She's Nikki.
Nikki is the daughter of Barbie's friends Midge and Allen.
That makes Nikki a member of the Happy Family, which is what the Midge line was called at the point where Mattel was concentrating on Midge as a family woman. These days her family has been forgotten about, like Chuck Cunningham on "Happy Days".
I posted about a different Nikki HERE. That Nikki was made with a cookie as part of one hand, and a magnet in the other hand to hold a carton of milk,and her face had painted cookie mess all over it. This Nikki is a clean faced girl with regular hands.
She has some painted detail in the front of her hair,as well as molded detail and two rooted ponytails.
Her dress is an actual Nikki dress, but I'm not sure if it came as a dress, or came on a Nikki doll.
That's the doll for today. Don't forget about our Blogaversary Giveaway! You can see the details in yesterday's post. The closing date for entries is May 31st, and the prize is a 35th Anniversary Barbie doll. See you again tomorrow for another doll.
Nikki is new to me. I didn't know that Barbie's friends had a child. Wow, I have really been out of the Barbie world.
ReplyDeleteWhen I played Barbie, there was just Barbie, no Ken, no car, no house, just Barbie. Of course, that was a gazillion years ago (laugh).
The Happy Family series was years ago. After Mattel let Midge and Allen get married, they let them have two kids. The pregnant Midge doll was very controversial,and came with a removable pregnant belly with a removable baby in it.
DeleteI have seen some of the baby ones like this, in sets at Toys R Us I think....I think it's a shame that she doesn't have proper hair all over her head!

I don't see why they couldn't have rooted her hair. She's almost as big as a Kelly doll.
