New Arrivals

I received my Haut Monde, Stacey “Nite Lightning”, 2 Jazz Babies, 4 Sumatra and WaterColor Carrie.

All the dolls are beautiful except Carrie. she has a few tiny cracks on one of her shoulders, terrible face paint, I am not sure it’s a production defect or the previous owner ruined this doll. her smudged eye shadows made her look dirty & messy. I tried to clean it up, but I have never touched a Tonner Doll’s face before, and dont know what kind of color remover works best, it apparently the nail polish that works with cleaning Barbie’s face paint doesnt work well with Carrie’s. Fixing her face will be a time-consuming job.

Jazz Babies are pretty cute, I did not buy the Blonde —as I am not a fan of lara face. this Brunette & red-head twins will try out lots of my OOAK Dresses! I have been waiting for BC to put these Dolls on Sale, but they have not had. I then had to get them from eBay for cheaper.

I like Stacey’s face, but not her costumes & the TNT body. Maybe I’ll put her on a MM body.

I bought Sumatra Barbie b/c she is on sale, I wondered why she is not as popular as Diwali?! maybe her head is bigger than Diwali, BHS(big head Syndrome) is one of the things these serious Collectors Hate the most. I was okay with big-headed dolls, but then, under the influences of these collectors and the secondary market trends, I have decided to avoid big-heads

I also received a new Barbie Collector catalog, I have already had what I like to have, the rest just dont appear to be my “must-have”s. I can live without them.
