February 2020 – Nuts About Dolls

This gold label doll is the last doll of the Mythical Muse collection which started with the Unicorn Goddess™ Barbie® Doll in 2018 and was followed by the Mermaid Enchantress™ Barbie® Doll in 2019.

When I first heard the name of this doll, I immediately thought of Bob Mackie’s Fantasy Goddess of Asia Barbie and was actually surprised when I got my first glimpse of the photo of the doll. On second thought, I shouldn’t have been surprised because this doll follows the same sort of color scheme as the 2 other dolls in the series and has a dreamy aura about her. I know many collectors who loved the other dolls in the series so I am sure that she will be a hit with them as well.

I realize that it’s been some time since I’ve posted. There are 2 reasons for this. For one, RL has been pretty hectic and secondly, I don’t think there’s been anything exciting in the dolly world to talk about.

I haven’t received or purchased anything new since Christmas but that changed yesterday when I managed to get my hands on come Barbie Puma outfits that I have been eyeing for a while. There was a first wave of these with some really cute accessories etc but these are currently only available on the secondary market. However, the following have been in stock on Amazon on and off over the last week and I finally managed to get my hands on the 2 designs that I wanted which are outfits 3 & 4. I love the black shorts and the fact that the Puma brand name is on its waistband. I purchased them on Amazon for $4.99 each.
