Star Wars x Barbie #7

Well friends, here we are. The very last doll in the Star Wars x Barbie line! Seven of them, so crazy! But I love them all and this one definitely takes the cake in my opinion!

As I mentioned with the C3PO post, she is definitely my favorite with the hair and the gold. But there is something about this one. They are all unique but this one is above and beyond unique. Let's get to it!

I present, Barbie as Chewbacca!

This doll was the Mattel exclusive (and was a little more expensive) so they went extra with this one. No plastic band to hold the box flaps together. It's fabric with fur and a plastic logo!

 

The back of the box does not have the standard wording that the other boxes have. Just made to look like worn leather. Such a cool look.

And here she is in all her glory!

She has the Lea head mold I believe (someone please correct me if I'm wrong.) I just love her hat!

She has beautiful two toned Carmel and Brown hair.

That coat! She has a plastic piece for the top then all that fur on the coat. I just love it. Doesn't it look warm? Perfect for the snow that we got this morning! Or if you are visiting Hoth. Funny because Chewie comes from a tropical forested planet. And the skirt is a shorter fur but still so awesome!

I love how they put little nods to the characters original accessories. Her purse strap matches the strap on Chewie's bag that he wears.

Her bracelets also match.

THOSE BOOTS! Definitely the coolest footwear of the entire line. I have a pair of brown boots with fur at the top but not as cool as these! As I've said before in quite a few of my posts. Mattel needs to get into the footwear line. They would make a fortune. Size 9 please!

 

Here is the concept art for Chewbacca.

And for the doll.

And as with the other dolls, there is an iconic quote from the character on the right side of the box. Bet you can't guess what Star Wars movie this is from! haha

I tried to get a good picture of the collection. When I was away for a weekend this summer my husband put up a shelf in our bedroom for them to be displayed. They are above the window so there is no natural light hitting them at all.

I love them so much and my son loves to point out the "dollies" when ever we go in the bedroom for diaper changes.

So what do you think of the Chewbacca x Barbie doll? Are you in love with all that fur? Let me know in the comments!

I have one more post coming before Christmas. I went shopping a little early this year as there were some new Barbie fashions that I just HAD to HAVE. So stay tuned for those.

Until then!

Star Wars x Barbie #6

Hello Barbie Fans!

Getting on my computer has been rough lately! Between a son who has online kindergarten to husband who is doing his flight renewal, my computer (a laptop) has been getting a TON of use! Well I finally found a time where I could get on MY OWN computer to create a post for you all! 

And we have the second to last installment of the Barbie x Star Wars series! 

As I mentioned in the last post when I featured Rey, she was the one that I was drawn to when I saw the dolls on the website. She was stunningly beautiful and I just had to have her. When I got the dolls, THIS is the one that I really liked the best and you'll see why. Presenting Barbie as the robot C-3PO!

As with the other dolls, I've said that they are more stunning in person and this one fits the bill for sure. Everything about her outfit is just so......so.....awesome!

When my husband saw her he said "C-3P Fro!" and it's true! Look at this hair! Look at those glasses!

And look at the bodice of this dress. It is the most perfect nod to C-3PO. Like the belt and how they added sheer parts to reference the fact that this robot is not one solid piece. And the sequins are a nice fashionable touch!

I absolutely love the wrapped arms and the gauntlets. 

 

 

The boots are simple gold with not much detail. Just like C-3PO. 

 

 

Here is concept art of C-3PO.

 And of the doll. In the concept art she has transparent lenses in her glasses.

 

 

The quote on the side of the box is "We're doomed." Apparently this is a repeated line by C-3PO and is everywhere on the internet as a meme. So it's perfect!

Here are the images from Mattel of C-3PO Barbie. Honestly I didn't even realize that there was stitching down the front of the boots until I saw this photo. My picture of the boots isn't very good anyway so no surprise.

And as with Darth Vader and the Storm Trooper dolls, I wanted a photo without the glasses. WOW is all I can say. This is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL face sculpt. I think of all the AA dolls I've seen this is one of the most gorgeous. That nude lipstick and the gold eye makeup are just so so beautiful. I just love her. And now I wish that they had given her transparent lenses so we could see those eyes!

Well, that's all for today. One more Star Wars doll and then I can get to the REALLY fun stuff that I can't wait for. And also a doll that I bought for myself for my birthday. All that's coming up in the *very* near future!

Until then!

Star Wars x Barbie #5

 Hello friends!

It's been a while since my last update! Been kind of crazy. School is upon us and my son started kindergarten! Cue ALL the mom feels. He is online currently but is handling it very well. We got him a profile set up on the computer and he loves seeing all his friends in the group chats. 

