Becky, Barbie's Wheelchair-Using Friend, Couldn't Fit Through The Doors Of Barbie's Dreamhouse, And It Also Didn't Fit Into The Dreamhouse's Elevator
Jrog 3 years ago
Curious fact: the iconic 1970s Barbie Dream TownHouse doubled as Big Jim's Headquarters, with just different colors and printed material. Mattel reused the molds of the still in production but already 10 years old toy to complete their male-oriented action figure lineup with the p*nis-equipped equivalent of a dollhouse. bj110.jpg

My niece received this for her birthday yeeears ago, and it made all the kids crack up laughing hysterically. It was ten times more hilarious, however, because her cousin's name is Tanner!

Teen Talk Barbie 1991
The dolls contained a voice box programmed with a random assortment of four phrases out of 270 possibilities, including "Will we ever have enough clothes?", "Let's plan our dream wedding!", "Want to go shopping?" and "Math class is tough", which was objected by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics as detrimental to the effort to encourage girls to study math and science

ALL of those listed phrases are hideously misogynistic. Ugh.

I thought Little Red Riding Hood was a child and... not supposed to be sexy? :( I'll take the wolf toy, though! I'm gonna just pretend he's licking his lips because he's hungry and wants that... mysterious... orange... square... sandwich?

You can't have a fun time being a McDonalds employee. And the reason her baby sister is with her at work is because their employees get less than 20 hrs a week so they can't afford child care. Go ahead hate me. I said what I said.

"Yo!" -as a child of the 90s, I can confirm that we did, indeed, often use the word "Yo!" Thus, this is an authentic doll.

Funny, I hated Barbies as a little girl (preferred G.I. Joes, Transformers, and He-Man toys) and I probably wouldn’t buy any of the Barbies on this list nor any modern ones, yet I’m going to see the Barbie movie tomorrow XD I acknowledge the doll’s impact on society (and the fact that the movie looks fantastic) even though I never played with a single Barbie in my life XD

I used the Clue weapons with my Barbies (many a murder mystery)… It’s all about what you make of them! And I hope you enjoy/enjoyed the movie!

Because she sacrificed her career for him and their family?
