You’re right. Mine says that too. But in my cart if they get some in stock, I’ll get notified. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Bit boobies. That was clever of your brother. 😆 My brother destroyed all of my dolls over a period of years. I believe there was some eye gauging after watching the movie _The Birds_. So we got creative and played funeral with them. We even reenacted the after service luncheon. ---

Omg. I buried my sisters dolls one time. Wasn’t no stinkin’ funeral. I dug a ditch, stuck their feets in the ground(those pointy toes made it easy) and used a Louisville slugger. ---

I’ve got a Leprosy Barbie (head). Found it out in the desert and put it on the top of the Jeep antenna. After a few years in the desert sun, she looks like she’s contracted the disease. She’s pretty rough. Found some other Barbie’s left arm. Not sure where to put that. ---

Kinda reminds of those prank “tiny hands”. Makes me happy to think of a Barbie arm waving at me. Put the arm on the door lock nubbin as you’re driving around. 👋 (Ummm…you might have do a littke surgery on the arm by cutting the socket ball off, yuck!) ---

Does the diabetic Barbie come with insulin syringes? I would be cool if they had replaceable real needles. I guess the CPSC might have some objection to that. Oh wait, I forgot what year it is. Never mind, it will be fine. ---
