Barbie gets a 'new' look!

1967 Twist N Turn Barbie (long straight hair) 

- Was sold wearing a neon orange swimsuit that had orange trunks and a white (with orange trim) fishnet swim stop.

- Looks similar to the Standard Barbie (below) but is on a bendable leg, twisting body

- Hair colors have unique names: Sun-Kissed (pale blonde or platinum), Summer Sand (ash), Go Go Cocoa (brunette or brownette), and Chocolate Bon Bon (dark brunette).  Titian (red) hair can also be found but is more rare.  Her straight, uneven hair is pulled up at the sides into a  tiny ponytail that sits on top of her head, tied with an orange silk bow.Length of hair is mid back to waist length and cut unevenly

- Eyes are blue, light brown brows, rooted lashes, deep pink lips and blush.

- The TNT and Standard are the first 'Mod' or 'Pink Skin' dolls. Their vinyl tends to pale and can become so pale that it looks greenish.
