This gorgeous peacock doll by Tonner is a limited edition (of just 100!) She was introduced at the 2012 Flights of Fancy doll convention, which apparently had a bird theme. I don’t usually get excited about blonde dolls, but this peacock doll is truly lovely. I’d love to get a closer look at the intricate…
I’m so delighted to see this vintage 1922 Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp paper doll. It was removed from a vintage magazine (possibly McCall’s?) The paper dolls include Aladdin, the Genie of the Lamp, the Sultan, the Sultan’s Daughter, The Black and the White Slave, and The African Magician. So charming! It’s refreshing to see…
I’m sort of disappointed with Monster High’s new Scarily Ever After fairy tale dolls. They’re too.. colorful.. not dark or spooky enough. The series features werewolf daughter Clawdeen as “Little Dead Riding Wolf”, Frankie Stein the daughter of Frankenstein as “Threadarella,” and Dracula’s daughter Draculaura as “Snow Bite.” Monster High “Threadarella” Monster High “Snow Bite”…
Phineas and Theodora are a pair of dolls from Wilde Imagination’s steampunk line, Imperium Park. These feature black and white costumes that look like they could have been part of The Night Circus. They were an exclusive for attendees at the 2012 Wilde Imagination Weekend convention. “Basic Thea” comes dressed in a simple black-and-white striped…
This is so adorable I almost can’t stand it! Amelia Thimble is a cute four inch doll made by Wilde Imagination. Last year they offered this Sweet Treats boxed set. It came with a blonde Amelia Thimble doll, plus an Alice in Wonderland costume for her to wear, as well as a black-and-orange witch’s costume…
Milton-Bradley made “Emerald the Enchanting Witch” doll for just one year only, in 1972. She featured unusual (for the time) green hair, and her green eyes “lit up.” She wore a little black dress, black boots, and a black pointy witch’s hat trimmed with silver rickrack. A few outfits were made for her, such as…
I never thought I’d see the day Mattel allowed Barbie to be depicted as.. a ghost!? This paranormal Barbie features blonde hair, a gossamer white gown (notice it isn’t too tattered!) and a not-quite-smiling face. I love her eye makeup! Just in time for Halloween 2012!
I am pretty shocked at how unusual and “out there” this Barbie is. “Empress of the Aliens” is a 2012 Barbie Collector doll. I’m quite surprised Mattel would allow this (albeit lovely) strange doll to be created. Might it hurt their branding? She wears a spectacular purple gown with green bodice, heavily slanted eyelashes and…
I love that these vintage 1960s dolls often came packaged in cute hatboxes. This one is John and His Pets, complete with a white picket fence and a miniature can of pet food. His plaid jacket is too cute! “Beth at the Supermarket” includes a cookbook, mini tin can, and tin of sugar (all made…
Described as “The good witchy cousins of the Bratz,” these dolls look an awful lot like a Monster High ripoff or copycat product to me. I also think they have dumb names, as opposed to Monster High dolls which have clever ones. Each of the five new doll characters have special magical powers. Cloetta Spelletta…
