Hi Stacey,
Your African-American Barbies are absolutely one of the best ideas in toys I have seen in many, many years!! I grew up with Star Wars and G.I. Joe toys and always enjoyed the fact that the figures represented the interaction of various ethnicities and cultures (as a Caucasian male in rural Pennsylvania, such toys provided me with my first insights as to the true diverseness of society). Even at a young age, I noted that equivalent social variance among toys had not been provided for my female family members and friends. It is refreshing to see someone willing to represent the interests of all children.
Bravo and Job Well Done!!
Chris
