1968 paper doll set introduces Christie and Stacey

Although not mentioned as such, the 1968 Whitman set #1978 Barbie Christie and Stacey features the three talking dolls and numerous Mattel outfits.  I don't know if the sentences written on the inside folder are some of the things the dolls actually say.

The dolls come with a new type of stand that separates the legs a little, making the feet 3-dimensional to look like they are walking.  The dolls actually look like 16-year-old girls for once, but the way the clothes are drawn they look like they are for a woman in her late 20s or early 30s.

For once, all the clothes are Barbie's and not Francie's as well.  The most intriguing outfit is the rendition of Snug Fuzz, which looks more like a Chanel suit and less like something you'd wear to a funky party on a very cold day.

I believe this is the first paper doll set to feature Christie.  I've seen other sets with her, but I do not own them.

Talking heads!  On the inside of the folder,
Barbie, Stacey and Christie are speaking into microphones.

Only Stacey wears her actual swimsuit.
Barbie and Christie have Whitman-designed ones.

Snug Fuzz looks like a Chanel suit, and the jacket can be worn over Knit Hit.
Snap Dash is prettier as a paper dress than an actual one.
The jumpsuit is Pajama Pow from 1967.
