Barbie 1961 sees the best of the dolls created by Mattel; Vintage #5 Ponytail Barbie had a hollow body which was much lighter and Mattel also introduced the first red haired doll or Titian Barbie as she was referred to, (titian being the shade of red). The hair texture went from a soft Saran strand to a much more resilient synthetic fibre, and Barbie still retained her curly bangs (fringe).
Barbie 1961 was the first of the Vintage Collection Dolls to wear a foil tag on her
