New dolls on sale at Walmart

I was recently in Walmart and they are putting alot of their old stock fashion dolls on sale- so if you are shopping there, now is the time to scarf up on some deals. 

 I was able to pick up two dolls from Rainbow High and Fresh Squad for $112 and $5- ridiculous prices! 


Fresh Squad guy was about $5 - I have been watching this well made articulated guy for a while now. At one time I almost picked him up at $7 and $9 at different times and held off. I did not resist this time because I know re-sellers come in and scarf up these dolls and list them on ebay and other platforms for Christmas. The Junior Rainbow High doll in the bunny pajama outfit I had wanted but I did not want to pay $20 for- she was marked down to $12- and she was the last one on the shelf at my local Walmart. I decided to go ahead and pick her up, she is so cute. 

Here are the photos below-

















Here are the ones of the Junior Rainbow High Pajama Party 



















Enjoy!

Simply Gene Blue Bathing Suit

I recently received Ashton-Drake new in the box, 'Simply Gene' in the blue bathing suit yesterday. I found her on Poshmark in her original box with all of her paperwork, stand, etc. for a reasonable price. I already have Simply Gene in the pink bathing suit, I am attempting to acquire the rest of them- the yellow , lavender and black bathing beauties. These were some of the most wonderful dolls Mel Odom designed. 











While looking at the box, you get an idea of how carefully someone really took care of their dolls. This box even had the original sticker that sealed the tissue paper, and the original sticker from the original dealer the owner had purchased the doll from! Her paperwork had never been removed and neither had the doll been untied from her strings in the box! Such a treasure!



Here she is above with her sister redhead Gene, in their matching bathing suits. 









I love how they look so well with Trent in his tuxedo- this is a photo op I have wanted to do for a while now. May evolve more with more props later on. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays 2011 Barbie

Happy Holidays 2011 Barbie arrived today and she is one of the more lovely ones, I think, in the holiday line. I was lucky enough to find her at a really good price- she was out of the box , her hair , jewelry, shoes, intact and she came with her hairbrush, but no stand. I have a ton of stands in my stash, so that was not a problem. Purchasing dolls from someone else's collection that have been on display isn't a problem for me, if they are in good condition, and have most of their accessories. 









I think this green and gold gown with the embroidery and the rhinestones is just fabulous. It has an overskirt that flares out behind her, with a gold lame underskirt and matches the gold embroidery on the green silk. The fabrics on this gown are dazzling. 








Here she is again by the table and Christmas tree, and with her brush. 
And now, photos with her previous Holiday sisters who arrived  before her...
