February was a slow month: only two Barbies and two Momokos. The dolls are Mattel's Top Model Nikki and Top Model Nikki Hair Wear and Sekiguchi's Go for Victory Momoko and Sweet Poodle Momoko both from the Winter 2006 line up.

2008 Dolls by Month - February
February was a slow month: only two Barbies and two Momokos. The dolls are Mattel's Top Model Nikki and Top Model Nikki Hair Wear and Sekiguchi's Go for Victory Momoko and Sweet Poodle Momoko both from the Winter 2006 line up.
2008 Dolls by Month - January
To close out the 2008 doll and action figure buying year, I'll post a photo or two of the dolls bought/received this year by month. The first new doll of 2008 was Sekiguchi's Wake Up Momoko 2 or Daphne (her East Philly name).

Value City (Cheltenham Avenue) Closing Sale
The Value City Department Store on Cheltenham Avenue is closing. Barbie dolls that are on sale -- 30% off -- include:
Top Model Barbie, Summer, and Teresa -- the Resort and the Hair Wear issues
Mary Poppins, Bert, Jane and Michael
Titanic Barbie
Festivals of the World Barbie -- Irish Dance
I got the Bert doll. Out of the ice cream man suit - white pants, white shirt, orange-red stripes on white jacket, sky blue socks and white plastic loafers -- he could be a jolly school principal. I'll save the suit for a character playing an ice cream man.
Well. I'm not crying. In spite of the dirgy holiday songs that played while I shopped. (Dirgy music is any holiday song by Robert Goulet, Harry Connick Jr., that -- shudder -- sound.) I got some great deals at this Value City store over the years from the White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor doll at $9.99 to the elusive Flavas Awards series (Tre and Liam who came with wigs!) at $3.99 each. It is sad to see this store close. Especially since the K B Toys in the Cheltenham Square Mall closed a few years ago. So the only toy spot in that immediate area is Burlington Coat Factory.
Target will be coming to the Cheltenham Square Mall. Now Target does have a toy department, but I don't think that they would ever have anything like the Flavas Awards dolls. So I'll miss Value City for that. Thanks Value City.

Liberating the Masses or the Power Team
I've opened all of my Power Team guys except Farmer Miles (aka the World Peacekeepers Trailwalker with donkey) and one guy I might not keep. I love their realistic faces and their poseable bodies. I'll take more photos of them tomorrow; not enough time to do more than trot out this one:

!!! Mixis Clearance at Nice n Necessary !!!
The Mixis dolls are on clearance sale for $37.49 CDN + shipping each doll at Nice N Necessary (www.nicennecessary.com ). You can place an order online if you are shipping within Canada. If you would like to order from outside Canada, please contact Jackie Norman at info@nicennecessary.com for shipping information.
I have the Limited Edition Emerald, Opal, and Rosa and the Sunset Houda, but I would like to add the Sunset Opal with curly hair and possibly the Sunset Emerald and Sunset Rosa because the Sunset dolls have the jointed arms and prettier torso. Ms. Norman's comment about these dolls is available at http://forums.about.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?msg=9075.2&nav=messages&webtag=ab-collectdolls
Good luck!

Harley Davidson Barbie 2009
Mattel -- you gotta stop doing this to me, to the doll collecting public.
New Harley Davidson Barbie shown at the photo link below from Maddie's Dolls in Canada:

Although on second thought, I have a few Fashion Fever dolls that resemble this one. Their hair isn't quite so "big," but the face screening is close. Not sure if I like the pink chaps either. Hmmmm ....
