The 1961 Bubble Cuts (#850) wore red lipstick and were on the hollow barbie only body, which is the same body as that of the ponytail #5 Barbie. They had a smaller neck knob. These blue eyed Barbies often have greasy faces. (There was a breakdown in the vinyl Mattel used to make the dolls.) They also have a shorter bubble cut hair syle; Haircolors: raven (black), titian (red), blonde, and the extremly rare brownette. She came with a black and white swimsuit. In 1961 they had red lips, with one variation to this Barbie, and she was called a White Ginger because her lips were a bubblegum pink color. Everything else was the same. She is much harder doll to find.

1961 White Ginger #850 Bubble Cut Barbie Doll
The rare White Ginger was only issued in 1961. She has a tight bubblecut hair style. She's on a Barbie only body with the small neck knob. She has dark turquoise eyes, pink bubblegum lips, red nail and toe polish and very light blonde hair, which over time could oxidize to a darker blonde.
In 1964 and 1965, the Side Part Bubble Cut Barbies were released, but only in Europe and Canada. Mattel did not have them available in the United States, which makes them a rare doll!
