Sign of the Times Brunette Poppy Redressed

This doll is a beauty and this is my first attempts at redressing her. I know I have not done her justice.

I redressed her in the outfit from Winter Evening Barbie and although it looks okay, I am not too fond of the shiny button in the middle of her waist.

The second outfit I put her in was a Barbie Loony Toons outfit. What do you guys think of the outfits. Let me know if you can and stay tuned for more outfit changes 🙂

Barbie® David Bowie Doll: Ziggy Stardust

FXD84_01

Barbie® honors the ultimate pop chameleon, English singer, songwriter, and actor, David Bowie, whose dramatic musical transformations continue to influence and inspire. With a career spanning over five decades, David Bowie was at the vanguard of contemporary culture as a musician, artist, and icon. He was, and remains to be, a unique presence in contemporary culture. Dressed as Bowie’s fantastic sci-fi alter ego, Ziggy Stardust, in the iconic metallic ‘space suit,’ this collectible Barbie® doll honors the cultural legacy of the musical genius who redefined rock and roll.

I tried visiting Barbie.com to check on her availability but she doesn’t seem to be available at the moment. It is marked as a Gold Label doll so it will be produced in limited quantities and unfortunately, I don’t know what that quantity is. Priced at USD50.00

Sign of the Times Brunette Poppy Parker

After I took out the photo with my 9 Poppy Parker dolls, I had intended to limit my Poppy Parker collection to just 10 dolls. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I saw an ad for the Brunette Sign of the Times Poppy Parker doll and just had to have her. The collector I bought her from had really taken very good care of her and had combed out her hair so that she looked really beautiful. I just couldn’t resist her. I managed to meet up with this really nice collector that was selling her at lunch today and she is now in my hot little hands 🙂 I now have to figure out what outfit she should wear. Need to comb through my dolly wardrobe to see what’s available. Isn’t she a beauty?

2019 Holiday Barbies

I meant to post this the other day but then RL cropped up and I completely forgot about it till now. The 2019 Holiday Barbies are out and are available in 3 different skin tones.

I would like to see the actual dolls before I consider getting them. There was a point in time when I had all the holiday Barbies starting with the one in 1988 but I had to give some of them up when my collection exploded and I had to downsize my collection.

What about you? Is one of these dolls or the set of 3 on your wishlist?

Looks a Plenty Poppy Parker

This set finally arrived and I am very pleased with the dolls. I bought the body completer set as well so now I have 3 complete dolls and 9 Poppy Parker dolls in my collection.

I know that this is not a fantastic picture of the 9 dolls but I just wanted to see head shots of all the dolls and the different hair colors.

I started to do a video of me unboxing the dolls but I wasn’t happy with the result. Fortunately, I came across a video done by another collector and have used that instead. She’s only done a video on the first look so far but she did a great job so here it is.

 

Here’s the video for Look 2 of the Looks A Plenty Poppy Parker giftset. The review for the 2nd look starts at 4.04 if you don’t want to go through the whole first part of the video again.

 

And here’s the one for Look 3. The review for Look 3 begins at 5.07
