Millie's favorite scene of "The Bionic Woman" was when Jaime, the Bionic Woman, ordered her German Shepherd dog to "look out." The director actually showed the dog peering around the corner as if he were following her instructions. Seriously? Oh yeah. Granted, I'm biased towards cats, so maybe … maybe you can instruct dogs like that?

I'm leaving it to show the doll's appearance in a local Target store (for locals, this was taken at the South Philly Target).

You can read about her in this Barbie website <a href="https://forums.barbie.mattel.com/bablog/news/honoring-a-new-role-model-alex-morgan-barbie-shero-doll/?bid=1216782591&acid=487812287&uid=df5fff4d0bab033b1a06bd24684489ae01e393e72fcf19434943033bd552d492&utm_medium=email&utm_source=marketing&utm_campaign=BC-US-ECOM-ECOM-080420-AlexMorgan&email_source=MKT">post</a>. If you cannot find her near you, you can order her from Mattel. I have no interest in team sports. I don't find this doll attractive - she reminds me of a homelier <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine,_Duchess_of_Cambridge">Kate Middleton</a>, Duchess of Cambridge, doll by <a href="https://phillycollector.blogspot.com/2012/07/royalty-at-ross-dress-for-less.html">Arklu Ltd</a>.

Why Shannen? Actually, I like her fashion - I didn't initially because I did not like the bright blue-silver colors. I thought tans or pepper reds or warmer paletted fashions would suit this tawny-toned beauty. Removed from Shannen, the outfit became more attractive. The faux leather won't likely withstand frequent changes, but I can get some photos of other dolls wearing it - more on that at the end of the post. Here is Shannen.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shannen's outfit consists of a sky and cerulean blue marbled, long-sleeved top, a silver pleather quilted vest, and dark royal blue metallic pleather pants. I'm not a fan of pleather for myself, but I like it on dolls. The electric blue kill-me heeled sandals, the 3/4 silver "metal chain" belt, and the silver plastic cell phone complete her ensemble. I love that it isn't pink or purple or pastelled. Overall, I think it has an adult, club-going, electric image. (Also, not my style, but dolls can pull this look off.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Below, I attached one side of the 2005 Wave Fashionistas poster to a form a backdrop for this photo shoot. On that poster, to the right of Shannen's head, you'll notice a doll that probably was the prototype for Shannen. That doll has Shannen's complexion and possibly Shannen's vest and top, but that doll seems to have a different face mold. The poster doll's eyes look smaller and closer together than Shannen's and her lip color looks pinker than Shannen's peppery red lip color. I'm glad that Mattel produced Shannen with the Tango face mold and the coloring she has. I even like her hair color - and its silky texture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As did the two Christies I de-boxed before her, Shannen also has the Belly button Barbie body so her waist is a little wider than the Fashion Avenue faux suede skirt I like for her, based on its color. So I found something also from the Fashion Fever line for her to borrow: Fashion Fever Teresa's polka dot cotton halter dress.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I mentioned at the start of this post that I would find a more suitable doll to wear Shannen's original fashion. Here is my choice: 2007 Jazz Baby Cabaret <a href="https://barbie.mattel.com/shop/en-us/ba/barbie-jazz-baby-dolls/cabaret-dancer-barbie-doll-l6251">Barbie</a> aka Maud. She's waving the cell phone in these two photos. I like how the bright, metallic cool colors brighten and highlight Maud's pale complexion. I like how her shorter hair and darker, Goth-like makeup match the modern vibe of this fashion.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shasarignis generously sent me some of her lovely doll fashions. Newcomer BMR1959 Barbie wears a cool tank top from that doll fashion set. Please note the exclusive Barbie graphic shows Barbie and three of her Fashionistas friends PRINTED on the tank top. (Pause to squeal in excitement.) Barbie is pleased that she's modelling this particularly unique, one-of-a-kind fashion. "No one will have the same top as me," she told me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will be showing more of these fashions on my dolls and action figures. I'm waiting for the dust to settle because there's fussing about who should wear what, etc.The oversized pet carrier Barbie sits on was found in the Toy department of Big Lots! It held a "mini" stuffed rabbit that I am reserving for a child's room. The pet carrier will hold an over-sized doll dog. Dog-to-be-determined later.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shasarignis! Does anyone reading this post have <a href="https://shasarignis.blogspot.com/">Shasarignis</a> fashions they'd like to share? Include the url to your dolls wearing those fashions, and I will add the link in my follow-up post. </span>D7anahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-33857526256183179222020-07-05T12:11:00.001-04:002020-07-05T12:11:48.697-04:00Discovering BTS Via Mattel's BTS Idol Dolls, Part 2<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Alert: Mattel BTS J-Hope doll appearing to be "nude" is NOT nude. He has flesh-colored underpants molded on. My regular readers won't be triggered by "doll nudity," but for any new visitors offended by undressed dolls - who are anatomically abstract - you might want to skip this post. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For this post, I thought I'd show the Mattel BTS members with other dolls and action figures in my collection. Seeing them among familiar dolls and action figures can help you decide whether you'd like to purchase them. Or confirm that, no, they really aren't your taste.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So there I have shown 2 of the BTS members among different dolls and action figures. They can wear some Ken fashions and some Vivid Imaginations' fashions (the last 2 photos with J-Hope show him borrowing The Wanted Max's hoodie and pants) although the clothes are a little big for them. I'm going to go through my play scale fashions for better fits. Offhand, I think Takara Ken/Jeff fashions might work and some articulated Ken's clothes (The Young Sweethearts' Michael, Harley Davidson Kens, and similar rangy-built Kens) might also suit.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Any clothes suggestions welcome for these guys. Has anyone tried <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/hmzacharias/justin-bieber-dolls/">Justin Bieber</a> fashions on them?</span><br />

