In my opinion, these dolls top last year's [Jazz Baby dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aaliyah-barbie) by far. I'm loving the 60's-inspired retro fashion outfits, the funky hairstyles, vibrant heavy makeup and the killer eyelashes. Each doll features nostalgic face sculpting too: Barbie and Christie have the TNT face sculpt and Kelly has a Steffie face sculpt. These fabulously hip Barbie dolls will be available to add to your collection in March 2009. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro-inspired Barbie Dolls:** Opportunity for companies to tap into the nostalgia trend by creating retro-inspired toys with unique and vibrant designs. - **Collectible Doll Fashion:** Potential for disruptive innovation by designing collectible dolls with stylish and trend-setting fashion outfits. - **Nostalgic Toy Rebrands:** Opportunity to revitalize and rebrand classic toys from the past with a modern twist, attracting both new and nostalgic consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** Innovative toy manufacturers can capitalize on the demand for unique and stylish dolls by creating retro-inspired Barbie dolls with fashionable outfits. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Fashion and accessories brands can collaborate with toy manufacturers to create collectible doll fashion lines, expanding their brand reach to a new audience. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising agencies can assist toy companies in rebranding and promoting nostalgic toys, leveraging the power of nostalgia to attract consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pop Art Legend-Honoring Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1.md) - [Celebratory Monochromatic Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/65th-anniversary-barbie-signature-doll-collection.md) - [Glamorous Collector Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-by-american-girl.md) - [Glamorous Rockstar-Inspired Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-bowie-doll.md) - [Career Aspiration Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-besties.md) - [Fashion Dolls-Inspired Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-nite-out.md) - [Retro Film-Inspired Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bratz-x-clueless-doll.md) - [Inspiring Role Model Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-role-models.md) - [Filmic Fashion Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bratz-x-clueless.md)
