As of today, it seems to be the only article on the internet actually SHOWING what the finished clothing designs look like. I never would have guessed the shiny fabric!

When I go to TRU, hen I find something, I check the other stores, and then have them price-match. For Amazon, it has to be a Prime item though, which isn't a big deal. TRU is the only company to price-match so many other stores.

The bright pink around it might be playing a trick on your eyes. Also colors on screen often appear different than in person. I'm a seamstress and get to deal with this a lot.

You get a better quality outfit if you get the ready made clothes. You could get about 2 or 3 pieces of the mix and match clothes (including shoes), and you would still pay less.

Only just recently have they put the MH Fierce Rockers set on sale, and, while it's good for collectors who want a chance at finding relatively older products, it's a poor business move.

I think for the quality you get in most of these pieces that the prices should be considerably lower than what AG charges for their usual clothing. The experience is definitely worth something, but the quality, yikes. I do think the shorts are very cute, in part because they're realistic as I expect them to be from AG.

I like that one a lot.<br /><br />I have to say that Toys R Us had a good run, even after conspiring and succeeding to run Kiddie City out of the market years ago. Their biggest problem is their pricing. They over price dolls I can easily find for $3-5 dollars less at Walmart or Target.

If you think of it in terms of buying fabric and iron on transfers, you could affordably make these clothes two or three times over for their cost. The shiny knits remind me of the thin, cheap Barbie clothes that came out in the 80s and don't last. They fray, catch, pill .Nonna @ mommysdollclub.comhttp://mommysdollclub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-28567712723791105112017-09-22T01:43:47.366-04:002017-09-22T01:43:47.366-04:00As always, EXCELLENT review and observations!
