How far will your US$35 go?

I got everything from the above photo for a total of less than US$35 -- one doll and 2 fashion sets. Mattel is selling the 45th Anniversary Black Barbie for the same price. That's one doll with less articulation and a fashion set. 

With high inflation rates all over the world, I wonder how Mattel will survive with Chinese brands as competition. Not by short-changing their customers, I hope. Wait until you learn how much the executives and  the CEO from Mattel get.

Please note that while I patronize the Chinese brand, because it's a more economical option, I am against the Chinese government in invading our territories.

I'm not really a fan of the Xianxian doll heads. All, but one, of my Xianxian dolls have been body donors. Even if I am liking them so far, I have enough of the current skin tones. If there will be new skin tones available, a tan or a darker one, I'd buy those in an instant. I'm not gonna rebody all of my dolls. I still like some body diversity.
