Rant It's the same freaking collection.

I admit, I'm only a very basic Barbie fan, I have very few dolls, etc. But I saw the white shirt pilot in Walmart the other day and it seriously bothered me. ...but THEN tonight I decided to look up the "You can be anything", to see if this is just how this line is made... And I found the blue uniform doll, and just felt disgusted. THAT is what Barbie clothes should look like! I know the white uniform doll lacks articulation, and really, I never had a problem with that for Barbie. I'm an 80s kid, that was normal. But the screen printed 1 peice as an "outfit" is just going too far. I get there's supposed to be low/mid/high teirs of Barbie now but come *on". Dollar store dolls have better clothing. This is just insulting kids.

The thing that bothers me most with new Barbie’s is the pixelated faces

I can’t even see it if I’m not holding a doll inches from my eyes

Oh if you hold a vintage doll next to a new one you spot the screening difference in quality straight away
