Every time I do one of these I straight-up forget what tag I decided on for these posts...
Now we're into December I thought I would do another new release round-up post! These posts are just to talk about any of the recent Barbie Signature collector doll releases I feel I have an opinion on - even if that opinion is just "I think this looks cool".
Also sometimes I discuss the releases in a weird order, because I will sometimes just get tunnel visioned on a certain doll and then not include another that is deserving of discussion.
Anyway.
There are two recent celebrity likeness dolls released: one in the Inspiring Women series and the other in the Tribute Collection. The difference between these two series is relatively subtle: in Mattel's words, the Tribute Collection honours "visionaries whose incredible contributions have helped shape and impact culture", while the Inspiring Women line celebrates "trailblazing women throughout history".
The Inspiring Women newest release is Maria Tallchief, both America's first prima ballerina and, as an Osage woman, the first Native American prima ballerina. Her outfit, as pictured above, was based on her debut in The Firebird.
The Tribute Collection doll celebrates Rita Moreno, EGOT winner and, of course, Anita from the 1961 West Side Story film and Valentina from the 2021 West Side Story.
The only designer credited on Mattel's website is Javi Meabe, but according to some sources, like this PopInsider article, Moreno herself had a key role in the design. Moreno shared the doll on Instagram with a very appreciative caption.
Besides these two celebrity dolls, the other big news from the Barbie Signature line is the release of the collectible MyScene dolls.
Specifically Chelsea, Barbie and Madison.
For some reason, I've never done a post about MyScene. I think because the line totally missed me when it first came out and I never had any kind of investment in it.

My scene Madison with a curvy articulated barbie body.
I think it works.
I took all my other my scene dolls off display because I'm running out of space and they were the dolls I interacted with the least.
I couldn't stand to move this Madison though. She's too pretty and I spent too much time restoring her hair to shove her in a storage bin.
falling for millennial nostalgia consumerism is okay if it slays actually

“i'm all about the clothes. even if i’m not buying - not that that happens much - i could spend hours just checking things out and trying things on!”
