I have an original Barbie with many outfits that I may be willing to part with. How should I go about getting these appraised and, possibly, find a new home for her?

Jen, The only thing I can suggest is to ask at the official mattel barbie collector website.. http://www.barbiecollector.com/club/help/faq.aspx. You do have to join to access the boards. The other possibility is to search for a club in your area here: http://www.barbiecollector.com/collecting/CollectorClubs/ Good luck.

I'm having trouble finding certain fashions that were available for Barbie in the 1970's one was the #9327 Ballerina Snowflake Fairy, I believe there was also a Ballerina Sugar Plum fairy and a Ballerina red fairy one offered as well. It seems nearly impossible to find the numbers or pictures for these fashions that I believe were a classic ballerina series in promotion with the #9093 Ballerina Barbie. Please help I've looked in all of the books and searched everywhere on the net for information on these!

Linda, I believe that the first jointed Barbie was released in 1970 when Barbie was given jointed ankles. Hope this helps.

Mky granddaughter is now into Barbies and I've purchased some older ones on ebay. I notice that some have flexible limbs and some have actual joints that bend but do not have a smooth line like the flexible ones. When did the obviously jointed ones come on the scene? Thanks

Hi Joan. I answered you with a link on the Avon collectibles site. I believe that this may possibly be the Bob Mackie Fantasy Goddess of Asia. Good luck in your search.
