![]() A nice pink strapless bra and simple panties. Her feet are mostly proportionate, meaning the stardoll feet are much larger than Barbie's hooves and she has moulded and painted underwear. The hands and feet are particularly graceful with painted nails and beautifully curved fingers. ![]() It's a nicely sculpted body, i'll give it that. Had the bag just had a proper straight strap it would have been a really cute little accessory but as it is it's pretty much useless except as set dressing for "messy room" photos. It's the shape of a bag when it's ON THE FLOOR now when it's being held or worn by a person. ![]() The folded up strap is what my bag does when I fling it across the hall as I enter the house. Surely a long strap like that you'd wear satchel style? Or have a short strap for holding. It's cute and all, but it's a solid chunk of plastic that doesn't open (this I can tolerate) and the strap is freaking MOULDED into a curled shape so it can't actually be held in a way that doesn't look stupid. She also comes with a bag with flowers on it. Her outfit consists of a pair of black strappy heels, knee high semi opaque stockings with splotches on them (I dunno what they're meant to be, someone got sloppy with some bleach?), denim shorts, a grey singlet top and a blue striped cardi/jacket. Her hair is rooted without a clear parting at the front which makes it look a bit sloppy to me. Crappy bodies are unacceptable) but hey, better late than never huh? I never reviewed the first few I got (I got them on clearance! No way was I paying full price no matter how pretty the face and clothes. ![]() It was a really dumb move and made these super expensive dolls little more than mannequins, not dolls.Even 1959 fucking Barbie had better articulation! Instead she would have a frozen body with completely static legs that couldn't even move at the hips.īeing unable to sit a doll is absolutely crippling to play. for reasons known ONLY to Mattel, they decided this new fashion doll didn't need to be able to sit. Of course the final nail in the coffin was the dolls themselves. The fashion packs were an eye watering £16:99 (the same price as a monster high doll, wth?) In the US, Stardolls were retailing about $21, here in the UK? £23. Now, the second nail in the coffin was price. This was, understandably, very very frustrating. Well, less than that actually because it seems no argos ever got the second Bonjour Bijou or Pretty 'n' love dolls. There were 2 dolls for each theme, but argos being argos, they never bothered to split them so you had a 50/50 chance of getting the one you wanted. doll space? (again no clue what links them) Fallen Angel (the gothy looking ones), Bonjour Bijou (I have no idea what links them.), Pretty 'n' love (um. In Stardoll's case they split them by their "theme" This involves a lot of waiting around and a lot of repeat trips trying to find the ONE in any line you're trying to find, because they don't bother to split assortments by character, ooooh nooo. Now Argos is a nightmare for exclusive lines, mostly because being a catalogue store you cannot SEE the product on a shelf, you only see a promo photo in a catalogue and either have to buy blind, or queue up and hope they'll allow you to view before you buy. Argos was the only retailer to bother to carry them (tru started to get them in later, but muuuuch later when they were already a dead line). Now, the UK stock of Stardolls was the first nail in their coffin in this country. I wanted her clothes damnit, did from the moment I set eyes on her (she's the one in the blue jacket and the shorts in that image above) but I never saw her in the UK. ![]() Knowing Stardoll clothing fits Barbie and similar dolls, I sent husband to go look for the one I never found when they were in Argos. I got a few of these when they first came out, but TRU has a huge sale on right now so they've ransacked their warehouse and found a lot of really oddly old stock to put out on shelves for pretty cheap. Ultimately, they didn't sell as well as hoped and disappeared off to failed doll line heaven. Unfortunately however, there were a few problems. The starting lineup featured 8 dolls, all in mix and match fashions with unique shoe sculpts and a range of skin tones, face moulds and hair colours. ![]()
