It looks like Rainbow Brite is not the only toy getting a makeover. Strawberry Shortcake has a new look, too.
Today’s New York Times reports (here) that the new Strawberry Shortcake will be introduced by Hasbro at this year’s Comic-Con (huh?). Writer Brooks Barnes sums it up with, "[G]oodbye, poofy grandma bonnet; hello, yarn hipster hat."
I do like the fact that she gets phalanges instead of mitten-hands, but the Raggedy Ann look worked just fine, IMHO. Pink hair, not red hair. Ho-hum.
