Jo, you mentioned how you appreciate the vintage dolls and I totally agree msg Archived Message Posted by mj on 9/19/2014, 12:01 am I have always liked the vintage because it's what started all this the collecting the boards the friendships, Barbiecolletor.com the whole shebang. The feeling you get compared to the newer repros, is like the repros are missing that something, Mattel is getting there, but there is nothing like a vintage doll. The smell the Quality, the really cool hair colors and styles are unmatched by the new repros. The silkstones are almost there, but there missing that something and I can't put my finger on it, but I guess it's the nostalgia. I do hope Mattel can do a better sidepart than the last 3 we've seen, cat womans hair is so bouffant it's nearly like the vintage side part as far as the thickness on top now all they need to do is get the eyelash ridges right and sideparts right and then were in business.Thanks for looking at my dolls and having them in the banners you have a great week.
