Spring has sprung, and Easter is right around the corner…we’ll just have to pretend the snow isn’t really there. And in celebration of Spring, and some Easter fun, we have a new look for the website. Photo credit for the beautiful doll photos used, go to annette29aag.

Disney ily 4EVER Dolls
Disney has come out with new Disney bounding dolls, dolls that are inspired by different Disney Princesses. Their outfits and accessories all feature details that let you know which Princess they’re a fan of and their outfits are inspired by. So far there are six dolls in the collection, each inspired by a different Princess (Tiana, Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, Ariel and Jasmine), and there is also a large assortment of not only fashion packs you can get, that also feature some of the other Princesses, but also accessory packs. Each doll also comes with a Mickey Mouse balloon, which has a surprise inside each one.
Disney x CreativeSoul
Disney has teamed up with the Black-owned business, CreativeSoul Photography, to come up with a special edition collection of reimagined Disney princesses, and what they would look like through a diverse lens. The dolls are based on the work of the founders of CreativeSoul Photography, Regis and Kahran Bethencourt. The dolls are their vision of Tiana, Snow White, Rapunzel and Cinderella, featuring natural hairstyles and intricate Afrocentric fabrics and accessories.
March Meeting!
It’s time for our March meeting! It’s on March 26th, at 1:30pm. Our meeting location is still TBD, but we’ll let you know where it will be as soon as possible, so keep checking back.
We’re hoping to see you there! And if you’re new here, and still debating if you want to go….please come, we would love to meet you, and I swear we don’t bite! Neither do the dolls.
My First Barbie
Mattel has come out with a new line of Barbies for kids. They’re called My First Barbie, but what’s different about them is that they’re actually a bit bigger than a normal Barbie. A normal Barbie is 11.5 inches tall, whereas the My First Barbies are 13.5 inches tall. The body of the dolls are now soft touch bodies, and they are meant to be easier for little hands to get them dressed and change their outfits. There are also a few fashion packs that are sold separately.
Monster High Skullector Elvira
Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark, now has her own Monster High Skullector doll, that was released on Friday the 13th in January. I was late to the news, and didn’t find out until later, but if you managed to get her, she’s definitely a fun doll go add to your collection. And the box display just adds to the fun (last picture).
Howliday Valentine’s Edition
Monster High have released another howliday edition doll, like the holiday themed Draculaura, but this time it’s a Valentine’s Day two pack of Cleo and Deuce. It features the more original looking monsters, as opposed to the new generation of them that you see in stores today. If you look closely, you’ll notice there’s even a skulette shaped box of…ahem, chocolates, that look like a spider web, scarab, and a coffin. And a Valentine’s Day card, saying Be My Creepy Valentine, to go along with the chocolates, flower and balloon. Now if that’s not monster love, then I don’t know what is…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day, to all the doll lovers out there!
I was going to share a cute doll related Valentine’s card, but I came across these and they were too cute not to share. If you haven’t heard of them, they are the Na! Na! Na! Surprise dolls, which are cloth dolls, or mostly cloth dolls, that are both printed and embroidered. These ones have a conversation hearts candy kind of theme. The collection is called Sweetest Hearts.
