1968 – 2018 Stacey™ doll

1968 – 2018 Stacey™,

50 Years of Fun and Friendship with Barbara Millicent Roberts™ and Christie™!

This character was Barbie doll’s “British chum”, part of the new group of Talking dolls for 1968. She was later issued as a Twist ‘N Turn version. These are the only two types of Stacey dolls ever made. The Twist ‘N Turn Stacey doll was available in two hairstyle versions, with two hair colors each (a pale blonde and a bright redhead color). The 1968 dolls had long hair, the dolls from 1970 and later had a short flip hairstyle. All the Talking Stacey dolls had a long side-ponytail hairstyle, again in pale blonde or bright redhead. She is the same sized at 11 1/2″ tall and thus can share her extensive wardrobe.

 She was only produced from 1968 to 1971 and if you were lucky enough to shop at Sears, you would have found two gift set exclusives for her. 
These were the only outfits made exclusively for the Stacey doll, other that her original swimsuits.
