Beach Fun, the Cali Girl Sequel

     After the Cali Girl line ended, the very next beach line contained all of the dolls from that line. It was just called Beach Fun instead of Cali Girl. The line included Barbie (two versions), Summer (two versions), Christie, Lea, Steven, Blaine and the return of Ken! The return of Ken meant that this doll was the last Blaine doll to be released. 
     I'm not sure why Mattel released two versions of Barbie and Summer. It could be a later release, since Ken wasn't in the initial release, but the photos are showing the same dolls, even though others were released. I just don't know.

Beach Fun Ken

     And so ends the Cali Girl line. It was a fun line and I wish it had more, but as they say, all good things come to an end. Summer would live on in name as Barbie's friend for years to come, but Blaine was gone. Barbie and Ken got back together, so Blaine was no longer needed. Who knows though, maybe one day, he'll return! Until then, we wait and continue to collect those dolls we love.
