The Barbie Basics dolls were released in 2010. This one is supposed to be a Midge doll, I believe. I bought her NIB.
My California Midge from the 1980's would be stil in great condition, only she has sticky legs with strange marks on them. In the world of Strawberry Shortcake, we call this VDS. I am not sure what Barbie collectors call it. Still she is a pretty doll.
Odd freckleless Midge doll received from a collector friend of mine a long time ago. Variations of Midge doll included a version with teeth showing, and a no-freckles version, like this one. Though it's definitely impossible to tell if the no-freckles Midge's freckle-free state is all original or not unless she is NRFB, some collectors think that freckle-free Midge seems to have a creamier complexion and longer hair. Beware, because the freckles are easy to remove. But, I personally believe this doll is all original.
Either way, this Midge is one of the prettiest I have seen and I love her dearly. Sometimes Midge dolls have wonky eyes that are set at odd angles or have one pupil bigger than the other... but this one has a serene expression and a rather strange cranberry color on her lips instead of the usual peachy or coral color.
She is wearing Barbie in Japan.
The first Midge was on the market between 1963 ans 1966. This character was Barbie doll's first female friend, and the third character added to the Barbie product line, after Barbie and Ken.
Casey (1967-1970) was Francie's (Barbie's cousin) best friend. Like Francie, she had a different body than the previous dolls (smaller).
Photo made for the contest # 55 on the material-animal group. Lapin still loves to play with his Barbies. That's his little secret, but don't tell Shirley!!!! :)

PERSONAL FUN FACT: Ironically both of my Wedding Day Midge dolls came to me in a state of decapitation. At least my first Midge (on the right) had her body still, even if it was broken beyond repair. My other gal though....she did not have any such luck! It's crazy how these two dollies are actually one in the same. My first doll has much lighter, strawberry blonde colored hair. Plus it is kanekalon, which I really do not like. Her face is also more of what I am used to seeing on 90s Midge dolls--her eyebrows are spaced wide apart, which really accentuates her Diva head mold. I rescued her from a charity store at the very end of 2014. In fact, this Midge, Celebration Cake Barbie, and 2013 "Black Friday" Yasmin and Cloe were my last dolls purchased that year! I wanted Midge even though she was decaptitated because I had a gut feeling that she was the super cool Wedding Day doll (those twinkly eyes gave her away).
My second doll, on the left side of this photo, is way more beautiful in my opinion. She was part of the "Fountain Mermaid Barbie lot" of 2016. She not only is more breathtaking than my first lovely gal, but she also came with her original outfit! She might not have all her outfit pieces, but she has plenty to wear! I love her hair color because it is a very deep shade of ginger. It is also saran, which is my ideal hair type to play with/style. Sadly, her hair was pretty damaged around the hairline. She had a lot of split ends and short, broken hairs. But after a crazy hot boil wash, her hair turned out magnificently...she is a real show stealer now! Her facial screening is also much more flattering, and I think it compliments her deep red hair perfectly. I absolutely adore both of my Wedding Day Midge dolls, and I'm so grateful that I was able to find them bodies, and make them beautiful again!
