![]() Her hair is rooted without a clear parting at the front which makes it look a bit sloppy to me. Crappy bodies are unacceptable) but hey, better late than never huh? I never reviewed the first few I got (I got them on clearance! No way was I paying full price no matter how pretty the face and clothes. It was a really dumb move and made these super expensive dolls little more than mannequins, not dolls.Even 1959 fucking Barbie had better articulation! Instead she would have a frozen body with completely static legs that couldn't even move at the hips.īeing unable to sit a doll is absolutely crippling to play. for reasons known ONLY to Mattel, they decided this new fashion doll didn't need to be able to sit. Of course the final nail in the coffin was the dolls themselves. The fashion packs were an eye watering £16:99 (the same price as a monster high doll, wth?) In the US, Stardolls were retailing about $21, here in the UK? £23. Now, the second nail in the coffin was price. This was, understandably, very very frustrating. ![]() Well, less than that actually because it seems no argos ever got the second Bonjour Bijou or Pretty 'n' love dolls. There were 2 dolls for each theme, but argos being argos, they never bothered to split them so you had a 50/50 chance of getting the one you wanted. doll space? (again no clue what links them) Fallen Angel (the gothy looking ones), Bonjour Bijou (I have no idea what links them.), Pretty 'n' love (um. In Stardoll's case they split them by their "theme" This involves a lot of waiting around and a lot of repeat trips trying to find the ONE in any line you're trying to find, because they don't bother to split assortments by character, ooooh nooo. Now Argos is a nightmare for exclusive lines, mostly because being a catalogue store you cannot SEE the product on a shelf, you only see a promo photo in a catalogue and either have to buy blind, or queue up and hope they'll allow you to view before you buy. Argos was the only retailer to bother to carry them (tru started to get them in later, but muuuuch later when they were already a dead line). Now, the UK stock of Stardolls was the first nail in their coffin in this country. I wanted her clothes damnit, did from the moment I set eyes on her (she's the one in the blue jacket and the shorts in that image above) but I never saw her in the UK. Knowing Stardoll clothing fits Barbie and similar dolls, I sent husband to go look for the one I never found when they were in Argos. I got a few of these when they first came out, but TRU has a huge sale on right now so they've ransacked their warehouse and found a lot of really oddly old stock to put out on shelves for pretty cheap. Ultimately, they didn't sell as well as hoped and disappeared off to failed doll line heaven. Unfortunately however, there were a few problems. The lines would have been called 'Voile' and 'Rio', respectively.The starting lineup featured 8 dolls, all in mix and match fashions with unique shoe sculpts and a range of skin tones, face moulds and hair colours. There were three accessory packs released for the line, each with a voucher for 25 virtual star dollars.Īlthough the second wave of dolls never made it into production, some promo images did do the rounds in 2012. ( Box Front / Back) - see review at ToyBoxPhilosopher. There were eight dolls released, two each based on the looks of four different Stardoll stores: Bonjour Bizou, Fallen Angel, Pretty n Love. The trade off was that the doll's legs didn't move, and their larger feet and different body shape made it difficult for them to share clothes with other Barbie lines. ![]() The dolls stood 12 inches high, rooted hair and applied lashes, and had bodies designed in the same pose as Stardoll avatars. Stardoll is a paper doll dress up site geared towards teenage girls in 2016 it had over 400 million users! In 2011 they went into collaboration with Mattel to release a range of fashion dolls. Each doll came with a voucher for 50 Star dollars to be spent on the site, plus a week's Superstar membership.
