It is unfortunately beyond the ability of this site to currently give you a complete encyclopedic reference guide
to all Barbie® and friends dolls - however, we will show all headshots that become available to us (as above and below)
in the hopes that this will help you sort out any mysteries!
This section has been integrated into our ABC DollWiki. To search for names
or face moulds, use the search box located in the left hand menu once you are are in the "wiki" area.
Most
vintage Barbie® and family dolls can be easily identified by their
hairstyle, facial features and their "butt markings" - the
manufacturer's location and patent marks, usually imprinted on the right
buttock. When it comes to identifying post-1977 dolls (the
"Superstar" era), things can get trickier. A book highly
recommended for it's reference value is Marcie Melillo's The Ultimate
Barbie® Book, which features close-up pictures of each doll's face,
so as to allow minute comparison for identification purposes.
There are
also many very useful sites available to assist in identifying your Barbie®
and friends dolls such as:
If you are
having trouble identifying your doll, you are welcome to bring it along to
any ABC Doll Club Get-together (for times / locations see the Calendar of Events), where an expert
is sure to be on hand to help. Alternatively, if you have clear photos of the
doll (including close ups of head and butt markings), you may send them to
the Club for identification / appraisal.
