My dolls, nr 96

One day when I was brainwashing myself with different 'ethnic' keywords people use to describe dolls on eBay I have stumbled upon (surprise, surprise) a great occasion with crappy picture and misleading description.

Listing mentioned 'rockers' doll but missed the part about  a broken neck and concentrated on the Heart Family Dad with chewed feet...
Ken was easy to resell, accessories are still somehow stuck with me... but I was so excited about this Kira with natural eye-shape and minimal make-up (despite of getting slowly sick of it in mid 2017...) and some bonus vintage clothes...

Here is their arrival documented...

 it is always soooo exciting...

 suddenly memories came back of a friend who had the Heart family actually!

 Heart details and chewed hand...

 sooooo 80s....

 and here ar e'lady bits' so to speak LOL

The broken neck was a bit of surprise but so was the fact that anchor is still in the head... or that pumps she is wearing are amazing vintage slim black stilettos...and that her hair are not cut, as I originally suspected, as the doll in fact turned to be 1997 DOTW Arctic Barbie in Rocker's t-shirt - bingo!

I got so excited that I gave her spa immediately (also to warm head up and save the anchor)...

 this is amazing headmold!

and it sinks so beautifully...

fresh from spa, obviously this tiny little bit more smiley than before...

Mattel produced three different Polar Native dolls:

1982 & 1990 Eskimo Barbie  

 (perfection!)

and 1996 Arctic Barbie

which is the nly one with straight hands, so mine's body seems to be swapped...
