| Vintage Barbie Ponytail Comparison Guide Notes: |
#1 Barbie had holes in the
bottom of her feet and shoes to accommodate her stand. #2 Barbie did not
have the holes and had a different stand. |
Had either blue or brown eyeliner - it was the
only time for both, but the blue is rarer. Some came with a braided
ponytail. Body smells like crayon and fades to ivory color. |
Used a new vinyl that retains its color - does
not fade to ivory like the earlier dolls. Some dolls came with a braided
ponytail. |
This is the first Barbie to have a hollow
body. Many #5's have a "greasy" looking face due to the type of vinyl used. |
There was a variation with
painted legs. The lip and blush colors varied a lot over the ears and many
different variations can be found. |
