More on Steffie...

Miss Sapphire, Birthstone Beauty collection.
Update on September 10, 2011.


Another update to the Steffie list. I was able to look upon an actual Kissing Christie doll from 1978 yesterday. I don't think she's a modified Steffie sculpt. I believe she is a modified Mod Barbie sculpt. Her face is a little narrow for Steffie.

Does anyone who reads this blog have an opinion about this doll? I'd love to hear your opinion.

UPDATE ONLY.

Just a little more info on the Steffie sculpt. I thought I'd start working on a complete list of Steffie sculpts here, perhaps by year, and ask all my dear readers to help me add some sculpts I am missing.

For further reading on Barbie sculpts online, check out this site on Squidoo,  this wonderful entry on the Fashion Doll Guide on Steffie and her history (complete with photos!), this amazing website by Katti's Dolls on all Mattel face molds (also with photos) and a direct link to Steffie's page.

Plus, don't forget to visit this fabulous Flickr group, created just for fabulous shots of Mattel's Steffie sculpt.

Please leave a comment if you know of a Steffie-mold Barbie I've missed--I'll happily add them to my list!

Addition: I found another article on Steffie-faced dolls that is interesting by Rebecca Chulew. Be sure to check it out. It clarifies the license agreement between Mattel and Brazil's Estrela dolls.

Addition #2: I just discovered a Wiki site, dedicated to Steffie. Be sure to join, add your photos and your info. It's terrific!

  1. Does anyone know what face sculpt was used for the James Bond Barbie? She is one of my all time favorites. i think it may be the Mackie, but I am unsure. Thanks.

  2. Which James Bond Barbie? There were several, I think. Goldfinger does use the Mackie sculpt for sure. :)

  3. What about Kissing Barbie from 1978? I think she was a Steffie faced doll.

  4. I should add her, especially if I'm including the modified sculpts from 1998 (the birthday dolls). :) Thanks!

  5. On the Celebrate Disco dolls from 2008. Only the AA/Nikki one uses the Steffie facemold. The one you call Teresa is actually the Mackie facemold. You can find see her here: http://www.barbiecollector.com/shop/doll/celebrate-disco-doll-barbie-doll-n2441 I own both these dolls and can confirm they are different headsculpts.

    The Vidal Sassoon dolls are platinum editions, limited to 300 pcs. each.

    The Target exclusive Barbie Basics are called Collection Red not 1.5.

    You're missing the 2009 National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention souvenir doll giftset called Tribute. It featured 2 dolls, one had the nostaglic headmold in an outfit designed by Carol Spencer and the other was a Model Muse body with the Steffie headmold in an outfit designed by Matt Sutton. Barbie Collector has a pic of the set: http://www.barbiecollector.com/shop/doll/tribute-barbie-giftset
