As always, your sense of humour is amazing XD I was a little sad earlier, but I was cheered up and had a great time reading this; definitely had some good laughs! The Barbie Looks story continues with its most exciting chapter yet: three new dolls as glamorous and refreshing as the last!

What’s different about these newcomers? Quite a bit, but the main concept of highly articulated dolls with distinctive, high-fashion sensibilities remains the same. “The makeup definitely has more of an ‘80s vibe this time around,” says Bill. “And all the dolls use silver metallic as a through line to their fashions.” These two are identified as Model #4 and Model #5, but that's really impersonal (and sounds a lot like Mambo Number 5) so I'm going to call them Malik and Kyle. The Barbie Looks #19 doll - with mix-and-match fashion - is the first of many exclusive Barbie dolls that members can add to their collections. And if you want to add to your Barbie Looks collection, you must be a Barbie Signature member. With fresh looks and style personality, Barbie Looks™ dolls make the perfect gift for fashion aficionados, stylists and collectors.

Hi Brie! Thank you for introducing yourself! I love the miniature furniture and accessories from AG, too! I almost like those things more than the dolls...ok, I definitely like those things more than the dolls! Not that I don't like the dolls, but that company does such an excellent job with miniatures! I discovered the Barbie Looks line during one of my internet research missions. Before that, I thought that the only new developments with Mattel's highly-articulated body were the newest Made to Move characters. My Target didn't have a great selection of Made to Move dolls, and I wasn't too impressed with the ones I found.

My own collection is mainly kept under control by my desire for little ‘things’. I discovered that I love the AG scale furniture and extras. Beyond that i try to restrict myself to wheelchair using dolls. This exclusive doll differs from the basic Barbie Looks dolls by including more clothing and accessories. "I'm very excited to have a special members-only Barbie doll," says Bill. She's more dolled up than the regular Barbie Looks dolls from this wave with extra fashion pieces and accessories." With posable articulated bodies, each doll in this curated collection is ready to style, pose, photograph and post. I love the whole concept of the Looks dolls! I still have Lina and Sean on my wish list, along with 2 of the new metallic Looks dolls-the Original who looks like short-haired Miley Cyrus (face sculpt name: Andra) and the long-haired male who looks like Taylor Lautner (face sculpt name: Cam). I bought Kit last month and just got Victoria for Christmas, so I'd like to share a few insights I've gathered from my own experiences with the different body types.Just like the first Barbie Looks release, it’s the photography that really brings the dolls to life, thanks to the creative mind of Art Director Zlatan Kusnoor. “When I saw Bill’s metallic dolls, the first thought that popped into my head was space! I wanted the dolls to vaguely look like they were on a space craft,” he says. “We took a portion of the first set and lit it up with blue hues to complement the silver metallic looks. I am obsessed with how the shots turned out.” Featuring on-trend fashions with photo-worthy details, Barbie Looks™ dolls inspire the stylist within. Victoria looks like she's stepped out from some '70s-'80s sci-fi. To me the zippers on her boots look to be on the correct side - at least that's where all my boots have zippers: on the inside, not on the outside. Maybe it's just me and my style preferences though :D

Another part of what makes the photography so impactful, of course, is the lifelike way the dolls are posed. I’m in Melbourne, Aus and was first drawn here 4 years ago when my girl ‘needed’ a red haired younger sister for her Florrie Doll - now sadly defunct but their dolls are very very similar in all dimensions and quality to AG. I had found a Paola Reina that looked as though it might work but as we had a very strict doll on birthday only i wanted to be sure it would hold up. Your review helped with that choice and Poppy is much loved. Just enough smaller to be a younger sister but can share a large proportion of the clothing.

I know that the My Twinn company made an excellent, highly maneuverable wheelchair for 23" dolls, but perhaps that's not what you're after? My favourite part of this review was definitely seeing Malik and Kyle meeting the girls! You created such fun dynamics between them, and they seem to pose so naturally together?? I'm sorry your Kit's face had some defects, and her hair was hard to handle though, that's unfortunate. :(

I hadn't realized that her outfit looked too big for her until you pointed it out, but you're right, and now I can't unsee it! XD Makes me wonder what she would look like if her outfit design had been something like Victoria's dress instead. Each previous wave included six dolls, and this wave will include six more dolls (#13-#18) as well as a #19 doll that is members-only. "The six basic dolls have a more casual vibe, and the #19 doll is a little more glamorous," says Bill as he explains the exclusive doll distinction. Designed by Barbie Signature Lead Designer Bill Greening , the sleek second installment of the fan favorite series features another gorgeous, ethnically diverse lineup of Barbie and Ken dolls, this time w ith metallic details and even more edge. A ll three new Barbie Looks dolls have fully posable Made to Move™ bodies, original face sculpts, trendy hairstyles, and high-shine clothing with disco chic vibes. I also really loved the photographs in this review as well!! I didn't realize just how beautiful and expressive all of these girls were until you made them come to life like this! Definitely have to agree that Elle was especially breathtaking, but they're all lovely~Today I'll review the two highly-articulated male model dolls in the Barbie Looks collection, and then in a few days I'll showcase three of the female dolls from the same line. I've had a lot of fun with this group!
