New Dolls #1


Thank god! After 29 years of wait, my Dreamdate Barbie finally has... a date!!  Took him long enough ! but better late than never right?
So he's in a box which isn't the most comfortable situation to communicate, but makes him a valuable boyfriend ;)

























































I really like his head mold, i hadn't had one like that yet. They are particular of the Kens from the seventies. And actually Ken will go to the plastic surgeon the next year, in 1983, when putting on his Crystal tux...

I also recently bought this beautiful Crystal Barbie AA (Afro-American), and i now have 3 Barbie AA in my collection. The other ones are a NRFB Fun Time from 1986 that i bought a year ago, and Christie Wet n' Wild that i got as a kid.


I think i remember that it was really hard to find AA Barbies in France in the 1980's. My dad brought it back to me from the states and i was crazy about her !!



Anyway, i think she's simply gorgeous. Crystal Barbie is a classic and one of my favorite doll. 
So I'm glad i now have a loose one and a NRFB one!
