Vintage Barbie fans, this one’s for you! Today, I’m unboxing a 1981 Sunsational Malibu PJ, one of the last dolls from the classic Malibu era! She’s been NRFB (never removed from box) for 43 years, and it’s time to set her free!
Let's look at her details, check for any aging after four decades, and compare her to Malibu Barbie as well as the latest Mattel, chase varient, Midge.
Plus—does she need a mini spa day? Let’s find out!
CORRECTION: She is stamped 1966 - not 1963 - I got out a magnifying glass and looked. Sorry!!
CHAPTERS:
