Dana Cooper replied to Katie's discussion 'Grace Kelly - a unique face sculpt?' in the group Barbie"I have a Liz Taylor doll - I agree that the mouth is different. Liz's mouth looks shorter and fuller, slightly pursed, extended rosebut while Grace Kelly's mouth looks wider and thinner.
Also, I think the head shapes differ. Grace K's…"

Katie replied to Katie's discussion 'Old Barbies: what is Vintage?' in the group Barbie"Malibu Barbie appeared in 1971 as far as I remember... As far as I know the Mod face mold was eagerly used by the company until 1977. Hmmm... when was the term "vintage" itself first used in the Barbie world I wonder? As far as I remember…"

"Thanks for asking this Katie and Red Rose for explaining all this. It is really useful and fascinating too :)
I'm with you Kate, what's the deal with 1972. I'm guessing a new body/face hold?? Malibu Barbie maybe?? Hehe pleas put us…"
Katie replied to Katie's discussion 'Old Barbies: what is Vintage?' in the group Barbie"Thank you very much Rose! Probably you know why 1972? What's this date famous for? And what are the dolls produced between 1972 and 1977 then? I'm really interested in that because I regularly write doll articles and I don't want to…"

Old Barbies: what is Vintage?
Dear Barbie fans,Sorry if my question may sound a tad silly but that's really something that makes me confused at the moment. Which Barbie dolls are called "vintage" now? It's understood that everything before 1970-s is vintage but what about later dolls? What about Superstar Barbie and her gang? It's 2011 now and how many years should I subtract from 2011 to find out whether my Barbie is "vintage" or not? Or is it all about the difference between Superstar Barbie doll image and earlier concept…See More

It's deaf night in my city now so I'll just quote my own post from the DOLLS website that was dedicated to Andy Mills doll from Robert Tonner Doll Company.
Read MoreThere's a big buzz in Russian news now. And it's not about a gay doll from Robert Tonner. It's about a gay Andy Mills doll from MATTEL!!
