The Truly Scrumptious Doll was one of the first “celebrity” Barbie Dolls, released along with the Julia doll in 1969.
The doll is based on a character of the same name from the wildly popular kids movie, Chitty, Chiity, Bang, Bang.
There were two Truly Scrumptious Barbie Dolls – a “standard” one on the traditional straight leg Midge/Barbie body and a Talking Truly Scrumptious.
Both dolls have a Francie head with blue eyes, rooted eyelashes and blonde hair – no bangs, pulled back in a low ponytail and curled at the bottom.

TNT Barbie got a new look in 1969. Twist ‘n Turn Barbie got a new hairstyle – a shoulder length flip, arguably inspired by the hit TV show That Girl which ran from 1966 to 1971 and starred Marlo Thomas with a similar hairstyle. This Barbie is often referred to as TNT Flip or TNT Marlo or even TNT Marlo Flip.
She was made from 1969 to 1971 and she received a new swimsuit each year.

Hello Kitty Barbie Doll (with Vintage Steffie Face Sculpt)

Have you seen the Hello Kitty Barbie Doll? Mattel used the vintage Steffie face mold for her (1971 Steffie as Miss America is pictured above) and gave her updated cat eyes! This is a 2007 pink box release that is selling for bargain prices on eBay.
Although it was released as a “play doll”, I think this is a GREAT collectible Barbie, for both Barbie & Hello Kitty collectors alike! I LOVE Barbie’s Hello Kitty necklace & purse!! (And the Steffie face is still stunning!)
Here is what Mattel has to say about Hello Kitty Barbie: “There’s something perpetually trendy about Hello Kitty, the globally renowned icon that’s embraced by kids and fashionistas alike. And who better to keep fingers on the fun fashion pulse than Barbie doll? Our favorite style maven adds whimsy to dark “denim” jeans and a black and white top through flirty Hello Kitty accessories — in pink, of course! From the hip white jacket and bold pink belt to the hat, necklace and super-cute bag, Barbie doll displays the Hello Kitty logo everywhere, with pride. And why not? When fashion and fun collide, it’s always a fabulous affair”.
