In the nineties and the early part of the first millennial decade, Barbie had a toddler sister named Kelly.
Kelly/Chelsea Roberts (1995–2010 as Kelly, 2011–present as Chelsea): Barbie's youngest sister, approximately 6 years old, then later 7 years old. Chelsea loves the color pink and has blonde hair and blue eyes like her older sister Barbie. Chelsea is the star of her own series, Barbie: Dreamtopia.
Chelsea Roberts is Barbie's youngest sister. She was originally named Kelly, but she was known as Shelly in Europe. She was renamed Chelsea in 2010 so that she could be known worldwide by one name.
Mattel's Barbie dolls project toxic stereotypes that have shaped American girls' ideas of body image since the 1960s.
This dollhouse wasn't the typical pink, plastic dream house made by Mattel, but a more traditional looking house that was "Barbie-sized." Among the rooms was a nursery for a Barbie baby, which posed a problem: Barbie is technically not married and, technically, she can never have a baby.
The original Midge, waistline skinny as can be, was first introduced in the early 1960s. In 2002 she was pregnant, the subject of controversy, and was pulled from store shelves after parents complained the doll, packaged alone without family members, sent the wrong message.
She comes from a large family.
Barbie has seven siblings. Skipper was introduced in 1964, twins Todd and Tutti were around from 1965 to 1971, Stacie hit shelves in 1990, Kelly was sold from 1994 to 2010 and Chelsea was introduced in 2011 as a replacement for Kelly.
Barbie and Ken felt it was “time to spend some quality time apart” with Arons hinting that Ken's reluctance to put a ring on it may have played a part in their breakup. Still, the two swore the breakup was amicable and they would remain friends.
The Chelsea doll is Barbie's younger sister and was launched in 2011. At age seven, she's meant to be the youngest sister of the Barbie family and was designed specifically for younger children. The Chelsea doll line also includes a doll in a wheelchair.
Bild-Lilli was risqué—and just what Barbie inventor Ruth Handler was looking for. When Barbie dolls were first introduced in 1959, little girls snatched them up in droves.
Tutti. Tutti is Todd's twin sister. Together with Todd, she appeared in 1965 and got discontinued in 1971. After being ceased, some people confused her for Stacie – probably because Tutti was replaced by Kelly, who in turn got replaced by Stacie.
Skipper Madison Roberts was the original little sister of Barbie, and has been quite popular over the years. When she first came out, she was an alternative for parents who did not approve of Barbie's adult figure.
Kelly was introduced in 1995 and retired in 2010. She was replaced by Chelsea in 2011. According to Chelsea's official Mattel introduction, Kelly and Chelsea are the same character, only with a new name. Kelly's body style changed around late 2008 to have less short and stubby arms and look older.
One of her siblings eventually went missing.
Tutti and Todd are twins—or they were, until Tutti mysteriously disappeared in 1971. Stacie, who was introduced in 1992, is also Todd's twin, to add to the whole twin mystery.
Kenneth Sean "Ken" Carson is a fashion doll introduced by American toy company Mattel in 1961 as the counterpart of Barbie, who was introduced two years earlier.

Scott (1979) Skipper's boyfriend. Kevin (1990–1995) Skipper's cool teen boyfriend.
Skipper is a natural brunette. Before Skipper was officially given brown hair in 2010, she had varying hair colors including blonde, but since then, she has only had brown hair.
Ken Carson is a character who was introduced in 1961 as Barbie's boyfriend. He was created by Ruth Handler, and he probably named Ken after her son Kenneth Handler.
Upon release, Blaine dolls were widely popular and the Australian remained the main man in Barbie's life for two years, before Ken slowly returned to shelves (and popularity — well, as popular as a Ken can be) in the years following 2006.
Originally released in 1959, Barbie is two years older than Ken who was launched in 1961 in the markets. In the Barbie movie, however, people have a problem with Hollywood's old ways, as the actor Ryan Gosling is 10 years older than Margot Robbie.
Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. Barbie was named after Ruth Handler's daughter, Barbara, and Ken after her son, Kenneth. She is from (fictional) Willows, Wisconsin, where she attended high school.
In 1963, Mattel released its third doll in the Barbie line: Barbie's best friend, Midge.
Raquelle is usually the villain or antagonist in the show. Raquelle founded The Raquelle Boutique in an attempt to overshadow Barbie's own store.
