Barbie Family House #21646 (1998) Review

Another little marvel of plastic engineering and design, the Barbie Family House is a fun and much improved update of the products of the same name in 1968 and 1978(?). This new house is made to last, if carefully played with, and unlike its earlier vinyl counterparts, could be stored and still look like new years from now. In keeping with the history of this product, the size is modest offering limited defined play area within the house, but, presents a space saving alternative to the "full-sized" Barbie houses and is quickly and easily folded up and moved. It's a little shy on colored decorating decals, and the kitchen/dining table is really too small to seat two dolls at with plates and utensils. It's perfect if Barbie is a single mother with a little Kelly or Tommy to raise in the house as she/he gets their own swing around high chair built onto the table (removable.) Also, uniquely, this house's litte built-in kitchen comes with a refrigerator, something neither the Folding Pretty House of 1997 nor the Fold N' Fun House of the late 80's could say. Unfortunately, as always, the scale is too small to accommodate the slightly larger Ken dolls comfortably, and, while the house has some neat features, the built-in computer is useless as there is no way to get Barbie's legs out of the way so she can actually get to, sit in front of and use the keyboard. Some folks might be relieved at the house's unusual (for Barbie) blue and cream colors. I think Mattel should have brought it out two available colors, the other being Barbie pink and cream. There's a lot to be said for consistency, especially to collectors who might find themselves uncomfortable with the blue house displayed among all the normal pink houses, accessories and dresses. We like it, accepting it for the product it is and appreciating its quality of design and manufacture. It does exactly what this model of Barbie house has always done; present an affordable and smaller alternative to the larger houses with plenty of eye-appeal to sweeten the deal.
