Mattel went all out with the accessories for this doll, and the buzzword was clearly "quality." Barbie's miniature nylon warm up jacket is perfect in every detail. Her cap fits perfectly, and even stays on! Her faux leather glove is a licenced Wilson product, and her tiny baseball with molded laces is a Rawlings. And then there's the bat- the legendary Louisville Slugger, recreated in perfect 1:6 scale in all its wooden glory. The finishing touch is my favorite Mattel stand- the sturdy plastic waist grabber. This stand is a lot of fun with bend-and-move bodies, as it holds the doll firmly enough that they can hold any position imaginable. I've even posed dolls upside down in these stands, and they actually stay in position!
