See the pic? This is a pretty cute outfit, in my opinion. this is the same box the last one came in if you bought it full price. Instead of the bikini and mesh covering like 1967, she now came in what appears to be a shirt, shorts, and belt. Barbie still came with the ankle stand/"X" stand and hairbow, though it was now pink instead of the orange one she used to come with. Now, my personal favorite Mod Barbie doll, Talking Barbie!
This is the original Talking Barbie from 1968 and all of her plastic glory. Instead of all of these fancy thingamajigs of today, This Barbie has a pink flower-shaped pull string/cord that activates 7 different sayings. Although there are 7 sayings, I only know 2 and a half, A.K.A I can't remember one. She says stuff like: "Would you like to go shopping?" "Stacy and I are having some tea." and something like "What should I wear to the dance?" That last one is the one I'm not completely sure about. I like how on this doll, her speaker is on her back, instead of nowadays, on the doll's chest or stomach. Although this makes her look better from the front, she may sound "faraway," If that makes any sense.
This is a prototype, with a clear torso instead of a flesh-tone one. Well, I've been TALKING long enough, (Get it?) so I'm gonna wrap it up now, so 'til Next Time! - JCole Photo credit: The-beautiful-world-of-barbie.tumblr.com (Prototype), Fashion Doll Guide (TNT), and Joeslist.com (Brunette Talking Barbie)
