This means you don’t have to bother looking at anything earlier than 2016.Īn excellent resource for more information about facemoulds is: Look at Anything A Bit “Different” About the Doll (for example hair, tattoos, piercings, earrings, etc.) Looking at the body and facemould years can help you to work to a process of elimiaton. Just like the body, there are also markings on the back of the head that tell you what year the facemould was first produced! Most common is the 1998 “Generation Girl” facemould (you’ll find this on most 2000s dolls) and the 2013 “Millie” facemould (you’ll find this on more modern 2010s dolls).

(on the left) If so, this is called a “Made to Move” body. The dolls arms and legs will be rubber (easily bendable), and usually the underpants will have the Barbie logo pattern on them.
