I actually felt the 1983 Spanish Barbie looks closer to a Filipina in a cartoonish way. She doesn't have a high bridged nose. She has relatively dark skin. She has full lips but not too full. She has gorgoues black hair.
Because of that, I have been wanting to have a doll with the Spanish head mold. Luckily I found one. I don't know what doll she was before since I got her from the thrift. She originally came with a PTR body and without piercings on the ears. I dressed her in the black outfit that came with the Superstar Barbie repro.

(Random thought)
Although I'm not an avid (another relative adjective) collector of Barbie dolls, I do want to have a sample of each head sculpt of Barbie's friends (except for my favorite sculpts which I have a number of versions). I mentioned earlier that most of the new Barbie dolls that are being released don't excite me as much. Select older dolls are different but I'm not in a hurry to buy those older dolls because just imagine... if I already acquired all of them I might already get bored. I realized that part of collecting dolls is the excitement of acquiring them. So what happens when you already acquired them?
