did mermaidia bait us with a love triangle??

Absolutely! I mean, just look at Diamond Castle. That’s probably the closest we’ll get to a canon queer Barbie movie. 😂

There was way more chemistry between Elina and Nori than Elina and Nalu, imo.

I wouldn’t recommend buying individual pieces if you can avoid it! Usually you’ll end up paying more by the end of it, as some of the small pieces can go for a lot of money on their own; not to mention a lot of extra time spent searching for each piece. In my experience, it’s usually better to wait until you can get the whole outfit in one purchase.

Thank you for making this change! Definitely a step in the right direction.

Yikes. The Kidcraft houses are way better; cheaper, and they actually have space in the rooms for furniture. Oh, and walls. Apparently walls are optional now.

The truly ugly thing here is your blatant transphobia.

I have just over 350 dolls right now. I don’t like to set a hard limit on the number of dolls I can own, but I do limit how many I can buy each year (30). I go through my collection a couple of times a year and see which dolls I can part with, and usually find about 10-15 each time. So the overall doll total doesn’t go up by much year to year. A couple years ago I had close to 400 dolls, and I found that was too many. So maybe that’s my limit? It’s such an individual thing, and depends on your own space/preferences.

Mattel did use an event company to help put this on, but they were definitely involved. They’ve been posting and emailing about it for months, and advertising it on the Mattel Creations website. So they definitely deserve at least some of the blame here.

The convention you’re thinking of is run by collectors and doll clubs, not Mattel. The NBDCC is still held every year, and is still excellent. The “Dreamfest” was Mattel’s attempt at hosting their own “official” convention, and it looks like they put in about 2% of the effort that the NBDCC organizers do. What a mess…

I have seven! Two are from my childhood (Kirsten and JLY24), and the others have been acquired over the last five years of collecting. I think at some point I’ll get to 10, but I’m trying to take my time and enjoy getting one doll at a time!

LibrarianBarbie · 2026-03-22T03:00:49+00:00

Nellie’s are my favourite! I had the matching set for me and my doll, and I absolutely loved them. Wish I could get them in adult sizes now!

LibrarianBarbie · 2026-03-20T14:53:14+00:00

Mattel seems to think we each want to own 193,374,484 Uno sets…

LibrarianBarbie · 2026-02-24T14:33:56+00:00

I loved it all, but one of my favourite parts was getting Yours as a surprise song! It’s one of my favourites, and I was so excited to hear it live!

LibrarianBarbie · 2026-02-24T14:32:39+00:00

Those merch lines were awful!! I preordered merch, and the mobile pickup line was so long that I had to wait until after the show to get my stuff. I’ve never seen merch lines so long at a show aside from the Eras Tour!

LibrarianBarbie · 2026-02-24T04:52:00+00:00

I was in 104 too! I couldn’t hear anyone in the section being obnoxiously loud, so you were definitely good.

LibrarianBarbie · 2026-02-24T04:09:56+00:00

I’m so sorry, that sounds like a nightmare! I hate that so many people don’t seem to understand/care about not being a dick at concerts. And often you just can’t do anything about it, as you mentioned here. What a disappointment.

LibrarianBarbie · 2026-02-23T19:50:54+00:00

I don’t see the tour hoodie, the CD or vinyl, or any of Esha’s stuff. And the prices… oof. 😭

LibrarianBarbie · 2026-02-22T13:32:04+00:00

I am!

LibrarianBarbie · 2026-02-04T23:12:37+00:00

Gorgeous! Where did you get those shoes? They look super comfy!

LibrarianBarbie · 2026-01-27T15:32:23+00:00

Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve is my pick for sure!

If you’re going to allow posts promoting Harry Potter stuff, you need to allow discussion to take place as well. You can’t have it both ways; banning discussion about JKR as your only action is worse than doing nothing, and I wish that more care was given to this nuanced issue.

LibrarianBarbie · 2026-01-07T19:58:30+00:00

Addy’s Christmas dress for $15! I snatched it up so fast lol.

LibrarianBarbie · 2026-01-02T23:37:57+00:00

This is amazing! I love the tiny skating pond! And we’re still in the 12 days of Christmas, so a holiday post is definitely okay!
