Boom!💥
Sometimes Mattel shows hints of its former genius... these dolls are beautiful and adult collectors everywhere are scampering to get their hands on them.
Yet, I suspect they are more excited by the prospect of non-ugly faces and articulated bodies than by the 'meh' designs... The jumpsuit had potential, but the top and skirt are basic, and the dress looks like something my 50-something year old mother would wear.
Personally I like the dolls, but I am cautious about #10 (middle). For one, I have been waiting such a long time for an articulated body in this exquisite dark skin tone 😍... and they go and produce a TALL body. Sigh... ok. I guess I'll make it work. But who did this doll's makeup? Purple and pink eyeshadow and... red lipstick??? My word! With this face mold which is already on the dramatic side, I would think adding more drama with over-the-top makeup could push this face over the edge into ugly. Remember the frighteningly hideous BMR1959 petite AA doll with purple hair? 🤮
Mattel, I see you but I'm also watching you. Were you secretly bought over by Integrity? #10 looks like she will fit in well with Fashion Royalty dolls (which I detest). I'm willing to bet FR collectors will have her snatched up before Barbie collectors even manage to get their credit cards out.
