In my experience of children in my shop, they'll just pick up the first non-Barbie Barbie doll on the shelf and be happy with it. They don't often pick through the line of dolls to find the one they want.
Yeah i think it was a mistake to price them differently cos as you say it is a PR nightmare.I think they may have just done it because one was selling worse than the other though.Basically just looking at the PLU on a computer and sales figures but not looking at the actual product itself.Maybe?
