My picks for the top ten best Barbie dolls of the 1970s (excluding Ken, Skipper and Francie-sized dolls). All opinions are my own, and therefore correct.
Superstar barbie to me was a mother of a lot of kids who lived with her husband, ken with that blue outfit, in a van. They were a poor, but loving family. I spent hours in that drama every day. The boy next door made us kick ass campgrounds in the yard. It was my own soap opera.
Fantastic video! Fashion Photo PJ was my all-time favorite of the ones I had growing up. I still have her, but her arm is broken. I’ve never seen Yellowstone Kelley, but I do have a paper doll set of her. Looking forward to a video of top Barbies from the 1980s!
Depending on how your doll's arm is broken, it might be something you can fix. SuperStar arms can be difficult to switch out, but it can be done. Finding the right skintone on a donor body with a good arm can be a challenge, especially for Fashion Photo P.J. This is the orangey-pink that was only used in the late 70s and early 80s, but if the doll's left arm is the broken one, Western Barbie and Kissing Barbie make good arm donors.
Fashion Photo PJ was my favorite too because she was brunette, which was rare for 70's Barbies. I just wish there was also a Superstar PJ with a sapphire dress in the same style as the pink Superstar Barbie dress. What I found really hard to do was getting the pants or the straight skirt onto the FP dolls. They were so tight!
@@Siansonea this is exactly the kind of video format I was hoping to find someday. Of course, part of me was screaming “sweet 16”, “ballerina Barbie & Cara”, “European equestrienne”…!! But on the whole I was delighted to see such precision of these beautiful dolls
@@Frenchmisto I probably could have populated this list with nothing but Cara, Christie and P.J. dolls. :D I'm looking at the 80s right now, and it's going to be really hard to narrow it down to ten. And I do like the European Equestrienne, but I only have the one with the SuperStar face, not the TNT Barbie face, which is the one I think is the prettier of the two. Of course, I love the one with the SuperStar face as well. And Hawaiian SuperStar Barbie would have probably made this list as well, but I don't have that doll. 😆
@@Siansonea having grown up in France, I was very lucky to have access to both of these dolls, and funny enough, I have kept them both along with some others from my childhood days
Well, I was mangling my dolls during the 70s, all of these were acquired many years afterward. But all that mangling was good practice for my restoration skills that I learned along the way.
My mother bought my younger sister & me our first Barbie dolls maybe in 1971. I hated my doll because she had black hair. My sister got the blonde doll. I was livid with my mother for not having us pick out our own Barbie doll. It was not that I hated black hair, but I preferred blonde then. I did have the 1977 Superstar "preferrably blonde" Barbie but cannot remember having any other Barbies in the seventies. Shortly after getting 1977 Barbie, I stopped playing with or having dolls until I was in my twenties when I bought the miniature Barbies of the World dolls from McDonald's. But I did not keep them. Then in my thirties, a total change happened; I no longer favoured blonde hair but black hair! I even keep my hair dyed black for years now! Feeling bad for hating my first black haired Barbie, I bought a few black haired Barbie & Ken dolls to replace the one I hated.

I still have a Malibu Barbie body with the blonde P.J. head!
Great video
Quick Curl Barbie FTW
Great video! Really nice choice of dolls (so glad dramatic new living Barbie and quick curl Cara have made the list…)
Please carry on the amazing work
Thank you so much!

@@Siansonea about the 80s video… if it’s too hard to narrow it down to 10, what’s stopping you to make it a top 15 or 20?
Live action PJ was my most favourite doll of all of my barbies.
Great views of them. I was mangling Hot Wheels during these years.

Malibú 1971, Miss América Barbie 1972, Supersize Barbie 1977, Beauty Secrets 1979....on the list....
Always wanted Beauty Secrets!
P.J ❤… Barbie 😴… Cara💕💕💕…
I like the Barbie ❣️😻
Barbies were so much prettier back then. And their fashions so detailed.
I do not agree. The Barbies were best looking after the nineties.
