[@Pocketmouse1990]

If you had done your research you’d know the dolls were NOT based off siblings or their image, only given the first names of the handler siblings and that’s it. the Barbie dolls full name according to Mattel is Barbra Millicent Roberts & the Ken doll is Kenneth Sean Carson. The dolls were NOT at all modeled or “based” off the handler siblings image.

[@syria0110]

Also another fun fact, Barbie's creator Ruth Handler's husband, created Hot Wheels

Jack Ryan worked on that too. Along with a few other projects until the relationship with Mattel soured.

Tbh I think some of barbie’s controversies were taken way out of proportion. Talking Barbie said “math class is tough”, not “ugh I hate math class”. Tbh it *IS* tough aha. Like any other class can be. Pregnant Midge in the happy family line sounds like a fun addition for a kid to play house with their barbies if they wanted to.

[@christineparis5607]

I "inherited" a very valuable collection of barbies in the early 1960s from my older sister's friend, who was dying to shed her childhood and get right to the real thing so was jettisoning her toys and dolls. All the clothes were incredible, there were hundreds of dresses and shoes, coats, hats, etc., so much so, that I started designing and sewing even more clothes for them and gained a lifelong fascination with style, and how transformative clothes and accessories were for even hard plastic faces (like today! Kardashians, anyone?). My only regret is that I gave away the whole set up when I was 14, giving away thousands and thousands in valuable collectible barbies and their gear without realizing it, but it was so great to thrill our little neighbors and see them busy creating lives for the now old dolls, who held up very well.

[@melissawiggles4594]

My grandparents got me into Barbie as a young girl. Giving them to me for birthday and Christmas. My favorite memory with my grandpa is him taking me to go get a Barbie pool for all my Barbies even. My step father ended up giving them all away one day when I was in school in the 3rd grade. I went to my grandparents house a couple years ago after my grandpa passed and I found one of my old Barbies. She lives now with me in my office. She’s a small part of my childhood that I treasure so much.

I had a Growing Up Skipper doll. When you turned her arm clockwise she would grow breast and turned her arm counterclockwise she would go back to having a flat chest. Barbie’s sister Skipper was one of those dolls that could confuse an eight year old on how breast are developed.

[@christineparis5607]

I had her too!! When she had boobs her arm was always stuck straight up like she was saluting storms troopers, so I left her breastless most of the time, plus I had to have one preteen doll for my story lines around ken, midge and so on ...

[@brittanyb7650]

I had a Midge doll, in fact I still have her in a box somewhere. She was my favorite Barbie because she was always the mom in the family. I never thought of her as a teenager. Yes, the removable stomach and baby are weird as an adult, but as a child I was just excited that I could play Barbie’s as having a family complete with dad (Ken), daughter (Kelly), baby, and mom (Midge).

[@xxelmoth]

I had one too!

[@ayaxmcgill635]

Wait, midge? Isn't she a character in life in the dreamhouse??

[@pilardavg]

Yes! She's a character in the Barbie universe, same as Ken, Kelly, Nicki or Teresa. They probably used her character for the Dream house show.

[@ayaxmcgill635]

@@pilardavg they did! She's actually how I already knew Barbie was from the Midwest! She's Barbie's vintage childhood friend, she's even black and white when she shows up, and a running gag is that she's not fully articulated so she can't bend her elbows or close her hands 🤣

[@maytalacedo1284]

I remember the pregnant barbie I didn't see that weird since it had an interesting idea of what a family looks like and young girls love to play house so it was interesting. and parents always complaining of everything they make of toys which is ridiculous and annoying.

[@the_UF365]

The creator of Barbie probably ended her relationship with her kids after making their doll counterparts a couple. Like they could have said, "Mother, you've caused us so much trauma in our sibling relationship that we can't even look at each other anymore... and what, for DOLLS?"

[@Pocketmouse1990]

The dolls are NOT actually toy counterparts of the handler siblings, she only used their first names and gave the dolls different middle and last names as well As different images. The Ken and Barbie dolls aren’t designed at all to be the handler kids. Ruth used their first names and that’s about it. which honestly there’s thousands of people running around this country with the names Barbie and Ken.

