Official Response on the AKA Barbie

I've received a few questions about the AKA Barbie: where she can be purchased, when she'll be available and how much she costs. I've only been able to share what I've learned through Sorority communiqués and information shared on the Barbie Bulletin Board.

One of my sisters actually got an official response from Barbie Collector and here it is:

I got tired of all the speculations; so I contacted them
myself.
