Barbie Millicent Roberts was born in 1959 thru the imagination of a lady named Ruth Handler.  Barbie was none other than the 11 1/2 inch iconic doll that we have either grown to love or despise but at some point in our life we all come in contact with her.  Barbie was the American prototype of another... read full review »

Barbie is not only expensive but also a bad toy role model for young girls.  Looking like Barbie is what girls long for and causes them to have body expections that are unrealistic and eventually cause damage.  Girls expect to look and like a plastic toy which is unfair to a child.  Their imagination... read full review »

Is Barbie a good role model for girls?
buying for durability, buying classic toys, buying for a kindergardener

I received my first Barbie a long time ago-she was a red head! I collected them, and especially like her cases and picking out fashions for her.  I never worried if I was as thin or pretty as her-she was just a doll.  Still, I knew she was no brainy or academically oriented girl. She ran after Ken and just cared about clothes. Hey, I'm a college graduate,and I love fashion.  I guess she did influence me,after all.  But I was always playing sports with the boys, and I was competitive with the smartest boys in school. I worry that girls are so segregated from boys now. They don't think of them... read full review »

Barbie is fun for girls of all ages. They can pretend they are Barbie. Barbie is beautiful.

Barbie creates a family with Ken. Barbie has many neat assessories to use as you play with

her. the Gone With The Wind Barbies are so pretty and Ken as Rhett is cool. I have had

many people admire my dolls. My I Love Lucy Barbies are very special also. they show all

the special episodes of Lucy.

Barbies are horrible role models.

Barbie is the worst example EVER. Tiny waste, perfect hair, straight white teeth, big boobs, everything your young daughter wants and more. It's obvious no one can get that way without surgery, and some children decide they need to do that to be perfect. Barbie makes kids think that they need to look better in order to be truly loved. I went through this stage myself. It's stupid and completely ridiculous. I don't understand how some parents like Barbies if they are such a horrible role model/example for children.

this is a fun toy for any little girl.  i loved barbies as a kid and my daughter loves them too.  alsways fun to play with when playing with her.  not enough clothes given with the doll but u can buy those separately.  figure is unrealistic but it is a doll so that usually is not a probelm.

I have been collecting Barbie dolls for the last several years or so.  They are so much fun to buy and display.  It is wonderful to see all of the beautiful clothes that you can find Barbie in.  She gives me a chance to feel like a little girl again, like when I got my very first Barbie.

I have always loved Barbie I use to play with them when I was growing up and I also collected some of the more expensive ones to. I then started buying Barbie's for my Daughter while she was growing up and now I have a Granddaughter and I buy her Barbie's once in awhile too.

THe new Barbie Kelly that comes on top of the elephant is the cutest thing! My daughter loves it.   You can pull the elephant with tye girl sitting on top and you  can even buy two more elephants that can hook p to each other to make an elephant march.

My daughter plays with her Barbies for hours on end. She loves to change the clothes and play with all the accessories they come with. Christmas and birthdays wouldn't be the same without a new one.
