The last photodump of Billie in Biržai (Lithuania). (Yes, it makes total sense for her to pose leisurely by that rubble. 😅)

New Barbie Basics Create kits

If I understand correctly, you get three heads in each kit but only one body.

And the heads have rooted hair. No more of those janky wigs, praise jeebus.

Thoughts?

Dolls I Didn't Buy: Barbie Basics You Create Neutral Kit 002 at Ross for $14.99

There's been a minor trend on Instagram of finding the Barbie Basics You Create series (currently $54 in Mattel's online store) at Ross for $14.99. Since today is my twice-monthly personal errand day, I decided to drop in at my local Ross and dd's, just to see what's what.

Ross #1 and both dd's were devoid of these dolls. Ross #2 apparently got the one box designated for this region. I was very pleased to find one, thereby participating in the zeitgeist of the era. But though she's a gorgeous doll, this isn't the direction my collection is going. I left her for someone who'll be really over the moon about bringing her home.

For extra laughs, note that Ross lists her "comparable price" as $30, which is still well below the actual original retail.

Day 6 of posting dolls I’ve added to my collection this year, this is the 2025 Barbie basics #01 kit facemold doll

I named her Kalea which means joy, I actually love this doll so much that I bought a second one too customize, as soon as I saw this doll I had to have her she’s just so pretty and admittedly it made me kind of want the original kit made to move so kind of gotta keep an eye out for her, the one thing that I don’t love about the doll that her hair is short and really hard to style no matter what I do it always ends up being a static mess, anyway she is wearing a Disney ily Rapunzel sweater & Daisy Duck skirt, and a purple Barbie top and shoes, plus her original earrings and a rubber band ponytail for a headband.

as far as the basics line goes I actually really love these newest dolls. I like that their heads are supposed to be more easily swappable even if they are a little bit loose. .The only other one I bought was #04 The red I wasn’t thrilled with her as I was with #01, with #04 the printing on her face is either hit or miss and I just don’t think I got a good one.

on the other hand the first three dolls got Mattel creation kits that included the three other body types three new facemold three wigs and three outfits three sets of shoes and three accessories, which all around is really cool unfortunately these things are $100 a pop and well that’s not bad for three dolls. I have to admit it was a little more than I could pay considering I still have to pay shipping too. Maybe if they go on sale I’ll get one.

This is one of my favorite Barbie sculpts and I feel like they did her dirty. There's something off about her faceup that I can't pinpoint.

New doll in my collection! 🩷

I've actually had the kimono forever, but could never find the right doll for it... until yesterday! She is the 2025 Barbie Basics, Model 01, with the Kit face sculpt, wearing the 1996 Oshogatsu Happy New Year Barbie outfit.
