Question for folks who know a million times more about Barbie than I. >>

Posted by Marilyn on 2/26/2026, 4:49 pm

There are 2 of the Barbie Basics 2026 individual dolls that I think I want.
They were supposed to release today, 2/26 at noon 3 e.s.t. on Amazon. Nope. Did not happen and no word about why, or any other release date. Does anyone know what happened? I'd sure appreciate any info you might have. Thanks!!

I have seen them on Ebay from California sellers. I would imagine they'll be widely available soon.

Right now, I don't think anyone knows for sure. In the FB groups I'm in, there's a lot of debate (m

about when these will actually see the light of day.

They ARE (or were) available at the Mattel Store in California but nowhere else.

The basics You Create kits are shipping from Target on March 4th. Mattel also seems to have a release that day so there's some speculation that MIGHT be the day they release. Though honestly, at this point, it's probably anyone's guess.

Thanks so much for that info. I find Mattel quite annoying in all honesty!>>

I have seen that Europe has had them for several days, so it seems they are "real". I would think that the company would issue a statement 'sorry about blah, blah,blah .They will now arrive -______________ (fill in the blank).
