The blonde dolls are marked Mattel 1966 made in China. They twist at the waist and the knees bend. The red hair doll is marked 1966 Taiwan. I'm trying to find out what they are worth and also if the outfits are worth anything. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me
These are not vintage Barbie dolls, and weren't made in 1966. Without boxes, incomplete outfits and in played with condition, their value is very small.
The one on the left is Barbie Stars and Stripes NAVY Special Edition 1990 Military Doll.
The middle doll is Stars 'n Stripes 1989 American Beauties Collection Army Barbie.
The last doll is a modern Midge but I don't know which one.

These dolls were purchased in 1999-2000. Some variations of this later 1966 mark (1980s/1990s) are as follows:

Other ways you can tell if you have a later Barbie--
--large smile (Superstar Face Mold)
--arms bent at elbow
--waist that twists on straight (not tilted) axis as described above
--large plastic earrings or plastic "ring" made from little plastic bolt on finger
--very thick blonde hair
MOST of these Barbies, produced in the 1980s to the 1990s are virtually worthless if found nude. If found with all their original clothing and accessories, the dolls may have value to a collector, depending on which Barbie model the doll is.
