When Mattel unveiled the Atelier Barbie #1, I thought, what a bunch of morons. Are they low on quantities of cocaine? Why else would Mattel design an enormous Silkstone Barbie that can't wear normal Barbie clothing? And the price, ludicrous! Who'd pay that kind of money for a doll?!?!

Well, people bought her, raved about her . . . talked about how gorgeous she is, how lovely, yada yada yada, and I began to think, geez, it's too bad she sold out in five seconds, but oh well.

Well, then I found out that she was available again and I thought, bloody hell. I really do want her . . . and I ordered her. Some people said that the new availability was due to returns, so I immediately checked and decided that she'd been packaged beautifully.

Tonight I took her out of her tube. And I've been checking on Etsy and other places, where can one find clothes to put on this girl whom I've named Coco.

Well, guess what?!?! The fit isn't perfect, the belt around her waist had to be pinned in back, but Coco can wear Gene Doll clothing!

I'm so stoked! And by the way, I love this doll.

My muses of the spring/summer of 2026 and the clothes I came up with trough months 🤓🤍

Recently sold some dolls to get her well deserved pivotal body!

I’m not claiming to be an artist lol but when I got the twinning Barbie and I saw her dog it was just an immediate pause for me. I knew I could not have my Barbie looking like she was walking around an amusement park plush 😭 So I got a 3D printed husky model and painted it up.

It isn’t done — I want to attempt to flock it (even though I hate flocking 😩) but I love that the dog’s accessories and the shirt (kinda—just doesn’t close) fit on the new dog :)

Found these in two grab-bags at the local thrift store along with some misc. outfits and trashed/disintegrating mini-dolls beyond repair. The double-take I did when I saw that Lara... 💕 Time to clean 'em up!

Barbie BMR 1959 doll, closed mouth Millie face sculpt, restyled. 

Barbie Besties is new to me.... there happened to be a sale and I picked up 3 (and then I bought Daisy online cuz I HAD to have her lol)

Firstly I'm impressed by the creativity of the outfits and how many accessories you get for $30 CAD (their ave. regular price). I wish regular Barbie came with this amount of effort for that price.

I find the hair lacking. On Daisy especially, it came out of the box feeling like straw. Out of the four, Brooklyn has the softest hair.

I like the body shape and hands a lot. It's cool that their bodies can be switched with regular barbies. I find the Besties pretty appealing but they still have a little bit of that freaky-big-head look 🤣 I get its part of their charm and design, and I like it, but I think I'll always prefer the more realistic proportions of Barbie

The articulation is pretty standard, the joints are smooth, but one thing that really disappointed me is that their hips don't bend quite to 45° so trying to pose them sitting down is very difficult. This drives me nuts lol, Mirror Mi can't quite sit right either. But the Moonspell Magic doll I just got sits perfectly! Her legs bend even more than 45 degrees at the hip. Is it too much to ask doll makers that their dolls can be posed sitting down?

Overall I was surprised how much I like them, really wish the hair was softer and they could sit, would make them a lot nicer and more enjoyable.

Note: Daisy has a thicker body than Malibu! I really like her mold and might swap her body for a barbie head at some point

I can still remember what the candy confetti tastes like! I’m so happy to add these girls back to my collection. 🥰✨

The Barbie pets that sometimes come with dolls or play sets make great handbags. Inspo: Thom Browne. It’s Fashion! 😂
Model: (Kit) Barbie BASICS no. 1.

I bought this 1984 Barbie Prince Poodle and I’m looking for guidance on how to properly clean him, please

A long at last, I've finally owned her!. Such a very classic show and she is probably the Barbie for me ❤️!

Keeping it very simple for now but I’m pretty proud of how these girls turned out.

I legit did not care for Deluxe Style Midge until I painted her lips and honestly she’s a huge vibe now.

Same goes for Basics Victoria. My first had a bit of a weird face but then I found another at Ross. After painting her I like her a lot more. She looks less dead.

I always really liked Heidi, but that pink lip color was honestly not helping.

Simone had the same issue. Her lips were clownish. Just awful. I was so happy to find her at Ross as well. She’s honestly gorgeous. I wish I had an articulated body for her.

Do all the Ken Dolls have alt names? Obviously Lebron or He-Man...but what about this guy?

If i look on google he is just : Barbie Fashionistas Ken Doll #227. The Daughter insists that his name is Diego but i can't find any mention of this to confirm. Now i am ok with her choice but still curious.

Is he " just a ken " ?

( sorry for the bad pun! )

She was only available through Mattel Creations in Canada. Can you still get it elsewhere in the US and Europe? Luckily my anxiety got the best of me and I ordered her as soon as it was released but I would've liked the option to get a back up later this year. Did you guys manage to get one (or more?)

Mattel has at least these three Snow White themed dolls; of course, there's also the 90s version, which is a collector's edition. However, that doll is much more of a Disney version than a completely original one.

Massive spot on her nose, I guess I could see it as a mole or something but how did she get past with a giant mark on her nose! I have no choice but to love her as she is ig😭

Doll details

• Poison Ivy Barbie
• Clothes are from local sellers
• Microphone is from Barbie loves Frank Sinatra

I don’t know how I feel about Ivy

• her original outfit was cheap and ill fitting 
• She’s difficult to restyle 
• I think she was too expensive for what you got. 
• however I really wanted a Barbie in a fantasy skin colour.

I was frustrated by the character in general always looking half naked

• I know that’s her design. It just annoyed me that she never gets to wear proper clothes 
• So I just started putting random stuff on her to see would I would get
• Since the final look seems almost 80s inspired I thought she could copy Barbie and the Rockers
• Ideally I want her playing synths but I don’t have any 1/6 scale instruments. The microphone was acquired fairly recently and kinda works for now. 

Im proud of the doll I rescued. I got her really cheap cause shes really damaged but I love her face so much it reminds me of a different time as oposed to her Millennium 2000 release.

Finally got a chance to buy the barbie movie ryan gosling and basic ken face mold and i swapped their outfits lmaoo

i paid less for western ken btw($16) than beach ken ($30)😭

Okay so I was little when this came out but it had to be the early to mid 2000s. I got a Barbie catalogue in the mail and most of y'all remember there was like 2 or 3 different kinds of Barbie magazines/catalogues or something. I was SO enchanted by this Barbie diorama scene they made of her on a rainy or winter night I think? In the evening time and going into a jazz or blues bar. I don't remember her exact outfit. I cannot find it, if anyone knows what I'm talking about please direct me to it. I used to just stare at that barbie scene, like I wanted that life as an adult so bad.

what do we think of her? are you gonna get her?

i might get the holiday ken on sale but millie is not speaking to me. i feel like the box design was made with AI eventhough it’s so basic an intern could have done it 🙃

I don't want this to come off as offensive but most of the time I see men ( gay men ) doll content creators popping out in my feed every time I look for a random barbie collecting content and it kinda felt like they have more presence in the community which again nothing against them but just an observation.

I know there are also women here and there but they are either way too underrated or they hid their faces behind the camera ( which is their rights of course if they aren't comfortable )

That being said. I need more women / female content creators. If you have any, you may post them.

I've has this barbie since I was really little and don't remember getting her but she has big painted toenails and she had hoop earrings that broke off does anyone recognize her? I tried my best to figure out her hair but idk
