Girls, did you have this toy?

[binny]

Its the Barbie Head that you put make up on and do her hair.


I had one and I loved it. It was one of the few "girlie toys" that I actually liked ( I was a bit of a tomboy)

I'm thinking of getting one for my dd for her 5th Birthday.


Is it too freaky? I mean think about it... it is basically a severed head

I always wanted one, but never got one! I found a Cinderella one at the Disney Store last year and got it for my youngest DD. She played with it for awhile......

 

[coliebird]

OMG, I loved that thing. It ranked up there with my EZ Bake Oven. I can't wait for my daughter to be big enough for this stuff.

I had one, but don't remember playing with it very much. I guess it just didn't interest me. Hair and make-up were not as interesting to me as clothing and furniture. I remember spending hours setting up my Barbie houses with their furniture and laying out Barbie clothes and choosing which ones to pack for "Barbie vacation"

 

[Gette88]

Yes & loved it. Oldest DD had one & I'm sure younger DD will have one too.

 

[Chattyaholic]

No, I never had one, not even sure they MADE them "way back then...
But my daughter had one, she played with it some but it wasn't one of her favorite toys. It's probably still upstairs somewhere...

 

[Harley Chick]

Ummm... no. But I did have a Tonka dump truck and an erector set. I think my dad wanted a boy.

 

[MAC3]

I had one. I am just as good at doing hair now as I was then.

FYI Binny, They have a software version of this that is very cool for girls. My DD has had it for quite sometime now and loves it. It's fairly inexpensive too!

Well, Chatty, I'm 5 years older than you and I remember them! I never had one, but I remember them. They WERE cool.

My favorite toy, though, has got to be the old-fashioned Jump Rope!

I had one and I LOVED it!!!!

 

[kinlaw6450]

I had one of those! My DD has a Bratz head. Same concept different doll...She plays with hers all the time.

 

[grinningghost]

Yes, I had it. I also remember that I snooped in my Mom's closet and saw it there before Christmas.

 

[Serena]

LOL, I had one. I tried to find one for my girls but they weren't around for them. Now, they're back. My girls did have the tonka trucks and erector sets and match box cars along with the barbies and stuffed animals.

Some days I wish I had never gotten started with the science stuff.

 

[kaseyC]

I had one too , loved it and cut off all of its hair. does anyone remember back in the 70's when Cher was popular, there was a Cher head, I got that one Christmas and cut its hair too. LOL My 7 yr old got the Bratz head for Xmas, guess what she did? yep, cut its hair off. Like mother like daughter!!

By the way does anyone remember the Chrissy Doll - she was a mod 70's doll with red hair and her hair grew (not if you cut it) from a hole in her head and you could shoten it by winding it back in.

 

[dizneenut]

I had one, but it was Marie Osmond, not Barbie! LOL
I loved that thing!!

 

[cinmell]

I had the barbie head and Marie Osmond.

 

[luv2nascar]

I had one as a child and loved her
DD is not interested in barbie's. oh well
I saw the blond barbie head on clearance end cap at my target today
I didn't check the price because I didn't need it

 

[catsrule]

No, I didn't have one. Makeup stuff just never interested me, and it still doesn't.

 

[tinaw]

My daughter has one and it talks. She says things like " I look pretty" She's not my daughters favorite toy but she does play with her. She is more into Polly Pocket and baby dolls right now.

I had one of those, but her hair was blonde.
