Barbie Detangler/Twlight/ Wizard of Oz/Tonner
I saw the
Bye Bye Bad Hair Barbie Detangler in TRU a day or so ago. I wonder how well it works. I mean, it's one thing for it to fix hair that's just been fluffed up and "tangled" by am adult but it's another for it to get out the kind of tangles kids can work into them.
I also saw the Twilight dolls. Bella is a rather pretty, normal looking Barbie doll but Edward...oh boy. Uh, you know that fine, fine glitter they put on the Fairytopia Sparkle Fairies? The ones that had blue, purple and pink skintones? Yeah. Eddie's body is covered in that stuff to make him sparkle in the sun. The face they have given is pretty lackluster. The sad bit I figure is that they are kind of expensive. About $60 for the pair, which might be a bit steep for the tween fans.
I also saw that they have added a new Wizard of Oz character to the line up: The Wicked Witch of the East. The one that ended up dead under the house. You only see her stockings and shoes so they probably had free range with the design, I supose. She's actually kinda hot, in a witchy way.
Tonner has put out 2 Gone with the Wind dolls who are en-pointe and wear the costumes reimagined as ballet outfits. Lol wut? Edit: They also did a ballet Dorothy and witches from The Wizard of Oz. *covers eyes*
I'm not really keen on most Tonner dolls but they do have a collection called
Sinister Circus that looks AWSOME. I'm anxiously waiting for them to come out with full sized photos of the other couple dolls. I mean, DUDE! How often does a company come out with a suposed "hermaphrodite" or bearded lady doll? And what is that what are the "half animal, half human" dolls going to be like? The sad thing is that they are $200 US a pop and it's not like they could really sell them as basic dolls since the clothing is half the point.
