The Barbie Look for 2014
The news out of Mattel is Bill Greening has some new Barbie Look’s for us. The news from retailers is that these “The Barbie Look” offerings will be available in December and will go for roughly $29.99 each. Many shops are offering up these beauties for presale so if you like them, put your order in with your favorite Barbie retailer.
There is a pink gowned one so she will be on my Christmas list for sure 
I adore the applied lashes on these beauties! I am thinking the gold gowned Diana Ross inspired number may have to come live with me too. I am really loving the edgy earrings of the blue pant suited blond and I like the coloring of the doll wearing the more casual blue dress. Oh heck…who am I kidding…I will probably just get all of them LOL!
New Barbies for Mid to Late 2013 Release
It looks like some of the Toy Fair sneaks we saw back in February are starting to show up on retailer websites so it’s okay to share promotional shots here.

The Barbie Look™ 2013
Mattel released photos on BarbieCollector today with a release date for the highly anticipated “The Barbie Look” line. This line is designed by Bill Greening and is considered a follow-up to his highly successful Barbie Basics designs of past years. Mattel says the dolls and outfits will be available at http://www.barbiecollector.com/shop or Barbie dealers on 11/15/12. All Editions are considered Black Label. I am still trying to get clarification as to exactly what “Black Label” means in editions size but my guess is…big enough that there should be plenty of supply on these. I think this new effort from Mr. Greening is fabulous and a natural and stylish sequel to his previous line of Basics.

First Look at Barbie for 2013
Photos are starting to show up on retail sites so I believe it’s okay to share them here. Mattel shared some preview photos of dolls coming up in 2013. If you like Dolls of the World, you will perhaps be happy with the offerings. I don’t know about you guys but….I am getting a little tired of France and Spain coming out again and again. I can’t deny they are cute but it shows up so often it’s making me feel like Mattel is brokering some kind of trade deal with these countries. I mean no disrespect to the lovely countries of Spain and France….just want to see some different ones from Mattel and their Dolls of the World series. Based on early pricing from dealers sites, the Dolls of the World will cost around $25.00 and are due out in December of 2012.

Bill greening debuted the successor to his highly successful Barbie Basics line with The Barbie Look series:
The Barbie Look 1:
Oh my word!!! Is she wearing Missoni??!! She is a Steffie faced beauty with rooted eyelashes. Toooo cute! Priced around $30.00 and due out first quarter of 2013.
The Barbie Look 2:
Very Chic! Uses the Mbili face mold I believe. Priced around $30.00 and due out first quarter of 2013.
Since this new series is all based around “ The Look”, there had to be fashion packs as well….
The Tea Party Accessory Pack
The The Poolside Accessory Pack
The Golf Accessory Pack
The Red Carpet Accessory Pack
Each pack should retail for around $25.00. There is not date as to when these are expected but I suspect it will be the same time as the dolls. Girl has to have her clothes when she arrives right?
