The Queen of the Constellations Barbie doll is one of my must haves this year. I loved her from the second I saw her and I’m so glad I’ll be able to get her soon. But I was a little bit suprised when I noticed they changed the promo pictures on BC. The first promo picture had a softer vibe, the face paint was not as harsh as the one on the new promo pic. Also I noticed some milder differences in the dress and cape. The new one is more body fitted than the older one.
I have to admit I preferred the old version but I’m also happy with the new one. How about you? What do you prefer?
The second issue of the lovely doll e-zine “That Doll Magazine” will be coming out shortly and here is its cover.
You will be aible to buy this issue and the first one on the official TDM page www.thatdollmagazine.com for just $5.99 USD per issue! Be sure to check them out.
UPDATE:
These images are part of a Barbie Collector survey. Other dolls were featured including some really nice possible playline Barbies. I so wish Mattel would start producing again more realistic looking playline dolls. These remind me of the Fashion Fever line. So cute!
Hi everybody!
First of all let me say sorry for being MIA, but I’m sick. I got…chicken pox. Yup…at 32 years old. I never had the so called childhood illnesses so here I am! Tomorrow I’ll be celebrating one week of being quarantined in the house and it looks like I’ll be staying another week.
Anyway, getting back to our Barbie dolls, Doll Genie is reporting that these might be the Jennifer Lopez Barbie dolls. Very elegant! I really like them. Can’t really tell if they look like JLO, but I loke their faishions. Can’t wait to bigger images.
My friend and colleague Lubo has announced that three new Hunger Games Barbie dolls are coming out this year. They are:
- Hunger Games Katniss (Oct) $36
- Hunger Games Gale (Oct) $36
- Hunger Games Peeta (Oct) $36
I’m not a Hunger Games fan but I can’t wait to see the new Katniss Barbie especially if she will be wearing the fabulous dress from the poster. And now, as a bonus, here’s the first ever Hunger Games: Cathing Fire trailer.
Nik and Marie from Ninimomo have also debuted 3 of their amazing OOAK creations that will be available at the GAW 2013 Convention. So glad they created an OOAK Ken. He looks so handsome!
Mario and Gianni from Magia 2000 have just previewed the amazing OOAK Barbie doll they’ll be donating for this year’s GAW Convention. The theme of the convention is “Spring Time in Paris” and it will take place on April 19th ~ 21st.
can’t wait to see the convention doll! Any of my readers going to the convention?
Via Doll Genie I have some very sad news for all the collectors that really wanted the Barbie® and Midge® 50th Anniversary Gift Set in their collection.
For your information… MATTEL has cancelled all orders for the Barbie/Midge Anniversary Set 4/9/2013 – if you didn’t get a shipment of them yet, you will not be getting one
No official statement yet about the reason. I bet now the set will start selling for INSANE amounts of eBay.
Looks like this is the year Spain is really making a statement in the Barbie World. The official Barbie Club in Spain is organizing it’s first doll show in September and here are the details:
We have the pleasure to announce that the official Barbie club in Spain “Coleccionistas de Fashion dolls in Madrid ” is going to held in september 13/14/15 the most fun and enjoyble doll event that you can find in our country, the main star will be Barbie doll.
For this event the central theme which was chosen by club members will be “CINEMA”!!! Activities, gifts and convention doll will rivolve about this fascinating theme which will delight you.
According to DollSociety on Flickr, this year we’ll also be getting some new actress Barbies. Melanie Griffith, Mira Sorvino and Rebecca De Mornay will become Barbie dolls later this year. I’m very curious about their face molds. I hope they’ll create new ones that really resemble closely the actresses.
The rumours were true. Mattel is going to create two Jennifer Lopez Barbies: J. Lo – Jennifer Lopez Red Carpet Barbie (Pink Label ~ X8287) and J. Lo – Jennifer Lopez Barbie (Pink Label ~ Y3357). The dolls will be released this summer and no other details are available right now. I think that one of the dolls will be simmilar to the OOAK doll created for Charity Buzz last year. Here she is:
I hope she’ll have the same fabulous fashions! I’m not very interested in the dolls but I do love those fashions.
