Seen at Target - Halloween Chelsea and Others

I stopped in a Target the other day. Three Halloween Chelseas, 4 of the five Fifth Harmony dolls, and some other dolls were out.


These are the 2015 Halloween Chelseas. Remember, they are only available at Target (and on the secondary markets). What I find interesting is that the suntanned Chelsea is a ghost while the palest Chelsea is a pumpkin. I would have thought that the palest doll would be the ghost. Then again the white satiny dress contrasts nicely against a tanned complexion, and the orange brightens the paler complexion. Junior-fashionistas-in-the-making!

Were I in the mood for buying now, I would buy the Pumpkin and the Ghost Chelseas. Oh heck, the redhead is cute, too. I love all their coloring. Wonder if they have any Black Halloween Chelseas? I remember Mattel did for Kelly, but I'm not sure about Chelsea. Is the black-haired Chelsea Asian? Hmmm ....
Next, I saw Barbie and her other two sisters appear in a Great Puppy Adventure gift set. I would like Skipper's dress - sunflowers on a dark background, but I don't like how the edges are finished.







I almost like this single Skipper doll's outfit - a dark tee shirt and denim jeans. If the pants didn't have the rips. I like fringe, but rips look sloppy to me. This Skipper has lilac eyes. Pass.









Rock n Royals band member. She's very pale like the Pumpkin Chelsea. Blue streaked hair with one side cut shorter. The short hair cut differs from the overflowing tresses most fashion dolls wear. Hmmm ... Rachelle face mold? The doll I saw has an odd look to her vinyl/plastic that reminds me of cheaper dolls. A waxy look.
            




I saw most of the Fifth Harmony dolls. Yay! Now I've decided, I just want Ally from this set. Why? The others look too much like other dolls I either have or have seen. Unless I come across a doll with vastly different face screening, I can pass. Good for my wallet, yes? Yes!

Same doll aisle, different manufacturer: a new Disney line, Descendants, rendered by Hasbro. The Descendants are the children of Disney heroes and villains. There are four female characters and two male: Mal, Evie, Jane, Lonnie, Ben, and Carlos. I like the articulated bodies, but I'd have to sell the big heads.

More new bodies! Yippee! I LOVE new body options. These are the Project MC2 dolls by MGA Entertainment. If you'd like to see a comparison of these bodies along some other articulated doll bodies, I suggest you check Picklepud's Flickr site. The Doll Circle offers a YouTube video that has a brief comparison of the Project MC2 dolls to SpinMaster Liv dolls and the quality of the dolls.

    Unfortunately, extremely ripped jeans are fashionable right now.

    I saw some of the Fifth Harmony dolls at TRU a while back, but I haven't seen them at Target.

    Hello from Spain: I see so many beautiful toys in the store in your city. There are many new features. I really like Harmony dolls. Keep in touch.

    Thanks for the dolly update. I like the Halloween dolls, but I don't like that the costumes are half painted on. I also like ripped jeans, but not the way they did those. The rips aren't quite right on these jeans. Placement and size are all wrong.

    Great dolls, especially the Harmony dolls! I like the MC² dolls too, I hope they will be for sale here soon too, I'm very curious to see how they are in person.

    Wow, your Target seems to have a lot of dolls. I have never seen the Harmony dolls there. Nice update! Thanks D7ana!

    Great update - nice to see what dolls are available to you. I too would like to see the MC dolls in real life, maybe we'll get them for Christmas.

    The Rock & Royals dolls all have that waxy cheap plastic look. There was another recent Barbie line with neon hair and the same look -- possibly a knock-off Barbie-specific comic book superhero line? It makes me want to put some colored streaks in my Dollar Tree Beauties' hair.

    Oh my, I wish the Fifth Harmony dolls had been articulated. I really like the face-ups.

    Hi Smaller Places! Ahhh ... a line to avoid, lol.

    Alas, I would have LOVED an articulated Ally ;-) Someday ....

    LOL, I don't know why but I thought this was a all Halloween doll post. I got excited at thinking they had made a Fifth Harmony Halloween line. That might interest me.

    Hi Muff! That would be cool. A musical group dressed in Halloween get up ;-)
