The Rare Knocked Up Midge Doll

Posted by Colleen Kane

 

In all of Barbie's 50 years, why hasn't there ever been a pregnant Barb? There has, but it was Midge. (Barbie can get married, since there's bride Barbie and Sparkle Groom Ken, but then you must reset the play to dating mode.) And the pregnant Midge doll was controversial and pulled from the shelves. You know, because seeing a pregnant doll might encourage teen pregnancy.

(?)

Here's the zany toy-collecting guy Mike Mozart demonstrating how pregnant Midge gave birth. 

 

Dude makes some perfectly valid points, but too bad he insists on using those infuriating zowie-boing sound effects and rim-shots every two seconds. And here he is showing off another controversial Barbie, one with a "tattoo stamper," an unfortunate phrase which he points out brings to mind the famous tramp stamp.
