Skippy Skates:
1984 Canadian/European Sea Lovin’ Barbie. Made in the Philippines. I was looking for a “budget” Loving You Barbie when I saw her similarity with the 1983 Loving You Barbie. She has a white crystal stone ring but no earrings to match.

1984 Sea Lovin’ Barbie side view. I’ve been practicing my wraparound ponytail techniques using a pointy Japanese chopstick.
Skippy Skates:
The quality of her hair is good. Not sticky at all. Is there a Taiwanese variation of the Sea Lovin’ Barbie? Mattel used the Taiwanese variant of this doll for the box photos..
