Barbie’s 125th and 126th career announcements made a big splash this month, when it was announced that Barbie’s latest careers included a news anchor and a computer engineer. But if you were wondering what Barbie’s first 124 careers were, here is the complete list.

Matchbox’s Stinky the Garbage Truck is a very lively character that boys and girls 3 and up will be crazy about.  He is part of Matchbox’s ‘hard working heroes line  just like his very successful brother, Rocky the Robot Truck. Stinky is a robo-vehicle with many advanced features, sensors, and touch points. He has incredible articulations that you wouldn’t believe. Just like a regular garbage truck he can drive around, and load and unload garbage, but unlike a regular garbage truck he’s got personality. He talks, tells …

This morning Mattel unveiled Barbie’s 125th and 126th career which was decided based on votes that poured in from her fans all over the world. Barbie’s recent online voting campaign has been very successful, and about half a million votes poured in from all over the world.

These aren’t quite the techiest dolls around, but they’re so unique that we must mention them. The Barbie Ladies of the 80s series includes the Debbie Harry Doll and the  Cyndi Lauper Doll. The Debbie Harry Doll comes with a mic and is the first doll in the 80’s collection. It’s scary to think that while we were playing Barbies, these singers were just starting their career- and now they are the Barbie Dolls! Both dolls retail for $34.99 each and are available soon.

Barbie is looking to her fans to decide what her next major career should be. There are five choices to vote for – an architect, surgeon, environmentalist, news anchor, and best of all – a computer engineer! It’s pretty obvious who we are going to be voting for.

The cover unlocks when you say the secret password and a Glow Light protects your entries from any prying eyes. It will …

When Dora’s Explorer Girls Dora Links Doll was announced it caused a lot of stir, because that meant Dora was getting older and many didn’t like that. But once her images were released, a lot of folks began to simmer down  when they realized that yes – Dora was older now and that the Dora Links doll is a sophisticated doll, that Dora herself would be proud of.
Unpacking
The packaging is adorable and has Dora sitting on a plastic white chair with a white cardboard keyboard. …

We have been a fan of My Meebas since last year, so we were especially excited to see a newer version now with glitter. These latest My Meebas with glitter come in Intelligence, Happiness, Luck, and Beauty. The concept is the same and basically you still have to play and nurture your My Meeba (Tamagotchi style) in order for it to survive. Do it right and you eventually lead to the canister popping open to reveal an adorable stuffed creature inside. Because we still get …

After 50 years in the spotlight, our favorite doll is finally going to get the red carpet treatment she deserves.
