Ack! Missing Two of the Smartees, Not One!
I used the Internet Wayback Machine to search for Smartees dolls. How many there were, etc. Well, I thought I had all but one, Alexis the Artist. Nuh uh. I also don't have Madison the Marine Biologist.
A cool feature on this page is that if you click on the doll, you can see her accessories, etc.
So that's two more dolls on my Want List.
Shrug. Whatever, right?

Happy Birthday, Barbie!
Alas, I have nooo interesting photos for Barbie's birthday.
I have an idea about one, but I haven't been able to set it up yet. However, I did not want Barbie's "day" to go by unaddressed.
Oh and don't forget that Barbie Collectibles has a sale - 25% off online items - if bought before midnight Central Time. Happy buying to those who can do so.

Spin Master Liv Dolls Spring and Fall 2010 Previews

This photo shows two of the new Spin Master Liv fashions I saw in Target today.
Remember how I mentioned "downsizing"? Remember how I didn't have any interest in the Liv dolls because their heads are too big? Well, downsizing has become even more important now that I have seen the Liv offerings for 2010. Even if I will probably replace the heads. But LivWorld stuff is now on my unofficial Want List.
[Note: for those who need a refresher about who the Liv dolls are, please refer to this post by Charles of DollStuff.]
Toronto-based Spin Master has some impressive accessories lined up for this Spring and Fall. Think of a drum set for Daniela, a store window to be dressed by Alexis, a horse, a new doll called Hayden with her adorable bunny, and did I mention cool fashions? But I'll let the Toy Fair photos on Flickr show how this line has enchanted me.
Additional information can be found on the Liv blog. Yes, the Liv dolls have inspired a blog. Whhooo hooo!

Poll: Which Ken Wears the Coolest Jeans?
Okay, I have been a little catty/critical about Mattel Ken fashions. A Ken collector on the Yahoo He's a Doll Group found the Fashionista Ken's skinny jeans good clothing. I have to agree with him (and yes, this is still Dana aka D7ana). So I started thinking, surely Fashionista Ken isn't the only Ken who wears neat jeans. Next thing, I am gathering my jeans wearing Kens for a new poll.
Which Ken wears the coolest jeans?

Contestants include from left to right:
1 Modern Circle Ken in Daywear
Fashionista Ken
Harley Davidson Ken 1
Harley Davidson Ken 2
The actual poll will be in the right-hand column. Thanks for voting.

Integrity 2010 Lines Unveiled - Link
Doll collector and photographer Shuga-Shug has photos and posts about the Integrity Toys 2010 line.

Love Staying Power Darius Reid - he has a warm brown complexion, attractive dark suit, and an antique looking leather bag that seems to have been shrunk to 1:6 scale. Fire Within Jordan looks great, too. Real leather dress gloves. Private Goddess Natalia Fatale is another stunner, only I have the 2008 Natalia so - pre-purchase downsizing in place ;-D - I won't try for her.
I.T.B.E. Luscious and Romantic look gorgeous as well. Dynamite Girls Sooki and Reese are on my wish list. Sooki has curly blonde hair while Reese seems to have a new face mold.
Sigh. Possible new Mixis, new Integrity, and as always, new Mattel dolls.

Mixis Connections: FaceBook, Twitter, and Blog
2010 and what is happening with the Mixis dolls and YNU Group, Inc.? One goal for YNU Group, Inc. is to promote the Mixis brand. Do you want to connect to the Mixis social sites to help the company reach their goal? Debbie Goodland, President and Founder of the YNU Group, Inc., sent these Mixis-related links:

Perhaps you have bought all the Mixis dolls that you wanted. No new dolls at the official web site ... no Toy Fair News. Lots of other dolls beckon. Ah, but what about the future? Click the link and ooohhh and ahhhhh. Surely spending a little time online with the social media is worth seeing those dolls in the vinyl.
