NORTHWEST COAST BARBIE

 
YEAR: 2000

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed 

PURCHASE DATE: November 2025

MOLD: Goddess

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: Goddess mold! Love it so much. I remember always thinking this doll was gorgeous but never getting her. Well, now I've fixed that. And that catches me up on logging my Dolls of the World. I do have more collector pieces, but that will have to wait until after we've moved. Anything logged from here on out will likely be new purchases until after I'm settled at the new place.

THAI BARBIE


YEAR: 1998

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: November 2025

MOLD: Kira

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: I saw this lady twice at the toy store and left her there both times. Finally when I was ready for her, she was gone, so I got one on eBay, only for her to have been sold already. Sigh. Then I bought another and this is the one that made her way to me. She's awesome. I should have gotten her long ago.

MEXICAN BARBIE


YEAR: 1989

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: November 2025

MOLD: Spanish

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: I had to get this lady in my quest to add more Spanish mold dolls to my collection. Gorgeous outfit!

ORIENTAL BARBIE


YEAR: 1981

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: Unknown, but between 2013-2017.

MOLD: Kira

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: This is the first Asian Barbie! Yeah, she was called Oriental Barbie, but it was 1981. This mold was initially called the Oriental mold because she's the first to use it, but it's more commonly called the Kira mold now. She's a lovely doll. She just has a very outdated name. 

SPANISH BARBIE


YEAR: 1992

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: January 2018

MOLD: Steffie

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: I got this girl for $5 at a doll show! Definitely well worth it. Steffie face and I love the outfit colors. 

MOROCCAN BARBIE


YEAR: 2013

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: December 2013

MOLD: Lara

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: Had to get the second Moroccan girl to hang around with the original! Lovely use of the Lara mold. 

SCOTTISH BARBIE


YEAR: 1981

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: Unknown. Likely 2009.

MOLD: Superstar

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: Another not on my wanted list, but I ended up falling for her and likely grabbed her on eBay. She's fantastic!

MOROCCAN BARBIE

 

YEAR: 1999

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: March 2013

MOLD: Christie

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: This is my favorite non-Princess DotW. Even more than the ones I wanted as a kid. I absolutely adore this doll. The use of the Christie mold is beautiful and her outfit is beautiful. 

JAPANESE BARBIE


YEAR: 1985

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: Unknown. Likely around 2009.

MOLD: Kira

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: The fourth of the childhood wanted dolls! So it was Japan, Paris, India and Spain. 

INDIAN BARBIE


YEAR: 1982

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: March 2013 

MOLD: Steffie

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: Even though she was one of the main group I wanted as a kid, it took me the longest to get this lady. Some of them have unusual eyes, like they're printed with too much paint or crooked. Picking out just the right doll took time. 

KWANZAA BARBIE


YEAR: 2006

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: 2006

MOLD: Goddess

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: I wish I'd gotten more of this line and kept them! This is the best one though. So stunning. 

PRINCESS OF THE FRENCH COURT


YEAR: 2000

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: Sometime before 2013, which is the first photo I have of her. I purchased her in an antique mall but cannot remember the year. 

MOLD: Generation Girl

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: Not one I wanted when she first came out, but undeniably beautiful. She made her way to me many years after she first came out and now I actually have two. 

PRINCESS OF THE RENAISSANCE


YEAR: 2004 

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: 2004

MOLD: Mackie

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: Doing these entries makes me wish they'd bring these lines back. The details on these dresses. The lesser used colors. The history. Sigh. 

PRINCESS OF CHINA


YEAR: 2001

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: 2001

MOLD: Goddess

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: I am likely upgrading this girl soon, as the string holding her intricate hairdo together has broken. I cobbled together what you see here, but it's far from perfect. She's so gorgeous! Definitely worth buying a second time. 

PRINCESS OF THE NILE


YEAR: 2001 

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: 2001

MOLD: Goddess

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original. Missing one bracelet that Amenirdis from my Bratz collection is wearing. 

NOTES: She is almost perfection. I am just glad the dress is so long that it hides the golden high-heeled sandals. Definitely NOT accurate! Not that gold fabric would have been either, but it's easier to forgive because every damn Egyptian doll uses it. 


PRINCESS OF ANCIENT GREECE


YEAR: 2003

PURCHASE CONDITION:  

PURCHASE DATE: 2003 

MOLD: Goddess

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: Another lovely Greek lady.

NOTES: Gah, so gorgeous. She's divine. 

PRINCESS OF THE INCAS


YEAR: 2001

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed 

PURCHASE DATE: 2001

MOLD: Goddess

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: When these came out, these ladies instantly became my most beautiful Barbies. I couldn't get over how stunning they were! This one, India and Nile remain three of my favorite DotWs of all time. The hair and outfit on her are exquisite, as is the Goddess mold. 

IRISH BARBIE


YEAR: 1984

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed 

PURCHASE DATE: October 2009

MOLD: Steffie

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

PURCHASE DATE: September 2009

MOLD: Diva

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: Absolutely stunning use of the Diva mold. She's beautiful.
