Barbie Mini Bs were a collectible line of Peek-a-boo Petites in the style of Barbie. One of these releases was a special edition giftset of Time Capsule Barbies: miniature versions of Barbies from throughout the years. These are absolutely charming and they fill me with delight.

In chronological order I believe these are as follows: my apologies if I am mistaken about any of these, but if so, please correct me!

1959: Barbie (debut)

1962: Brunette Bubblecut Barbie

1967: Twist 'n Turn Barbie

1971: Malibu Barbie

1977: Superstar Barbie

1986: Barbie and the Rockers Barbie

I think these are really cute but I think it would have been fun to have a little CEO Barbie as well! Barbie is so well known now for her careers I think that would have been a cool inclusion.

Barbies of the BPCL: 1960s Bubblecut Doll

In 1961, Mattel released a Barbie doll with a bubblecut hairstyle that replaced her original ponytail. She is otherwise identical to her predecessors and uses the original 1958 face mold. It's unclear to us whether this doll was released in 1961 or 1962.
