In recent years, we have closely followed a series of leaks related to Barbie. These leaks not only reveal details about the brand's upcoming releases but also trigger heated debates about the company's strategies and its relationship with fans and collectors. As an enthusiast of Barbie and a keen observer of this community of admirers, I cannot help but express my opinion on this matter. One of the most notable cases in this context was the incident involving Ada, known for her vibrant "Papuselemele" profile on Instagram. Ada dedicated her time and energy to sharing her passion for the Barbie ..read more

I don't think I'm alone in thinking Mattel totally missed the mark on that doll from the Ted Lasso series. I bought the doll for $28, nearly half of the original price. Instead of glamming her up in cheesy faux fur and Barbie-pink gown, they really should have designed her as we the fans see her. My son (a "Lasso" fan, but not a Barbie collector) says my version of her is more like the character. Thoughts? Natalie ..read more

Curiouser  and Curiouser, like Alice would say, but does Mattel listen when collectors request Mattel create a new doll?  I am just wondering on this because here we are in a forum engineered by Mattel where idealistically the collectors and Mattel are in an ideal setting where ideas on doll creations can be tossed about and explored involving both the collector-consumer and Mattel as the creator, where, I wonder, if the two can merge, that is, the creator becomes both Mattel and the Barbie doll collector/consumer rather than just the collector giving feed back on what Mattel creates ..read more

I am advocating for the creation of African American versions of the original nuclear family of Barbie dolls from the late 1950s and early to mid-1960s; this would include the original ponytail Barbie, Midge, Ken, Alan, Skipper, Skooter:  the dolls would have the vintage original body and face sculpturing, hair styles, swimsuits; the only difference would be the skin coloring which would be negro or black or variations of brown color ranging from light brown to dark brown.  But the facial sculpturing stays the same as the original; vintage in keeping with the nostalgia of the time &n ..read more

Lorena Velasquez, Mexican actress with multiple movie and television credits has recently died.  She was known in Mexico as the Queen of the Fantastic Theatre.  She is more world wide known for her science fiction and horror movies/adventure movies.  One of her most iconic roles was playing the Queen of the vampire woman in the movie, Santo contra las Mujeres Vampiro made in 1962.  It was released in the USA as Samson vs the Vampire Woman.  She did many of these types of films.  The years of her movie popularity were the 1950s and 1960s.  I would like to see ..read more
