Newsflash: Mattel to produce new fashion doll series!
Links to two articles about upcoming doll series, "Sisters in Style," from Mattel:
Here is the link to the Essence online article.
Here is the link to check the Richmond Times Dispatch
I first read about the Essence article on the UKBarbie Yahoo Group; then I read it at the Dolls of Color blog. So I'm adding the information here at my blog, with nods to the two original sources.
Any long-time Barbie collectors remember the early 1990s? Mattel created African American Shani doll for the African American doll buying market. Shani could wear Barbie clothes, but she was marketed as a separate series. Brown-skinned Shani had light-skinned Asha and darker brown-skinned Nichelle as her friends.
I'm looking forward to this new Black doll series due out this Fall.

There's a lot of talk, I see. Did anyone got a peek? I got curious and really wanna see. ^_^
Thanks for the nod, I've also added your blog to my links :)
Hi Niel! I haven't seen any photos. My usual source for doll previews, ASM Toy Fair did not have any information on this series.
I haven't joined the Barbie Collectors Club this year. So until someone posts photos, etc. guess we'll have to wait. Sigh. I'd love to see them, too.
Hi Dolls of Color writer ;-D. Therese? You are welcome to the nod - you were one of my sources for this post.
Thanks for adding my blog to your links. I've added yours to my blog list.
