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!

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!!

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.
