A photo of what seems to be the head (with the hair chopped off) of 2015 Tokidoki Barbie was posted on FB.
Like most offcuts, if there's one, there's probably more.

Spot the Difference 104
How many differences can you see?
Clue: How many African-American Barbie dolls were prevented to be sold outside America?

Lull
There's a certain kindness to her beauty that can keep me staring mindlessly. As some of the best stories go, nothing needs to happen.

Best Buy Brushes
If you're a hobbyist from the Philippines who wants to try repainting dolls, don't use the Best Buy brushes from National Bookstore. You want the bristles of the brushes to cling together for you to be able to paint fine lines. The Best Buy brushes don't behave that way. I use brushes from Deovir or Lil's Hobby Shop at SM Malls.
Who is Barbie?
A video entitled "Who is Barbie?" was posted on Youtube recently. The answer to the question was shown in the frame below.
It is attempting to redefine Barbie as dolls of different ethnicities rather than just the blue-eyed blond with the rest as just her friends. Mattel is trying to score some relatability points with the campaign.
Will this work? I doubt it. For it to work, they should change all images of the blue-eyed blond in non-doll Barbie merchandize like kid's clothes, school supplies, party favors, books, similar items AND all their tags and labels. I mean billboards, too. How about in Barbie's IG account, will there be race-bending?
Plus, how will they explain the other dolls having different names like in the Life in the Dream House webisodes? There's going to be a conflict with Barbie having an identity and Barbie trying to be everybody.
