I just got the new Midge yesterday. She is fully articulated, but a little stiff. She comes dressed in a pink polka-dot jacket, and a minidress. She is a pretty doll with mid-length strawberry blonde hair, bangs, and real eyelashes. She comes with a dress and a purse.
The first Midge was manufactured in 1963, and was marketed as Barbie's friend.
Midge was reissued in 1988 and 1993. In 1997 the Vintage Midge Reproduction Doll was released.
Mattel released a whole line of Midge merchandise, including paper dolls and coloring books. Mattel also made cases and accessories just for Midge.
