There was an article in the Aug. 9, 1993, issue of People magazine entitled "Barbie bashing." It was about Mattel quality control tester Judy Rogers, who tested the hair for strength and durability. "...she also yanks Barbie's limbs, pours sand on her, burns her hair and bakes her in simulated sunlight," said the article.

What is the value of 14 1966 Barbie Dolls?
It depends on which dolls they are, what condition they're in, if they're in or out of the box, if the dolls still have their accessories, etc. I suggest individually looking each doll up on eBay or a similar auctioning site, searching for those particular dolls with the same conditions, and noting how much money they're going for.

What is the theme of The twelve dancing princesses?
I'm not sure its main theme, but I think it is about curiosity and magical world.
1) Curiosity- the story starts when the king announces his curiosity about the princesses' activity in the middle of night that makes their shoes worn out. He decides to marry one of his daughters to any man who manages to find the secret.
2) Magical world- This Twelve Dancing Princesses is about a 'story in story' because the princesses go into another world when it comes to the midnight. They enjoy their lives in that magical world with their men, rowing the little boats along the magical river and dancing untiringly until 3 o'clock in the morning. Everything in the magical world is totally wonderful and amazing because its all about fairy tale..

This is the history of Tutti and Todd.
Tutti was sold from 1966 to 1970 in the United States. Her twin brother Todd was sold in 1966 and 1967. Both of them were sold in Europe throughout the 1970s.
A taller version of Todd was reintroduced in 1992, as part of Midge's Wedding Party gift set. His twin sister Stacie was first sold in 1993. Most collectors believe Stacie and Tutti are the same person.
Todd was discontinued several years ago, but Stacie continues to be sold.
I believe that barbies are bad for children because they make children believe that they must have that great figure that a barbie doll has. Because of this perfection girls have become anorexic to fit their body into the size of a barbie dolls, in terms of skiny waist, perfect legs, etc. Besides that, Barbies are only good if the children felt bored or lonely. They want to know how life is.
Answer:
No I don't think Barbies are bad except if the children took the wrong turn. If you asked this question, then you must be a guy who hates girly dolls.
