Description: Vintage Hair Fair Barbie on Twist 'N Turn Body Wearing Sparkling Jumpsuit from Talking Julia #1128 (1969-1970) Step back into the vibrant Mod Era of the late 1960s with this unique vintage Barbie creation. This doll combines the chic Hair Fair Barbie head with the dynamic Twist 'N Turn Barbie body, showcasing the best of both worlds. She is dressed in the eye-catching gold and silver jumpsuit originally designed for the Talking Julia #1128, released in 1969-1970. This outfit epitomizes the bold fashion of the time and adds a striking element to this collectible doll. Key Features: Hair Fair Barbie Head: This doll features the sophisticated Hair Fair Barbie head, with its timeless beauty and short brunette hairstyle. The Hair Fair Barbies were a popular line introduced by Mattel from 1967 to 1974. These heads, which included models #4042, #4043, and #4044, were designed to allow fans to experiment with various hairstyles. Notably, Hair Fair Barbies were never sold with bodies—they were available as separate heads with various hairstyling accessories. Twist 'N Turn Body: The doll’s body is from the iconic Twist 'N Turn Barbie, first introduced in 1967 and produced until 1971. This body type, seen in models #1160 and #1162, was a revolutionary step in Barbie’s design, featuring a twistable waist and bendable legs that allowed for a greater range of motion and poseability. The innovative design was one of the defining features of Barbie during this era, adding to her dynamic appeal. Talking Julia Jumpsuit: The gold and silver jumpsuit, originally created for the Talking Julia doll (model #1128), was part of Barbie's friend Julia’s wardrobe. Julia was modeled after Diahann Carroll's character from the groundbreaking TV show "Julia." This metallic jumpsuit is a stunning piece from the Mod Era, representing the high fashion of the late 1960s. It perfectly complements the bold and confident look of the Hair Fair Barbie head. Condition Overview: The doll itself is in fantastic vintage condition. The Twist 'N Turn body is well-preserved with tight joints, and the Hair Fair Barbie head retains its vibrant facial features. The jumpsuit is also in good condition, maintaining its original sparkle and structure. However, it does require some minor restoration—both the neck and waist closures are missing one side of their respective fastenings, which can be easily repaired by a collector. Why This Doll Is Special: This unique combination of a Hair Fair Barbie head on a Twist 'N Turn body, dressed in an outfit from the iconic Talking Julia doll, makes this piece a rare and valuable find for any Barbie enthusiast. It perfectly captures the daring fashion and innovative design of the Mod Era, making it a standout addition to any collection.

Note: This listing includes the doll and her outfit as shown in the photos. Some minor restoration to the jumpsuit closures is needed."My whole philosophy of Barbie was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be.
