The Roberts Siblings
Over the years the family has undergone some changes so just to recap quickly!
First and foremost we have Barbie. As we all know, Barbie debuted in 1959. Barbie was introduced as a "teen fashion model" but in subsequent years has run for President so we have to assume she is at least 35.
Skipper is Barbie's oldest younger sister. Skipper was released in 1963 - 1964 as an elementary school student, though over subsequent releases she aged into a teenager. (see also my post about the Growing Up Skipper.)
Next up was the Bendable! Poseable! Terrifying! Tutti. This sinister little sister debuted in 1965 but was discontinued in 1971.
Then comes Stacie. Stacie was comparable in age to Skipper was at debut, though she didn't debut until 1992.
Kelly, who later changed her name to Chelsea, was next along. She was introduced officially in 1995, though had one random appearance in 1991. She changed her name in 2010. Depending on release she was anything from a toddler to about six or seven years old.
Krissy was the short-lived baby of the family - she was only in production for four years, from 1999 to 2003.
But here's the thing about the Roberts family.
What is the story with Todd?
Todd was Tutti's twin brother on release.
However after Tutti was discontinued for the crime of looking like the most haunted Barbie I've ever seen, Todd hung around.
But now he was paired with Kelly?
This is the mysterious Kelly debut in 1991, before she was officially released as a younger doll a few years later.
But what's this?
Todd and Stacie share a birthday now?
I demand answers, Mattel.

Tutti i corpi che ho toccato, che ho visto,
che ho preso, che ho sognato, tutti
sono addensati nel tuo corpo.
O, tu carnale (...)
Sei l’oblio assoluto;
sei il ricordo assoluto.
Sei la non incrinata fragilità.
