When the popular Jem doll came out in 1985, naturally Mattel had to make a competing Barbie doll. The result was Barbie and The Rockers.
That’s Barbie, Dana, Diva, Dee Dee, and Derek. Ken was also in the band, but he didn’t join the band until 1987, and this puzzle is from 1986.
I personally had Diva, and like all the dolls she came with a cassette tape which I still have. It includes such classics as “Dressin’ Up,” “Born With A Mike,” “Stretchin’ It,” and, of course, “The Rockers™ Theme.” Party on!

The images on this frame tray puzzle from 1982 kinda remind me of a spread from Details. (Or, OK, maybe Out.)
