 1962 Bruenette Bubble Cut doll March 10, 2010
C. Bessire (Alpine, Az.)
This doll was purchased for my collection. I already have a platinum blond version of the doll so this one only adds to it.
Good luck getting the necklace on! July 21, 2009
Cynthia T. (New York, NY United States)
Just received my Amazon order. I simply don't understand why Mattel has to use an industrial strength plastic staple to attach the doll's head to the box. It can't ever be completely removed, and I simply don't see why Barbie's head needs to be attached to a box at all. Is it going to run away?
The face paint is lovely, but is there any earthly reason why her short hair must be shellacked within an inch of its life? Honestly!
The fake fur stole is narrower and more sparse this time around, compared to the last repro. You need to be incredibly nimble to fasten the necklace. (still haven't managed it!) The biggest disappointment are the sparkly shoes. A few years back, the first time this outfit was reproduced, the shoes were the neatest part: The glitter was actually inside the plastic, part of the shoe material, itself. So cool! Here, they just dipped the top of the shoes in gluey sparkles. It looks totally cheesey and cheap.
A real letdown.
 The Box's Corners Were In Poor Condition April 19, 2009
Mannie
As a Barbie Collector, I want the box to be in perfect condition but it was not. I was disappointed. Another Barbie I ordered was not like that at all, she was perfect. So, I guess this time was just a fluke.
Vintage 1962 repro. Barbie April 2, 2009
Selene L. Denney (Gold River, CA)
Upon receiving this particular doll, it brought back many fond memories. I am a collector but some Barbie's are more fun to have than others. This one is one of my new favorites.

Issued to celebrate Barbie's 50th anniversary, this is a reproduction of the 1962 brunette 'bubblecut' doll, with a bonus era-appropriate fashion also included in the package.
Dressed in her standard jersey-cut red swimsuit, the brunette bubblecut doll also wears pearl stud earrings and red open-toed mules. The bubblecut hairstyle was introduced in 1962, proving to be very popular at the time--partially inspired by the look and glamour of Jackie Kennedy. Collectors of vintage Barbie also particularly love the bubblecut dolls; the rare "sidepart bubblecut" being a highly sought-after variation which was only produced for a short time. In addition, a spectacular "bubble-on-bubble" hairstyle was created as one of the wigs for the Fashion Queen Barbie doll.
My only quibble with this reissue lies in the quality of the hair. Original bubblecuts (and earlier repros like "Silken Flame" and "Career Girl") were much more realistic. The hair on this current repro is far too bouffant; Barbie looks like she's overdosed on hairspray!
Also included in this package is a reproduction of "Enchanted Evening", one of Barbie's most desirable and popular gowns of the era. A delicate, strapless gown made of frosted pink satin, with a white faux fur stole. Long white gloves, triple-strand pearl necklace, pearl stud earrings and sparkly open-toed pumps complete this elegant gown.
This is a classic doll reproduction; perfect for the Barbie collector in your family.
