New Loot from Walmart...

I went back to Walmart for more items today....and they had some new Fashionistas on the shelves, but no more on sale! :(  😡  But I really went there for their new $8.88 furniture sets anyway. 

Here are some of the new Fashionistas!

No. 68 I found the most lovely with the silver hair, it looks like she has the Aphrodite sculpt, I could be wrong. 

Here are the new sets I got. 

All of these are beach / camping related! The little ski-do, kayak and beach chair with umbrella are wonderful. Can't help but think they will go great with my vintage Malibu country camper and my handmade picnic table. 

Barbie Fashionistas ....

So while waiting for my W Club registrations dolls to arrive, I have found the Barbie Fashionistas on sale for $5 at the local Walmarts. Some are on sale, some are not. I have to admit it has been fun being on the prowl for the hard to find curvy girls for my bargain price. I got these recent ladies....

These three I was able to snag at my local Walmart nearby for $5 each. I have to admit I love the tall 'Chandra' AA Barbie with red hair, she might get a made to move body if I can find one. And the two curvy ladies I think are really pretty, especially the one in the flowered dress. I have been wanting these two for while now. 

I had some fun posing them in my bakery this morning. The one I call Chandra with the red hair (she looks like the previous Target Barbie Basics with blonde hair in years past ) has met up with her new boyfriend Darrell. My favorite curvy girl in the flowered dress is going to be named Emily and is talking to Barbie who has breezed in with Poppy Parker. Tamara, the other curvy AA, is standing in the back patiently waiting to be served with her basket. She has to pick up pastries for the break room at the office. 

Today I picked up three more, only I stopped at my Walmart again. I picked up this tall girl for $5. 

I was hoping to pick up this other AA Curvy girl, but at my Walmart she wasn't on sale. :(. I still had to go run errands, so I stopped at another Walmart and found her and this hard to find Ken. ALL of their Fashionistas were $6.36.  

So, I picked up all three of these today...

And did this little photo shoot today with them.....

I have to admit, I wasn't really a fan of the new sculpts and body types at first. But when I put them into the dioramas, they add alot of realism to the population. My only problem with these dolls is some articulation would help them immensely. Standing there with their arms sticking out awkwardly by their sides doesn't help much if they can't bend their arms or position their legs, or sit. So they are useful for populating a diorama, but other dolls will have to work for sitting, etc. 

Mattel is listening, just not very well.
