Skipper 50th Anniversary Doll

I haven't been on Barbie Collector.com for a long time and today when I was browsing around the website, I'm sure it's nothing new...This doll caught my eyes. I think it was a very good idea from Mattel, since Skipper's lovers can add this piece of cutie to their collection.

 The doll is a re-creation of the fashion outfit above. According to fashion doll guide this set is very rare to find, specially the whole set.

I like the "old dolls", some of you may know my preference for the 80's looks ones, but for me the "modern vintage look" on the new one was the best, i really like it!

She's a gold label, a 2014 vintage reproduction and it's sold out on barbiecollector.com - actual price was $39.95, but you can get on eBay, if you are lucky, for no less than $100 plus shipping and handling.

Ps: Pictures are from Barbie Collector.com

 

I also found a picture, on eBay, where you can check the doll in the box

Really nice!!

Good Thursday Folks!

Coming Soon - Tribal Beauty Barbie Doll - Direct Exclusive

Seems like this year of 2013, we'll have nothing but Glamour. To open the Global Glamour Collection, this doll is the first of more to come - Can't wait to see the other ones, didn't you see so many (very nice) details and colors?

The first doll in the Global Glamour Collection shows her exotic side wearing an intricate ensemble featuring a feathered midriff top, golden breastplate adornment, waist-attached bead fringe, earrings, bangles, long split skirt and elaborate headpiece. Her zebra scepter pays tribute to the royal splendor of Africa and her status as a reigning queen of fashion. ^{- http://www.barbiecollector.com/shop/doll/tribal-beauty-barbie-doll-x8262}

Linda Kyaw did such a great job on this gold label beauty. I have friends from Africa and the little I know about this culture I can see a lot of it on this doll, she's is so rich in color and details than I have no words to describe the amount of richness put in one doll. Very nice!!

Release date is February 14th, 2013

Coming Soon - Luncheon Ensemble Barbie Doll

This year, Robert expands upon the “Atelier” theme for the BFMC, starting with Luncheon Ensemble Barbie Doll. She’s a lady about town, savoring the first breaths of Spring and opening herself to a fresh blush of color. Going out for an afternoon bite with her friends, she chooses an elegant taffeta ensemble with a classic shape, and a pink floral print. The fitted knee-length dress and puffed-sleeve swing coat are beautifully accessorized with pointed pumps and gloves. Bows at the shoulders and a rosette embellishment on the lovely turban complete the chic couture creation.

This is the first silkstone doll, from a total of six, from the Barbie Fashion Model Collection in 2013 (two of them are exclusive for the fan club members)

As mentioned before, she's a Robert Best creation. I can't denied her face is stunning and everything macht perfectly the glamour on the doll. The only detail I didn't like was the way the sleeves is, this big "balloon" thing, just seems a little weird to me, and the position of the rose on the hat, I think if it was on the side, it would look more feminine, just my opinion...

Release date on Valentine's day - 02.14.2013. It would be a great gift...and she's a gold label

Hope everyone are having a great week!

Stephen Burrows Pazette Barbie Doll

One of the things that lock my eyes to a doll is the "richness" of detail on it. I like to stop and analyze the face features, the makeup, the materials used, accessories and anything very well made. This doll was one like that, she has a good amount of different material on her clothes, and her makeup? can't love enough...and the white look so lovely on her dark skin, for me, it was very well made! - and, I haven't see her in real life :-(

She's a direct exclusive from Barbie Collector.com, was designer by Linda Kyaw
, is a gold label and was released on August of 2012.

A flash of feathers, a sprinkling of sequins, and daring design elevate one stylish woman to fashion icon status. Inspired by the dazzling world of a retro showgirl, she makes a show-stopping entrance that wows any audience—from the catwalk to the stage and beyond!
Stephen Burrows Pazette Barbie doll, created by the renowned designer, wears an extraordinary ensemble that stuns with silvery glitter, rhinestones, and sequins. The luscious shade of nude plays against beautiful deep skin tone and black hair pulled into an elegant chignon. A silvery headpiece features a cascade of white feathers. Stephen Burrows' enduring contribution to the foundation of American style and his distinguished career make him an undeniable star in fashion design.
Stephen Burrows was the first African American designer to achieve international acclaim. His vision and design techniques were considered revolutionary during a time when European fashion houses strongly influenced American design. Today he continues to be inspired by music, dance, and the movement of the body, producing innovative clothing that is soft, comfortable and chic. His designs make bold use of color, structure, and fabric weight. Now, this master designer turns his eye to a favorite style icon and creates Stephen Burrows Pazette Barbie doll.

 Designed by Bill Greening, this Gold Label Barbie Doll will be released on June 21th of this year. Nothing to say as the wonderfully job done with this doll speak for itself.
