Jef Beck of the Keeping Ken website is publishing a book on Ken. The expected publish date is March 13, 2011 which will be Ken's 50th Birthday. Exciting news, hmmm? Yes!
The 2011 Ken - well, one of them - seems to be wearing a dark gray suit - oh! real guy clothes for Ken, whee hooo! But he looks a little too soft for my taste. Mushy mouth. Shrug. And a lot like some of the recent Kens issued already.

On Clearance at Walmart - Liv Pet Dolls, Moxie Girlz, and Charlie's Angels Kellys
Regarding the Liv dolls with their pets - hmmmm ... not bad.
Regarding the Moxie dolls - pass. Accessories look cheesy. Not keen on the big heads either.
Regarding the Charlie's Angels Kellys - tsk. Not to be prudish, but they look "tarted up." And $29.88 doesn't strike me as a clearance price.
Why Mattel? Why Artsy Swapping' Stylin'?
Let me say first, that I do not understand the Mattel Fashionistas Swapping' Stylin' dolls. Bratz created a similar type of doll, but they had three head choices for one body. (I think anyway ;-D) Here, there is a doll with an exchange-able head-body.
Why, I ask. Why? There is only ONE doll with Artsy's body. So WHY, WHY, WHY is she on a Swapping' Stylin' body?
Unless, there is going to be a new Fashionista with whom Artsy can share her body.
P.S. What happened to re-dressing dolls?

Halloween Previews - Themed Dolls
Halloween-themed dolls are showing up at Targets, Kmart, and grocery stores. Yes, Barbie witches and the Twilight dolls are out. I am tempted by two of the Twilight dolls, Victoria and Alice. (God, I am tired of the ubiquitous smiling face blond Barbie witches. Can't Mattel find another face sculpt for the Halloween dolls?) If you are a fan, you might want to buy sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment. I haven't seen any of the Kelly Halloween bunch yet. Has anyone else?

NNnnnnnooooo! Petworks to Ship International? Can Our Budgets Stand This?!
I was researching something else when I came across this information. Is it a late April Fool's Day joke? Petworks to ship international.
Who would think it?
Ah but the timing ....

Thanks!
I have received friendly warnings from readers about threats to their computers IF they click on PhillyCollector. Sigh. It seems that my BlogRoll is the source. I'm removing Blogroll now until I find how to put it up without generating that awful message OR any damage to anyone's computer. Here's the link sent to me - in case you should see this problem elsewhere -
