GOOD NEWS – these dolls are jointed! fantastic for posing! weeeee!
BAD NEWS – no Hispanic or Asian characters… FOUR blondes… ONLY ONE Afro-looking doll… a brunette with blonde bits…let’s read again – FOUR blondes… but NOT ONE Hispanic or Asian character? *stumped*
These facts were realised upon seeing the below image, since this series has yet to be released nor can detailed information be found… I do hope that my assumptions are totally wrong and we do get to see more Hispanic and Asian looking representations on the shop shelves in the future…

EDIT 14-08-09 – these dolls are now listed on barbie.com here… calling out for all those body snatchers 
artsy, sassy, wild, girly, cute & glam
… of course I post the above image and find a much better one immediately after… (the doll labelled “cute” on barbie.com seems to really be “cutie” according to the flyer)
