A budget-friendly Barbie Beach House

What would you do if you, or a little girl you know, would like the Barbie Dream House but are dealing with sticker shock?
After all the "sale" price as listed in the Meijer flier this week is $110.

Take a look instead at the Beach House! There is a huge difference in price, but the houses are very similar. The Beach House has staircase instead of elevator, and four rooms instead of six.

Here's the picture of the Target ad this week:

Most Kenya dolls are cute, but I'll pass on the fashion doll

There's been some buzz about the return of Kenya doll to the market. According to Huffington Post, she was a popular African-American doll in the 1990s and the pictures I've seen of the original and baby dolls are quite cute.
The complaint I have is in the fashion doll cast.
The Fashion Kenya was listed for $20 and Mini Kenya listed for $5 in the Family Dollar ad this week.
I was really surprised at the unappealing look of the fashion doll as compared to the quality and appearance of Barbie. Even the African-American Barbie or the Christie friend of Barbie dolls look better than Kenya.
Furthermore, Barbie's So in Style line is far superior in styling and appearance, and sells for a lower cost, than the Fashion Kenyas.
