I'M A GIRL AND I LOVE VIDEO GAMES AND WORLD OF WARCRAFT< SOME GIRLS ARE INTERESTED IN THEM LIKE ME!and dude don't get me wrong but grandtheft auto awesome!What is the value of a 1996 Spring Blossom Barbie doll?
There are two possible answers to your question. First is the list of dolls actually sold in 1966:
1. Bend leg/American Girl blonde or brunette, two different shades, two different hair parts, with Color Magic face, sold only in Japan
2. Color Magic black/red hair, two different boxes
3. Color Magic blonde/red hair, two different boxes
4. Color Magic gift set
5. Sew Free Wardrobe gift set
The above dolls were all made in Japan. They are very rare and can sell between $500 and $1,000 if in mint condition.
The second answer is more complicated. Mattel had the Twist N Turn waist for the Barbie doll patented in 1966, and that design of waist/body was used for dolls sold between 1967 and 1999. In other words, if you bought a doll that was new for sale in the stores in 1999, removed her from her box and undressed her, she would have the 1966 patent date on her backside. Hundreds of millions of dolls out there have the 1966 date on their behinds but that doesn't mean the doll was sold in 1966. A better gauge of the doll's age is to look at the country of manufacture:
1959-1972 JAPAN
1968-1970, 1989-1990 MEXICO
1970-1987 HONG KONG
1970-1987 TAIWAN
1973-1978 KOREA
1978-1988 PHILIPPINES
1986 to present CHINA
1986 to present MALAYSIA
1992 to present INDONESIA.
A nude, played with doll with the patent date of 1966 can sell for 25 cents and up.

Reasons why barbie is a bad role model?
Yes!!! Are you kidding me! Her song I'm a Barbie girl just says it there!
Heres a Part in it
BARBIE: I'm a blond bimbo girl in a fantasy world dress me up make it tight im your dolly!
KEN: Your my doll rock'n roll feel the glamour in pink. Kiss me here touch me there hanky panky!
see do you really think that that is a good role model! BIMBO? HANKY PANKY? Are you kidding me?
Yes. Barbie is a copyrighted name. The generic term is fashion doll.
I THINK I know what you are asking.
If you are referring to a real person with the name "Barbie," then the answer is no. If you're referring to the doll, just capitalize the first "B", as the name is copyrighted. If you want to write about that size doll in general, the basic term is "fashion doll."
Yes, 'Barbie Doll' can be capitalised but when talking about dolls in general it is lower case.

What is the value of a 1961 Ken doll?
According to eBay, absolutely nothing. If you're lucky, on eBay at least, you may get $4.99. There are some selling for around $50 but with other dolls and clothing included. For future reference you can check the 'Completed Listings' on eBay to see how much others got for the objects.
Is this a trick question? The Ken doll was not on the market in 1968. The last of the original skinnier Ken dolls was sold in 1966, and then Mattel had the doll off the market in 1967 and 1968 as it redesigned him. The more muscular Ken was introduced in 1969.
The Ken doll in question has a date stamp on it's back saying 1968. It is the more musclar one.
Do 13-year-olds still play with Barbie dolls?
some thirteen year old girls love to playbarbies with their friends. my friend is thirteen and i am twelve and we play barbies all the time together. i cant stop playing with them because if i do i feel like i am being myself. i think that my friend likes to play barbies because she has played with them her whole life. i have to but my friend plays with them more than me. so just play whatever you want. it does not matter how old you are. JUST REMEMBER THAT!
13 is when most girls are putting Barbies down.
If they want to, sure. True maturity is not caring if other people think your hobbies are childish.
It depends on the girl.
Why shouldn't they? I'm 60 years old and still buy Barbie dolls. They can become real collector's items if they are taken care of. Who knows, that Barbie the teenager buys today could be worth a whole lot of money by the time she is my age!
What things to do with Barbie dolls?
Anything. In creative play, you can enact scenes with the dolls, dress them up, style their hair. Some people like to make clothes for their Barbies or repaint their faces for a different look or to recreate a celebrity.
Some people choose to just collect them.
You can pretend they are your best friends.

The creator of the Barbie doll, Ruth Handler, named Barbie and Ken both after her children, and so Ruth never had Barbie and Ken date or get married. Many children like to assume they are married though. but you may have seen Barbie and Ken marry in many Barbie movies.
Despite all her wedding dresses, she's never married.
