Reveal: Three Barbie BMR1959 Dolls Video

In lieu of photographing and writing extensively about the three Barbie BMR1959 dolls that I chose to purchase, I decided to create a video of the unboxing.  The dolls arrived on Saturday, November 2, 2019.  The video states "yesterday" because it was created the day after the dolls arrived.   Prior to creating the video, I had already removed one of the dolls from the box attachments (as you will see in the unedited video). 





This Barbie Signature Collection was designed by Carlyle Nuera.  Not mentioned in the video is that all three dolls have painted fingernails.  In the order that they appear in the video (GHT91, GHT94, AND GHT96), their fingernails are painted green, off-white, and pink.

When my order was placed for this trio, all six dolls were in stock at Barbie.Mattel.com.  At the time of this writing, most had a preorder status at the Barbie Mattel site.

Barbie BMR1959 Collection

Snipped photos of the Barbie BMR1959 Collection (BMR stands for Barbie Millicent Roberts, which is Barbie's full name).

The Barbie BMR1959 collection of six dolls wearing '90s-inspired  "streetwear" is now in stock at Barbie.Mattel.com.  First announced several months ago with only silhouette images of the dolls, I had hoped that an African American male would be included in the collection.  Unfortunately, there is not!  Mattel, please do better.  Everyone needs to be represented and so often black male dolls are omitted, erased, eliminated from collector lines.

I did order three of the six and at checkout, there was a $27.94 promotional discount.  I did not have to enter a promo code.  I am not sure how long this promotion will last.  So if you're interested in adding these to your collection, order now.

Five of the six were available at Walmart.com.

The lovely girl in the floral dress and clear BMR1959 logo'd jacket is on Amazon at the time of this post; if you're a Prime member, shipping is free.
