Then & Now Bathing Suit™ Barbie® - Prototype with New Head #1
Bathing Suit Barbie® was heavily-promoted as introducing a new head sculpt for Barbie, but the doll was produced with the existing 1991 closed-mouth "Mackie" head sculpt instead. (See a picture of the production doll here.)
However, this prototype version does have a new head after all! I wonder why it was changed to the old one after such a big deal was made about it? (There's another different prototype with this head here.)
Which version do you like better?
