Do you miss the biggest pop culture and fashion moments of the early 2000s? Well, Barbie is bringing you back to the trends of Y2K with one of their latest installments, My Scene Dolls. While children may not get the same enjoyment out of the popular looks of the 2000s, adults with memories of that time may enjoy a blast to the past collector's item. Created with adult collectors in mind, this collection features Barbie, Chelsea, and Madison to bring back joy and nostalgia to longtime Barbie fans.
Fans have shown their love for nostalgia. Films have proven that with movies like Time Cut or Totally Killer, embrace the past with time travel chaos. People have also brought back fashion statements that others may argue should have been left behind. Hollywood's insistence on revisiting the past on a constant basis by rebooting many television shows and movies is also proof of people's connection to the past.
These Barbie dolls are not just nostalgic collection. For adults, they can be a window into the past that allows them to recognize how far they have come since their childhood. It could also be a way for parents to bond with their young children, by showing them representation of the types of fashion they grew up with.
The My Scene Dolls and their portrayal of the early 2000s is an easy way to remember one's own childhood. This is a time to recall all the animated Barbie movies people had watched when they grew up or how excited they were for the next episode of Lizzie McGuire, Even Stevens, or That's So Raven. The fashion portrayed on the dolls thrives in recalling the trends of the early 2000s, butterfly clips and all. For many, the 2000s were an earlier and simpler time when all they had to worry about was making sure they enjoyed the latest rerun of Spongebob Squarepants. For others, it was a time of gathering together at the mall before video games grew to encourage friend groups to gather at each other's homes more often than at the local mall or outlet center.
Take a trip back to the part of the past that made you happy, and celebrate that time period, or how far you have come since then, with this latest iteration of Barbie dolls. Mattel is more than ready to help you experience the simplicity of childhood again. This is a collection that could encourage adults to love Barbie just as much as their kids might. The Y2K Barbie dolls are available for purchase on Mattel's website.
