Barbie Basics Denim Series

 Bought these for my daughter way back in 2010-2012 when they first came out. $10 each then. Much pricier now.

The Return of Barbie Black Basics

Mattel is celebrating the 15 year anniversary of their Black Basic line. I remember buying these for my daughter.

Another set I purchased for my daughter and socked away. Will be fun to hand them over someday when she's interested. So far, she doesn't seem to have the collector gene like me.

So this was an interesting story. When my daughter was still into Barbies, I saw the Black Basics at Target. They were $10 each so I purchased them and put them away. Ten years later, most run between $75 and $125. Nice investment. 

Toy Fair 2010: Mattel

No photographs allowed. Bummed cause wanted to bring back some photos of Barbie and Disney Princesses for my little girl. However, there was a display of the Barbie Black Basics line. I've seen this at Target. It's sold out. Grab them if you can.
