Skipper 50th Anniversary Doll

I haven't been on Barbie Collector.com for a long time and today when I was browsing around the website, I'm sure it's nothing new...This doll caught my eyes. I think it was a very good idea from Mattel, since Skipper's lovers can add this piece of cutie to their collection.

http://www.fashion-doll-guide.com/Vintage-Skipper-Happy-Birthday.html
 The doll is a re-creation of the fashion outfit above. According to fashion doll guide this set is very rare to find, specially the whole set.

I like the "old dolls", some of you may know my preference for the 80's looks ones, but for me the "modern vintage look" on the new one was the best, i really like it!

She's a gold label, a 2014 vintage reproduction and it's sold out on barbiecollector.com - actual price was $39.95, but you can get on eBay, if you are lucky, for no less than $100 plus shipping and handling.

Ps: Pictures are from Barbie Collector.com








I also found a picture, on eBay, where you can check the doll in the box


Really nice!!

Good Thursday Folks!

    1992 Walmart 30th Anniversary Star Special Limited Edition Barbie Doll


    I have progressed some how...remember THIS post about the Barbie's dolls I have found on my shed, well here is the fist one!

    She came in the box like this:

    picture from eBay
     She was dirty, but not in a bad condition...I washed her clothes and gave her a nice bath, she looked like new! I didn't feel comfortable to comb and "fix" the hair, so it's the same way as when I got her.






     So, one less to go!

    Good Tuesday folks!!

    Celebrity Monday - Lindsay Lohan

    Hello everyone, after a long vacation, meaning break from myself I guess, i came to say hi...Hi!!! Well, let's start all over again...hope to stay longer...


    I grew up up watching  a lot movies that Lindsay Lohan was in it, she was (and is) very good for a kid actress, despite all the "trouble" she got herself into (I'm not here to judge, but her bad behavior was for while the principal talking on the celebrity world) , she has done a awesome job on a lot movies out there.

    Folks, enough for  gossip!lol


    Lindsay Morgan Lohan[1] (/ˈl.ən/;[2] born Lindsay Dee Lohan; July 2, 1986) is an American actress, model and recording artist. She began her career as a child fashion model when she was three, and was later featured on the soap opera Another World for a year when she was 10. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsay_Lohan)
    There is not much to say about her, other than she has been in a lot of things on TV and has been in a lot of trouble as well, then my question...So, why Mattel would make a doll of her, again...we all make mistakes in our lives, but then I go and buy a doll, ask me how I'll explain to my kid that she's really famous because...she's a great actress, OK, done! (I actually think the doll was released before she got on the media for the bad reasons...I think the doll was released a little bit before all the mess, on 2005) then, the way kids are born these days, knowing more than you about everything!OK Google it and you'll find more "bad" that "good" pictures of her. Oh! Well, I'm going too deep on these thoughts, jeez I don't even have a kid yet ha ha I'll worry when time comes and talk about the doll...


    Ok, the doll was a part of the "My scene Goes Hollywood" set on 2005, back then she was "The mean girls" movie star, because she was the good soul in the movie, so it explained, i guess...

    I was not impressed by this doll, I guess it may be a OK "play doll", but not a good addition for my collection, I was never a fan of the "My scene" line and haven't ever bought any of them, so it may be the reason I didn't like that much this one, I don't like the big heads, i like the older molds, but well, Mattel has to follow the market, the competition and a variety of lovers, so after at all she's a OK doll!

    Have a good week, Folks! God Bless you!


    Happy Anyversary!!!
