I know my dolls are not worth anything I just want to know what year they came out in and /or made in and if possible what style they were i.e. super star and such. I bought them at an antique store and the seller must not know much cause she had them marked 1966 Barbie's. And of course I learned different when I got home and researched. I'm thinking the 80's or 90's. Please help if you can.I put the making info on the pictures. Doll #1 head marking Mattel Inc. 1976 and Torso Marking Mattel Inc. 1966 China
Doll#2 just has a torso making Mattel Inc. 1966 Malaysia
Thank you,

back of Neck Mattel Inc 1976 & back Torso 1966 China
by: FormyTiarah

Hi I have a Doll who looks similar to Malibu with Blue earrings and Blue Ring (not sure if original but has China on lower back with year 1966 and back of her Neck is marked 1976. It even kinda looks like 1975 behind her neck but can't be sure. She does look similar to Malibu Barbie but yet different! Hmm why would neck say something different than back, also her back says China, Which would mean she was made in 80s I think.. I'm just puzzled because not sure. Any Input of Comments would be Greatly Appreciated. Thanks
Barbie with necklace discription
by: Wendy

Thank you for your help. The doll with the necklace has a sort of a drop to it . There's not a gem in it like I thought ... I got a closer look and all the jewelry (earrings, necklace and ring) are all green/emerald like a concave diamond cut. She has China 1976 on the back of her head.I don't think the jewelry hads been switched cuz for the life of me I can't seem to get the earrings to come off and the necklace doesn't have any frays on it if it had been untied. All the jewelry looks undisturbed.I only saw 1 doll in the books that came close to what she looks like and the jewelry in the book looks to be green I really can't tell is the 1990.s HAPPY HOLIDAYS #3 Model #4098. That is all I've seen so far.

What does the necklace look like that the Barbie with bangs is wearing? It might be original to the doll.
identifying your dolls
by: Amber Rae

Dolls were made in different countries at different times. That helps identify around when they were actually made. Here's when they were produced in different countries:
Japan:1959-1972,Mexico:1968-1970,Hong Kong:1970-1987,Taiwan:1970-1987, Korea:1973-1978,
PHILIPPINES:1978-1988, China:1986-now, MALAYSIA:1986-now, Mexico:1989-1990, Indonesia:1992-now

So both were made after 1986. I am pretty sure i've seen both in my guide book. I will get back to you later unless someone else helps you first :)
