One of my favorite sources for Toy Fair information is Asmzine. They have been covering the Toy Fair since 2000. They have photos of the Mattel Barbie dolls and setting.

As the week progresses, they may have information about the Integrity lines, too.

WebShots PhotoAlbums
I have an account at WebShots that I am going to tie-in with this blog. I will be able to reduce the photo space I use on Flickr/Blogspot for my posts here. That space reduction would reduce my load time, too. I'll see if I can include that WebShots account here tonight or tomorrow morning.

Discarding Boxes or the Unromantic Side of Collecting NRFB
Most of today, I spent discarding boxes after cutting away doll photos on some or removing accessories to be kept or to be donated/sold. Man somebody will end up with a heap of plastic doll brushes. LOL. Whew. I rather regret NOT deboxing the figures sooner. But it is good to be doing this now and separating the things I will not keep into donate or sell piles. If I can increase DAF buying funds, that would be great.
It's also been fun to see what I have. I find nice surprises, Oh, I did get that one? That sort of thing. Also experiencing a lot of, Oh, no this one looks like that one except the outfit differs. (You guess correctly if you think Fashion Fever Barbie ;-P)
Finally, this deboxing exercise is good because it allows me more room. More room to show the DAFs I have and more room for new ones to come in.
Heh heh ... the ulterior motive.

Get Set Club and JEM Doll Bodies
I owe this post idea to ModernWizard who asked if the Get Set dolls had the Jem body. I didn't think that the bodies were the same because the Jem body would have existed when the Get Set dolls appeared. Jennifer Baker, the creator of the Get Set dolls, described in the City Paper article - City Paper article
- that she had to have the dolls sent back to the factory to have the nipples reduced and other details for a new doll body she wanted for the Get Set dolls.
However, various molds for Kenner Darci dolls were later used for Hasbro Jem dolls. (See the Aunt Darcie link under Aunt Darcie tab
) So doll molds HAVE crossed companies before. Here's my chance for an investigation. Conclusion? Drum roll ....
The Get Set Club dolls do not have the same body as Jem dolls.
Fiona of the Get Set Club and Aja from the Holograms volunteered to illustrate.
Aja has a taller body and a slightly larger head.
Aja torso close up.
Fiona torso close up.
Aja's and Fiona's upper half. Aja has smaller breasts and a more narrow torso than Fiona. Fiona has nipples. Both dolls have defined belly buttons (innies).
Aja has a more narrow crotch, and her legs are closer together. Aja's legs are slightly longer than Fiona's.
Fiona has a larger derrierre.
The feet are roughly the same size, but Aja has a higher instep. Fiona's feet are more detailed; they have painted toenails.
Fiona's inner and outer ankles are both defined. Aja's outer ankles only protrude.
