Do you have a Talize near you? If yes, how great, right? Decent thrift shop! If no, too bad because they are kick-butt! The stores near me had a big honking 50% off the while store sales, so I got me some dolls! Let explore what I got...
Bag #1, I was hopeful, I could clearly see the Skipper and what I believed was a Tori, and then non-Barbie.
I was right, Generation Girl Tori! Of course, this is not her original outfit, she was wearing a skater girl outfit originally. I actually already have this doll, so this one is going to wear the backup outfit that the doll comes with, a red sporty t-shirt dress.
The outfit she is wearing is from 1995's Songbird Barbie. So tacky. Though I bet back when it was originally released, and I was a young gal, I probably would have thought it was gorgeous.
A Disney Classic Sleeping Beauty from 1991. Nice enough doll, though her eyes look cloudy all the time. They were the "eyes open with a washcloth" style eyes, but now she just looks like she's living with glaucoma. The cool thing about her is that she has a reversible skirt. So she can be pink, as above...
Or blue!
I have very little interest in Disney dolls unless they are really nice. This one will probably be heading back to a thrift shop sometime soon.
Here we have a 1990 Babysitter Skipper, who looks to be in decent condition. I have several of this doll, as well as many more copies of this exact outfit. This must have been the coolest Skipper of the 90's, every kid had her. I like that she has one shoe, it tells a story about how bad her night of babysitting is going.
Ah, and her head pops off. Too bad! She'll be heading into the "repair pile".
Bag #2, Pink Legs, a brunette, the only black doll in the whole store and a plain ol' Barbie.
The Brunette, nice enough but likely cheap doll. One of those shift dresses or bathing suit dolls that you can get for $5.
Pretty sure this is a Barbie and the Three Musketeers "Corrine" doll. She's pretty, but I hate her pink legs. Why they do this with dolls is beyond me, as it limits the clothes that they can later wear.
Random Ol' Barbie. She's in need of a washing!
The only black doll, the whole reason for the purchase. I'm pretty sure she's Fashionista's Clutch Dolls: Wave 2 Nikki. It's hard to be 100% sure though, as she's completely nude.
Bag #3 The bag with 2 neato Barbies, and two totally not Barbie dolls.
You'll have to believe me when I say that this doll is much prettier in person. She's a deer in the headlights here, and her hair is mussed-up. I originally was excited because she is wearing Barbie The Look Pool Chic's dress, and I thought it could have been that doll at first. It's not, and I'm not quite sure who she is yet. She's pretty though, and her earrings and shoes go with the dress pretty well.
G.I. Joe! I have no idea who he is other than that, he's wearing a police-ish uniform though. He's a nicely articulated doll, and I think he'll be enjoyed by my son, minus the gun.
When I first saw this doll in the bag I thought for sure she was being chucked in the thrift store donation box, however, upon looking at her she is pretty darn awesome! The is DC Super Hero Girls Supergirl, and she is really a beautiful doll. She stands on her own, is magnificently articulated and is straight up a lot of fun! I might just have to look towards picking a few of these up...
Looky looky, another Fashionista! #41 Pretty in Paisley dressed like a skank. You can't tell from the picture, but that skirt leaves little to the imagination at the back! This doll came as a gift set with the doll and a few outfits, none of them this schoolgirl ensemble.
Speaking of Skanky Skanks clothes, here they are! I'll eventually get her into the paisley dress. I don't understand the denim romper look, but I do love the one random shoe. Like, why even include that? "Maybe the person who buys this bag will have the match at home!". So now I have one tacky white shoe.
At some point, I'll clean these ladies up and dress them, stay tuned for that amazing day!