But I am here with another one of the most beautiful Star Wars Barbie dolls. When I saw this doll it was actually the one that I fell HARD for. Because this doll is IT. 

Presenting, Rey!

Oh my goodness

Would you just LOOK at this gorgeous beauty? That dress, that hair? Take a look at an image of Rey on Google. This dress represents her beautifully. That high bun with ringlet curls? Absolutely beautiful.

 

This dress is so Rey. The crepe material matches her outfit from the movies perfectly. And those ombre legging boots? Those really compliment the outfit. The belt also adds a nice finishing touch.

 

She has one gold armband to match Rey's brown one that she wears in the movies.

She also has one gold earring on her left side. I could not find any significance between the earring and Rey but I like it. Kind of gives her a little edge.

Here is a close up of the legging boots. I'm not sure if it's really a full legging or just a thigh high boot as I couldn't take her out of the box and I haven't watched an unboxing yet. Love them. Mattel? Size 9 please......

On the left side of the box is the concept art of Rey.

On the right side is the concept art for the doll.

The quote on the box states "I can handle myself." Rey first appears in the movie "The Force Awakens" and the conversation is between her and Han Solo. 

Han: gives her a gun "You might need this."

Rey: "I think I can handle myself"

Han: "That's why I'm giving it to you." 

 

The box sleeve is the same as the others but instead reads "The Force Awakens" instead of "A New Hope."

Here is the official Barbie photo of the Rey doll.

Thankfully they also had photos of the back of the hair. I was dying to see it. And it's styled almost exactly like Rey's!

And the back of the dress is absolutely stunning too. She is definitely such a beautiful doll.

Well, friends that is all for today! Do you have the Rey Barbie doll? Plan on adding her to your collection? Let me know in the comments!

I have two other dolls in the Star Wars collection to show you and then I have a TON of goodies that I know you are going to love love love! And I can't wait!

Until next time!

Star Wars x Barbie #4

Welcome Friends!

I hope your summer is going splendid. We FINALLY got some hot weather which was desperately needed to pump my zucchini and raspberry production into high gear. Bumper crop for sure! 

But during those SUPER hot days where I want to stay in the nice cool house I've still been working on the great Barbie clothing identification. It's a long slow job but I've identified more than I could have bargained for. So that's a good thing. 

But today, we are talking about more Star Wars x Barbie! There was the first wave with the Princess Leia, R2D2 and Darth Vader. THEN they came out with a second wave and I absolutely DIED when I saw them. 

These dolls are also purchased with the inheritance from my sweet aunt who passed from cancer the beginning of March. And I cannot thank her enough. 

Second wave also came out with three dolls and one doll that was a Mattel.com exclusive. So I preorded them from Mattel and got a slight discount ordering them as a package. 

Without further ado, I present Storm Trooper x Barbie!

That hair. Those glasses. And those BOOTS! She is exactly how I would imagine a Storm Trooper Fashionable Barbie would be!

Like Darth Vader, I want to see this girl's eyes! But no taking her out of the box so there they would stay. And you can tell that hair is "Holiday Barbie Hard."

But look at that bodice! That jacket with those sleeves and then the plastic corset that gives her a robotic look.

She also wears gauntlets that partially cover the hands.

Now those boots! One boot covers the knee and they have different details at the top. If you take a look at a storm trooper they have boots that are similar to this design so good job on Robert Best for making that shine through on the doll.

The inside of the box left features concept art of a Storm Trooper

And inside box right features concept art of the doll.

The fun quote on the side of the box features the Galactic Empire logo and a quote that says "We don't need to see his identification."

This quote is from Episode IV: A New Hope. The conversation is between Obi-Wan Ben Kenobi, Luke Skywalker and a Storm Trooper

        

       TROOPER: How long have you had these droids?

LUKE: About three or four seasons.

BEN: They’re for sale if you want them.

TROOPER: Let me see your identification.

BEN: You don’t need to see his identification.

TROOPER: We don’t need to see his identification.

BEN: These are not the droids your looking for.

TROOPER: These are not the droids we’re looking for.

BEN: He can go about his business.

TROOPER: You can go about your business.

 

Here is the promo picture from the Mattel website.

And they even had a picture of the doll without the glasses. Oh how I wish I could see her eyes from in the box. I think the glasses on the head is a better look for her. And it's a little hard to see from in the box but the underside of her hair is blue. Nice detail!

Storm Trooper Barbie is a gold label doll with only 20,000 dolls made worldwide.

Well that's it for today. What do you think of Storm Trooper x Barbie? Is she being added to your collection? 

I'll have another one in a few days. Until then!
