1993 Happy Meal Todd, Stacie, and Whitney

Okay since you made the post about the Kelly name change I NEED to know what your thoughts on Jordy's Computer's theory on Kelly??? The one where Chelsea was jealous of envious of Kelly and killed her and took her place? I love that one. (It's in their video about the history of Kelly dolls.)

I don't know Jordy's Computer but given the official word on Chelsea is that she innocently chose to change her name, I don't think there's anything sinister about the disappearance of Kelly.

I'm more worried about other members of the Roberts family. Where did Tutti go? What happened to baby Krissy? For the love of God, where is Todd??

Barbie has Eldest Daughter Syndrome.

[bubblybumblebee1]

Alright

Barbie lore time lol

So I've done the math of Barbie's many siblings (cause I'm bored)

And if some of these characters aren't the same person (Tutti, Kelly number 1 and Anastasia, aka Stacie)

And assuming that Kelly number 2 and Chelsea aren't the same person despite what Mattel says since their ages don't match up

Barbie would canonically be the eldest child of 9 kids

Including a possible set of quadruplets (Tutti, Todd, Kelly number 1, and Stacie since they're all supposed to be the same age)

I was looking through the wiki for Barbie and her family, and it starts with Barbie obviously, then Skipper, Tutti, Todd, Kelly number 1, Stacie, Kelly number 2, Chelsea and Krissy

But the younger siblings' ages also don't match up either of how old they're supposed to be vs. debut orders, as well as where they stand in the family tree

Tutti came after Skipper making her 3rd oldest, then her twin brother Todd but

Kelly number 1 came after Tutti and then came Stacie, who has also been called Todd's twin

Are Stacie and Tutti the same person and just look different as they got older? Is Tutti a nickname and Anastasia aka Stacie her real name? And what about Kelly number 1? Who came after Tutti but before Stacie?

Or did something happen to Tutti and Kelly number 1? Did Tutti get sent away to live else where since she looks like trouble? Was she the trouble maker of the family?

Again: What happened to Kelly 1?

Also, where does Todd stand? Is Todd in the middle if they actually are quadruplets and what number order of middle since he's listed as both Tutti and Stacie's twin brother? Or is it Tutti, Kelly 1, Stacie, then Todd?

Then there's Kelly number 2, the apparent 7th oldest, yet her age range is listed as 3 and in preschool while Chelsea is listed as 6 and in elementary school

Is Chelsea actually the 7th born child and Kelly 2 8th?

And if all these other siblings really are different from each other and not the same people going by different names or nicknames, where are they? Why do people only know of some of Barbie's siblings but not the rest

Do all of Barbie's best friends and Ken know about these siblings? Many have known Barbie for years but only ever see and hear about Skipper, Stacie, and Chelsea

Then again, these are also best friends who have never even heard of her siblings and vice-versa

Or is it because these 3 accompany Barbie the most throughout her adventures since apparently these 3 live with her and not their parents

When the heck did Barbie leave home? Why is she allowed to have custody of some of her siblings? Because of her many career moves? Also, isn't Barbie 19 since that's when she apparently stopped aging? Skipper is between 14 and 16 now, and I know Stacie is between the ages of 10 and 13 with about a 4 year age gap between her and Chelsea, who's 6

So modern age time wise: Barbie: 19, Skipper: 14 - 16, Tutti, Kelly 1, Todd and Stacie: 10 - 13, Chelsea: 6, Kelly 2: 3 and Krissy: 1

Meaning Barbie's parents were having kids about every 3 years

Many questions about the Robert's family

Maybe I'll do the extended family since they have some cousins and I wonder where they fit age wise

As April 10 is International Siblings Day, I wanted to put together a brief masterpost with previous times I have talked about the Barbie siblings.

The Roberts siblings, in full.

Skipper Roberts, the first and oldest younger sister.

Stacie Roberts, the middle sister.

Tutti Roberts, the discontinued little sister.

Kelly Roberts, now Chelsea Roberts.

Krissy Roberts, the shortlived baby of the family.

I notice now that although I talk about him in the Roberts siblings post, and of course he rates a mention in both the Tutti and Stacie posts, I have never made a post about the forgotten, discontinued, only male sibling of the Roberts family... Todd.

What happened to Todd, Barbie? Why did you forsake your younger brother like this? Did you send him to go live with Ken? Do you not talk about him? Did some tragedy befall him? Was it the same tragedy that would later take baby Krissy?

The people need answers, Mattel.

Anyway, happy International Sibling Day to all those who have siblings, and try not to think too hard about the changing children of the Roberts family.

I have mentioned Stacie a few times in passing, including on the breakdown of the Roberts family post I made, but I thought I'd do a bit more of a deep dive on her as a character.

Unlike Skipper, who debuted only a few short years after Barbie and is a famous enough part of the line that she got multiple mentions and depictions in the Barbie movie, and Kelly/Chelsea, who has a following as the young child character in the line, Stacie feels like an overlooked character.

Note: not to be confused with Barbie's friend Stacey, who was in production from 1968 - 1971.

Stacie's official debut was in 1992, as the new "littlest sister" of Barbie. She was replacing Tutti, who had been discontinued and whose last appearance was in 1971.

Stacie was marketed largely as being a more tomboyish, sporty member of the Roberts family compared to the more traditionally feminine characters like Skipper and Barbie. Stacie canonically wants to be a professional athlete -typically a soccer player, though she has been depicted playing a wide range of sports or engaging in athletic activities.

When Stacie took Tutti's place in the doll line, she also took Tutti's twin brother, Todd.

And as a part of the "Wee 3 Friends" collection, Stacie branched out into her friendship group, with two besties named Lila and Janet.

(Why are these 10 year olds worried about tan lines? That doesn't feel quite age appropriate.)
