Up Scaling My Mini Baby Furniture Series One

Image
  I live in a 1:6 scale (Barbie) world when it comes to my dioramas. The My Mini Baby by Zuru and now the Miniverse Babies by MGA work well as newborn/ first couple of month old babies. Miniverse come more with accessories than furniture and the accessories I have so far are a good size. With Mini baby as with the Mini brands food is hit and miss with the scale all over the place. So what will work in the six scale world? Starting with series one The Pram... no good with Barbie but will worth with Stacie (just) and Kelly, Shelly, Chelsea or whatever her name is now. But they do come apart and the carry part can work with the fashion dolls. (Although for me they are a little small) But could be used with a new born (Midge) baby.  Changing table... is way to small Unless...   A good size as is for Stacie (Janet)  They also look good as a seat for putting on your (doll) shoes  Take two units and cut the feet off one and the top off another It's a bit hard doing it ...

 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?

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...
