Another couple of dolls that have made their way into my collection!
Barbie has a long list of careers and the military is no exception!
Presenting Army Barbie and Ken!
This is the Deluxe Set because I think that these dolls were also sold separately. And the box is friendly for boxed but deboxed photos!
These dolls are super cute with their little berets. Barbie's has the medical symbol so obviously she is a medic.
The same symbol is on her bag.
She is wearing BDU's
And also comes with boots and a brush. (I think the helmet is for Ken. Or maybe not!)
Ken is basically wearing the same BDU's and beret except his has a different emblem.
The emblem is the same as on the front of the box. It reads "Rendezvous with Destiny."
Ken has his name on the uniform just like Barbie (it is not visible unless you open the jacket.)
He has a cool pair of binoculars.
Same pants as Barbie! He also comes with a pair of brown boots.
There are also cardboard punch-outs of dog tags for both Ken and Barbie and you can also make some for you!
Here is the back of the box that tells a little bit about Rendezvous with Destiny. It reads: "They're in the Army now! Salute Sergeants Barbie and Ken! They're enlisted personnel in the 101st Airborne division, famed for its skill and daring in air assault. Both wear authentic desert battle dress uniforms of camouflage material, like those worn in the Desert Storm campaign. You can tell by the insignia on her maroon beret that Sergeant Barbie is a medic, and she's ready for duty with two field medical cases! Staff Sergeant Ken is ready, too, with a helmet, binoculars and a field case. His beret bears the distinctive 101st Airborne unit insignia with the motto: Rendezvous with Destiny. Both are proud, patriotic Americans serving their country wherever they are needed."
Okay, I learned a couple of things. Barbie does have two packs, the helmet really IS for Ken and Ken does have a pack too. And the material is the same as real BDU's for our troops. Neat!
This is my second military Barbie in my collection. And my first Ken! My other one is Navy Barbie.
And....I also have a G.I. Joe. I should dig him out for photos. :)
So friends, do you have any military dolls at your house? Have either of these dolls? Let me know in the comments!
More coming soon!

I've got a Navajo Code Talker GI Joe - he used to talk in both English and Navajo but his talk box died. A few of my guys are the World Peacekeepers - which are excellent and affordable, by the way. So many of mine are second-hand, it's possible that I have others...
Hi Jeanie! That is so awesome! I wonder if there is a way to repair the talk box. I don't think my G.I. Joe is a talking one. I'll have to check out those World Peacekeepers!
Even if it was fixable, he's bathed with a few minions since, so probably not now! LOL If you follow my blog, Brent and Marcus are World Peacekeepers. I'm pretty sure Dean is, too, but he was second-hand, so not sure about him.
