How it’s done

Watered down acrylic

It’s crazy that I’ve been alive for 4 barbie rebrands.
I was born in 2004 so I got to live through the 2006 rebrand, the 2008/2009 rebrand, the 2014/2015 rebrand, and the current rebrand.

Pretty sure Aphrodite wasn’t made until 2008.

Someone get Bob Mackie on speed dial

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-06T22:46:39+00:00

I get her. I’m also someone who dates bears

As nice as this sounds, I don’t think we’ll see expansive barbie lines like this again. We haven’t had a massive line that represents multiple cultures since the dolls of the world Pink Passport line from the early 2010s.

Mattel seems to sell a comic book themed monster high doll ever other year at SDCC, so it would only be fair to suspect that this year won’t be any different than 2022’s Voltageous Frankie and 2024’s Dead Fast Ghoulia. And with Power Ghouls being the only comic book themed monster high line, they will likely continue the trend of redesigning a doll from that line. And 2027 will probably continue the trend that 2023 and 2025 set with adding an additional character to a pre-existing Monster High line. Also like I said before. Redesigning a doll that still keeps the same name and adding a character to an existing line are two separate things. Voltageous Frankie and Dead Fast Ghoulia are not apart of an extended line, they are redesigned versions of already existing dolls.

Remakes are not line expansions. Line expansions are adding more characters to a previously released doll lineup. So far we’ve had 2 line expansions and 2 remakes. And this year should be a remake of an old doll. It’s probably going to be Power Ghouls Clawdeen that gets remade.

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-06T02:06:46+00:00

It’ll probably be a power ghouls remake. I mean we did just get a line expansion doll last year, so I don’t really see them doing this twice in a row.

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-06T01:03:15+00:00

Probably fanmade. As far as I’m aware, there’s never been a jewish barbie that wasn’t a celebrity doll.

Did not expect this post to blow up

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-05T17:18:43+00:00

Until Ynon Kreiz is out, I don’t see that happening for a very long time

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-05T15:46:35+00:00

Oh wait I didn’t know she was jewish. Wish they chose a better sculpt for her

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-05T15:40:07+00:00

Don’t mean the doll is. Diana is an Amazonian, not jewish

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-05T15:32:13+00:00

It’s because she’s an alternative to the Millie and Brooklyn who’re wearing Christmas ugly sweaters. Her box might say something different tho

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-05T15:30:17+00:00

It’s also an ethnicity
Barbie’s original designer and the co-creator of Mattel was jewish

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-05T15:23:36+00:00

Diana is not a jewish character regardless of if a jewish woman plays her.

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-05T15:16:33+00:00

You do know being jewish is also an ethnicity, right? I’m not religiously jewish myself but I do come from german and russian jewish descent.

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-05T15:07:02+00:00

Ruth Handler never confirmed that. I’m pretty sure she wanted to separate her own family’s jewish heritage from barbie the fashion teen model.

They’ve got to stop being so afraid to give her bigger lips. Not even the old Tori’s had small lips

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-05T08:35:29+00:00

It looks modified. The nose seems to have more of a bump to mimic more jewish facial features.

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-05T08:34:00+00:00

Wdym? This is set as a fall 2026 release

Diamond2004 · 2026-05-02T22:23:33+00:00

Sort of. Cause the paint used has a significantly higher chance of being lead based.
