Since her appearance in Life in the Dreamhouse, Stacie is 11 years old and shown to be a competitive, skilled athlete. She has her own line of sports-themed dolls called "Team Stacie".
The only doll whose age is definitively known is Chelsea, who turns six during Happy Birthday Chelsea. Skipper appears to be between 14 and 16 years old, while Stacie falls somewhere in between her two sisters.
Stacie is the sporty sister of Barbie. She is always up for an adventure or mystery. She is closest with Skipper, and they often play things together like lightsaber wars or sock skating. She also shares a bedroom with Skipper.
Barbie, formally known as “Barbara Millicent Roberts,” was born in 1959, which would technically make her 65 years old — except for the small fact that she was born as a 19-year-old. Yep, that's right: The first ever Barbie was officially 19 years old, which would make her age closer to 84 years old.

Is Barbie 17 years old?
Main characters
Barbie's age has fluctuated; she was originally a 19-year-old, but she is often shown as an older character in adult careers. The inaugural episode of Life in the Dreamhouse even jokes that she is over 43 years old. Barbie has three younger sisters: Skipper, Stacie and Chelsea.
The Barbie Doll Was Originally Supposed To Be 19-Years Old
Meant to be a 19-year-old woman, the doll was named after 18-year-old Barbara, the daughter of American businesswoman and Barbie inventor Ruth Handler. Today, the doll itself is 64 years old; in 2023, Barbie would technically be 83 years old if she aged.
Full Name: Raquelle Nia Lee Kim Race/Nationality: Korean, American Age: 22 Hometown: Honolulu, Hawaii Raquelle and her twin brother, Ryan, are the freshest faces around.
Technically, Ken has no official age (he is a doll, after all) although he was first introduced as Barbie's boyfriend on March 11, 1961, which means he has been around for 62 years. (Barbie was created in 1959, which would make her 64.)
In Barbie Life in the dream-house she looks to be at least 10. In the Wee Three Friends line, Stacie was said to be 11 years old. In Dreamhouse Adventures she is 11. Stacie is a playful tomboy with no filter to her words.
“Pregnant Barbie” is actually Margaret Hadley Sherwood, or Midge, as her friends call her. Midge was created to be a less glam, more relatable Barbie, per Buzzfeed News. The doll was launched in 1963 as Barbie's bestie. She had freckles and red hair, and she wore less makeup than Barbie did.
In 1968, Mattel created Christie. Christie had the same body as Barbie so that their clothes were interchangeable. But her face was a new design intended to highlight the facial features of a Black woman. Many consider Christie to be the first “Black Barbie.” Christie was part of a series of talking dolls.
In conclusion, while Barbie 2023 is not overtly inappropriate for young children, the 12A rating indicates that the film incorporates some grown-up or sophisticated themes.
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., March 6th, 2024 – Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) announced today its kickoff to celebrate the 65th anniversary of Barbie and over six decades of breaking down boundaries and inspiring girls through storytelling, encouraging them to be confident, daring, brave and legendary.
Ryan is the twin brother of Raquelle, one of the main characters and the secondary antagonist in Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse. He lives in The Ryan Mansion. He is constantly trying to woo Ken with one of his songs, much to the anger of Ken. He has a crush on Barbie and is Midge's crush.
As first boyfriends go, you could do worse than Ken Carson. Introduced in 1961 by Mattel, the Ken doll was the epitome of the all-American boy next door. Clean cut, athletic and with a sharp haircut, he was the perfect counterpart to his more famous girlfriend, Barbie.
Barbie wasn't honest with Ken about not being attracted to him and Ken was obsessed with making her like him, becoming dependent and later manipulative. While all this was key to their personal journeys, being paired with the wrong Barbie and Ken was very unhealthy for both.
Ken (short for Kenneth Carson) hit the toy aisle as Barbie's buyable boyfriend two years after her 1959 debut. He was available in two styles — blond or brunette hair, made of hard plastic — and came dressed in very short red swim trunks. He cost $3.50 and shared a name with the son of Barbie's creator, Ruth Handler.
Over the years, Barbie's family tree expanded and soon Barbie would have many diverse and multicultural friends. Among these was Teresa, who was depicted as being Latina. She appeared in 1988 in the California Dream line alongside Barbie, Ken, Christie and Midge (who made her comeback in this line as well).
Chelsea is Barbie's 7 year old little sister. Chelsea is a small child sized doll with blue eyes and blonde hair, like her sister Barbie. In animation, she usually has pigtails.
Just as Rachel has been a popular name in the US for decades, Raquel and Raquelle are much-loved in Spanish-speaking countries, particularly Spain and Portugal.
Since she first appeared at the New York Toy Fair on March 9, 1959, Barbie has been an astronaut, a presidential candidate, a rapper, and a video game developer, among other things. Barbie, that iconic staple of toy stores and childhoods, turns 60 this weekend.
Barbie was childfree. She was invented to be that way. Her creator, Ruth Handler, way back in 1959, was disheartened to find that the only dolls her own daughter could play with were baby dolls.
