My understanding was that the Blaine doll was to be used as Barb's new boyfriend...could be wrong. I only have the orig. Blaine Generation doll. never did see the newer one that was to be out in the second Generation set or I'd have gotten him too as I believe there was neat stuff that came in his set. He came & went rather swiftly. But as I said before , I've always paired any different male that looked halfway appropriate with Barbie , Candi, et al . I liked Paul David's black version of his Dominic doll & with the moustache. I could kick myself for not buying more of him when Paul D put so much of his stuff on sale before he moved to Fla. Unfortunately I didn't see this great sale until too late.
I did notice that in this year's swimsuit collection , the Cali dolls, that Skipper was missing. they also only had the white version of Ken & no black male, as in the past few sets. Also, tho there's supposed to be a black girl doll in this set I haven't seen her as yet, all the rest , but not her. The pic. of all these dolls look good...I believe it's one of the nicest looking sets they ever put out. On Saturday, February 28, 2004, at 12:30 PM, J. & S. Hardin wrote:
I haven't seen the new Blaine. Do you have the GG Blaine, or the new one that is supposed to sweep Barbie off of her feet and snatch her away from Ken? Also, I have been hearing about Barb's new boyfriend. Have you noticed that she got rid of her Teen Sis?