Sigh. I'd LOVE some of the fashions and footwear from that line, but I don't know if I'm willing to pay $49.99 each. Shrug. We'll see. Maybe Mattel will produce a third line of these dolls and then reduce the costs? Then again the Prestige line looks especially glamorous ....</span></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I first saw the <a href="https://shop.mattel.com/shop/SearchDisplay?categoryId=&storeId=10151&catalogId=10103&langId=-1&sType=SimpleSearch&resultCatEntryType=2&showResultsPage=true&searchSource=Q&pageView=&beginIndex=0&pageSize=36&reflectionEnableSwitchVal=&searchTerm=bts+dolls#facet:&productBeginIndex:0&orderBy:&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:&contentPageSize:&">BTS</a> dolls, I thought, "Not for me." I'm on the shady side of fifty. I don't know much about rap or hip hop except that I like Tupac Shakur's "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wBTdfAkqGU">California Love</a>." I don't collect Pullip dolls although I do have - or had - one <a href="https://phillycollector.blogspot.com/2010/01/meet-sharp-sonokong-doll-from-korea.html">Sharp</a> doll by Sonokong. Most significantly, I know zilch about the Korean language. So I'm not a likely buyer for dolls based on a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BTS">renown K-pop group</a>. Or am I?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fast forward a few months. I read on one of my doll-related Facebook groups that <a href="https://www.fivebelow.com/"><i>Five Below</i></a> is carrying the BTS dolls for $5.00 each. New Asian male faces in play scale plus budget price? I check a My Froggy Stuff <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xExjP9uTMqU">video</a>. Hmmm ... interesting. I check two re-dressing videos - one re-dressing BTS dolls <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs3iAfr76s4">V and Jungkook</a> and another re-dressing ALL of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSU1_2vjBJo">BTS members</a>. Wonder what they sound like? So I listen to and watch the videos "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwMa6gpoE9I">On</a>" and "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBuZEGYXA6E">Idol</a>." Hey, they're GOOD. I mean, I <b>love</b> the choreography and the strong beats. Next thing, I'm "just glancing" at the guys in various interviews. It doesn't hit me until I'm watching their 7 year anniversary <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9zPnWQIiuw">party</a>, but I'm smitten. BTS is adorable. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So am I hauling dolls, action figures, cat, two turtles and self to South Korea?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="h2_entry">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pause to consider. Nooooo ... I mean my family is here. I'm only getting on an airplane when the ground around me is ensconced in flames. I don't speak or understand the Korean language. I love my creature comforts. "Smitten" over 50 is not the same as "smitten" at say 16 or 20. Senior smitten means I'm gonna maybe buy some DVDs and/or create a YouTube playlist. I'm not attending any concerts - pause in horror at the idea of doing so even BEFORE the present Coronavirus nightmare - or vying with younger fans or about to become an - ahem - <a href="https://bts.fandom.com/wiki/ARMY">A.R.M.Y.</a> member. I will feel happy to have learned about them, long-distance fond of them, and so going to get the other BTS dolls. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="orth">C’est tout.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For Part 2 of this blog topic, I'll debox the BTS dolls I have and compare them with other dolls and action figures I have. Usually, I find dolls of real people and that's that. I like the new faces. This has to be the first time getting a doll series sparked interest in a musical group for me. Anyone else become a BTS fan - or fan of other artists - after a doll purchase?</span><br />

