There's been some buzz about the return of Kenya doll to the market. According to Huffington Post, she was a popular African-American doll in the 1990s and the pictures I've seen of the original and baby dolls are quite cute.
The complaint I have is in the fashion doll cast.
The Fashion Kenya was listed for $20 and Mini Kenya listed for $5 in the Family Dollar ad this week.
I was really surprised at the unappealing look of the fashion doll as compared to the quality and appearance of Barbie. Even the African-American Barbie or the Christie friend of Barbie dolls look better than Kenya.
Furthermore, Barbie's So in Style line is far superior in styling and appearance, and sells for a lower cost, than the Fashion Kenyas.
