Since this week started with a celebration and memory of those who served the country of United States, Veteran's Day. I have decided to do a post about the Army Barbie dolls. A way to show appreciation for the country where I live and plan to raise my kids. As this is a Barbie blog we won't discuss politics or anything like it, but say thank you for those who embrace the nation and took their own country in their hearts, protecting and going to fight for a better future is the minimum I can do.
For me, they are celebrities and deserve to be celebrated!
The first army Barbie was released on 1989.

I also found a Mattel doll as Elvis Presley celebrating his army years.

Hope everyone have a great week!
Hello from Spain: I love this collection dedicated to the armed forces. It's a very American and patriotic collection. In my country is never on sale in stores. Elvis is much like the singer. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteHi Liz,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!:)I had never seen these army Barbies before,I agree with Marta that it's very American and patriotic!:):):)
As Marta said, this collection is not sold in Spain, and it's a pity, I love the first one! Thanks for sharing!