I am continuing the doll liberation <a href="https://phillycollector.blogspot.com/2019/10/liberating-2005-barbie-fashion-fever.html">project</a> initiated last October. The next doll to be freed from her box is Fashion Fever Christie from Wave U. Her outfit - at least the top - I don't like almost as much as I disliked the Benetton Christie's. The candy pink color with tepid purple ruched trim sleeves as well as the child-themed princess rendered this top totally unsuitable to a doll with her sophisticated dark lip color and streaked hair. Here she is in her original tube and re-dressed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">World Doll Day 2019 found me sorting through my dolls and accessories. You may remember that after I "got sick," some of my doll items went to my sister's house and others went to a storage unit. What happened next? I retrieved all items that went to my sister's house except my digital camera and some of the items from the storage unit. Eventually, I had to drop the storage unit: I couldn't keep up with the fees and I couldn't ask my family to do so. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Books and Research</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I know I lost most of my books - however, I do have a few doll magazines, doll box art, and other research like catalogs and old newsletters. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dolls and Action Figures</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I lost my childhood Malibu Sun Set Christie and her steady beau Hasbro The Defender (aka "Don America"). I know I lost Girls' Mission Mai and all three of my Lady's Mission dolls. Pause for mental scream of anguish. I doubt I would be able to get them again. Bye bye gynecologist, nun, and sunburnt athlete. But I've got the gynecologist's lab coat, maroon knit dress, silver pleather sandals, and I think her medical instruments. Pause to check ... alas, her silver plastic medical devices are not in her box. I have the box though and her dress, shoes, and lab coat. And a translucent lab test tube. Sigh.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also among the missing - YNU Group Rosa - both Rosas. Awwww ... but I probably can still get another Rosa. I have curly-haired Opal (yay, she was my preferred Opal!), Sunshine Houda, and Sunshine Emerald. Vampire-faced Barnabas Collins and his body and shirt and pants are gone. I do have his aged head and his "human" head as well as his cape both in his original box. So I can re-create him on other doll bodies - two other doll bodies, come to think of it. Exciting idea. My Mattel Diana Ross is gone. But I still have the melted butt Mego Diana Ross from my youth. While the Mattel Diana was prettier, I preferred the Mego Diana. She seems to loom over everyone, ha ha. I like her stare, too. My Jakks Pacific G.I.R.L. Force dolls seem to be missing. Sigh. But I might be able to replace Josie and Valleri; not sure about </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have my Momokos, most if not all of my Power Team guys, Mattel Elizabeth Taylor, 3 of my Get Set dolls (Vanessa, Isabella, and Fiona, yes! Alas, Gia is gone.) and enough of my favorites left that I won't let myself dwell on the lost ones. I'm alive, and I have many dolls. So, I'm satisfied. Life is good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/aAJicma2wPTtRsKN8">link</a> to some of my loose dolls.</span><br />

Found Elusive Mattel Black MtM Camping Fun Hiker Barbie<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a source for the elusive Mattel Black <a href="https://andersonsdollpurpose.tumblr.com/post/169574322216/new-aa-made-to-move-rock-climber-barbie-2018">Camping Fun Hiker Barbie</a>. This is the dark-skinned Made to Move doll. Well, for those enthusiasts capable of getting to a Pennsylvania suburb, I found her at the Glenolden Walmart this past Thursday. There were at least 2 other of that doll there. Possibly more in the store. They also had the Black Musician Barbie and the Black Beekeeper Barbie. I also saw ONE <a href="https://barbie.mattel.com/shop/en-us/ba/pop-culture-movies/barbie-laurie-hernandez-doll-fjh69">Laurie Hernandez Barbie</a> doll. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've taken photos, but I won't be able to upload them today. I thought to get the news out in case local Barbie enthusiasts had not found her yet. Good luck, all. </span>D7anahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-60021565451438886952018-08-21T22:28:00.001-04:002018-08-21T22:28:16.438-04:00Yes, I Have Fashion Fever Barbies and Others for Sale - Pending Project<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Someone asked if I still had Fashion Fever Barbies for sale. Yes, I do. These four are ones I'm selling mint and complete. I don't have prices for them yet because I might have to sell them through a second party. There are other Fashion Fever dolls - Holiday Barbie, Shannen, Christie, Drew - that I might sell also although I'll be keeping the fur stole from the Holiday Barbie and Drew's fur jacket and leather-lace mini skirt. </span><br />
