Great. How long before they'll be in the naked barbie bin at DI.

Amelia's pants are too tight.

I'm not the only person who thought that.

I would have loved the Amelia Earhart doll as a young girl.

I am a huge fan of society's (slow) embrace of more models of beauty and women's roles. Silly as it may seem, the new Barbies are a good thing.

Especially now they know what happened to Amelia.

So, do you still call them "Barbie"? How can they be Barbie when they aren't Barbie?

I'm so confused!

They barbified all the ladies and so they all look very good.

Happy to see it, no kid wants an ugly doll.

Also, so glad they had the good sense to leave out Frida's gross mustache.

Now Mattel needs to make the Barbie Lockheed Electra.

Does Ken 'Fred Noonan' come with a bottle of hooch?



Too soon?

Jayne Mansfield barbie doll, with the removable head...


What!? too soon?

Maybe an Anne Bolyn doll with a removable head?

Hey, I know! A complete set of Henry VIII's wives!

Inquisition collectable dolls.....

I never played with regular dolls, growing up. I liked my oversized stuffed animals though. I did have a couple of GI Joe dolls and green Army men, even though I was a girl.
A few of my friends had them too, as all of our dads were in the military. If they had Amelia then, I would of wanted her. My dad would of gotten her for me anyway.
I just heard something, that they MAY have recovered part of her bones , over on s Pacific Island. I don’t think they’re sure though. Hopefully, they’ll be able to go / find DNA, to be sure.
Now, hopefully they find the Glenn Miller plane.

"Barbie" Amelia Earhart:

"Real" Amelia Earhart:

"Real" Amelia didn't have fake Barbie's impossible hourglass figure, or oversized breasts. She didn't look anything like "Barbie."

But she was beautiful in ways "Barbie" couldn't ever be.
Hey, Mattel -- how about celebrating THAT?
And not turning Amelia into a sex doll?

They don't sound like much fun from a child's point of view. Adults will get to brag about them and that will be fun for them.

Link to the Barbie Amelia.

MHO, the real Amelia was more attractive and interesting than the stupid doll.

If you look closely at the Frida Kahlo doll, she does have a slight unibrow.
