Maybe the lack of nice and decently priced and nice clothing is one of the reasons, why girls are giving up Barbie so soon nowadays. <br /><br />There are no fashion packs for poor Skipper, she is stuck in her stock clothes forever unless we sew her some to change.<br /><br />The Princess Power dolls look, like they have some superhero theme.

I...Andrea - The "Pick Me" is a cute idea. I haven't seen it recently though. Maybe it's "old fashioned" haha. I agree about the clothes, especially with Todd. He certainly can't wear Ken clothes right? I can't even find Skipper fashion packs anymore. Grr!<br /><br />Barbielea - Okay, I take back the "old fashioned" remark I said above. New dolls with this in-box pose? Yikes! Maybe it's because of the "Princess Power" theme? I am getting so aggravated at the lack of fashions for dolls now! It seems as though to get a really outstanding fashion you have to buy an entirely new doll. Part of the fun for me as a kid was getting ONE doll then a bunch of clothes for it. You know, hanging all the clothes on little hangers and such. What's the deal now? And poor Todd, no clothing choices for him it seems!<br /><br />I do have to ask, why is the new Playline called "Princess Power"? To me it sounds too much like She-Ra, Princess OF Power. I guess that is a little before the time of girls now though, ha!

This line, the "Sharin Sisters" had clothes that were cleverly designed to be shared by the different size dolls. I find that usually, the modern Chelsea size dolls can wear Shelly/ Kelly size clothes but as I don't have any Stacey dolls I've never experimented much with them. <br /><br />I do have a Tod, and I love him. I'd use him a lot more if I had some nice clothes and shoes for him - I suppose I could make the clothes but shoes are really tough - even if I could find some to fit they would probably be from a girl doll so they wouldn't suit him :( I have him in a pair of orange boots at the moment, I don't even know what doll they're from. They don't fit all that well. I'd love to find him something better. <br /><br />Congrats on you Newbie BTW! She looks so great in that box - the steps!! <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137499729425715878.post-11149610547296430602015-02-10T00:29:48.754-08:002015-02-10T00:29:48.754-08:00Congrats on these two lovely girls. The one arm up...Congrats on these two lovely girls. The one arm up looks weired on some dolls, I agree. That's probably meant as a wave to the kids "Pick Me", lol.<br /><br />Both cuties reside here as well. I was just getting back into collecting Barbie, when the McD sets were released and I got the first Stacie a little later on a fleamarket, deboxed but complete.<br /><br />My only pet peeve with Stacie and Todd is the fact that there are close to none clothing sets for them. What did Mattel think? Even Kelly had a extensive wardrobe to chose from.Andreanoreply@blogger.com
