80's/90's Barbie dolls

Welcome back, and today I'll be talking about Barbie dolls from the 80's and 90's. These dolls are pretty well known, and marks when Barbie started to turn into the pink, pink, pink doll of today. I actually have a 1997 Dolls of the World Fourth Edition Native American Barbie, A.K.A. Brown Deer or Savannah. I have the entire doll, and almost all of her accessories, excluding her moccasins and stand. I really like the 1980's/90's articulation, although most of the time the hips are loose and the knees don't hold all 4 clicks.there is a few different types of 90's Barbie body. I really don't like the "Articulated" body, because the joints are super loose, like, 90% of the time, and the legs are prone to break! (in my experience)
Down below is the other 90's Barbie doll I own (excluding the outfit and accessories) and from her left knee to her foot is missing!! Brown Deer has much better articulation, at the neck, shoulders, waist, hips, and knees. Her right hip is fairly tight, where her left is a little loose, but her knees hold 3 of 4 clicks, which is not that common, as most of these rubber click-legged dolls only hold 1 or 2 clicks. It is actually pretty rare to find a played-with doll who's legs hold all 4 clicks. Sometimes never removed from box dolls still don't hold all clicks. Okay, I admit it, Brown Deer's knees originally held all 4 clicks, but she's been played with! Also, about 99% of 80's/90's Barbie dolls are BEACH dolls. A bit annoying, yes, but some actually have cool features, such as UV rays change her hair color! I found this pretty cool.
Well, I'm going to end this post here, and I hope you enjoyed this post.   'til Next Time!  - JCole
