This is another doll I found at the bin store for $1. She's also bound for donation. But we can look at her, because he packaging has seen better days anyway. She's a Barbie Loves the Ocean doll.
She's a pretty doll. She has a bright colourful dress.
Although I don't think it's as well painted as some others I've seen. |
- The Barbie Loves the Ocean collection features diverse dolls, fabrics and accessories made from recycled materials and ocean-bound plastics.
- Barbie doll has a curvy body shape and naturally curly black hair. She is summer-ready in a striped sundress with a fun pineapple print and asymmetric ruffle neckline.
- From strolling down the boardwalk at the beach to attending a backyard BBQ, her breezy and versatile look can inspire kids to dream up all sorts of summery stories.
- Barbie doll wears white sunglasses and platform sandals made from ocean-bound plastics.
- This sustainably minded doll comes in FSC-certified recyclable packaging that is fully closed to help reduce plastic waste.
- Barbie Loves the Ocean not only provides kids with a sun-sational opportunity for play, but it can also encourage a love for protecting the planet and its oceans from an early age.
When I got her, her accessories were missing. That's not a big surprise, considering how things get thrown around in those bins. She was barely hanging in her box herself. I think she will still make a good gift for a kid. I managed to put her back in her restraints in her packaging, (all cardboard loops), and put her box back together pretty well. I don't think any kid is going to read the box to see what she was supposed to come with. I might throw in some new accessories I have anyway, because I bought something for one or two things, and ended up with some stuff I don't need.
She has limited articulation, and solid plastic legs, but she can move her arms and legs out to the sides, as well as back and forth.
So is Mattel going to clean up the ocean, one doll at a time? Is this really making a difference? I am not being sarcastic; I am just wondering if their plans are really helping. It's a great idea if it really works.
ReplyDeleteI just think it's a great idea, but if they are only going to do it on one line of dolls, as a marketing ploy, they aren't serious about doing it to help the world. If they really mean it, they should do it with all their dolls. I think it was a temporary jump on a bandwagon.
