So many disabled dolls just have their only personality trait to be their particular disability, but instead Mattel didn't mention it at all.

It's impressive that they actually tried to make it look like a real yearbook, but then didn't bother to make the names and autographs actual words - why? <br />I was going to suggest the large mermaid tail on a Disney Animator doll or Fancy Nancy doll since they are all vinyl, and thicker in the waist (maybe too thick though).

Not only are there adults with wheelchairs but many children are, some temporarily but others for the rest of their lives. I'd like it if they made a Barbie like Delilah on NCIS. Barbies and Kens with prosthetic limbs would be inspiring (and accurate) especially if they create Marichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295287855690799143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-17009359872867170902015-08-17T04:08:43.148-04:002015-08-17T04:08:43.148-04:00I bought that Becky on ebay a couple months ago- t...I bought that Becky on ebay a couple months ago- the yearbook is just random letters, I think.

I have an old Barbie book that I had been reading to the girls with this character in it so it's so interesting to see they made a doll version of her. <br />My 6 year old discovered these "life-sized" Fin Fun mermaid tails from a YouTube video and has been telling me all about them. I am really surprised to see they make doll versions.

It would be a snap for an experienced seamstress to make, but there's a lot to factor in the cost from an actual company. I would contact them about the black and gold outfit that doesn't fit. At that small size, even being a bit off in the seaming can have big consequences.
