O well ... selling just replacement bodies is a great idea. Wish they would!

Anyway, your comment sent me googling and I found out that the dolls you're talking about are called Barbie Glamour Luxury Fashion 2014 and they look really neat! They are getting close to the Fashion Fever level of creativity, but on jointed bodies (with the torso joint) and with eyelashes. I wonder how much they will cost around here, because I'm interested. I found the new "Fashionistas" online as well, the ones on rigid bodies with bent arms. I'm guessing they made these changes to provide cheap and sturdy dolls for kids while keeping the fashion theme and the same characters. I think they should make more replacement bodies and body parts like they did for MH. There are so many stiff barbies and only a few pivotal (Is it pivotal? I think that's another type of body, slimmer than Fashionista). I want more characters too. Where did all the Fashion Fever gang go? I wish I had caught them when they were in stores.<br /><br />Thanks for the compliment! I need to get my lazy butt off the couch and practice repainting more.BlackKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014093330317682849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938454543246275999.post-67573325487003339082014-01-19T23:58:35.162+02:002014-01-19T23:58:35.162+02:00Your old Summer was the first Fashionista I was in...Your old Summer was the first Fashionista I was interested in (I think! It seems a long time ago now) and I'm still very fond of her ... I wasn't a big fan of some of the later Summers who were a bit "balloon headed" although your glitter wave Summer looks OK. I have really warmed to the Fashionistas and find something in nearly every wave that I like. I've heard a rumour that they are going to be fazed out now and replaced with the more expensive (but better dressed) Barbie Style (also sometimes known as Barbie Luxe, I've not seen a box in rl so I'm not sure which is right) range. Also, I've seen that there are some very interesting Barbies being sold in America at the mo under the banner Fashionista, but they are not pivotal! I LOVE the poseability of these dolls and have rebodied quite a lot of my collection onto Fashionista bodies. I think Mattel should be making more pivotal dolls, not less. <br /><br />Love your repaint, by the way .... Oh yes, and when I used to display my dolls the pervy poses issue cropped up time and time again - people just can't help themselves, it seems :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
