BARBIE SHOPPING FUN PLAYSET 2004 vs. BARBIE HEART FAMILY SHOPPING PLAYSET 2004?

by deanna kordeck

I have a "Barbie shopping fun playset" from 2004-new never opened box-perfect conditon. Everytime I try to look up this item I get the "Barbie HEART FAMILY shopping fun playset."
They are the EXACT same identical item inside box- except for the box label showing "Barbie" or the "Heart Family", and the top of the box corners have a slant. I am trying to find out if this item was 1st produced as simply Barbie, then later changed. I would like to know the value of this item, if it would be more valuble with just the "Barbie" name on it. If you could help with ways to find more info on this piece, I would really apprecicate it. Thank you. dee

Ponytail Barbie teen age fashion model cardboard and felt paper doll & dresses to embroider

Barbie paper doll & clothes

I have an illustrated color blonde Ponytail cut out doll which has a "felted" surface. The sheet of flannel fashions to embroider and then cut out match some of the original Barbie fashions from 1959-61. The clothing will 'stick' to the doll because of the soft flannel back. The "barbie" in script looks like it has a trademark. No other identifying marks or brands indicated. Paper doll is 9 1/2" high. sheet of clothes is 14 1/2" x 9 1/2".
Have you ever seen this before, and is it authentic Barbie?
thank you!

Can anyone identify this Barbie size book?

by Amber

When I was a child I played with my aunt barbies. She was born the same year as barbie so the item I will describe must be early.She had a Barbie sized book that when you looked in the side you could see a picture almost like a view finder but obviously much smaller. Long story short I lost it as a child and I want to replace it but step one would be identification.

Hi Amber -
I don't know what it is - hopefully someone will come along who remembers one of these! Good Luck!

i have a box set of barbie books from 1998 and cannot find a price of them any where

I have a 6 piece Barbie Mini book collection. They are completely hard pages and all. the titles are Vacation Magic, Favorite Animals, Friends Together, Special Sisters, Beautiful Dresses, and Pony Show. they are from 1998 Mattel products, that is what it says on the back by the copy right stuff. I looked all over the internet for them and they are like non existing. Google doesnt even pick up their titles. If you know of these books or know where I could find some price for them or anythin about them that would be super awesome.

thank you for reading my letter
thank u richelle
