Doll Review: Barbie Fashionistas Petite "Pretty in Paisley"

Image
Hello everyone! It's been ages since I last reviewed a Barbie doll, so today it's finally time to do so. The chosen one is Barbie Fashionista #41 Pretty in Paisley . This is one of the first dolls with the new petite bodies that came with fashions.

Doll Review: DC Super Hero Girls Batgirl

Image
Hello my dear doll lovers! Today it's time to review another character from the DC Super Hero Girls line: Batgirl! From this line I have already reviewed Poison Ivy and Bumblebee , so check those out if you missed them. I got Batgirl back in september and she's been sitting in her box until now, when I finally have time to set her free. On the DC Super Hero Girls webisodes, Batgirl is first introduced as Barbara Gordon, an IT department employee, not a student. I don't follow the show very regularly, so I've missed the episode where she starts appearing as Batgirl and not Barbara. 

Doll Review: McKeyla McAlister with lava lamp experiment (Project MC2)

Image
Since the Project MC2 came out, I wanted to get my hands on them. However, they didn't seem to be hitting the Spanish stores anytime soon and the price was too high on Amazon.com to be worth paying the 18€ of shipping. So, when I finally saw the dolls on a store (a year after their release) I had to get at least one.   The story around the Project Mc2 dolls is about McKeyla McAlister, a secret agent, and her smart friends who join her to form a team of young spies. This line tries to show young girls how interesting STEAM (they've added "art" to it) fields are. Some of the dolls, like this one I got, come with an experiment so girls can learn a little bit of basic science. And now,  let's start the review.

Mini Review: Funko Rock Candy Barbie & Batgirl

Image
When I started this blog, I only had a couple of Monster High dolls,  and my plan was to build a Monster High themed doll house and use this blog as a journal. However, things changed, I found a new job and I started University, so the doll house project was pretty much off the table. My Monster High collection expanded, I found interest in other type of dolls and I started doing reviews. For a while now I've been interested in those Funko figures, so this year Mr. Monster and I have decided to collect them.  Don't worry, I'm still planning to focus my collection (and this blog) mainly in dolls, but since one of the figures Mr. Monster got me for Christmas is a Barbie Funko, I think I could do a quick review on them.

Doll Review: Middle School Moguls Sunny

Image
Hi everyone! Today it's time to review another doll from the Middle School Moguls line. I have already reviewed Jada a couple of days ago, and now it's Sunny's turn.  On my last post, I told you that the mini moguls are a group of girls that run their own website. Well, I have read the book (we'll talk about that later) and actually they go to a super- exclusive school called Mogul Academy, where they only accept a few genious kids.   Sunny is the coding queen of the group and has a pet iguana called Buttercup. She's really good at programming and is really tech savy.

Doll review: Middle School Moguls Jada

Those who have been following this blog for a while know how much I appreciate that playline dolls (or any other toy) have a possitive message or try to make a change for good. So, when I heard about this project called Middle School Moguls, I thought that backing them on Kickstarter was a good idea.  Here's the story: the mini moguls are a group of tech savy girls that run their own succesful website. The Heitkamp sisters created this line to empower little girls to become the CEOs and tech leaders of tomorrow, as only 7% of top CEOs are women. You can go to their Kickstarter page for more info.

And January is here

Hello everyone! After a long non-bloging period, I'm back for a few weeks. I told you on my last post that I would try to blog once a month, but this semester has been beyond horrible for me, so it's been imposible. And there were so many things I wanted to write about! Luckily, during a few weeks I will have time to do (almost) all the things that I want. But now let me tell you what I've been up to during this months. My doll collection has expanded a little bit since my last post. I have been quite busy to go on massive doll hunting, but I've managed to get a couple of  DC SuperheroGirls at fair prices.
