Barbie's Mod Gal Pals

Francie, Becky, PJ, Casey (to be added soon...)
More pics will be added to this post.  So stay tuned.


Francie, Barbie's Mod Cousin



I purchased this original 1966 beauty (straight-leg) from ebay:


 Here's the reproduction of the gad-abouts ensemble
 A 1996  reproduction of her"Gad Abouts" ensemble

A 2005 reproduction of her "Smashin' Satin" ensemble.

Becky, Francie's Friend

As she appears on the Barbiecollector website:
This is a 2009 reproduction of the 1971 prototype which never was produced (until now). She has the Casey head mold, but so adorable!

My daughter was amused by the accessories and their details!  I wonder why Mattel did not produce Becky at the time.  It seemed that she would have been popular with the 'tweens. 

More information about Becky on the back of the box:


She's looking "mod" with her flip hairdo a la mid 1960's "That Girl" (Marlo Thomas).

My daughter being silly mimicking Becky's animated expression:

Nite Lightning giftset (reproduction of the 1969 original) from 2006
