Superstar Barbie Posted September 28 Posted September 28 This has been on my mind for a while, this is The Best body for the Adult Collector, because it's functionable, it's well designed, it represents a female figure with curves and has the best designed Body. The Original Barbie doll was designed with breast! and without Fear of backlash and it made her and instant ICON! Mattel, don't hide Barbie curves to please insecure Karen's, LET her SHINE like the FASHION DOLL she was designed to be, This is a GREAT DESIGNED Barbie body, granted not for every Barbie doll, but can we get this body back? 3 Quote

Lol, the first Barbies got lots of backlash by many parents because of the breasts! My mother wouldn't allow my sisters and I to have the dolls until we were 12. At the age of 12 we were supposed to know the difference between right and wrong according to the Baptists which my parents were. So my oldest sister got her Barbie in 1962, my middle sister in 1963, and I got mine in 1965. Oh my middle sister's name was Karen. Please don't use that name to designate something negative. She just passed on the 26th of August! Also, this is an articulated barbie whose body is still being used today for new barbies. I may be wrong as I don't pay much attention to bodies. I dislike the Made to Move bodies but I own a couple. I keep them fully clothed to hide the ugly joints. 2 Quote
DEVONREX Posted October 3 Posted October 3 My godmother said, when I showed her my first Barbie, "my, she is buxom, isn't she?" I was seven, and probably saw Barbie on The Mickey Mouse Club commercials. Luckily, my mom didn't have a problem with getting her for me. When I became a collector in the early 80's, mom got me an Avon Barbie, and the 80's version of SuperStar Barbie. Good memories. 2 3 Quote

You know, I just realized, if lubo thinks I'm hopeless in recognizing some sculpts... try teaching me to differentiate between different barbie BODIES and you'll realize that in comparison I'm a sculpt sage 😆 (I don't even try to be honest. It's 'they have joints' or 'they don't have joints' for me. 😊) 2 Quote 🏵️🍁🌸

That would mean it was well made! Because, it is form of belly button body, which was discontinued, too. This one has besides the joints also bigger breasts. And bodies with bigger breasts (except Curvy collector body) were canceled. 😞 1 1 Quote
