PJ Dolls were introduced in 1969 when Barbie's Friend Midge received a makeover and a new name. Using the same Midge face and head mold, PJ was more hip and mod than Midge. PJ had long blonde pigtails, brown eyes with blue eye shadow and wickedly long rooted eye lashes.
Talking PJ was introduced in 1969, Twist 'n Turn PJ followed in 1970. She has the same body as Barbie and shares Barbie's clothes. The only clothing items that has a PJ label were PJ's swimsuits and the items from the two gift sets.
