Here we are at the end of Barbie Month. The time flew by for me! But this has been one of the most fun months of blogging that I've ever had. Not only was there a ton for me to learn about Barbie, but the range of dolls I got to play with was awesome. And the movie has united so many people with its joyful exuberance! I've heard only positive things about it--and from a really wide range of people.
I've been tracking all of the Barbie movie dolls since they were released, and it's been interesting to watch the sales patterns. Cowgirl Barbie sold out very quickly, but the other options were available for quite a long time. Then, suddenly, in the ten days since the movie premiered, most of the dolls have completely sold out. I think Denim Ken is the only character left at Mattel Creations, and the big box stores only have Basic Ken and Gloria...and I would not count on that to last. So with new buyers facing secondary market prices that are leaning towards $200, it's important to know what these dolls are like in person.
I knew there was never going to be time for me to review all of the Barbie movie dolls. In fact, I wasn't even sure if I'd be able to squeeze this review in by the end of July--especially since this past week happened to overlap with a mini vacation that my husband and I have been planning since February. But it all worked out and I'm here to finish up the month by showing you three of the Barbie Signature dolls that I bought:
