 OK, so might be a bit early for this but mine came yesterday and... yes I opened it! I found mine on Amazon UK £19.99. I love the artwork, but not but not very winter/Christmasy? Now as it says on the box you can get 2, 3 or 4 babies in the box... I only got two! There are 30 items shown on the box including six dolls.  Some are new items but most are from other collections.  Definitely a beach vibe. New items are the three pairs of sun glasses, beach towel, Fur heart, and the fluffy cloud is bigger than the one that came with the Valentine sets.  Then there is the umbrella that came in the pool set...well we get the umbrella but not the pool? I guess you can lay the baby on the towel and use it that way?

My Mini Baby Mum (Mom)

She has just arrived, I have ordered all three but only the blonde is out in UK. I brought mine from Smyths £19.99 and have the other two ordered from Amazon at £19.99 each one due in August and one September.  She is nicer than I expected, but I do wish she had jointed knees. After all they gave her jointed elbows and wrists so she can hold the baby why not go that little bit extra and let her sit down in comfort?  The box art is nice and good sized window so you can see what you are getting. Doll is fixed in with bands so easy to remove, but if keeping boxed I would guess the bands will rot over time?   Her hair is very soft head is a little bigger than Barbie Now to the belly..  The shell removes and can be replaced or you can flip around the flat stomach for after baby is born.  Baby is in a gel ball, I did not remove the baby as I want to keep as is... for now. I gave the baby a squish and it looks to be a series two baby.   Now for the size of the mum...

Lets Talk 1:6 Scale Fashion Dolls

So what is a fashion doll? It's a doll that is shaped like an adult human, as in not a child or baby doll. Before Barbie came out in 1959 most adult dolls were paper, then Ruth Halder (inventor of Barbie)  found the Bild Lilli doll while on holiday in Germany. She returned to the USA and after some back and forth Barbie was created. This is not meant as a history lesson for more details there are books and google. Bild Lilli and a #1 Barbie both from the collection of Louise Scarlett Sinclair Cook   This is more about shape and size So the first Barbie came out in 1959 followed by Ken in 1961 (not my photo) Over the years Barbie and Ken have changed shape a few times, to fit in with the body shapes of that era. There have been other fashion dolls  through the years Sindy(1963) and her boyfriend Paul (1965-1967) then again in the 80's (1987-1989).  Photos by SinkySnap Tressy (1963-1965) with the grow out hair along with others.  (not my photo) Only Sindy has last...
