Barbies Quality

Barbie has been sold around the world. In America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and Russia etc. In these countries, these dolls vary in appearence. This has to do with the wealth of the country. If the country was a wealthy country eg. America, the Barbie would be made with great quality, if it was made in Russia, the Barbie would not be great quality.

Miss Barbie

This is the first Barbie that was made with eyes that will open and close. She was made to look like Barbie was sleeping. She wore a pink swimsuit with pink frills at the bottom. She wore a pink wig which was removable and had short brown har with an orange hairband underneath. She also wore little flip flops. When you lay her down her eyes would close so she would look like she was sleeping. This product did not sell well because the doll scared children! But it is still a collectors item.
