you never know what's inside
I have always been a fan of the Generation Girl Series but until now I had none of them. Yesterday I got the first of my Generation Girls. She’s called Susie and the european Version of Generation Girl Tori. I like her since she reminds me on the fashion and the feeling from then. Obviously the Generation Girl Tori was made for the whole european market and not only for Spain and Portugal.
About two months ago I found a Todd from the 1970s and now I have also a modern Todd from the 1990s. He is included in the Dream Wedding gift set from TRU from 1993.
Since I had no time to post new articles in the last weeks, I wanna show several new dolls that have arrived in the last weeks. The first one is the Camp Fun Barbie Deluxe set. I got it from another collector who bought her in Italy in the mid 1990s. I have never seen this set before and so I thought it could be interesting for other collectos.
Today I finished the Beauty Secrets Barbie doll that I found on the flea market several weeks ago. Her hair was in such a bad condition that I immediately decided to do a reroot. Last weekend I finally found the time to do it. So here is the result.
To complete my favorite series from Skipper doll and her friend Courtney I was searching for the last Courtney to complete my collection. A few days ago I got an offer for the Courtney and I bought her. So here she comes… Phone Fun Courtney from 1995. Now she can phone Skipper. I bought the Skipper back in 1995 when she was available. I deboxed my Skipper but I never really played with her.
I was asked serveral weeks ago to show my new birthday present doll – the Billion of Dreams Barbie (not the Generation of Dreams Barbie). So here she comes in pictures. I waited for her more than 10 years.
Last Sunday I was on a flea market and found a Beatuy Secrets Barbie doll with a lot of missing hair. Today I prepared the head for new hair. I cut the existing hair and put the rest out with several tools. Here is the result. The head is bold. Next step ist waiting for the new hair to arrive.
After a long journey the Totally Yoyo Nikki doll has finally arrived here. She has completed my favorite Teen Skipper series. Now that I have the whole Totally Yoyo series I want to show them to you. The first one from this series that I bought was the Totally Yoyo Skipper in 2008. Suddenly in May 2011 the other two were offered and I bought them. Courtney arrived here about three weeks ago and Nikki arrived here yesterday. An interesting fact to know is that the Nikki doll from the promo pics were a short skirt but obviously it was replaced by the same skirt Courtney wears only in different colors.
Today I wanna show you another part from my Teen Skipper collection.The difference between the Skipper dolls from before 1996 and the ones produced in 1996 is that the Teen Skipper has the same size like Barbie. Before 1996 they were smaller than Barbie dolls. Maybe this was an attempt to make Skipper more interesting for little girls. Her friend Courtney, who was a brunette til 1996, became a redhaired friend later. Skipper also got a new friend called Nikki(aa – doll).
Very interesting to know is that there is a difference in the facial painting between the Courtney made for the european Market and the US Market. I gonna make a picture for comparison in the next days.
