Potato Head, and Slinky drive by this aisle, looking for Woody, when the Barbies catch their attention. Her outfit consists of a blue sleeveless jumpsuit with multi colored leg warmers and pink high heels.Ī bunch of Barbie dolls was first seen in Toy Story 2 partying in an aisle at Al's Toy Barn. Mostly, her hair is tied back in a high ponytail with a pink scrunchie with a ribbon. She also has long blonde hair that reaches her back and fringed bangs. She immediately develops a romantic crush on Ken upon first meeting him at Sunnyside Daycare, and eventually becomes his girlfriend.īarbie is a slender doll with fair skin, blue eyes, round button upturned nose, rounded face and pink lips. The Barbie in Toy Story 3 is a ditsy dame who, like Ken, strongly believes in fashion. Furthermore, they have a consistently positive, persuasive, and optimistic (to the point of 'ditzy') outlook on life. They are also overly happy and energetic and are almost always seen smiling. However, all the Barbies seem to love fashion, make-up and partying. Some degree of a Barbie's personality is clarified by the outfit that they wear (as with Tour Guide Barbie) and the method in which they are played with by their owners. Her personality was intended to be modeled after Sarah Connor from the Terminator franchise, even saying, 'Come with me if you want to live,' when she rescued Woody and Buzz from Sid's mansion, with Woody remarking in reply that he 'wished Woody was anatomically correct.' After Toy Story was a success, Mattel decided to put that policy aside and allowed her to appear in Toy Story 2, and also with her boyfriend Ken in Toy Story 3. It was common knowledge that Disney had been unhappy with the original scripts of Toy Story for some time and Mattel was concerned about the effect it would have on sales. Also, they didn't want to partake in a film with a troubled production. However, Mattel would not allow the use of Barbie because they didn't want her to be given her personality (it was important to them that the girls who buy the toys would imagine what Barbie is like themselves, thus making the toy unique to each girl). Barbie was meant to appear in the original Toy Story as Woody's girlfriend, in place of Bo Peep.
