Yesterday we got a glimpse of some of the new 2017 Fashionistas Barbie dolls via a video on Instagram so, to make things easier, I made a few print screens of the new girls.
Here’s the video:
And here are the screen grabs.
As a lot of you have already noticed, Kira is making a comeback! Wow. I love that they use more and more of the 90s “forgotten” face molds. This series is getting better every year. If it only had articulation again…
Thanks to a reader of mine, S Havilland Parker 
, we have new IRL images of the beautiful playline Wonder Woman action dolls plus a few with the new DC Super Hero Girls. The only one I don’t like is Steve Trevor because of his molded pants and the fact that he looks nothing like Chris Pine. 
Other ta\han that, love them all!

And here are the DC Girls.
Now come on and show us Wonder Woman Collector Barbie dolls!
I have gathered up a bunch of info from the 2017 Toy Fair in regards to some of Mattel’s brands. Please feel free to add any piece of info you know.
First here’s a video from TimeToPlayMagazine.
In the video we can see a closeup of the new Fashionistas plus an image of the Yves Saint Laurent Barbie that were featured on the Barbie Style Instagram account last year.
Finally things have really started to pop up in the Barbie world and now we have a new promo image of the 2017 Fashionistas dolls.
That first AA girl… WOW!!! So gorgeous! My God. I need her. <3 Which ones are your fave?
I’m screaming. Can you hear me?? Mattel and Entertainment Weekly have just revealed the images of the new 2017 Wonder Woman dolls and we get not one but FOUR Diana/Wonder Woman dolls.
And looks like the dolls are priced between $14.99 and $19.99! Wow.
LE: I think the first two are some sort of She-Ra like figurines.
The sets will be $26.99 and $29.99.
I have a surprise for you! An image of the first Fashionistas dolls from 2017. There will be 14 this year and here are the first three.
We have already seen the orange haired girl on Instagram.
So what do you think of them?
I met Adele online a while back and was very pleseantly surprised to find out she’s Romanian just like I am. There aren’t a lot of Romanian collectors and doll lovers out there and my heart rejoices every time I find a fellow Romanian doll collector and artist.
Adele runs an uber cute eBay shop where she sells the most adorable OOAK dolls plus lots more super affordable playline and collector dolls. What I love about her is that she has things for everyone. You can shop for a beautiful redhaired Steffie, a sweet Heart Family Mom or a dazzling Fairytopia Barbie doll.
I have asked Adele to answer a few questions for you so you could get to know her better.
1. How did you start collecting and what made you decide tondo OOAK dolls?
I am originally from Romania and my first barbie doll was the 1991 European Exclusive Barbie Ibiza doll. This was brought for me from Austria because you could not buy anything like this in Romania. It was such a big deal for me. This was my only Barbie doll until 2008 
when I spotted the gorgeous Carnaval Barbie from the Festivals of the World Collection. This was my first collector doll. I literally went insane after this and started buying a bunch of collector dolls. I just couldn’t get enough I was amazed by the beauty and outfits of these dolls. I had no idea until this time that there was an elite line of collectible Barbie dolls. This made me think, which adult would have time and money to collect Barbie dolls Then I found out about the Michigan Grant A Wish convention which now I attend every year. At first it amazed me that these collectors have hundreds of dolls, some over 1000. I thought this was crazy. Now, I am one of these people But I went even further than some people. I started restoring, repainting, rerooting used dolls and sewed unique dresses for them, added new jewels, slowly transforming them into one of a kind dolls or semi OOAK dolls. I was amazed by Ninimomo’s and Mario’s OOAK dolls at the convention. I had no idea this was even possible to make.
2. Do you have another doll artist that you admire and that inspires you?
I love Angie Gill’s repaints. Her dolls’ faces are so perfect. I love Ninimomo’s exquisite dress designs.
3. What are your favorite themes for your OOAK designs?
I love making fairy dolls, traditional national dresses for dolls. But I am pretty much interested in anything that makes a doll look unique. I made a clown doll for the 2016 Grant A Wish competition and I won. I also love making holiday dolls, for Christmas, Easter, Halloween.
4. And what is your favorite doll you have ever created?
Each of the dolls I work on will be unique, so I have many favorites. But probably the most original one was the clown doll because you really never saw anything like this before. This was my pure imagination, not copied from anywhere I love making fairy dolls too. I just finished 3 OOAK dressed dolls for the 2017 Grant A Wish and I am thrilled how they turned out. But unfortunately I can not say anything more about this until after the convention. I will reveal these photos after the convention.
5. 2017 has just started so tell me what are you looking forward to this year in the doll world.
I really want to get the King of the Crystal Cave Ken doll this year. I am also interested in getting the Platinum label one too. I love surprises. I am working on my next OOAK doll which will be in the Easter theme.
So if you are looking for great dolls and great deals, don’t forget to stop by Adele’s shop on Ebay and show her some love.
So this image (originating from China) is circulating on the internet and it looks like these are the dolls from the new Wonder Woman movie. My guess is that the first one is an action figure (judging by the molded dress and the box) but the second one sure looks like the Wonder Woman Antiope Barbie doll that we know we will be getting this year. I hope it’s the real deal cause she looks fabulous!
Thoughts?

Looks like the 2017 Totally Hair Barbie 25th Anniversary repro doll has popped up in some stores. She is a repro of the best selling Barbie doll ever produced as this year marks it’s 25th anniversary. I kind of like that they kept the original vibe and that the box looks like the 90s boxes, but, somehow, I wanted a bit more from this doll. I don’t know… I can’t really put my finger on it.
What do you think of her?
