Vintage Barbie collector warning
If you have an early Barbie, Ken, or Allan DO NOT put them in the new clothes that are made with plastic-like material. I put my Allan in a tux I bought several months ago from the store, and I just found streaks on his arms and legs. The parts that are hard plastic are fine, but whatever they made the arms and legs of absorbed the dye from the tux's material. If the clothes don't feel more like real cloth, then don't put it on your vintage doll. I'm currently in the process of trying to clean the marks off. If I can't, then he'll only wearing clothes that fully cover his arms and legs.
TLDR: Careful with modern barbie doll clothes on 50s/60s barbies as the dye can seep into their limbs.
