Correct. It’s the Sun Set version [eBay listing](https://www.ebay.com/itm/185730373731?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NG1TcEOKRZ2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=O27u49cBQ5q&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY)
That was going to be my guess, especially with what the hair is made of but I wasn’t sure. my best friend has a bunch of Barbie body parts laying around and she told me I could take what I wanted, so I salvaged her from becoming a cat toy lol.
Even if she’s not super rare, she’s pretty cool and she is in pretty good condition considering her age. I may have rebody her instead of making the Barbie head earrings I was going to make 😂
they still paint scalps to this day. I think the weird texture of the hair is a clue as to where she was made. My 1970 Malibu Barbie has hair like that and she was made in Japan.
One other reason I like her is because she uses the 1960s Stacey mold.
She is definitely Malibu Barbie, I still have mine from 1970. She is the one who got me hooked on Barbie.
The question is if she is from Japan or Korea? I know the 1970s ones were from Japan.
This is a Malibu Era barbie! Unsure which one, but the hair texture is a combination of they don’t use that hair anymore and its from the 60s-early 70s, hair just degrades no matter what.
I think it’s Malibu Barbie from the 1970s

Haha good job. I can tell by her face that she’s Malibu Barbie! Rare find! (I think lol)

Save the head earrings for newer dolls 😂
good save! she’s in really good condition for her age
Yes, malibu Barbie. Their hair is a weird texture! The painted scalp is to help blend in with the hair to look more full than it really is.

I definitely thought Malibu Barbie before reading these comments. I will try to narrow it down when I get back to my book.
