The Mod Party Becky Doll is the first ever Prototype Reproduction. Becky was a Francie size doll planned to be introduced into the Barbie family in 1971. The fashion booklets from that year even have the Becky name, leaving collectors to wonder for years who was Becky and why did she never appear?

Superstar Barbie Reproduction was issued in 2009 in celebration of Barbie’s 50th anniversary. Superstar Barbie is very important in Barbie’s history. When she was introduced in 1977, she brought a new look to Barbie that would last for over 20 years. She had a smile (with teeth) and long flowing blonde hair.

Barbie Mod Shoe Reproduction Pack

Comments Off

This cool reproduction of a vintage Mod-Era Barbie and Stacey shoe pack will be available in June 2006.

It includes 4 square toed, 4 bow, 2 closed toe heels and white go-go boots. The red closed toe shoes can be difficult (and costly) to find, these might make a good alternative.

These should also fit Francie and friends. If they are true to form, the bow shoes should be “squishy” – no word on that yet.

I know I will want to have one to use and one to display!

There are also several Mod Era Barbie reproductions – Mod era Twist-n-Turn Barbies with “Made For Each Other” (November 2006) and “All That Jazz” (July 2006) coming out this year. Stay tuned for more…..
