REVIEW: Jakks DC SUPERGIRL

Supergirl was also not my favorite, but honestly, it's hard to compete with Harley and Ivy. They're so nostalgic. 

I was definitely won over by that smoky eyeshadow. Without that, I'm not sure I would have bought this doll. 

No eyeshadow here.

She has my least favorite outfit and boots, but there's something about her that I still like. 

Am I just that much of a sucker for a smoky eye? Is it the upcoming movie version, which I like, that made me want her more? Quite possibly to both. 

She had the most gel, but it washed out quickly. 

The cape though. I think this is the best done doll cape ever. Again, I don't love that they punch holes in it for displaying in the package, but this material is stronger than Ivy's so it's less obvious. 

It's a nice, heavy cape. Very dramatic. And I like that it velcros on spots on her shoulders. 

Very pretty. 

Okay, Krypto as a purse was a choice. 

Not a choice I would have made. I wish he was just a dog. She didn't need a purse. 

He's flocked and cute, but it's still kinda weird, you know? 

The cape really brings her together. 

So yeah, A+ to this doll line. There are definitely some tweaks I'd make, but they're very minor. I hope we see many more characters in the future. They've got to do Wonder Woman and Batgirl. I feel like they're obvious choices. I'd love to see ones we never got in DCSG like my beloved Miss Martian or Star Sapphire. Oh, Big Barda! Zatanna! Killer Frost! Yeah. So many options. 

Jakks seems to be throwing its hat in the ring as a pop culture doll maker, with this line, Scooby Doo and the horror one coming up. If they're all this good, my wallet is ready.

REVIEW: Jakks DC CATWOMAN

Another awesome Batman villain that I grew up with. 

I'm not a DC reader, so I only really know a few versions of Catwoman. Michelle Pfeiffer. 90s animated. Both DCSG ones. The other live action movie versions. So I have no idea which elements of which versions this doll was inspired by, but I do like her. 

I have to admit I was least interested in her though. 

However, as soon as I saw her without the mask, she won me over. 

Gorgeous makeup, a fun expression, and heterochromia!

Love these boots. 

Cute earrings. 

Such sass. 

The mask and ears are connected, so the fit is a little awkward. 

Still cute though and this way she can easily wear both pieces without them bumping into each other. 

She's not my favorite but she successfully won me over and I really like her now.

REVIEW: Jakks DC HARLEY QUINN

I have to do Harley next! 

Another character I love in every doll form. 

Side of the box. 

They did make her quite pale, though not chalk white. 

She's so cute. 

I didn't undress her to really look at the outfit, but you can easily see all the details even without me taking the jacket off. 

Two different bracelets. 

I like how they did the bows, so they're not actual ribbon around her pigtails. Much easier to deal with. 

She had gel on her bangs tendrils and the tips of her pigtails. Easy to wash out. 

Purse. 

Adorable. 

The detailing on these really is fantastic. Excellent makeup, amazing outfits, even the ripped fishnets! A lot of care went into this line.

REVIEW: Jakks DC POISON IVY

I was not expecting new comic book-themed dolls, so these were an excellent surprise. 

The ladies are made by Jakks and cost $39.97 each. Currently only at Walmart. 

I didn't do any measurements or body comparisons, because they've been done so well already. 

Love the box art. Ivy in my head can either be a regular skintone or green. I grew up with her in the 90s cartoon, so she was never green then, though I do also like the green skin. 

Absolutely stunning. I love my Mattel Barbie Poison Ivy and DCSG's, but this one is also stunning and a different depiction. One of the great things about comic characters is that they've been around for so long that many have had different looks over the years and they don't have to look only one way.  

This line has the cutest little faces!

The hair had a little gel in it at the ends and the two strands that were in front in the packaging. 

I like the shoes. 

Love the subtly patterned stockings. 

All the details are so nice. 

Her little purse opens. 

She holds it fairly well. 

Overall, I love most everything about her. 

I love how they did the cape, but I do wish companies would come up with better ways to display capes in boxes. She's got holes in the material from the plastic tabs. There simply must be a better way! 

She did come with a stand, but I didn't like it. 

Those are my only two nitpicks though. The doll herself is perfection.

REVIEW: Bratz Sassy Stampede SASHA

While I'm not normally into Western themes, I do have some fun older Bratz that are Western. There was something I liked about this Sasha, so I added her to a recent Amazon order. 

 

The hat is horrible, cheap, thin plastic. They could have done better.

I had to wash the gel out of her hair, but it came out nice.

She's super pretty. 

Awesome outfit with great colors, pretty face, lovely hair color. The quality of the hat is my only complaint.

REVIEW: TLS Glitter 'n' Gold JEM

I wasn't as excited for GnG as I was for the Holograms, but in person, she's stunning. 

Stickers, ticket. 

Lanyard

I'm not going to do her Jerrica outfit, because she has the pink hair. But you can see the skirt, comb and pearl shoes here. 

She really has the cutest little face. 

Absolutely gorgeous. Adore her.

REVIEW: TLS Jem & the Holograms KIMBER

It took three tries, but I finally got a decent Kimber. 

Stickers

Lanyard

Stand, comb and keytar

She's gorgeous. 

I think Aja is still my favorite, but she's a really close second. 

Unlike the vintage doll, she actually gets a shirt. 

I'm not trying to replicate her box art pose.

Yep, lovely. 

I'm happy to finally have all the Holograms together. As much trouble as this company is, I hate to say it, but I really do want them to keep producing these characters.
