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!

1992 Walmart 30th Anniversary Star Special Limited Edition Barbie Doll

I have progressed some how...remember THIS post about the Barbie's dolls I have found on my shed, well here is the fist one!

She came in the box like this:

 She was dirty, but not in a bad condition...I washed her clothes and gave her a nice bath, she looked like new! I didn't feel comfortable to comb and "fix" the hair, so it's the same way as when I got her.

 So, one less to go!

Good Tuesday folks!!

 

Happy Anyversary!!!

Wow, It has been 5 years today, I have been here (on and off) for 5 years!! and even with all right and wrong I can't let it go, recently, a lot has been going on in my life, but here...I found my own little fantasy world...all i can say is thank you internet and all of you who has passed here, even to copy and paste one of "my" images :-), kidding!!most of them are "internet images".

Great week, folks!!

 

Holliday Barbie doll Walmart exclusive

While in Walmart last week I notice this Holiday Barbie doll with a Walmart exclusive sticker on it and I couldn't figured it out at first, so I placed two of them side by side and noticed that the one "from Walmart" has also an ornament up in the left corner of the box. As you can see, the price is $39.97, nice add to any collection.

I actually saw the Caucasian version on this doll at the flea market going for $30.00.

Just giving you guys a heads up in case you'll buy this doll at Walmart.



 

What is up with that???

So as I have mentioned on the post before I was browsing at stores last couples of days. I was actually looking for some outfits for the naked Barbie dolls I have, but I was disappointed with the outfits prices.

A set with 3 different outfits was more expensive than a very cute dressed doll!!!I don't get it!

So, why Am I going to buy three outfits before actually getting a doll? I didn't buy neither, but If I have to pick of course I would go with the doll. Just to mentioned, Barbie dolls outfit prices on eBay are way overpriced (90's outfits) as well, that was the reason I went to stores, maybe I would find something on clearance or something... I don't know what's happening!

BTW, some dolls are cheaper at Target.


 

Browsing around stores...

I just want to share some products on stores now...

I'm no a big shopper person, I usually go with my husband, I prefer to buy online, but it's nice every so often to go there and actually see the doll before you buy it. Actually, have you see the new dolls how well articulated and cute they are? I'm impressed with the eyelashes, I so want to buy one and open the box!!!

Hope you guys are having a great week!!

It wouldn't be a bad idea, but no, not for me :-)

Halloween Barbie - Target Exclusive

I actually forgot about this lady, but yeah, Target, a department store, every year has her own Halloween version of Barbie. For 2013, she is a very simple girl, nothing really stand out, for me, if wasn't for the piece of black hair and the drawn on her shirt she would very well be just a "regular" doll. Target had got better ones in the past...Don't get me wrong, she's still cute. Oh well, it's just a department store doll!Not a direct exclusive!

 What do you think?

 

"Finds" from my shed!

This past week I was working on trying to organize my shed and I found a full box of Barbie dolls. I actually thought that this box were on my father-in-law's house as I store my dolls there - nope!!!There were just hanging there! I got it about two years ago from eBay and never had a chance to work on as I was working full time back then. How about now? Better later than never!
These are just some of them...

This poor girl is pretty messed up, she had her hair cut and i didn't show in the picture, but one of her legs was not attached, seems broken :-( I know nothing about restoring/fix dolls, but I'll do my best!)

So, I was able to identify most of them...I'll clean them, give some love and share with you guys.
First, I have to say it was very time consuming, I was able to find most of them on my Barbie's collector's book as they had clothes and accessories on, but some one them I will have to work harder!

I'm glad I have found them!
Hope you all have a great week!
