Barbie doll and Chelsea doll are ready to ride wearing casual outfits and riding boots -- a cactus on Barbie doll's t-shirt is a perfect statementThe doors opened as she recounted the years she’d spent saving and spending, gradually amassing the exact assortment of dolls she’d acquired as a child. The rituals of BarbieCon and Mattel’s movie merch outpour share a common motivation: buying Barbies. But the kind of accumulation on display at the convention is more complex than the average gotta-catch-em-all mentality. Here, Barbie is both the center and a starting point; between sales and swaps, attendees studied at various workshops on everything from the intricacies of collectors’ insurance to “Making Doll Size Tropical Drinks”. And while conventioneers revere Mattel, they are clear-eyed about corporate priorities. During one such seminar, the collector and historian Bradley Justice Yarbrough was leading a panel on preserving Barbie collections, when an older man asked why certain Barbies’ faces paled dramatically over time.

Little horse lovers can spend a day at the Horse Stables with 3 Barbie® micro-dolls and 9 animals. Kids can play as they build the barn to care for animals. They can feed and groom the 2 horses, 2 bunnies, 2 birds, a pony, lamb and puppy with accessories like carrots, a brush, water bowl and more. Then, Barbie® and her horse can get ready to ride when kids build the stables. Kids can build the garden to plant flowers and give the animals a place to play and rest. Designed for beginners, this building set is easy to build and provides storytelling play with every step.

This portion of the event was hosted by the Barbie designer Carol Spencer. In a world of miniatures, Spencer, who oversaw the doll’s wardrobe from 1963 to 1998, is the closest the Barbie fandom gets to a giant. The 90-year-old, still agile and omnipresent at Barbie events, announced the event’s Oscar: the “Barbie’s Best Friend Award”. Makes a great gift for kids who love animals, especially horses -- simply set up the fence as home base and let imagination ride because when a girl plays with Barbie, she imagines everything she can become
