Thought these would be handy for others, they have helped me out...almost weekly I end up with yet another Barbie from the charity shop and it's hard to know what year/era it's from just by the face. *I have now added some useful links to id Sindy dolls too*

eta 12/22: This is a brilliant site for Hasbro and Pedigree Sindys!
sindyzhome.piczo.com/?g=1&cr=7

ETA 26/9: A site that has lots of pictures of barbies, 80s, 90s and 2000s, as well as silkstone, holiday, anniversary, dolls of the world... it doesnt have every doll but it's still a great site!

eta new link 5/24: Debbies picasa album has every Sindy outfit from 60's til 85', named and pictured: Brilliant for iding Sindy clothes. The best 60s, 70s & 80s Sindy outfit id resource on the net IMO:

Do you know of any good sites for IDing Barbies from the 90s and 00s? I have been trying to find a good one to see what Barbies I have from my childhood. Thanks!

try this one:

You have to go onto 'Showcase' and then you can choose from vintage or modern dolls, then on the left menu it says 'Year of release' click on that and then you can click on what year you are looking for....hope this site helps you out!

ok unfortunately I cannot for the life of me find a site that IDs 90s Barbies, the regular ones. I think the problem is that there were so many...maybe it's too hard to ID them all?

What I did find however is a great Flickr group called '1990s Barbies' with over 500 pictures of 90s Barbies. Chances are you could find what you are looking for on there

www.flickr.com/groups/1067380@N23/

Hope that's of some help!

thanks! I know there was a ton of Barbies in the 90s! I remember thinking as a kid that they must of had a new one everyday.

You're welcome I will need to have a proper look at all those pics myself because I have a few 90s Barbies I found recently.

What about the playline Barbies from 2000 on?

Here are some playline barbies, not many though :/ :

home-and-garden.websho...o?start=24

www.picturetrail.com/s...w/11720283

pmcollectibles.homeste...line1.html

www.angelfire.com/art/...dolls.html

I hope those help! It is very difficult to find a site that has the whole playline from 2000 til now

What about the Fairytopia and Barbie Movie ones? I always leaned towards the more "fairy tale-ish" ones than the more "realistic" ones

toys.about.com/od/barb...ia2005.htm

that one has some info and a spotlight about the Fairytopia line and Mermaidia dolls.
