She comes with roller skates, a microphone, red earrings and a brush. The Kiddie World price sticker ($11.99) is still on the box, which puts this in the small regional American toy chain that operated in the northeastern US in the late eighties. The pink music-note box format is consistent across all four Sensations dolls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarbie and the Sensations: Rockin' Back to Earth aired on VHS in 1987, a year before the dolls reached retail — unusual for a toy line that typically launches merchandise alongside or before the media property. The animated special established Barbie, Belinda, Becky and Bopsy as a band that travels through time, which is a premise only a 1987 toy company would attempt. Belinda uses the Christie head mould, giving her a distinctive face sculpt from the rest of the Sensations 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.
