If 'Cribs' filmed an episode dedicated to Barbie, this house would be front and center. The dollhouse is 3 feet tall by 4 feet wide, with a working elevator and a purple waterslide. If your offspring is into Barbie, just get him or her this dollhouse already. It's majestic and massive and unapologetically so.
