Are Barbie dolls still made of solid plastic?
« on: May 14, 2020, 06:04:37 AM »
So I'm wondering if Barbies are still solid plastic, because Mattel made their Disney dolls with hollow plastic, at least right before they lost the license. I wanted to get some of the Barbie characters, but I don't want to be unpleasantly surprised if they're hollow plastic. I was so disappointed when my Belle was.

Most Barbies that my child has recently gotten are the hollow ones.

That's what I was afraid of. Are any still solid, like the ones with a lot of articulation?

I could be wrong, but I think the change started happening when they started being more articulated. Or at least this is what I noticed in the Barbie dolls I bought, although those are all articulated. Same thing was going on with the Disney dolls, depending on the years, some of those are a hybrid of non articulated (bendable plastic) legs with the hollow plastic articulated arms. Some of the later Disney dolls were all hollow plastic articulated fully (arms & legs).

Wow, how strange! All of my non-Barbie fully articulated dolls are solid plastic. I wonder why Mattel wants to cut corners with hollow articulation.
