Allan Come Out To Play! And others too!

Hey Gang!

I purchased a vintage Allan doll back in 1999. He has very rarely seen
the light of day! His legs don't bend and he has that vintage body too.
I read a joke about Ken in Barbie Bazaar. (yeah, I miss Barbie Bazaar!)
Ken and Allan had disappeared for two years or more.  When asked
where he was, it read at the gym!  They were reintroduced the had
muscles and not the collegiate physique (yes, that is what is was called)
that they had then.

College guys have way more muscles now!

I have some misgiving about re-boding him.  It was going to be permanent!
Should I do that to a vintage doll? Yes! I am so much happier with him now!
He seems to have swagger!

His old body! boo hoo!  I am hope to sell it and get some money for Allan's
new wardrobe!

Yes, I plan to repaint his hair, touch up his eyes and brows.  I might add some
lip color too!

Allan: So hurry up!

I guess I can wait, I waited all this time!

So let's see who else we can update!
Why not  Repro Smashin’ Satin on a Disney body!

 It opens us up to way more outfits and...

is better looking than Liv doll body!

Yes, I'm changing all of my francies dolls who have

been on Liv bodies to Disney!

Oh, and Repro 30th Anniversary Gad-About!

 compared to the original!
It will get sold too!  If anyone is interested,
let me know!

On her new body she reminds me of
Anne Hathaway!

Sorry, I don't have this top!

OK, Last but not list is 1976 Ballerina Barbie doll!

 Her final body might a fashionista
body

 but I don't have one for her just yet!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Faces of Francie-Update!

Hey Gang!

 Original Francie

I purchased this girl on eBay nude so I don't know which one she is or how she originally looked. Her body needs replacing because on leg joint is broken. and I want to restyle her like this one!

AA Repro Francie The Wild Bunch!

Here are the faces of my Francie dolls. The doll’s original
name was Francie Fairchild and she debuted in 1966 as
the “Mod Cousin of Barbie”. She is smaller than Barbie.
As a child, it bothered me that she and Barbie couldn’t
share clothes.

The original Francie looks down as you can see from the
picture. I guess she is shy. The reproductions look up more
than the original. Neither the original nor the repro has the
swivel neck and so they can’t look up fully.

I don’t have an original Black Francie. My mother tossed her out
when I was young (SIGH) and I have not be able to afford another
as an adult. I dream of her. They are shown nude here so that you
can see the body has not changed. The faces on the repros are nice
but not exactly like the original.

I believe the Wild Bunch and 30th Anniversary Gad About are the
same face. The Smashin’ Satin is different. All the original Francie
dolls used the same head mold. I didn’t add the Malibu doll
because the face is different.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
