Tropical Island Fun with Barbie & Miko

These are my $5 bargains from the USA. As you may already know my sister got me Miko for Christmas in the box. I contacted a private seller who was selling Tropical Barbie and Island Fun Miko and Barbie at $5.00. He wrote back to say Island Fun Miko had been sold but had Tropical Miko for the same price. It turns out that Miko was listed on his site at $25 so I think I got a great bargain at $5. It was only a week later when my sister surprised me with Miko in her box. So now I have 2


Island Fun Barbie has the sweetest face (If her eyes look a little strange my camera seems to make them look a bit kookeyed) Its a shame her hair is a tad fuzzy but I may be able to get some conditioner on it to chill it out a bit.


Miko is just a stunning doll, I was going to sell her on after my sisters suprise however she looks totally different next to her so I decided to keep her.


I always rememeber Tropical Barbie being more pretty than this one here. I still like her and her hair is just so silky, long and soft.

I think Miko on the left looks more Hawiiain, she has more green eyshadow too. They are both very pretty dolls.

1985 Tropical Miko

Tropical Miko is an old favourite of mine (As is Tropical Barbie). We originally got Miko in July 1987 on a trip to Florida. It was very difficult to find Barbie's friends in the UK (If they stocked them at all?) so when we saw Miko we loved her.

My sister bought me this Miko for Christmas 2008 and she is a beauty.

Here are the many ways to wear the ruffle!

She has beautiful long silky black hair.

And a beautiful indian face mold.
