I think all of it is for aesthetic reasons. They want Barbie to look good in the box & not move at all when shipped. For collectors, I guess they assume they are not going to removed them from the box anyway. (Ha! what fun is that?!) For children, I haven't the faintest idea... Melissa
Oh how funny, LOL. I had completely forgotten about those plastic tags. Why do they have to put those on there?? To keep the head on??
I agree; those plastic tags are the worse. If you succeed in not cutting
off
her hair in the process, then there is that pointed thing sticking out
of
her head. How do children get them out to play with them? Melissa
And what's even worse is when they also attach those to plastic thingy to her head that you have to snip off and try not to cut any of her off at the same time.
