Crystal Barbie - (1983)

I was actually quite pleased to discover this lady! She was in almost perfect condition, aside from some gross sticky stuff on her back (which took a LOT of scrubbing to remove) and a disaster of a hairstyle. We boil washed her hair and then Basil added some soft curls to her, which I found a nice little ribbon to tie around! She came out beautifully. She was very lucky compared to her twin sister, who had a broken neck.

The Heart Family - (1985)

I was in shock to find this entire family complete, with their original outfits! They all needed a good scrub and everyone but Dad needed a boil wash. The little girl took forever, since I had to remove her little ribbons and discovered she had glue to hold the ribbons in place. Several boil washes, conditions, and a lot of patience with a comb and I was able to fix her up! I got her hair put into new white ribbons instead! She came out so cute!

Sport n Shave Ken (1979) aka "The Twins"

I don't really know what to say about these guys except that they're probably my least favorite Kens I own so far. They have awful eyebrows and hair, their waists are way too stretchy, they're just not that great. I don't want to spend a while thinking or talking about them, so they're being paired on the same page. They took forever to identify since I kept thinking the outfit of the one on the bottom was his original outfit. Clothes are so deceiving. Anyways, here they are after being cleaned up and dressed.
