Barbie ~ 1965-1966 Japan New Midge doll

New Midge was available only in the Japan market. She came with molded brown hair with a center part and no bangs and a blue headband. She has side-glancing painted eyes, no freckles, straight legs, and a USA Midge body.

Here you see her in #947 Brides Dream. The USA version comes with a gown, veil, shoes, long gloves, garter, necklace, and bouquet.

As you see the Japanese version comes with a gown, veil, shoes, long gloves, garter, necklace, bouquet, and panties. Note she is wearing earrings. The USA version does not come with earrings.

 I would like to thank Mr. Johnl for the use of these beautiful photos. I found these while searching eBay for some great buys.  As we all know photos do not stay forever on eBay, so I asked Mr. Johnl if I could use his photos on my blog and he agreed.
