I had high hopes for this repro, but after seeing her… oh my goodness, I’m flabbergasted. It doesn’t make sense why Mattel couldn’t do a better job replicating her screening from the original when they both share the same mold.

The new Clara doll looks like a cheap cosplayer. She may look better in person, but I don’t know. Hopefully, this is just a screening issue with this particular doll.

Then again, Mattel’s quality control doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

Hi everyone,
I recently pulled all of my Barbie movie dolls out of storage and decided to take pictures of my entire collection. I’m not sure how to upload videos here so for now here are some photos. 😄 I’ve been collecting since I was a teenager around 2017/2018. I’m now 27 and it’s my goal to collect as many Barbie movie dolls I possibly can. My whole life I’ve been a big Barbie girl and I grew up watching the movies. These movies mean so much to me! My favourite movie has to be Barbie as Rapunzel 🎨 and my favourite doll is Odette from Barbie of Swan Lake 🦢

Hope you enjoy! ☺️

Did I miss a drop?? What is this??

I just scored these at the thrift store for $35! The nurse was also in its box, only the 1996 Holiday doll was loose and somehow she still has her shoes on! No funky smells or stains on anything. I’m most excited about the Fashion Fever doll since I never had one before but I don’t know if I can bring myself to unbox her 😬 I think I happened upon these right after someone donated them. May we all get as lucky in the future!

I’ve done research to the extent with the little knowledge I have of all of Barbie’s many heads - I’ve come to the conclusion that possibly Marilyn Monroe is the closest to Madonna? But I truly am at a loss for which dolls would look best as them. I try navigating the site that lists the head sculpts but maybe I just can’t figure it out, but I can’t figure it out 😅

If you’ve seen my other posts, you’ll know why I’m looking for these two 🤭

Looks dolls no 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 rebodied onto Model Muse bodies. 

Only 14.99

She will never return to the Holiday red. 😆

I’m ecstatic! Happy heavenly birthday Marilyn!

Used a Millie sculpt to make this Kill Bill doll! My first ever Ooak, thinking of adding some blood for more realism. What do yall think?

I'm so happy I haven't seen these anywhere. I found the Millie back in July in Miami. To think I almost didn't come in

My grandma gave me “collector edition” Barbie’s for a few of the birthdays when I was between 5-8 years old. All I wanted was to play with them but my mom made me keep them in the box because they would “be worth something later”. Well… it feels like later, and I think they’re maybe worth like $15 or $30 each? Should I keep hold of them or let my daughter play with them and give her the gift to play with them.
Maybe I should just keep them in the box for another 30 years and pass on the generational guilt.

'Malibu Ken and Jeffrey' sounds like a new band.

Notes about this collection:
Ken should be wearing green shorts, and Lil Jeff is wearing a much better Ken outfit from, I think, 1979. He was wearing a cheap $2 "tuxedo" that they think we want so badly all the time (we do not).

Jeffrey is the sort of cheap clone who is hollow with a box so poorly made that his eyes are obscured by the unnecessary star supergraphics on the top. However, I was trying to matchi the stolen '70s fashion illustration on the lower left.

Honest truth? We couldn't do what we do without a heavy dose of creativity. Over the last 15 years, we’ve created a whole lineup of vibrant, original dolls, reimagining iconic designs in our own style.

Let’s be real: Barbie is pushing 100 and still looks flawless, so she’s definitely hiding a top-tier beauty routine. We decided it’s time for her to spill the tea!

Bright colors always look next-level under night lights. Imagine a doll that captures the whole vibe of a glittering, neon-lit city after dark—what would she look like?

David Bowie’s iconic track "Life on Mars?" goes hand in hand with his mind-blowing look from that era. And honestly? Sometimes we really do end up watching a pretty terrible show.

The legendary Jessica Rabbit in a new incarnation. We already talked about her in one of our posts. She's not that bad, she's just drawn that way.

by A&D Dolls

We are totally obsessed with Marilyn! You could spot her out of a crowd of a thousand. Honestly, who wouldn’t want to channel her vibe? And let’s be real—some people can absolutely pull it off!

by A&D Dolls

Who says she’s the main character? Ken’s out here serving ponytail looks too! Joke or not, he’s kind of pulling it off.

With so many holidays going on around the world right now, why not use it as an excuse to get all dressed up and go bold with your makeup? Trust us, nobody’s judging!

Thanks for reading this post!

We'd love to hear your comments!

Hugs! <3

Just a quick weekend get away. Meeting Renee and Teresa at the airport

water sprite barbie has been a long time grail of mine and she’s so beautiful i’m floored 🖤🖤🖤🖤

I had these two tiny little flowers from a pajama top and decided to give them to the Barbies for their outfits. (: 💗

I recognized this doll from an auction I saw a while a go that went for a good bit. Thought I would grab this n check her out.🤷🏻‍♂️ After some long research and education, she’s the “Talking Julia” doll but in the wrong outfit. In basically perfect condition except the voice box doesn’t make any noise when string is pulled. Came with a ton of vintage clothing pieces along with the other dolls. Thought I’d share this cool find.
