Terrific non-TV Toys: Barbie carrying case and fashions, Mattel, 1968-1970s

Previously on the Terrific non-TV Toys series, you saw the '70s Malibu Barbie, Ken, P.J. and Skipper dolls of this author's childhood, for better or worse, for whatever weathering these treasures may have endured over the decades, even being simply stored in a box. Then there was the Quick Curl Francie doll on a more-recent episode. So consider the newest episode of the series a conclusion of that Mattel story arc, as we take an up-close-and-personal look at the Barbie-branded doll and fashion carrying case that went with it all -- along with some luscious fashions! This is truly a trip back in time ...

Terrific TV Toys: Batgirl walkie-talkie prop replica by NECA, 2023

I love that this one is dropping in my birthday month, because it showcases a pure Batgirl item, so meaningful to this author. This was a gift from this past Christmas, aided by BRBTV's unofficial procurement chief Mike, and it's a replica of an actual screen-used item of the "Batman" 1960s TV series. See the photos at the end for Yvonne Craig as Batgirl holding this item in a scene. "Over and out, Batman!!!!"
