I love them all! I'm glad I have 3 girls so I can play "Barbies" with them!

Awwww! I miss being a kid. I didn't have the muslim barbie, but my favorite was a olive skinned, black haired friend of Barbie.

I love these barbies. I love Moroccan, Egyptian and Indian barbie the most of course. :~D And its great to finally see some diversity within this doll chain.

Yay for doll diversity.. but what the world is wrong with the head-sized nose ring on Indian Barbie? On behalf of my Scotts-Irish side the I'm offended. "Dear Doll makers: What were you thinking? Catholic school, princess, ballerina Irish barbie?"
Haha... Never personally was a Barbie/doll fan. Amusing to see the varied photos you found!

The South African barbie is too Golliewogish, reminds me of the costumes that Tintin were when he was in disguise.
