Since the first doll in 1959, Barbies have looked pretty much the same. They always have white skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. Sure, her hair might be done up in a different way and her clothes might change, but Barbie’s size and shape has always been consistent. Until now. 

The newest models of Barbie take the concept into a new age. There are now four totally different looking dolls that represent the style and grace Barbie is known for. This is done so that girls of all kind can relate to their dolls, not just the ones with blonde hair and blue eyes.
