Strawberry Shortcake - Playmates

 

Playmate's Strawberry Shortcake dolls feature taller proportions, more mature facial features, and contemporary fashions. These dolls departed from the smaller, childlike appearance of earlier versions. 

Produced during a period of significant changes in fashion doll design, the Playmates collection illustrates the evolution of established characters in response to changing consumer preferences. Today these dolls document an important transitional period in Strawberry Shortcake's history, demonstrating how a familiar character could be redesigned while preserving elements of her original identity.

Strawberry Shortcake -Bandai

 

In the early 2000's Bandai redesigned Strawberry Shortcake dolls updating the characters for a new generation with more contemporary clothing, updated hairstyles, and redesigned facial features. The updated designs introduced Strawberry Shortcake and her friends to a new audience while appealing to fans of the original.
