1983 Great Shape Barbie. Made in Mexico. Variant similar to the made in Hong Kong. She has darkish brown eyebrows and orange lips. Was a bit upset when I got her instead of the other Mexican Great Shape version which I have not seen elsewhere.
Skippy Skates:
Another variant of the Mexican Great Shape Barbie. She got posted to me by accident by an inexperienced Barbie seller on Ebay. I was suppose to receive the other Mexican variant with more rounded eyes. This version looks very similar to the made in Hong K

1984 Day-to-Night Barbie. Made in Malaysia.
Skippy Skates:
1984 Day-to-Night Barbie. Made in Malaysia version. In my humble opinion she is the prettiest variant with eyes similar to the Malaysian Peaches n Cream. She has a more youthful appearance due to her low forehead and hairline.
