Jurassic World Owen & Claire Dolls

Just came across photos of these dolls today and especially like the look of the Claire doll. I like that she is not the typical pretty blonde doll. I read that the doll is supposed to resemble the actress who plays the part. I will plead ignorance and say that I haven’t seen the movie but decided to search for a photo of the actress.

I love dolls with freckles and red hair so I guess that’s probably the reason why I’d like to get this doll. I hope she comes with some interesting accessories because I don’t think her outfit is anything die for. One other thing that makes this a ‘must buy’ for me is the fact that the Claire doll is articulated.

I love the way this doll looks. Again I would like to see it in person because I hope that it is very tanned as I would love to have an articulated Ken doll that has a darker skin tone.

Barbie® Faraway Forest® Fairy Kingdom Wedding Dolls Giftset

I have to be honest and admit that I experienced a sense of deja vu when I first came across the photo of this set. It’s beautiful enough I guess but I feel as if I’ve seen it before. Flashback to the Together forever series and the Barbie & Ken as Camelot’s King Arthur and Queen Guinevere from 1999. Honestly, that’s the first thing I thought of. I know the dolls look totally different but I guess I’ve been collecting for too long and want to see something different in the collector line instead of sets where Barbie is just a beautiful blond doll. I know I have also been spoilt by the Fashionista dolls which have so much diversity. One collector series that has piqued my interest and that I couldn’t miss was the Amelia Earhart doll from the Barbie Inspiring Women series. I wish I could have purchased more than just the Amelia doll but just couldn’t because of space and budget constraints.

What do you guys think? Am I being too harsh or have I just been collecting for too long? 🙂

Unicorn Goddess Barbie

I just found out about this Barbie a few days ago and love the concept. She is the first doll in the enchanting Mythical Muse™ Series designed by Bill Greening. I think all the details of her outfit look interesting but implementation is key and I’d definitely want to have a look at her in person before actually deciding to purchase her.

Skipper from the Babysitters Inc Series

IMG_7766Just got this doll today and love her. I didn’t think that I would like her face as much but she is cute and I love her hair. I am definitely a fan of this series of dolls and I urge all of you to get them if you like them because I think these dolls are a keeper. Also, I hear that they are already difficult to get in some parts of the world and have “flown” off most shelves.
