Mattel Presents: Shanghai Dolls
Posted by dollsaga on June 20, 2008
I posted a “Shanghai doll” blog on May 25th, criticizing all the Shanghai Dolls these doll companies made, now, Mattel has its say:

The dolls remind me of Fashion Fever, especially “Barbie Loves Benetton”– the blonde looks like Moscow, the brunette looks like Berlin. they will be released in fall, 2008–International release, Limited to 2000. US collectors will have chances to buy them at Mattel’s online Barbie Collector Store
Again, the dolls say nothing about Shanghai, you can name them after any cities.
Paris Hilton made a trip to Shanghai in last November, some dresses she wore were pretty cute, they were all designed by Shanghai Fashion Designers. Mattel should hire local fashion designers to do the project of “shanghai dolls”
