I played with barbies as a kid, we had a lot of them. Including Ken and my brothers GI Joe dolls. We smooched them, put them to bed together, put the baby barbies up the mommy barbies dresses to give birth and had marriage ceremonies. My brothers did NOT like that we would take their GI Joes and Bionic Man to marry Barbie. LOL
btw My children have absolutely NO barbie type dolls of any kind. LOL
