When I was 9 years old, for Christmas I received The Barbie Pan Am collection. I thought I died and had gone to heaven. I've been looking for this set for YEARS and can't find a reference anywhere! Thanks much! LOVED seeing it again. Thank you for this site. When I was 9 years old, for Christmas I received The Barbie Pan Am collection. I thought I died and had gone to heaven.

She must have been on sale really cheap because I remember getting her for my Birthday party in Feb then Santa brought another one to me for Christmas? When my mother found a sale she bought all of them if they were cheap enough and now that I am grown I know she probably paid maybe a buck for each doll. My cousins were all given one for Christmas too! Yep they had a run on Chatterbox that year and they all ended up at my house! Anyone remember the horrible doll Little Miss No-Name? I got her too and you know she was probably thrown in the dumpster or marked down 90%-100%! My toys were always the toys other kids hated and never wanted, the ones my mom always bought because they were marked down next to nothing! I'm still in therapy for this. I had the chatterbox doll.

There was a spot on her back or belly can't remember it was a water line and when you had the was to the line she splashed on her own. When you took her out she did stop. I'm so sorry I got rid of her as well as my other dolls. I also had Beautiful Crissy, and Penny Brite. Penny Brite was with me until I was a teen when I gave her to my step sister who was much younger. One thing I did was save my daughter's first baby doll and now that she's 26 and expecting her first baby girl I will be giving her back. I can't tell you how many times I rescued her from the garbage. Well, take care, Becky Tubsy did splash.

I have yet to find one in very good condition with her tub and robe! If anyone out there has one to sell I am VERY interested! I also LOVE little kiddles and remember the little jewelry dolls that you could pin on or there'd be a necklace or racelet? My fav(and another thing I am willing to pay for if anyone has) are the tiny ones in rings! I was born in 64. Take care all, Ruthy I had a Tubsy doll and am now searching for her.
