Can someone please answer a question for me

Posted by Sue in CO. on 7/6/2024, 6:34 pm

I just saw the new silkstone on the website. Love the outfit and the doll is pretty but why on earth did they give her a poseable body when the original is the best. I mean, isn't that when sales started to drop when they introduced that poseable body.

Of course, this is just my opinion but I wish they would stop trying to make the doll better when IMO she was fine the way she was before Mattel started to become PC. They let the opinions of a few idiots rule their company while ruining Barbie. She was never meant to look like US-for pete's sake she's just a doll.

Anyway, I did preorder her-if I had read the description first I wouldn't have.

Looks like the new Swirl repro is the original Silkstone body style.

Sadly some collectors think every doll has to be articulated.

the poseable body. I also think Mattel should listen to collectors and not the general watchdogs out there.
