I was doing some checking and found that in February 2009, United Media released a statement that Rainbow Brite would be giving 2 designs.
The first is the classic, nostalgic ‘80s look which already has traction from junior apparel licensees. The second look is a refreshed, contemporary design which shows younger girls a role model who is socially-aware, inspirational and innovative.
I hope this makes you feel better about the new designs.

EDIT: I also wanted to add this most resent release about the dolls:
Rainbow Brite's master toy licensee Playmates will be unveiling its much anticipated line of a contemporized fashion dolls and horses that will be available at select retailers nationwide in time for holiday 2009. Rainbow Brite plush, small dolls, large dolls, and play sets will follow at other select retailers in 2010.
