Retro Barbie Games

The Barbie games that date back to the past are the most interesting Barbie games I’ve seen of late. I was recently walking down the toy aisle and saw some Barbie games that actually made me stop and pay attention. The Barbie games box in front of me was holding a Barbie with blonde hair and a peach ball gown. The dress had rhinestones and sparkles over a sweetheart neckline and a long flowing peach skirt.

I was totally amazed. The last time I’d seen that particular Barbie was about twenty years ago when I was playing with the original version. Actually, that Barbie was my sister’s. My older sister had the Barbie with the flowing peach gown, but we all used that gown when it was time to dress up our Barbies for a grand adventure or a special ball. We’d dress up Barbie and have Ken pick her up in the silver corvette. Even now I’m smiling thinking of that retro Barbie. It was hard for me to leave it on the shelf. If I see it again, I might just pick her up for old time’s sake.
 

Twilight Barbie Games

I saw the greatest Barbie games ever today. I was shopping for some toys (birthday parties, you know) and saw a large display of New Moon Barbie dolls. The dolls were pretty careful replicas of the characters from the movies Twilight and New Moon. Edward was even intensely pale, just like in the movies. If I’d had the extra cast at the time, I would have snapped up the three dolls and added them to a Barbie collection.

But without an extra $60, I had to go off and leave the new Barbie games in the store, but I was certainly impressed. Jacob, I think was the most impressive in the movie and in the Barbie box. He was wearing his simple blue jean shorts and even was sporting the correct tribal tattoo on his shoulder – just like in the movie. Jacob was bronzed, had shorn hair and a pretty impressive figure. His face even looked like a real Jacob – not a Ken doll redone. Edward and Bella were the same way but with far paler skin and builds that weren’t quite as impressive.

Playing Barbie Games Online

Online Barbie games are great. They are easily one of my favorite ways to spend a few minutes between homework projects letting my inner creativity come through for a few minutes. To play the Barbie games, you start with a doll base on a girl game website. The doll base is amazingly similar to the bare Barbie doll. The online games are played in a very similar way to the games you played with the dolls once upon a time.

Start by selected some basic outfits for your Barbie games. You’ll want to find something cute for her to wear, but don’t worry about trying on everything in one swoop. You get to play as many times as you like. Dress Barbie up in her adorable outfits and then send the picture to a friend, print it out as inspiration or just delete it and start again. The more Barbie games you play, the more creative you will become. Soon you’ll start seeing new ways to blend and mix outfits and that creativity will definitely come shining through.

Barbie Games as Gifts

There is nothing more exciting for a little girl than opening up a big Barbie box and finding the treasures inside. Barbie games are an exciting surprise for most little girls, but not all. The Barbie games should be given to girls who you are comfortable with. After all, it would be awkward to give Barbie games to a little girl whose mother hates the “non-feminist” mark of Barbie in her household. Of course, in those cases, the little girl is almost sure to love the doll since her friends already have them, but you run the risk of upsetting her parents.

To pick the right Barbie as a present, get in touch with a little girl’s parents. Ask them if there is anything in particular she needs to complete her Barbie collection. You might be the proud bearer of the Barbie horse she’s been wanting for months when you show up at the party. If you just know that the Barbies are the way to go, play it safe with a Barbie that’s not objectionable. Find the ones that have prestigious careers like doctors and pilots so that you can show that women, even plastic ones, can be anything they want.

Barbie Games Live On

I think Barbies will live on with Twinkies and roaches after civilization is destroyed. I mean how can Barbie be destroyed? She’s reigned as the queen of all fashion toys – arguably all toys – for half a decade and she’s not showing any signs of weakness moving into the next decade. Barbie is a tough cookie and she’s ready to take whatever the world can throw at her. Her improved plastic body and ready smile can certainly take her places and that just might be her saving grace.

How many time capsules can you even presume that Barbie is part of? She’s likely buried in the earth countless times as part of a child, class or community’s time capsule and someday when we’re gone and those few survivors are looking for tokens of the past, they will have a large supply of Twinkies, some roaches to share them with and of course more than a few Barbie dolls to play with. I will say this – after leaving one of my Barbies in a box in the attic for years in the hot summers, I’ll be willing to bet that the Barbie games that live on for decades will be missing their hair, but who needs hair in a few centuries?

Barbie Games and Glam

The Barbie games have definitely added a bit of glam to an otherwise basic fashion doll kingdom. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always adored Barbie games, but I like the new pink and black thing that the dolls are doing and I like the glamorous rooms of furniture and accessories you can now get for the Barbie dream houses. Barbies are big business of course, but they needed something new and different to pick them up again from the basic doll and outfit they were becoming.

The pink and black line of furniture and accessories is packaged one room at a time. I personally like the box of bathroom furniture. I mean really – how can Barbie get ready for a date with that stud, Ken, if she hasn’t had a proper soak in the tub and a chance to go potty before hand? I love the large soaking tub they include for Barbie and the other vintage styled accessories. Personally I love them primarily because I’d like to have them in my own home, but I digress. Any way you slice it, Barbie and her dream home are looking great now thanks to these new pink and black packages.

Barbie Games and Friendship

I’ve cemented many a friendship over Barbie games. The games are simple enough, with fashionable clothing options and lovely Barbie hairstyles to play with online. The games are easy enough to play that there’s almost no learning curve and you don’t even have to be with your friends to play the games together.

Here’s an example of how my friends and I would play the Barbie games. In our group of three or four friends that tend to enjoy Barbie games, one of us will send out a challenge to the others on a social networking site or through email or such. Then we’d get busy creating a doll to match the challenge. One week the challenge was to create a red design. The next week was to create a princess design. The week after that was to create the most outlandish design ever. When we’d finish our design, we’d send the completed Barbie games to each other to “judge” and laugh over. It’s a fun way to keep in touch without tons of heart-to-hearts.
