Black on the outside, white on the inside? I’ve been accused of that. By both black and white.

I had one of these dolls until my house burned. They are getting harder to find.

Yea like number 23 said. I mean come on it was made in both black and white version. So white people could be pissed off because they’re calling them Oreo’s too. Right? So when did it become bad to call anyone an Oreo?

I also have this doll. I am an African-American and I bought it because I thought it was cute. The “oreo” concept escaped me when I purchased it. I bought three dolls. One for my daughter, one for my niece and one for myself. I still have mine in the box. I will not part with her, unless there is someone out there who seriously would like to purchase it from me.

I just stumbled on this site, and I have one of these dolls – new in box, since 1997, when I bought it at the checkout counter at my local grocery store. How Mattel couldn’t have know the controversy they would create with a black version of this doll is beyond me! I knew it the second I saw it, and bought it to collect. That’s why it’s still in the box! If anyone seriously wants it, let me know. It truly is a collector’s item. Mattel recalled all units once they figured out their idiocy! Very few left in the world, especially still in the box, never opened. Serious inquiries only though…
