Barbie Dolls

Wednesday, January 07, 2009

Since Mattel introduced Barbie, the teen fashion sensation, in 1959, she's never looked back! Young girls in each generation since then have grown up loving Barbie and all her friends.

Barbie dolls, clothes and accessories are a 'must have' for every young girl - and there's no such thing as 'too many' Barbie things!

	Best Selling #1 Princess Genevieve Doll - Barbie In The 12 Dancing Princesses Capitalizing on the princess passion so many young girls harbor these days, the folks at Universal Studios and Mattel have developed a veritable princess bonanza with the "Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses" dolls and DVD. Not to be confused (or linked too closely) with the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the same name, this story deals with a dozen princesses who are taught royal etiquette by a duchess who does not believe in fun and games. Genevieve (played by that star of stage and screen, Barbie) and her sisters find a way to bring dancing and joy back into their lives. The glamorous Genevieve doll is sure to spark hours of imaginary playtime among girls, whether they've seen the movie or not. Genevieve's skirt is a froth of pink and gold that actually spins and lights up! Her adorable little kitten accompanies Genevieve/Barbie, and is decked out in her own rose-colored gown and gold crown. Requires two "AAA" batteries (not included). Other sisters are sold separately. --Emilie Coulter $9.99 Usually ships in 24 hours
	Best Selling #2 Barbie Hot Tub Party Bus Vehicle Play Set Uh-oh, has Barbie gotten herself into hot water? Yes, literally! Our leggy friend's latest acquisition is a party RV with built-in hot tub. Now, any time they want, Barbie and her pals (dolls not included) can call "road trip" and away they'll go. All the comforts of, well, a luxury hotel! The big pink bus opens up on one side to reveal kitchenette with stovetop, oven, microwave, fridge, sink, cabinets, and table. The second room is a combination living room/bedroom, with a sofa that expands to become a bed, closet, bookshelves, and lots of knick-knacks (boom box, potted plant, fuzzy pink pillows, etc.). There's also a bathroom behind the kitchen, complete with toilet (you can lift the seat), sink, shower, toilet roll, towel rack, and fabric towel. Exhausted by all these amenities? Open the outside wall of the RV to find, under a canopy, a hot tub with removable basin $29.99 Usually ships in 24 hours
	Best Selling #3 Barbie in The 12 Dancing Princesses: Magical Dance Castle Every princess needs a castle; a pack of a dozen princesses needs a truly fantastic one. Based on the "Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses" DVD (which is very loosely based on the Grimm's fairy tale), this two-story fortress is equipped with enough glamour, sumptuousness, and secret passageways to satisfy the most fanciful of imaginations. Decked out with the standard (in royal circles, anyway) turrets and alcoves, the castle features sleeping space for all 12 princesses (one bed expands to sleep 9, and the dining table converts to a bed for the triplets), an upstairs vanity, eating area with table and chairs, and a staircase leading to a "hidden" door, behind which is a magical dance pavilion with a spinning surface. The sisters, whose strict aunt won't allow dancing, can secretly dance to their heart's content, accompanied by music. Girls who are deep in the throes of princess adoration will be over the moon when they see this two-sided playset. Princesses (and prince) are not included, nor are the two required "AA" batteries. --Emilie Coulter $64.99 Usually ships in 24 hours
	Best Selling #4 Barbie In the 12 Dancing Princesses: Horse Since going to the ball in an SUV or minivan doesn't quite have the romantic appeal of a horse-drawn carriage, and a dozen party-bound princesses are likely to squash any regular carriage like the pumpkin of another fairytale, the only viable solution here is $24.44 Usually ships in 24 hours
	Best Selling #5 Barbie 3-Story Dream House Playset Have you dreamed of a home that includes a grand entrance with winding staircase, gourmet kitchen, spacious living room, master suite with canopy bed, bathroom with luxurious tub, entertainment room/guest room, and every convenience and luxuries imaginable? Barbie's done the same kind of fantasizing. Lucky girl, her dream has come true! Her three-story Dream House is fully furnished, ready for arranging and rearranging. Barbie can do her face at the vanity, turn on the light, fix dinner at the stove ("szzzzlll"), answer the doorbell ("ding-dong"), entertain her friends, play music, toss her clothes in the hamper, do her laundry in the washer and dryer, and even flush the toilet ("ssshhhh"). The third-floor entertainment room can be removed as a take-along mini-playhouse. Girls will spend hours and hours playing with this giant (44.5"H x 43"W x 14.5"D) playset, finding ever new ways with the more than 70 play pieces to arrange Barbie, her pals, and her furniture (dolls not included). The entire playhouse can close up when not in use. Who says dreams can't come true? Not Barbie, that's for sure! Adult assembly required. Requires three "AA" batteries and two "AAA" batteries (not included).--Emilie Coulter $99.99 This item is currently not available.
