(1987) Sensations Bopsy Outfit
BOX DATE: 1987
MANUFACTURER: Mattel
DOLLS IN LINE: Barbie; Becky; Belinda; Bopsy
MISSING ITEMS: Jacket, microphone, glasses, socks, shoes, earring studs, cardboard punch outs
PERSONAL FUN FACT: I found this jumpsuit at the local flea market in June of 2025. It was in a small tub with random doll/Build a Bear clothes. The items were $1 a piece, which adds up. However, there weren't many Barbie fashions inside, so it wasn't too pricey to snag all the ones we deemed important. I immediately recognized this as being from a 1980s Barbie band themed line. I was fairly certain it was from the Barbie and the Sensations wave. It turns out my hunch was correct! Bopsy was a single appearance character. I really don't know why Mattel didn't just call her Midge (they look the same honestly). Perhaps it was because they wanted all the dolls to have "B" names? Either way, Bopsy is adorable and I have her outfit in the event I ever find the doll. It's in great shape despite its age. The colors are vibrant and there aren't any rips or tears!
