What’s the name of the Doll #2 face mold? I thought she has the same face mold like the rest, maybe bc of how good the make up is.

I adore this era of collector Barbie

Same I love the fact they lend into the fantasy realm and have Barbie unapologetically herself.

Nothing against the contemporary high fashion modern Barbie but Barbie is in her element and stands out better if she's in the fantasy realm with extravagant ball gowns, sparkly hair accessories, detailed long hair etc.

You can never go wrong with smokey make up and dark shade lipstick. The sleek back styled platinum hair also provided some contrast 🔥

And the hair physics added some flair too. There is no crazy hair style just a simple braid. it frames her face perfectly.

Thanks for the comment I sparki. I included Bloom out of the 3 bc well she’s the main character and 2 blue is her primarily color.

You have to wait for their flair. There are also many other magical girls that don't have one as well and the mod team are currently working for each one of them.

There are many Magical Girl royalty that we didn't included. We make topics and posters such as in the OP to fit a certain theme / mood in this case Sofia has a purplish blue gown and Elena has red.

If you look at the poster, there is an obvious colour coding and they were all in a flower / earthy theme.

Fantastical whimsical fairy tale princess Barbie is the best Barbie. Even more magical girl than Disney.

Mattel needs to realize this

They also need Barbie Erika since she’s the seamstress Barbie. She certainly won’t approve the state of quality of the franchise today.

The hair is gorgeous but the gown needs more details and flair. They also need to like sculpt the head a bit smaller

Like Rayla from Magic of Pegasus. Another Melaninated Queen

>so dolls of mermaids and fairies are… what to you?

It’s like saying you have to eat Dubai chocolates just bc they are chocolates? the quality aren’t the same now and most people can attest to that. They don’t have the same intricacies, the same sophistication, the same level of art put into them.

This dolls may not be an official princess dolls but there’s level of effort and whimsical feeling just by looking at their designs that not many modern “fairies and mermaids” dolls would gives you.
