Barbie and the Rockers

Barbie and the Rockers (or Barbie and the Rock Stars in Europe) was a doll line made in the mid-1980s by Mattel to compete with Hasbro's popular Jem doll line. They were on the market for roughly 3 years and there was a direct-to-video film made to go with the line titled Barbie and the Rockers: Out of This World. This was followed by a sequel called Barbie and the Sensations: Rockin' Back to Earth. The line was brought back in late 2017 as a Target exclusive. The characters include Diva (a Scottish-Irish-American redhead), Dana (a Korean-American) and Dee-Dee (an African-American). rdf:langString
