Silkstone Barbie Dolls History
The Silkstone dolls were first introduced in year 2000 with the release of the first in series The Lingerie Barbie®, Lunch at the Club™ Fashion, and the Delphine™ Barbie®. What sets these dolls apart from the standard line of Barbies is the fine detailing and unique material used to make the dolls. The dolls are made from a hard vinyl that gives the look of a very expensive porcelain finish.
Most of the Silkstone Dolls come packaged in a high quality two piece box, this allows for easy removal from the box without having to tear it up.
There is one Silkstone Ken doll in the series, Fashion Insider Ken doll was released in year 2003.
Each year Mattel also releases a couple of Fashion Accessories Packs specifically for the Silkstone body. The body of this doll is different from the standard Barbie body. It has been designed to stand in a "models" pose and includes joints at the neck, hips, shoulders, and wait but has no joints at the knees. Also the right arm and left knee are permanently bend into a models pose.
