Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse Raquelle Doll

Product Information

I don’t collect the later non-articulated Fashionistas, so I’m not particularly aware of Raquelle dolls in that line. I do have the 2021 Barbie Extra #15 which seems to have a Raquelle sculpt, she’s a stunning doll and one of my favorites 🥰. Shelly/Kelly/Chelsea Roberts (1995–2010 as Shelly/Kelly, 2011–present as Chelsea): Barbie's youngest sister, approximately 6 years old, then later 7 years old. Chelsea loves the color pink and has blonde hair and blue eyes like her older sister Barbie. Chelsea is the star of her own series, Barbie: Dreamtopia. Francie Fairchild (1966–1977): Marketed as "Barbie's Modern Cousin," Francie paved the way for Barbie's transition into the MOD era. Francie appeared to be only slightly younger than Barbie, and had a straight, streamlined figure. The Francie doll was the first to feature rooted eyelashes. In the March 1966 issue of Barbie Magazine, she is the daughter of Claude and Lily Fairchild. Blaine Gordon (2004): Barbie's Australian ex-boyfriend, whom she dated during her much-publicized "breakup" with Ken. Blaine is said to be the brother of Summer, one of Barbie's friends. Blaine does not show up in any of the Barbie series but was originally a character from Generation Girls and showed interest in Ana.

A collector series of dolls designed by veteran Mattel designer Robert Best. The series featured three new characters including Daria, Marisa, and Nichelle. The dolls were notable for featuring a new body sculpt known as Model Muse, which is a body designed to stay in one static pose as a display figurine. The series was discontinued after only 5 dolls, but the dolls live on as their face and body sculpts are used for other Barbie dolls ever since. The Model Muse body in particular has become the new standard body for collector dolls in the Barbie line. Tori would reappear in the American Idol line with Barbie and Simone in 2005, but with the Summer face sculpt.

I collect the late Fashion Fever and Early Fashionista Barbie dolls; a couple of sub members asked me for photos, so here we go on a Raquelle doll hunt 😅 the first photos are of the dolls in my collection; after that are photos of Raquelle dolls that I’ve amassed for reference. Kristine " Krissy" Roberts (1998–2001): This character is an infant and is only intermittently included in the Barbie sibling lineup. Daria (2004-2005) was the Caucasian doll in this collection. Two versions of her were released, including Daria Celebutante and Daria Shopping Queen. Tafoya, Alexandria (November 7, 2023).

Steven (boyfriend of Christie, 1988–present. Linked with Barbie's friend Nikki since 2007): This doll has been in the lineup intermittently over the years and has used several different face sculpts during that time. Buffy & Mrs. Beasley (1968) Based on Anissa Jones' character from the TV show Family Affair, the Tutti-sized doll carried a miniature Mrs. Beasley doll. Barbara Millicent "Barbie" Roberts (1959–present): A blonde-haired, blue-eyed doll who was born in the fictional town of Willows, Wisconsin. [2] [3] According to eponymous Random House books published in the 1960s, the character's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. Barbie's age has fluctuated; she was originally a 19-year-old, [4] but she is often shown as an older character in adult careers. The inaugural episode of Life in the Dreamhouse even jokes that she is over 43 years old. Barbie has three younger sisters: Skipper, Stacie and Chelsea. [5] Mattel describes Barbie as strong, confident and always willing to help her siblings. [6]Kira/Miko (Marina in Europe) (1985–2001): Barbie doll's first Asian friend character, the first appearance was in the line of Tropical Barbie in 1985 as Miko, a native Hawaiian. Kira, an Asian-American, was later introduced looking similar to Miko and with the same head sculpt. The character appeared in the product line continuously for many years, the original Kira/Oriental face sculpt was created in 1980. Daisy Costopolis (2018–Present): from Dreamhouse Adventures, a curvy friend of Barbie with pink hair. Muhammad, Latifah (November 17, 2023).

Twiggy (1967) Based on the top teen fashion model Lesley Hornby Lawson of the Mod era, the Twiggy doll was made using the same face sculpt as Francie doll's friend Casey. May Chung Ling (2008-2009): Barbie's Shanghai friend, released exclusively in the Barbie Shanghai boutique. According to her passport in her accessories, her favorite food is ice cream, and she enjoys singing and dancing. Only two versions would be released, before the boutique closed. Viky (1989): A Brazilian friend of Barbie, released exclusively in Brazil. She used the Steffie face sculpt. Casey (1967–70, 1975): Billed as Francie's Fun Friend, she is the same measurements as Francie, and is thus able to wear her wardrobe. She has blue eyes, and is found in blonde, brunette and redhead styles (the redhead possibly being a result of the brunette hair oxidizing, as happens with Christie dolls). Her original blonde hair is a true blonde, cut into a chin-length bob. Later editions feature a platinum blonde Casey with a coarser hair texture. Casey's hair is frequently asymmetrical, as was in vogue at the time. These dolls' hair is longer, sometimes near shoulder length. All editions come without shoes, with Casey in a one-piece swimsuit: the top is white with gold mesh; the bottoms are shiny gold (though frequently fade to a matte silver color). She comes with only one ear pierced, in which is placed one gold-tone dangle triangle earring, which turns Casey's ear green if left in for a number of years. Dolls found by collectors today frequently present with some or extensive 'green ear'. The sooner the earring was removed, the better the chance this situation is avoided entirely.Raquelle's name is an alternative spelling which is also the French spelling of the name Raquel. It is also pronounced the same way. Cottingham, Trina; Arend, Scott; Hemingway, Karla (2010). Skipper: Barbie Doll's Little Sister – Identification & Value Guide.

Originally released as an 8-year-old, she was changed to a 14-year-old later on. Mattel temporarily halted production of Skipper dolls between 2003 and 2009. When Skipper returned in 2009, she was redesigned to have brown hair with a purple (or sometimes blue) colored streak. In Life in the Dreamhouse and its follow-ups, Skipper is shown to love technology, music and gadgets. A short-lived Afrocentric doll line introduced in 1994, retroactively considered Barbie friend dolls. Although the dolls are unrelated to Shani's friend Asha, the dolls still used the Shani face mold and were meant to be a successor to the Shani line.
