[s]Am I the only one who likes Barbie dolls?[/s] I've been loving the inclusive dolls that Mattel has been pushing out, and these just made the Fashionista line even better! I really just wanna talk about Barbie so if anybody feels like joining me feel free to post an essay or something.

Is it true? Is Barbie evolving for the good?!

Not a fan of doll toys, but I find the history and trivia behind Barbie pretty interesting.

@smeen Though more into Monster High than Barbie, I love them both. Slightly disappointed with mattel about how most of the tight fit clothing is on the slim dolls tho. All I wast is a curvy doll in a jumpsuit XD.

What's your favourite of the new dolls?

@CatInDisguise I love Monster High too, but sadly that brand got canceled ( [emoji=eliminate] ). For OC purposes, I'm going to buy the doll with the prosthetic leg. I've had an OC who looks almost exactly like that (with prosthetic) so that one is my fave! And I feel you about the jumpsuit! I ended up customizing an old one I had lying around for my curvy girl. Looks amazing on her.

WHOA cool! i dont personally collect them but my uncle does! his collection is super awesome tbh, i never liked barbies as a kid but wowie hes got some real cool ones.
his birthday is this weekend, i should pick him up one :0

I think it's really good they are making more than the standard white, slender, blond Barbie! The different types of skin color, hair types, sizes, even disabilities - just amazing! And also the larger array of Ken dolls is awesome!

I remember I got this Pocahontas type Barbie which belonged to my mom when she was a kid, and I was so happy. I never saw a non-white Barbie before! She was and is my absolute favorite Barbie. Right now, it's in my sister's pile of toys, but as soon as she's grown out of the Barbie phase, I'm getting back my Pocahontas Barbie >:3

@smeen Wait it got cancelled??
That explains why I had to go on ebay to find one in the summer.

they are pretty cool but i like dolls more for aesthetic, i like monster high, ball jointed anime dolls ect
but these are PERFECT for kids, even more for kids who are shy about their height/weight/body type

I absolutely adore the new range for the Barbie Fashionista line- I came across a few the other day and was so happy to see how diverse the range has become. I don't collect Barbie dolls, but I'm glad to see the changes Mattel is making to make the dolls more inclusive. :D
