This is the doll that I have transformed the most. Her hair was a lost cause so I rerooted it and I made her dress myself. It wasn’t intentional, but I love how she looks like Marilyn Monroe now. Let’s have a look at the restoration process:

1985 Barbie Magic Moves
Without a doubt, she’s one of my favorite Barbies EVER! Her face is gorgeous, her hair is soft and beautiful, her dress is stylish and versatile. I fell in love with this doll because she was part of a dear friend’s collection and I just had to get her for myself as well! It’s almost…
1986 Dana – Barbie and the rockers, real dancing action
When I was little, I owned a Dee Dee rockstar from this series and I adored her! I hope I’ll be able to buy all the rockers one day, but they are really expensive. I was really lucky to find this Dana at a very special price from a vintage toy store that was closing…
1985 Diva – Barbie and the rockers
I adore how iconic this Barbie series is! This doll is from 1985, and she looks so… 80s! I’d love to own all the Rockers in the series, but I doubt I’ll be able to find them all at a decent price (they have become really really expensive). I was able to purchase Diva for…
1985 Barbie Magic Moves – flea market finds 14
When I say that Barbie Magic Moves is one of my very favorite 80s Barbies, I am serious! This doll is one of my flea market finds. I adore how different this doll’s face is compared to my other Magic Moves Barbies. Her hair is very damaged, but I did my best to fix it…
1987 California Dream Barbie
I put this doll in my wishlist as soon as I started my new doll collection in 2018. I really like her outfit, very summer-y and colorful! I haven’t unboxed her yet as I’m running out of space in my apartment!
80s/90s Barbie – pink rose necklace and earrings – flea market finds 11
I wish I knew what Barbie she is! I found some pictures of this doll online, but none of them included the actual name of the doll. I got this beautiful Barbie at the flea market and fixed her as much as I could. This peach-colored dress doesn’t match perfectly her necklace and earrings, but…
1988 Holiday Barbie – flea market finds 10
I’m not entirely sure that this doll is a 1988 Holiday Barbie, but her lovely face certainly looks like it! When I got her at the flea market she was in rather good condition and I simply had to wash her and restyle her hair. I dressed her in this red dress that another doll…
1988 Superstar Barbie – flea market finds 6
I remember having a 1988 Superstar Barbie when I was very very little. It was one of the dolls some older kid from the neighborhood gave to my sister once they stopped playing with them. The doll must have broke pretty soon because I can’t remember ever playing with her, but I remember still having…
1988 Superstar Barbie
When I started my new doll collection in 2018, I immediately put this doll in my wishlist. I love how 80s she looks and I adore the star-theme going on with this doll. I got her new in box on eBay for approximately 60 euro, which I think is a good price for this doll!
