All your Barbies are newer not made in 1966 . Go by name of Country on back I have provided with the date 1966 and it shows what year it was really made .
I hope this isn't to confusing but many people are perplexed by date and think they have a old barbie because of them keeping that date and not making new mold dates .
What about the first one it has MADE IN JAPAN wouldn't this be one of the older ones not newer?
She is a Malibu Barbie doll From late 70's . If in box and original clothes mint has collectors value . Played with and no box not so much. Sorry I missed addressing her in first post . But here is an example of her :-) They did some variations on her also some had painted on swimsuits .

Thank you Manikin ....Sorry but still a little confused. If you say late 70's and your char has 1959-1972 JAPAN wouldn't it be early early 70's at worst?
Thank you so much....:)
