@Kim hays, That is so true. It’s just hard to keep them away from little girls.

I’m not a barbie fan in general. the dolls don’t look like any human woman I know.

@Mariana, I agree that they need improvement, but still a step. They do come with the little sister according to video, but I haven’t found them in stores yet.

I saw these dolls at a toy showcase earlier this month, and was actually impressed. I mean, they have the same unrealistic Barbie body, but each doll’s skin color is a different shade and their faces look different. I can’t remember how many there were… maybe 3 or 4? And they came with ‘little sister’ dolls.

@Jill@ModernMommyBlog, Maybe they’ll get them soon! I didn’t see them at first, but am now seeing them.

Unfortunately the Target by my house doesn’t have any non-white Barbies. Drive’s me insane!

@ThatsSoYummy, I think it was a wonderful way for her to spread the word on the new dolls by being there. And I’m so jealous that you were at Blogalicious!

@Nicole, So glad to hear that! I agree that there’s still some improvements to be made on the dolls.
