Army Barbies
Wanna buy an Army Barbie for your patriotic little American daughter to mutilate? Can do!
Salute Sergeant Barbie! Barbie wears authentic desert battle dress uniform of camouflage material, like those worn in Desert Strom campaign. You can tell by the insignia on her maroon beret that Sergeant Barbie is a medic, and ready for duty with two medical cases! A proud and patriotic American serving her county wherever she is needed.
Barbie even comes in two different colours!
White Barbie
Black Barbie
How much?
Well, white Barbie is $28.50. Black Barbie was $26.00 but is now $10.99!
... I am not sure what the discrepancy in price is all about - the site is selling boxed Barbies so you'd assume black Barbie has more wear and tear. The part that confuses me is that they have an unlimited number of white Barbies and only one black Barbie ... so surely black Barbie would be more of a collector's item?
I am sure that the company would argue that it's the economy of supply and demand... :|

I'd say it's exactly that - supply and demand.
Those berets are so not military.
I do want one though. I wonder if they are fully opposable ...?
What? That's a legitimate question.
