Angelic Dreamz has photos and pre-order information regarding the new Dolls of the World, Italian Barbie and Russian Barbie.
Italian Barbie seems to have the Drew face mold; she's very pretty, and her outfit is more sophisticated than I had expected. Thumbs up - the white blouse, the black and white print skirt. I might get her although I am tired of the Drew head mold.
Russian Barbie has the Mackie face mold. Sigh. Her face screening looks nice, but I am even more tired of the Mackie face mold than I am of the Drew mold. Kudos for the outfit - I prefer the long navy greatcoat.
There are plenty of dolls for me to be eager about. I'm glad that these two are allowing me a break.

Barbie 2010 Doll Previews
No photos - just names and descriptions from The Doll Genie:
2010 Barbies
Let's start with the Ladies of the 80s dolls. Cyndi Lauper and Joan Jett are two iconic singers from the 1980s listed. Can I hope for Pat Benatar, Tina Turner, Gloria Esteban, Debbie Harry (Blondie), Paula Abdul, and Donna Summers? And on NEW headmolds, please? Saying please with whipped cream and a cherry on top ....
The Dolls of the World series continues with Italy and Russia. There must be a short list of approved companies because those countries have been represented before. Not arguing against their inclusion. Just curious why the same countries keep popping up. A desire NOT to challenge our country knowledge base? Sigh.
Then there's a My Favorite Black Barbie series to open with the 1980s Black Barbie. I have the original 1980s Black Barbie with the Steffie head mold. Pretty doll. Hmmm. It will be interesting to see which dolls are chosen for this series ... will we collectors get repeats of the Black-only issued dolls like the Fashion Savvy Collection and the Shani trio or the inimitable African American Oreo Barbie, possibly the shortest-lived Black Barbie on the market.
Whoa ... I better watch out or I'll get sued. Sigh. Me, I would add the Oreo Black Barbie because of the OMG-they-didn't-factor along with an explanation of the cultural significance. Sigh again. Then again, I am NOT in charge of a large doll and toy company. The world is a safer place. And I sit here safe.
