2016 articulated Barbie

[maywong]

I bought the brunette MtM- love her! A couple of slight rough spots at joins and edges, but not bad.
Rivka demonstrates that they *can* stand on their own, however briefly:

A few other quick shots, with more to come if anyone has suggestions:

Where did you buy her from?

Okay, I want one, but the feet are still absurd. Maybe I could bulk them up with epoxy. :]

I wonder if this body will take other feet...

Amazon. They were popping in and out of stock for a few days at original price. Don't know if they're still available for that, or if they're currently at reseller prices.

With Amazon just check back at odd hours and you'll catch their price. Check Mattel's online store too.

Yes, I'm hoping I can beat the freaking scalpers to them the next time they're in stock. $40, really?

Have added some pictures to my PB album of Rivka wearing a few different types of clothing- a Fashion Avenue outfit, a couple of recent Barbie pieces, a Kari Michel outfit and a set of [s]those cheap little outfits Wal-Mart's been carrying[/s] Sparkle Girlz.

Also, word has it now that Asha will be a Target exclusive. Not sure what that will mean for international buyers- do any non-US chains pick up Target exclusives?

If you can wait until next year that's also an option. In a month or so all the Monsters I order on line turn up at the stores for regular prices. It's toy season so people will buy stupid sh*t like a $150 unarticulated 'designer' Barbie.

Or put the word out you'd like one if someone picks up an extra.

Eh, I'm patient. It's just rare that I get a chance to grab something cool early on. (And yeah, I could think of a *lot* of dolly fun that Moschino's $150 price tag could bring....)

Yeah, I'm thinking of putting this more on 'birthday' list (May) than xmas, so as to avoid the price mess. They're not some limited edition thing, right? So the prices should stabilize and go down after holidays.

You can use camelcamelcamel.com (or .co.uk etc) to track Amazon's prices. Sign up and you'll get an email when the price drops below your specified price.

Personally I'm waiting until they've arrived in brick-and-mortar stores AND gone on sale to stock up on a few. So a few months, probably. XD Not sure how I'll get Asha if she's Target exclusive, though. We hardly ever seem to get the AA dolls as it is. :/

From what I've seen the limbs come apart at the thigh and upper arm joints (and also feet and wrists? I think someone said so at least but haven't seen a photo). Wish the thigh joint had smooth edges like the upper arm joint. Agree the feet look pretty damn tiny, but that means older shoes will still fit (assuming this body has the same feet as the 2015 articulated ankle body).

I see that these dolls are turning up at TRU. Some people are buying them there. Unfortunately they have not shown up at my store yet. Wahhhhh!
