-the vintage era is more so 1959 to 1964/1965,
-the Mod era is 1965-1972,
-the best buy era/Mattel suffers the economy era 1973-1977,
-the Superstar/retro era is 1978-1989,
-the Pink "Collectors" era was 1990-1999,
and 2000s onwards is considered modern with its own subsets (like Barbie using the bellybutton body, and the Generation Girl sculpt until 2014. She got a new face in 2015 but her "original" body sculpt in 2016 is actually super different to the 2000s era)
Anyway, dolls from the vintage era tend to have only fans for that specific era and shit so yeah.
I tend to collect the Vintage and Mod era dolls, and a lot of 2000s era dolls since I think the dolls in between are fucking ugly.
