Barbie T-Shirt designed by Guido Maria Kretschmer and other playline news

September 28, 2014September 28, 2014 - Ada Leave a comment

Looks like Barbie has a lot of designers creating fashions for her this year. I just found this designer t-shirt on Toys ‘R Us Germany that is designed by German designer Guido Maria Kretschmer. Not really sure if it’s doll sized or it’s for kids. I hope it’s doll sized as I think designer fashions for Barbie are such a cool thing.

There are also a couple of new playline dolls and sets. First is the FAB Beetle VW that has the best dashboard I have ever seen on a Barbie car. Not sure if it’s a brand new car, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it. I haven’t payed that much attention to playline dolls lately. Too much pink, same old themes…

How amazing is that? Must have this set!

There are some new dolls from the upcoming Barbie movie “Barbie In The Nutcraker” (don’t they ever get tired of this theme?!) that are cute but not my thing.

One of the most awaited things in the playline Barbie world is the Advent calendar and here’s the 2014 one.

Gianfranco™ Ken® Doll 2014 on BarbieCollector.com

September 24, 2014September 24, 2014 - Ada 1 Comment

A new Ken doll has just been released on BarbieCollector.com and his name is Gianfranco™ Ken®. He’s part of the Silkstone line inspired by the Italian Alta Moda and he is said to be Italian.

Gold Label®
Designed by: Robert Best
Release Date: 10/1/2014
Product Code: BDH41
No more than 3300 units produced worldwide.

Gianfranco™ Ken® doll sports a brushed cotton blazer featuring black flocked trim on the lapels and pockets, button details at the sleeves and a silky black lining. Underneath, is a white tailored shirt, narrow black satin tie and dark indigo jeans with turned up cuffs. Perfetto!

Call me crazy, but I don’t like him. His fashions are cute, but he is just plain boring. There is something about the male dolls from Mattel in the last years that just don’t do anything for me. Look at the guys from the Dynamite Girls series for example!

Almost the same price range but Auden is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better looking than this Ken. I’m sorry if you think I’m being harsh or something but I’m just dissapointed. Looks like I’m in aminority here because most collectors seem to like him but for me he’s a big no, no.

I didn’t care that much for the Tribal Beauty Barbie doll but this one has to be one of Linda’s finest creations. Good luck if you are bidding. This prototype is a true gem.

The most important party at MFDS 2014 has taken place this evening and the most awaited dolls of the convention were revealed! The convention doll is the beautiful “Fiorella Goes to Madrid” and she has been gently donated by Mattel USA. On her trip to Madrid her lips had changed to a red passion color, she recovered the bag she was sporting at the original Robert Best sketch and she has added to her accessories list a gold and pearl tiara inspired on one of the latest Dolce & Gabbana collections.

Barbie Ekberg Tribute is the name of these beautiful centerpiece dolls from the gala dinner at MFDS 2014. The dolls are designed by Paco Alcaide and they are wearing dresses hand sewn by Yolanda Cañete. Also they are a homage to one of the most iconic scenes in cinema history: Anita Ekberg inside the Fontana di Trevi in “La Dolce Vita” movie.

All the centerpieces were raffled among the atendees together with several other super gifts. I so envy the people that won them.

Two variations, Caucasian and Afro American, for a colorful and amazing MOD doll. Dressed in a mini dress featuring a fabulous print with matching belt, colorful stockings, pink earrings and go-go boots: these two dolls became the most desired item of the party.
