I suppose I’m a bit of a prude when it comes to Barbie. There was so much hype about this movie, that I wasn’t going to go see it.

This Do-a-Pick game thumbnail shows a 1970s Ken doll wearing "Shore Lines" doll clothes with flippers and a windbreaker that zips down the front. The text in the thumbnail says, "ken doll boyfriend bribe." There's a colorful yell, blue, and green rainbow or cloud behind a cell phone that has the Ken image on it. All of this is on a purple background.

Here we see the Chelly Wood doll (she's actually a Liv doll that has had a make-over so it looks like the real person, Chelly Wood) holding up McCall's vintage Barbie pattern #6420 which has images of Barbie wearing six different outfits. The pattern's container is very worn but the images are colorful and sharp. This pattern was marked with a copyright of 1962. The thumbnail is framed with a purple and turquoise blue quilted frame.
