Movable Joint African Doll from China New Variants

There are new variants for the African dolls with movable joints from China. They come in fantasy-colored hair. They come nude, though.



While the novelty is in the hair, I can't say it is of good quality. The hair isn't soft. The curls easily become wavy and messy.



Let's see if I can turn them into something I like.

Barbie Fashionista 81 (Wear your Heart) Petite

After over a decade of captivity by the Mattelorists, Kira, the first token Asian friend of Barbie, was released back to Playline City. People rejoiced.

She made a number of public appearances after her release:
- Barbie Pink Passport Beach Set 
- I Can be Scientist
- Fashionista 81 (Wear Your Heart) Petite
- Fashionista 62 (Sweet for Silver) Petite

I was only able to catch one of her appearances. I was happy to see her again but I felt something about her changed.

I spent some time to get to know her to find out what. I compared her to my memories because someone you love leaves memories too vivid to erase, even if memories are highly unreliable at times.

There is one thing I'm sure of. After her experience with the Mattelorist, she now views the world differently.

Barbie Dreamtopia Rainbow Cove Mermaid Doll

This just takes me somewhere different, away from the hard realities. That's privilege.



While this doll could use a makeover, there is no urgency. The possibilities always wait. For now, I'll enjoy it as it is.
