![]() ![]() You can see a close up of her eyes/mouth/nose shape in this photo. I was wondering if the dolls were all produced in Japan, or if maybe she was a Japanese version or something? It is to my understanding that only #1 Barbies have holes in their feet, so I don't believe it's abnormal for this doll not to have holes. Obviously the earrings could have fallen out, but it is odd to me there are no evidences of holes. She has no piercing holes on her ears, and no earrings. I am new to all of this, so please bear with me if I say something incorrect! There are a few interesting factors to this doll, however. I do not think she is a #5 because her vinyl is not shiny, and I do not believe she is a #6 or #7 because her markings indicate this. ![]() I believe she is either a #3 Ponytail or a #4 Ponytail. Her skin is light, but I cannot decide as to classify it as faded "ivory", or as a light tan. Her eyes are blue with little white dots in them (please see picture), and she has traces of blue eyeliner. Pats.Pending, (c)MCMLVIII, by Mattel Inc." As they should. ![]() When I saw her, I knew she was older than I first anticipated. She brought the doll in today to show me. I, being a hopeful new collector, asked if I could see it. So my teacher, of whom grew up in the '60s, told me she had a vintage Barbie. Return to Barbie and Fashion Doll Identification. I would try soaking the head rim in warm water for a few minutes to see if that would soften it enough to put it on. I know neck splits are an issue and am afraid this could result if I force it too much. Is there a good way to loosen the neck opening/soften the rubber without hurting the doll piece? Otherwise, would you advise trying to force it somewhat harder. I have tried gently/and with moderate force to push the head onto the doll's neck joint, but it seems not to want to go. ![]() My question today is, I do have an original fashion queen doll with most of the pieces/accessories, but problematically the head is not presently on the doll, and the rubber on the neck opening seems awfully stiff. I do have a few pieces I would not mind help identifying, and I will come back with questions re those when I have taken the pictures of those. Thank you for putting up this beautiful, fun, very useful site! - This is not an identification question, but I was not sure where else to pose it within your pages. Question about Fashion Queen Barbie Head / Neck Rim Curious that someone else mentioned on this page that they could not see a TM or R next to Barbie. Does anyone know about the history of the Barbie with a bun, her markings etc. I can not see a T.M or a R by Barbie and Barbie is the clearest print of the entire marking. Markings are Barbie, Pats Pend, roman numerals by Mattel. It does not appear as if it were a poneytail that was cut because there is no piece of hair typically seen that wraps around to make the top knot and usually separates clearly from the other hair on the scalp. The bun seems to been wrapped around (like the doll on this page) rather than rubberbanded and pull out and tucked under. She appears to have a bun! The bun is anchored with 3 straight pins that have caused greening of the top of her head. I just received a blonde Barbie that appears to be a #5 with soft hair and firmer curly bangs with face similar to #3 eye paint, brow and shadow. ![]()
