I really like Barbie Fashionista 107’s silver hair and side cut, but what I do not like is that her outfit is peak chud. Luckily some new clothes arrived in the mail today and going with the theme ‘if you can’t be fashionable, be bold’ I did a switch. Results varied photo wise, but in person she’s now a desk display barbie until the next turn over instead of in the box of shame.
This had to goShe looks nice in person but I am physically unable to get a photo where she doesn’t look like some sort of evil gremlinBegone
Toys are a form of media! I should put up my vinyl toys sometime with glamour shots. To at least remember their line names.
The 2021 Fashionistas are pretty great. I’ve already gotten most of what I want in the wave, with just Kens 167, 163, and 162 left that are on their way. Mostly I use them as stand-in action figures for the stories I write because for some weird reason a lot of the fashionistas look a lot like characters I’ve created and I don’t really object, you know? It’s fun.
Anyway, here’s what I got of this wave so far:
156! She was going to be my new Molly Blackwell (blue lipstick!) but turned out to be too tall. Long will reign original Molly Blackwell.The first one to arrive and already secluded off to a safe place to stand and a previous wave fashionista who’s just adorable. I really like the purple hair on 157. It’s really pleasing in person.161! I don’t really have anyone in mind for her, but I find her pleasing.164 looks so guileless. It’s not present in this photo but he has these really great sweat pants with stars on them I want in real life. He stands like a champ.I HAD to have this one when I saw her hair. What a beauty! 166 is probably my favourite of the ones I’ll be getting of this line.The whole gang! 166, 156, 161, and 164 are really lovely. My dad made fun of their fashion but the man wears a boater hat when he thinks he’s getting away with it.
Also, pleasingly, these Barbies have some neat new packaging! They come in basically really big pencil cases which I will definitely be getting more use out of in the future.
