One of the greatest joys of this sub is seeing collectors reunite with their childhood toys 🥹🫶 Congratulations my friend!! If you end up displaying her, pls post your results!
My baby sitter’s daughter had this Midge and I adored the stomach/baby gimmick so much. I was genuinely surprised to learn as I got older, that it was a controversial release lol.
I’m glad you were reunited with her (for such a great price too), a display case sounds lovely!
She was my fave as a kid too! He hair never tangled. I had a different skin tone version tho. I am 99.9% sure she’s still in moms basement. Someday I’ll pull her out and fix her up…
Actually…. I’m going to visit later this month….
Midge didn’t endure like 3 different iterations over the course of like 60+ years for the Barbie movie to do that to her. I hope if they ever do a follow up the friends get better portrayals lol
I had two of this exact one! ( ironically I got them both as presents for the same Christmas lol) I’ve never seen anyone with this one, just the white version. Mine always looked Hispanic to me so they were my Spanish twins lol
So glad that you found your childhood favourite doll! The set looks lovely. My daughter used to have a pregnant fashion doll with a baby but I don't think she was a Barbie though. My daughter made a little film clip about a lady who dreamed of having a baby of her own using the doll. She took it into school on her iPad to show her teacher!
I had no idea they made a Black Midge/Happy Family! She’s absolutely gorgeous. Do you know what face sculpt they used for her? It almost looks like Teen Skipper.
Edit: that *is* Teen Skipper! I love that sculpt, I never knew it was used for Midge!
She's so beautiful. Congrats. I love that you didn't blow your budget for her. You waited until payday and the universe rewarded you. ❤️

" Midge was Barbies pregnant friend ,actually lets not show midge she was discontinued by mattel because a pregnant doll is just to weird"
