Toys and Games Reviews of Barbie My Favorite Time Capsule 1962 Brunette Bubble Cut Doll
Customer Review: Lovely doll, excellent fashion reproduction
Summary: 5 Stars
1962 Brunette Bubblecut Barbie Doll is a wonderful doll, but she's not a perfect reproduction of the original. This doesn't detract from the doll's quality and visual appeal, though. I have deboxed the doll, and I own genuine vintage versions of the doll, so I am evaluating this doll from the standpoint of accuracy, visual appeal, and overall quality of a deboxed display doll.
My main critique about the doll concerns the doll's hair. It is much too silky and shiny to be a good match to the original. The dolls from 1962 had a very coarse, dull-sheened hair fiber, that holds it's style extremely well. Those 1962 hairstyles are often found perfectly intact 45 years later, even dolls that have been played with. Mattel should research and duplicate that hair fiber for these repro dolls. Not only would it be a good match to the originals, but the dolls would require far less 'setting lotion' or whatever glue Mattel uses to sculpt the hairstyles for these repro dolls.
The facial screening is great, but it's more similar to a 1966 doll than a 1962 doll. The shape of the lips, the color of the lips and eye shadow, is more similar to a 'high-color' Color Magic Barbie doll or 1966 Barbie with Lifelike Bendable Legs. This doll should have pink or coral lips, as red lips were less common in 1962 than they were in other years. That said, it's still a very visually pleasing face paint pattern.
The fashion reproduction of Enchanted Evening is superior to the previous reproductions of the fashion, and it looks very good and fits well on the doll. The fashion alone is worth the price, as it is of very high quality.
Overall, a great doll, and the reproduction booklet is a great bonus. Worth the price, for sure.
