Riddley Five Zero
Metallic Fashionistas Review
Quickie review of these four... The two Barbies are super cute, I love their faceups and sculpts. Barbie's lipstick is the perfect red and this Raquelle is one of THE prettiest Raquelles in living memory. I like the tinsel strands on their heads, gives the hair some dimensionality & contrast. The girls are very close to the protos on the box. Raquelle's half bodice is a solid piece of plastic that snaps on and off her dress giving her two different looks. Same with Barbie's belt. Both girls are wearing rings, but not earrings and they each have plastic molded purses.The dresses are nicely designed but they’re half patterned like most of the playline Barbie dresses this season. The disappointment for me is that the Barbies torsos do not have bust joints like most of the Fashionistas .They are articulated everywhere else. I would gladly pay a few more bucks for a Fashionista with bust joints but as occasionally happens, Mattel giveth and Mattel taketh away. Ken and Ryan have the usual Ken Fashionista bodies with the straddle hips but no knee or ankle joints. They have elbow and wrists joints however. Ryan’s pants are decorated but only the front pieces not the back. Ryans faceup is very nice and my favorite of the two. Ken’s faceup disappointed the most, since it looks nothing like the prototype. I bought the Barbies at TRU for $12.99 each, the boys were from Target and they were $10.99. I’ve seen the Barbie at Target so far but not Raquelle. So who's thinking of getting any of these?
