Barbie Collector Spring 2012 preview

Barbie Collector's Spring Preview 2012 catalog is in mailboxes and can be seen on line.

Here is my review:

• Most hilarious: Shoe Obsesssion.
• Most pink: Pink in Pantone.
• Gotta have Barbie Basics: Model 5, 14, 8 and 4.
• Gotta have Barbie Basics Acessories: Look 2 (jacket!)
• Most welcome return: Dolls of the World.
• Still on my wish list: Barbie silk scarf, Barbie laptop case.
• I'd wear them if I had them: Barbie Flannel Hat, Barbie Wool Scarf.
• Wrong size: iPhone case - I don't have an iPhone 4 yet, I have a 3gs and a newer model would be available by the time I'm buying my next phone anyway.
• Cute but won't buy: Barbie watch set. I really, really need a date stamp on my watch.
• The dolls I think my husband will buy me first: Dolls of the World Argentina and Australia.

Barbie Collector summer 2011 catalog

The Barbie Collector summer 2011 catalog arrived in my mailbox today.

I am impressed with the artistry of the Goddess of the Galaxy doll, but I do not like it enough to buy it. I do not have the proper space to display something this out of the norm of my usual doll collection.

That doll also costs $100, and my personal rule is I most ADORE any doll that costs more than $25 if I'm going to acquire it.

Other new releases featured include Farrah Fawcett doll, the Pirates of the Caribbean duo and the Museum Collection series.

The Harvey satchels and totes are pretty but that's beyond my budget.

The Sun Kissed Doll accessories are far more budget-friendly.
