L.A.Girl Fashionista and Others Seen at Walmart - Ms. Leo Alert
Another photo post that is short on text. L.A. Girl Fashionista with the Skipper-face.
2nd Skipper-faced Fashionista with light blue eyes, auburn hair, and a tan complexion.
For Ms. Leo - the AA Fashionista with the beauty mark.
LA girl has been popular and hard to find for a while. She is available again (after selling out) on the Mattel site for those who don't find her at their Walmart. She was a pass for me. The face is too young and the stiff body is useless. I like seeing what others do with her, though.
Initially, I was excited to see the new line and I'm still really impressed with diversity but the stiff body was a complete turn off. It's too much to rebody a play line with a playlist articulated body. :-/. I have reconsidered the LA Girl though, just because I think she'd be an interesting background character to have. The AA beauty make is pretty in photos but in person, at least in my opinion, her screening was very cartoonish. Well...actually, they all are a bit cartoonish but still very cute.
Hopefully, while I'm out next week...I can grab the LA Girl without having to pay for shipping. :)
I would like to see L.A. Barbie appear in my part of our country, nothing yet, but in the French speaking part she is available apparently. I should move ;-).
Hi Carrickters, Roville, Robotica, Tracy India, The Grandmommy, Linda - Darkroom Dolls, Ms. Leo, and Billa's Dolls and Fashions. Thanks for your comments. I hope that you are able to get the dolls you want without having to pay postage - you get to choose the particular doll you want then. I understand how you might pass on some of these ;-)
Ms. Leo - see the first Walmart on Roosevelt Boulevard. 4600 Roosevelt Blvd Bldg G Phila, PA 19124.
I Got Her! LA Girl was in the back of the aisle hiding...like she was waiting for me...or maybe you put her there for me! Anyway....Thanks for the heads-up! XOXO

Cute faces and even the fashions aren't too bad. Pity the bodies are so stiff.

Mattel seems to be recycling faces. Interesting.

Good post...
Cute heads if you want to rebody. I only buy cheap dolls with great faces to rebody now.

Which Walmart? I need her!
These new fashionista's are so cute, I haven't seen any of them here yet. And I check one of the biggest toy stores in town weekly!

Congratulations! Yes, she was in the back when I saw her. So glad you were able to get her. It was meant to be ;-)
As much as I dislike Skipper, I don't even see her when I look at LA Girl, so I'd still like to have her one day.
Hi Muff!
I don't see Skipper in LA Girl either. I look forward to getting her one day, too.
I hope you get her soon ;-)
I've been seeing this doll. She's not exactly on my list of must haves, but she is cute.
Hi Jaye! I like this doll, too. She's on my Wish List ;-) -- but I'm not rushing for her.
