Amazon Product Description: “Includes: Barbie Doll approx. 11.5″ tall. Doll comes with a pink & yellow knit 2 Piece Bathing Suit, a blue denim Skirt w/fringe hem, a ‘knit’ Necklace & Bracelet, a pink Hair Brush, & comes with 2 Sheets of Cool Decorations (Temporary Tattoos) for YOU & Barbie!”
This doll comes with 2 sheets of washable temporary tattoos that work on both you and the doll. This series includes Barbie, Christie, Teresa, Kira, Ken and Steven.
There is a variant for Barbie in this series, which is in a slimmer box. The doll features straight hair rather than crimped, is wearing different clothing, and does not have the butterfly tattoo on her stomach. This variant also has a different SKU number (29403). It is unclear why there is a variant for this doll, since it was released in the same year, and contains the same piece count. If you have any information on this doll- please feel free to leave a comment!

Notes:
This doll was involved in some minor controversy because of the “tattoos” displayed on Barbie’s skin, and encouragement of the children to get their own via the washable temporary tattoos in the box. The doll was allegedly “banned” and “pulled from shelves” in all major retailers in the U.S., though this is debated.
