12/6/2023 0 Comments Made to move barbie skin tone![]() ![]() Being a horse lover, I simply can’t resist the unicorn cuteness! I love Unicorn Magic’s fairytale hair and charming smile, but it’s the outfit that really excites me. But I promised no Barbie bashing so that’s all I’ll say. I’m not saying every Fashionista must be Made-To-Move, but they ought to at least have elbows and knees. I have no problem with dolls who have basic articulation, especially mini dolls however, I feel Mattel could (and should) do better for Barbie. Each one counts as a single point of articulation. Add those together (including her head) and you have five points. The shoulders count as two points and the legs count as two points. How To Count Points Of Articulation: Each joint is as a single point of articulation. Rotate their legs forward and backward at the hips.Lift their shoulders to the side and swing their arms to the front or back.They can turn their head from side to side.We’re just going to cover what she can do and leave it at that.īarbie Fashionistas have five points of articulation: I went into this knowing Fashionistas have little articulation, so I won’t harp on her lack of joints and how much I dislike them. ![]() Her hair is completely straight and layered in the back. This Fashionista has lavender hair with aqua highlights and strands of sparkly tinsel woven throughout. Her skin is quite pale with a tinge of pink, but we’ll talk more about that later. She has grey-blue eyes with brown eyebrows and wears mauve colored lipstick. Unicorn Magic is an original Barbie and is 11 1/2-inches tall. Wow! I’m going to refer to her as Unicorn Magic for now but, rest assured, she will have a new name by the end of the review. This doll is “ Original with Purple Glittery Hair” on Mattel’s website but on Amazon she’s called “ Unicorn Magic“. So, let’s get on with the opening! Meet Unicorn Magic: On the back is a picture showing the other dolls released this year, and that’s about it. She comes in a plain black and white box, which is understandable since Fashionistas are budget dolls. This Barbie Fashionista is doll 88 also known as Unicorn Magic. On our next shopping trip, I stopped by the toy aisle (a usual habit) and, as luck would have it, there was Fashionista 88 sitting on the shelf waiting for me to swoop her up. It was love at first sight! With that sparkly blue hair and unicorn t-shirt, it looks like this doll just stepped out of a fairytale (and I’m a sucker for fairytales)! Even though she has zero flexibility, her charm alone seemed worth the $7 (plus I intend to give a minor upgrade?). However, one Fashionista won me over and convinced me she was worth adding to our doll family. So, I stick to admiring the New Crew from afar and spend my money on dolls with better articulation, such as Disney and other character dolls. I can’t afford to pay $7 for each Fashionista then another $20 or $30 to give her an articulated body! Yes, but Made-To-Move Barbies are hard to find and often overpriced thanks to doll scalpers?. One look at those unbending limbs takes away any desire I have to own one. Seriously, I’d have a lot more Fashionistas in my collection if it weren’t for their hard, plastic bodies. What holds me back? Their cheap, unarticulated bodies. Their diversity and uniqueness are amazing, and I get the urge to buy one every time a new line is revealed. Oh, I love Barbie! I just don’t love some of the changes made to her in recent years. Well, that’s because I don’t collect Barbies. I’ve yet to review an actual Barbie, and the doll clothes I buy or sew are always for a Disney or Ever After High character. I’m sure you’ve noticed my doll collection revolves mostly around Disney and Ever After High.
