1967 Reproduction Francie

Barbie Signature 1967 Reproduction Francie

My 1967 Reproduction Francie arrived this week. I was getting a bit worried since so many others had received their dolls and I had not even received a shipping notification from Mattel Creations, but alas, she is here. She is still in the box, but I took several photos, as usual, and I have documented this lovely doll in my spreadsheet.

Francie is housed in a "groovy" colorful box, the backdrop of which is a colorful door graphic.

Francie wears a reproduction of the Floating-In dress with fuchsia gloves and fuchsia kitten-heel pumps.

She is gorgeous!

The pointed-toe pumps have a cutout at the toe.

Francie has brown painted eyes, rooted eyelashes, and stiffened rooted brown hair with bangs and flipped ends. The closed mouth is painted pink which works well on her.

Some collectors have washed their dolls' hair which softened it and added length. 

A beautiful illustration of Francie is on the back of the box above the doll's description.

Click or tap to enlarge to read the description. According to the box, "No more than 20,000 worldwide" Francie 1967 Reproduction dolls exist.

One side of the box has trees and brick wall graphics.

The other side of the box illustrates a building or house shutters, a window, a brick building base, and flowers.

In comparing this doll with Wild Bunch Francie, I believe their complexions closely match. Below, I've added a photo of my other three Francies, which includes Wild Bunch.

Original 1965 Francie, Reproduction Wild Bunch Francie (1997), and Fuchsia 'n Fur Francie (2012)

I have added the 1967 Reproduction Francie to the museum installation of the First Black Francie, which can be read here.
