PB BARBIE
( MA−BA CORP. 1986)

In 1986, it was called "a path of Burahmus", and to an alley of Tokyo Field inn, a PB Store opened it.
It is called "PB BARBIE" from what was sold there.
Issue 2 store opened to Tokyo-Shibuya in the next year, but closed 2 store together in 1988.
It was sold in department stores after a PB Store closed.

The picture shows left PB Barbie, original PB.
(PB Barbie Attack Model)

My partner owner of Music Studio and label, and he released omnibus record from his label several years ago, a cover picture of that jacket was 6O's GO-GO girl.

He asked "MA-BA" to make this PB BARBIE as same style and costume as
"cover girl" of his record. Because a president of MA-BA Corp. loved garage sound, in his story in those days, it is that I undertook this story agreeably. For 1984 years, it is a thing for ten years already.

"PB Barbie Attack Model" was only three in the world!!!
Their all handmade dress is delicately different in each.
The photo's left PB was owned of his friend.
Through long time, she is back to our place!
Unfortunately her vinyl dress is a little dirty, and applique of chest was unstuck. But we are very happy!!
