Doll-A-Day 2017 #67 :Barbie Baby

  Today's baby is this little guy.
 Update: I found I did have a nicer example. Almost the same baby type,different colour hair.

This is the baby from the Babysitter Courtney set. You can see that post HERE. 

This is today's original baby. I apologize for the state of him, but he's the only example I had at the moment.

Sorry, but this baby spent the winter on my porch step and he looks a bit rough now.Don't ask.
The baby measures 2 3/4" long.

This baby is almost exactly the same as the babies from the 1994 Babysitter Skipper set.

But they have a ponytail.

 And even more like the babies from the CoolSitter Skipper set,which came later.

But the copyright is 1973,so obviously the mold was used for another baby before.

 This baby has a jointed neck, so it can turn it's head.
But for reference purposes, this baby and the others like it are often sold as being the babies from the Happy Family series, and they are NOT.
Here's the size comparison:

Current Chelsea size,old Kelly size,Teacher Barbie kid, happy family Nikki,Barbie sister Krissy,today's baby,Mattel baby marked China, Happy Family newborn baby. 

Come back tomorrow for another doll.
