Mattel makes dolls - and Barbie dolls no less, in all sizes. We have
Supersize, My Size, Best Friends Forever, My First - all bigger than the
regular Barbie doll, but they also made and make tiny dolls. It started with
the Rock Flowers in the 60's I guess, with a series of dolls, made of all
rubber (like Tutti) but with "shrunken" heads of Steffie etc. Family Corner
dolls in the 90's were next, with tiny versions of Barbie and her friends,
but not called Barbie, with hard plastic bodies and moved on to the Mini
Kingdom Disney Princess dolls with the same or similar bodies, before we saw
any Barbie mini dolls. There was a series of Barbie doll Minis, sold
separately or in sets, with tiny reproductions of older dolls, made in all
molded plastic.
In 2022 a new set of dolls were seen, the EXTRA Mini Barbie dolls. And yet
again, in 2023 there was a new set of miniature Barbie dolls, with the EXTRA
Mini Minis. These dolls came with clothes and cute accessories, and even
play sets. The EXTRA Minis and EXTRA Mini Minis have heads that reminds of
the lemon head Kelly dolls. But to be true, we can go back to the Liddle
Kiddles as well, as they have sculpts reminding of Tutti and/or actually her
friends.
Right now, I have no idea where this page
will take me, but it's a start of something new. Literally and yet not.
