Polish 'Barbie Doll': What do Polish Women Think?

This is an important cultural issue, IMHO...What is the opinion of Polish women on this doll?...I feel the traditional outfit is fine, but perhaps a more current Polish fashion style would be an appropriate alternative...Polish women, what do YOU say?



Ruth Moscowitz Handler, Barbie 'Creator'

Her parents were from Poland!

Polish girls look like barbie dolls,I see now where this woman got her inspiration.

The doll you're showing is missing her hair decorations. Here's a pic of what my Polish Barbie Doll looks like, mint in box.


I wish I had Barbie's figure!

But 'Barbie' is only about 12 inches tall and made from plastic!...I'm sure your figure is fine...But, what about a more modern 'Barbie', more contemporary?

I heard that the creator was German. He didn't follow through on his idea and Mattel developed it. Maybe I'm wrong but that's what I taught my students at Profi when I taught there.

where can i find one for my lil girl?

She actually got her inspiration from a German doll called "Bild Lily" :D

M-G (bad, southern, bad!)

Ruth Handler also had Mattel create Barbie for her own daughter. (You've heard it from the Barbie Queen, herself. I own over 300+ vintage Barbie Dolls.)

Wot?Wot?Wot???
Polish Barbie is half German??? Mod, open a thread!

Well, she got her inspiration from a German. She found the Bild Lilli doll in a Swiss shop.

based on wiki yes but who knows the true

Not only based on Wiki, trotter. That's not my preferred choice of info :) (well, it spreads BS about 9/11 for starters).
