I didnt grow up with barbie but i did watch the barbie movies as in like Fairytopia, Princess And The Pauper. But i had the dolls of the movies and the sets and everything. I knew about the Barbie that you could wind her up with her arm from a kid to an adult and make her have breast. But i seen like all the other vintage barbies online. But this is where it get interesting Barbie has been around for such a long time. When i go to the shops i do see barbie dolls. But i never knew back then they had a wheelchair barbie. I never knew thats cause when you go the store theres all kinds of different barbies and now they have a wheelchair barbie cause the world is evolving and people are different. But i never knew they had doll back in the day who was in a wheelchair. Now they made barbie in a wheelchair a thing. Make people especially younger children understand that people might be in a wheelchair or have a disability. It is great to see that reflected in barbie today.
Also they branched out they Made other companies like they made a barbie Wonder Woman doll and the other dolls and i got the set of those especially Wonder Woman herself

I inherited a very valuable collection of barbies in the early 1960s from my older sister's friend, who was dying to shed her childhood and get right to the real thing so was jettisoning her toys and dolls. All the clothes were incredible, there were hundreds of dresses and shoes, coats, hats, etc, so much so, that I started designing and sewing even more clothes for them and gained a lifelong fascination with style, and how transformative clothes and accessories were for even hard plastic faces (like today! Kardashians, anyone. My only regret is that I gave away the whole set up when I was 14, giving away thousands and thousands in valuable collectible barbies and their gear without realizing it, but it was so great to thrill our little neighbors and see them busy creating lives for the now old dolls, who held up very well.

My grandparents got me into Barbie as a young girl. Giving them to me for birthday and Christmas. My favorite memory with my grandpa is him taking me to go get a Barbie pool for all my Barbies even. My step father ended up giving them all away one day when I was in school in the 3rd grade. I went to my grandparents house a couple years ago after my grandpa passed and I found one of my old Barbies. She lives now with me in my office. Shes a small part of my childhood that I treasure so much.

My defense for the pregnant barbie is there could be kids who had parents who were hving another baby and the doll could be a way to see what the mom is going through.
Since kids started playing with the dolls, they always took care of them like babies. They fed them a bottle, changed their diapers, played house, etc.
Why is pregnant barbie any different.
I wont lie, the full process is kind of creepy, but the representation or depiction isnt.

Another fun fact is when she brought back the dolls to the factory so the men can create The New Barbie, they kept the curvaceous doll - didnt change a single thing. And around the time we started seeing dolls w removable bellies with babies and anatomically correct dolls and so forth was when the MEN took over the Barbie industry. Rest assured a real woman would not or never promote a Barbie who with a quick blow to a tube will make the Barbies boobs grow.

I had a Midge doll, in fact I still have her in a box somewhere. She was my favorite Barbie because she was always the mom in the family. I never thought of her as a teenager. Yes, the removable stomach and baby are weird as an adult, but as a child I was just excited that I could play Barbies as having a family complete with dad (Ken, daughter (Kelly, baby, and mom (Midge.

Tbh I think some of barbies controversies were taken way out of proportion. Talking Barbie said math class is tough, not ugh I hate math class. Tbh it IS tough aha. Like any other class can be. Pregnant Midge in the happy family line sounds like a fun addition for a kid to play house with their barbies if they wanted to.

Barbie is smaller now than she was when I was a little girl. My grandmother made some beautiful clothes for my Barbies, I mean they were fabulous. She gave me the clothes before she died and I bought dolls for them. They dont fit. So frustrating. And the quality of the doll is not what is used to be either.

Barbie and Ken were Named After Ruth's kids, Not Based off Ruth's kids. And they were given different last names. Barbie Roberts and Ken Carson, So its pretty obvious the dolls were not meant to be siblings.
If you want to get technical, Barbie was Based off a doll made from a adult comic, Billid Lilly.

While the math is hard and books that say dont eat were bad choices, among others, I never understood the doll shape controversy. While I do appreciate introducing Barbies of different ethnicities and abilities, the whole irrealistic proportions outrage just baffled me. Shes a doll.

The creator of Barbie probably ended her relationship with her kids after making their doll counterparts a couple. Like they could have said, Mother, you've caused us so much trauma in our sibling relationship that we can't even look at each other anymore. and what, for DOLLS?

I had a Growing Up Skipper doll. When you turned her arm clockwise she would grow breast and turned her arm counterclockwise she would go back to having a flat chest. Barbies sister Skipper was one of those dolls that could confuse an eight year old on how breast are developed.

I remember the pregnant barbie I didn't see that weird since it had an interesting idea of what a family looks like and young girls love to play house so it was interesting. and parents always complaining of everything they make of toys which is ridiculous and annoying.

Barbie was always creepy and annoying to me, I much preferred Bratz. That and people take sit way too seriously and have to ruin toys. its so. I can't even finish that thought. So ken has an earring and wears a bikini 99% of the time, what's your point?

Meanwhile, Blaine has pretty much disappeared.
Not true. He's a major character in The Most Popular Girls in School.
In all seriousness, now I wonder if giving Blaine this name in MPGIS was actually intentional, or just a massive coincidence.

Well hopefully Barbie remains what it is today. My sister was quite a Barbie fan from when she was a kid, even I played with her with the Barbies at times though I was into other things.

I had the pregnant barbie doll. I removed the baby and stomach, and played with her like a normal barbie doll. Yeah, I never wanted children so she was no fun pregnant.

about 12: 40 in the video, there's a unique sculpture of what appears to be a near-naked woman sitting in a chair. Had to do a double take to see if was real or not.

Given she has had a number of careers and her and Ken were married and even had kids in one set, she clearly was not a forever teen. Skipper was a teen.
