Earlier this summer, I turned over the metal suitcase filled with Topper Dawn Dolls to Bridgette. I bought them several years ago when Juliette was a little girl. The 1970s doll by Topper  Dawn made a brief comeback in 2000 when Checkerboard Toys created a 30th anniversary edition.

The reason I decided to post these pictures is Barbie’s having trouble in the stock market. She’s hit middle age and according to a report published by CNN, she doesn’t resonate with the digital age. Also, she’s been a bit frozen out by sales of Anna and Elsa dolls.
