Vintage Wednesday - MOD Barbie Blonde Straight leg Francie doll

Straight legs Francie dolls was issued between 1966 and 1968 with a 1965 date on the box, they were produced in Blonde and Brunette color hair, brown eyes, blonde eyebrown, dark pink lips and no "real/rooted" eyelashes.

She had a slimmer body than Barbie, so they didn't really share the wardobre. Her first outfit was in red short and top as show in image:

  1. I have a couple of vintage Francie dolls. I like her more than Barbie. She has a kind of innocence about her with a touch of whimsy.
