White Ginger and Platinum Bubblecuts
1. 1961 White Ginger Bubblecuts:
In 1961 Mattel made a bubblecut that was named 'White Ginger' (hair color name on box as well). This doll came on a hollow 'Barbie' body, with red fingernail polish. What is special about her is that while the other bubblecuts from this year (as well as the 1961 #5 Ponytails) have red lips, the white gingers have a bubblegum pink lip color. But just like the other Barbies® from 1961, white gingers have the thin faces, green-blue eyeliner, and deep turquoise eye-color (both very hard to see in digital photos!).
Most white gingers have hair that has oxidized to a blonde color over the years -- but the original hair color was very light. Hair lengths (the fullness of the bubblecut) varies greatly.
Below are perfect examples of White
Gingers. Notice the thin faces due to the small neck knob of the 'Barbie' body.
Her eyeliner is green-blue (not powder blue) and her eyes are turquoise.
This White Ginger's hair (above) has oxidized over
time and is no longer as white as the doll's hair above.
2. 1963+ Platinum Bubblecuts:
Below are examples of the later, "Platinum' Bubblecut. Notice that the face is a bit fuller due to the large neck knob on the 'Midge/Barbie' body. The eyeliner is a powder blue (not green-blue) and the eyes are definitely blue (not turquoise). The platinum bubblecuts came with either pink or white lips (or the pink can oxidize to white over time).
