Vintage Barbie Doll Miss Barbie
Vintage Barbie Doll Miss Barbie was the first to have bendable legs and the only "sleep" eye Barbie made. Fully poseable, Miss Barbie could pose like she was running, modeling and could actually cross her legs when she sat down. Her eyes opened when standing and closed when lying down. She came with three different colored and styled wigs. In order to make the wig experience easier, her "real" hair was molded and painted. Her head was a very hard plastic and is known to develop "melt" marks if the wigs were left on for an extended period of time. In addition, Miss Barbie could wear all of Barbie's clothes.

It is sad to note that Miss Barbie was only made for one year. Even with all the firsts that came with this doll, Miss Barbie was just not as popular as the other dolls.
