In the Stores
Had to visit the nearest toy department today which happened to be OG. Saw a few new dolphin magic outfits which were cute. I loved the ones with the dog but luckily for my wallet, I was in no hurry to buy them.😀
Also saw a few new Fashionistas which were very tempting…
I like the pleated skirt in the first set and the mole on the face of the doll in the second set.
I guess I have two more dolls to add to my ever growing dolly wishlist. Oh dear!!!! 😬
What’s in the stores? (2)
Was out shopping today and just had to drop by OG Orchard’s Toy Department. The toy department there is definitely one of the better ones in Singapore at this time. They have a wide range of toys for both boys and girls and the way it’s arranged just gives the interested eye the feeling of there being loads to explore. Definitely a plus.
Of course I headed straight for the Barbie section and was pleasantly surprised to some new Fashionistas and accessory packs so Yay!!!!
I don’t know about you guys that I hadn’t seen these before. The only problem I now have is how to stop myself from buying too many 😳😱🤣🤣
I liked the accessory packs as well. These were priced at $7.90 and they seemed to have a good variety. These will definitely appeal to those interested in creating dioramas for their dolls.
I know the pictures leave aren’t that great but hopefully they give you an idea of a couple of the varieties that’s in stock.
What’s in the stores?
Has anyone seen anything new in the stores lately? I went to Takashimaya a couple of weeks ago and they had quite a few new play sets which were pretty cool but not much on the doll front. The most interesting was Builder Barbie. I thought this was great because it combined Barbie with that extra creative element that is so often advocated for development nowadays.
and theBut scanning the shelves still made me wonder when Barbie or doll collecting in Singapore got so boring? When I started collecting in the late 1990s, it was always fun to visit a department store because there was always something new or something being marked down. Of course, we used to have a greater number of stores that carried Barbie back then. This included Oriental Emporium and Sogo…sigh…the good old days 🙂 Are little ones no longer playing with Barbie? Thinking about this question made me realize that whenever I visited the Barbie section at Takashimaya or OG, the only ones browsing the shelves were adults 😖 Does that mean that the market is just too small to bring in a constant supply of new dolls or could it just be that the nearest Mattel office is in Australia? Please write in if you want to share your thoughts on this?
[Side note] I just googled Oriental Emporium to try to find out when their stores closed in Singaporeand came across this article, If you’ve been to all these 8 department stores in Singapore, you’re uncle /auntie by Cassandra Tan [Guess who definitely qualifies…yes, this Auntie :)]
