Easter Barbie dolls - past and present: a series on Easter Barbies



The first time Barbie officially celebrated Easter was in 1959 when Mattel issued the vintage Barbie Easter Parade outfit which featured a black
coat over a colorful print sheath dress. The following year, Mattel
continued to make the dress without the coat.



The next time an Easter-themed Barbie doll appeared was not until 1993 when Mattel made the Easter Fun Barbie doll. Barbie wore a white dress with a colorful Easter egg print and came with stickers to decorate eggs inside the box.

An ocean full of mermaids: Barbie, Skipper, Ariel 'The Little Mermaid,' and mermaid clone dolls Friday, April 16th, 2010 · 1 comment   All photos © Kathryn E. Darden. All rights reserved. An Ocean Full of Mermaid Dolls  The doll that got me back into collecting Barbies as an adult was a mermaid Barbie . It's true I had been thinking about trying to replace the vintage dolls which were stolen from my mother's attic, and a friend had suggested I buy a reproduction Barbie , but the doll that lured me in was a mermaid - the 1995 Jewel Hair Mermaid Barbie Doll , to be exact.

Dreamworld Trolls by Mattel

Image
  Not too long ago, Walmart put their Dreamworks Trolls on sale for $5.97, so I decided to grab one. I never saw the movie, but I collected Russ trolls as a little girl, so I have occasionally added a thrift store troll to my collection through the years after losing all the ones I had as a child. Also, being a fan of the Pink Plastic Princess means the Mattel label on the package didn’t hurt, so I nabbed the pink girl troll.    The box date is 2023 and the packaging says “Dreamworks Trolls Band Together.” Related : Mouse in the House Caters to Kids Elf on the Shelf Falling Out of Favor ?
