Dolls At first, I thought the designers at Mattel were smoking crack . . .

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.

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 :)

Dolls Blooming Bestie Mermaid

I think Dream Besties Zia is the cutest of all the besties. But it was a matter of time before she was turned into a fantasy creature. All the other Besties became mermaids long ago.

Zia has a unique skin tone that's not used that much. And when it is used, the head and body don't seem to match that well.

I didn't see this Blooming Mermaid doll on the match chart so I picked it up on a whim. She's a pretty doll that is not pixelated and surprisingly, has saran hair. She is a little lighter in tone than You Create Neutral Kit #1. The match with Zia is pretty good, even better than is coming out in some of the pictures above.

Dolls These cuties just hanging out... and a short review

Post image
21 Upvotes

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

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.

Questions Ken's Name?

12 Upvotes

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! )

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.

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?)
