francie's hair, I will check to see if she can match the AA petite MTM body.

Oh that is a lovely idea indeed! 🥰💖 Francie is so iconic she needs that ultimate posing in her life! And with the AA petite you mean Barbie Looks Tamika?
@bradsherwood194
Жыл бұрын
@@Barbination Tamika is close enough, but the first gen Barbie 1959 Petite is a more precise match. Using the petite body for Francie will also allow her to wear Rainbow Hight fashions. Of course, if you use a regular MTM for Francie, her wardrobe can expand even more. By the way, Licca Chan's head on a Francie body looks good to me as well. Skin tone match is not so easy but the Francie body goes well with Licca Chan--still youthful but a bit more grown up and better proportioned in my opinion.

The fashion this doll is wearing is called "Floating-In". It is not a new design. Also, I don't know where your book gets its information, but there was never a Talking Francie doll. The doll's torso was much too small to house the mechanism.
