It’s called The Barbie POP Reveal Fruit Series Doll, and they’re under $20 for each fruit flavor. For kids 3+, it says online.
Strangely, (or maybe not so strangely) I could find a photo of Barbie with slime on her online! Not even in the Mattel Reveal Commercial.

Meet The Double Bubble Blaster
Whoa! We’ve done a lot of bubble machines on the Giz Wiz, but this tops the list! It has 2 Motors, 2 Fans and 18 Spinning Wands. The company says it can generate 10,000+ Bubbles a minute. I don’t know who counted them, but as you’ll see on this week’s show, this machine can pump out the bubbles! What’s really great is that the bubble solution jar connects directly inside the machine, so there’s a constant supply when you pull the trigger. Has a rechargeable battery and cable to recharge it. There’s also four bottles of bubble solution in the package. Kids will love this! Adults too! It’s brightly colored and has flashing LED lights to add even more fun to your bubbles! MSRP: $34.99.