[@Pocketmouse1990]

And no, the handler children remained close to Ruth until Ken died & Ruth’s death. They didn’t like their first names were used for the dolls, but they loved their mother and stood by her. it’s said that Ken was a rather big asshole about the fact that the Ken doll didn’t have genitals, but he didn’t hate his mother if you read about them. The handler kids were only Ruth’s inspiration to create a 3D doll cause she saw Barbara only had paper dolls or baby dolls to play with & that’s why she named the doll Barbie….not because the doll is supposed to be her cause the doll is not supposed to be the image of Barbara handler at all.

[@markiel3599]

So happy yall included Trixie Mattel! Such an icon!❤️

[@dezeradoll]

Barbie and Ken were Named After Ruth's kids, Not "Based off" Ruth's kids. And they were given different last names. Barbie Roberts and Ken Carson, So its pretty obvious the dolls were not meant to be siblings. If you want to get technical, Barbie was Based off a doll made from a adult comic, Billid Lilly.

[@Pocketmouse1990]

Thank you! She only named the doll Barbie as the first name because she saw her daughter Barbara only had paper dolls or baby dolls to play with and that’s about it.

[@kpetr1]

I have played with those early Barbie’s! My aunts had them

[@danilarsson8685]

While the "math is hard" and books that say "don’t eat" were bad choices, among others, I never understood the doll shape controversy. While I do appreciate introducing Barbies of different ethnicities and abilities, the whole "irrealistic proportions" outrage just baffled me. She’s a doll.

[@karlsmith2570]

One of those Barbie characters that Mattel introduced, but whose name I Don't recall offhand, was this character who was confined to a wheelchair

[@jonanna1894]

Barbie is smaller now than she was when I was a little girl. My grandmother made some beautiful clothes for my Barbies, I mean they were fabulous. She gave me the clothes before she died and I bought dolls for them. They don’t fit. So frustrating. And the quality of the doll is not what is used to be either.

[@MilasMixMedia]

I didn’t grow up with barbie but i did watch the barbie movies as in like Fairytopia, Princess And The Pauper. But i had the dolls of the movies and the sets and everything. I knew about the Barbie that you could wind her up with her arm from a kid to an adult and make her have breast. But i seen like all the other vintage barbies online. But this is where it get interesting Barbie has been around for such a long time. When i go to the shops i do see barbie dolls. But i never knew back then they had a wheelchair barbie. I never knew that’s cause when you go the store there’s all kinds of different barbies and now they have a wheelchair barbie cause the world is evolving and people are different. But i never knew they had doll back in the day who was in a wheelchair. Now they made barbie in a wheelchair a thing. Make people especially younger children understand that people might be in a wheelchair or have a disability. It is great to see that reflected in barbie today. Also they branched out they Made other companies like they made a barbie Wonder Woman doll and the other dolls and i got the set of those especially Wonder Woman herself

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

My defense for the pregnant barbie is there could be kids who had parents who were hving another baby and the doll could be a way to see what the mom is going through. Since kids started playing with the dolls, they always took care of them like babies. They fed them a bottle, changed their diapers, played house,etc. Why is pregnant barbie any different. I won’t lie, the full process is kind of creepy, but the representation or depiction isn’t.

[@sema6008]

Naming the dolls after the children is ok. I don’t find it weird. You’re just making it weird and overthinking it. 😂

[@Pocketmouse1990]

Yep! Especially since Ruth handler gave the dolls different middle and last names….its not like she designed the dolls to be or look like her kids 😂

[@marniekilbourne608]

They were not based on siblings. The creator just named them after her kids. They were not supposed to be her kids!

Another fun fact is when she brought back the dolls to the factory so the men can create The New Barbie, they kept the curvaceous doll - didn’t change a single thing. And around the time we started seeing dolls w removable bellies with babies and anatomically correct dolls and so forth was when the MEN took over the Barbie industry. Rest assured a real woman would not or never promote a Barbie who with a quick blow to a tube will make the Barbie’s boobs grow.
