EMidge became Barbies first girlfriend. She got her own facemold and looks more cheerful than Barbie. Even though their heads were patented in the same year, Midge was kept in the box for some years. Certainly Mattel wanted to wait if Barbie becomes a success or not. After she was, Midge had her first appearance in 1963 – 4 years later than Barbie.
Next User of the Midge Face were Barbies new friend PJ and the Live Action Christie.
Im Anschluss an die Midge Ära wurde das Facemold auch für Barbies neue Freundin PJ und die Live Action Christie verwendet.
