Becky is the Asian character in the set, dressed in a green satin mini skirt, green metallic top, and a cream and purple jacket with musical note embroidery. She comes with green earrings, a microphone and roller skates, and the bright-pink music note-printed box includes a cassette of Sensations songs. A Kmart price sticker — $10.94 — remains on the original box, which is the kind of specific retail provenance that places a doll in a very particular moment of the American toy market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sensations line also had an animated VHS special, Barbie and the Sensations: Rockin' Back to Earth, released in 1987, which gave the band a narrative universe before the dolls arrived at retail. The concept was a direct successor to Barbie and the Rockers, which had debuted in 1986, and brought in a new cast of named bandmates rather than anonymous backup figures. Becky's Asian doll design using the Miko face mould was one of Mattel's more considered casting decisions in the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Please note: Everything is perfect except her legs have blotches due to the vinyl\/plasticisers used.
