I don't want to think about how much she'll be in Australia. I don't buy the Dia de Muertos dolls usually but Taya is one of my favourite Barbie sculpts and she looks stunning here, so I've been thinking about buying this year's Dia de Muertos.

To be honest, that's why I updated this skeet: because they were featured on the last updated skeet. I was genuinely not aware of how weird the mod/mods on that sub are until today. I regret having them on the last skeet.

I created this skeet to make people aware of the notoriously homophobic, transphobic, racist and xenophobic mod (Yes, one single mod NOT mod team!) who moderates r/Dolls & r/DollsofAsia. Sadly many people can attest to the abhorrent behaviours of this mod, myself included. #dollsky #reddit

If you don't me asking, does the articulated body have gold or silver numbers or letters at the back?

She looks gorgeous! Which made to move Barbie does the body originally belong to? Vintage Kiras are always hard to match!

I read that the Winx dolls were going to appear in Kmart Aus, I think? I wonder if they'll appear in other Aussie shops.

These look so cute! This Dream Besties line still hasn't turned up in Australia unfortunately though.

I've noticed that Mattel calls it the "Kira" sculpt exclusively. I'd like to see Mattel acknowledge the first Asian Barbie more but I wish that they would explain the historical context & apologise for calling the doll the O word. But clearly I'm expecting too much from a big company like that.

Ginger Tea Dollhouse @gingerteadollhouse.bsky.social · 03/04/2026
The first Asian Barbie from 1981 has the O word in her name. Mattel should've called her "Hong Kong Barbie" because that's where she's supposed to be from (Kira fans call her that). Sadly the Kira face sculpt is STILL known as the "O word" face sculpt by many long time Barbie collectors. /1

I've seen the "Going Home" Barbie before. I've seen her being called an "Asian" Barbie (Yes really!) by a few Barbie collectors before & that's bothered me a lot. The baby doll is Asian but Barbie herself is not. Just because she has adopted an Asian looking baby, it doesn't make that Barbie Asian.

I have a Club 59 membership & I couldn't be bothered voting for this because of the weird discourse surrounding the vote. I wish we got both the Jinu & Mira dolls & that there was no vote at all.

I agree that Renee shouldn't have laid edges. It's disrepectful & Mattel should stop putting laid edges on Asian looking dolls unless the doll is supposed to be mixed Black & Asian (which Renee is not, she's canonically monoracial Chinese). Apart from that, I like how this Besties line looks!

Ginger Tea Dollhouse @gingerteadollhouse.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
Agreed! Not surprised that Lisa collab'd on this since it's known in the Kpop fandom that she loves Labubus & Bratzies kind of look like Labubus to me. I wouldn't buy Lisa's ones though. Especially after her controversies, I'm not interested in supporting her. These are $80AUD! That's a lot.

She looks like a clone version of the Barbie Mackie face sculpt. I've seen this sculpt around AliExpress. Usually I see Barbie clone dolls have a version of the Generation Girl/CEO face sculpts.

That Katya custom doll looks great! I agree that the original Barbie doll doesn't look like Kylie at all. I've seen people say that she looks more like Taylor Swift! I don't agree though. But I'm curious to see what other customs people make with the Kylie doll.

Ginger Tea Dollhouse @gingerteadollhouse.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
If that is true, then that's confusing. Like why couldn't they use the original Kira sculpt for Dana? She looks noticeably different. If it's a reproduction doll, she should look the same as the original doll. They haven't been marketed like they're "tribute" Barbies. I feel a bit sad about it.

Ginger Tea Dollhouse @gingerteadollhouse.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
I agree. I've heard people say that this particular Kira face sculpt has been used for Fashionistas that used the Kira face mold. I have some Kira Fashionistas so I'm curious to compare them with this doll. I definitely prefer the original face as well. Supposedly, only Dana's face is different. /1

Ginger Tea Dollhouse @gingerteadollhouse.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
I found the Dana repro face leak. It's on Instagram. The two faces definitely look different! I own Dana & Dee Dee only. I agree, I would love to see them with cassettes! Even though there is a cassette revival, kids wouldn't know what they are. I wish they'd re-release the Rockers fashions too.

People really want Diva & Derek to turn up. I really hope that they do! I saw a leak somewhere for Dana's face & admittedly it does decidedly look different to the original. I'll see if I can find it again but I can't remember where I saw it. But yeah, I worry about the quality as well. :-(

Yes, this is a repro for the 40th Anniversary for Barbie & the Rockers. Mattel Creations did a poll last year or late 2023 (I can't exactly remember) to vote for which 3 dolls to be remade. Barbie, Dana & Dee Dee won that poll. All 5 should be made though! There are rumours about a 4th doll! /1

I agree. I managed to get my hands on a barbiestyle doll for $80AUD last year. I don't know how much they retailed here in Australia originally but that price is the cheapest I've seen for one. I'm still after the barbiestyle Lea/Kayla doll but she's always more than $200AUD, that's so expensive!

One of my grails is Barbie Black & White Collection from 2016 & I've been thinking to buy a 65th Anniversary Barbie (for the dress) & a 2021 Lunar New Year (because she's also Mari) to "make" my own version. But yeah, otherwise making your own version of grail dolls isn't easy or cheap!

Users on Reddit were saying that they'd like to see this but with Barbie dressed up as a magical girl or a fairy. I need Mattel to do that now because I want to see that too!

They were like $2 on clearance at Sportsgirl & there were silver & gold ones. They're supposed to attach onto shoes & shoelaces but I thought they'd look good on my dolls instead. The silver ones look so good on Madison! Kmart Aus has charms & jewelry making stuff, could use that for dolls too.

I also don't like that the Holiday Barbies look like they're missing an accessory. A bracelet or a necklace would have also looked nice too. On a personal note, I would have liked to have seen the Mari sculpt as part of 2026's Holiday lineup. Jia looks gorgeous though, as well as everyone else.

2026's dress definitely looks better than 2025's dress. I'm in the camp of people wanting a different coloured dress; I would love to see a green dress! Mattel hasn't had a green Christmas dress in over a decade at this point. Even silver would be alright too. We need a switch up from red & gold! /1

That's completely understandable! Their legs are so long. I got my first Hi Glamm doll in a bundle of dolls, not knowing anything about them. But then I grew to like them, so I wanted to get a friend for the first one!

As a non Monster High fan, I do like the look of these dolls & I LOVE how diverse they are. Would I buy one? Admittedly I'm not sure yet but only because of proportion preferences. I do own 2 Hi Glamm dolls which fit some Monster High outfits so they could share. I've got to think about it!
