TOY FAIR 2020: Part 3

Some quickies before I head to bed.

HAIRDORABLES:

One last bit from Hairdorables! The Hairmazing signature dolls are continuing.

Brit, Rayne, Sallee and Emily are being teased in the art here.

Brit and Rayne have clearly been tanning.

SO EXCITED FOR EMILY.

Awful photo that looks like it's a video still. Maybe a new boy line? I think those are all boys? They're so blurry.

I have an enormous pet peeve about companies bringing trashy prototypes. Do you really think people want to look at a doll with a broken neck? Stupid, MGAE. Truly stupid.

Cool that they seem to be a more normal-sized doll line as opposed to the giantesses we got last time.

The orange girl looks like Mia Monarch from Fantasy Friends, while the blue and purple look like the dolls made in the much larger size.

Now I'm soooooooooo excited for these next ones:

More Fantasy Friends!

Mixed in with the existing series.

Left pic:
-Sunflower blonde
-Very dark-skinned leaf girl
-Green dragonfly girl
-Pink-haired spider goth

Right pic:
-Darkish girl with a succulent on her head. That's what it reminds me of anyway.
-Dark-skinned boy who looks like he should be a faun
-Blonde snake goth
-Egyptian boy WHY THE HELL IS HE BLOND?!!!!!!!

I'm so thrilled to see darker skintones. The first series was very lacking. I do love the Egyptian boy, but I'm very confused why he's blond. Very confused. I will buy all these ones I'm seeing though. Really do love them all.

You can see more of the mini Pixies here. Looks like more than one goth! Yay.

JAKKS MINNIE MOUSE:

DAISY DAISY DAISY THEY MADE A DAISY!!!!!! All I wanted from this line was her. When I was younger, I got the Minnie 'n' Me dolls from the local supermarket and I love them. I still have them. Somewhere. So when I first saw Minnie in Walmart, all I wanted was for them to make Daisy and they did. I need that set. The other three new ones are adorable, too. I may need to go get some of the current ones now...

DISNEY PRINCESSES:

OMG, they did the comfy princesses in the Amy Mebberson style. Might need this.

BOXY GIRLS:

Weird makeup dolls.

Oh, man, I almost completely forgot about one of the main reasons I did another post!

DC SUPERHERO GIRLS:

IVY IS COMING.

And these cute, more poseable casual outfit dolls:

(Yes, that is pretty casual for Zatanna.)

Okay, now I'm going to bed.

TOY FAIR 2020: Part 2

Okay, I finally have some free time when I'm not a work! Now to start getting caught up. I might miss things, because there's a lot, so bear with me.

I had to suck it up and join Instagram (HAAAAAAAATE) to see all the pictures, since my sources are behind.

I hate doing links, too, but it's the only way right now.

HAIRDORABLES:

Hairdorables showed a few new things.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B88wZEynKNw/
Most unimportantly, the fangirl designs continue. The Hello Kitty Rayne is out now, but there will also be a Minions Sallee (ew) and a Trolls Harmony. That'll be the first Sallee and Harmony I skip.

Then we've got an all-boys blind-packed line.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B860bN-nNdj/
I really only want the 2 Ashers.

Some of the girls are getting the "Longest Hair Ever." Rayne, Noah and Kali shown here:
https://www.instagram.com/p/B89NcdqncbV/
And Willow:
https://www.instagram.com/p/B87CoaWnFUV/
These are all passable for me. I hate really long hair and they've done none of my favorites.

Hairmazing is getting a prom line with the same six characters:
https://www.instagram.com/p/B87tGJkn3QP/
On one hand, I'm mad they're doing this and not showing the remaining 9 girls as Hairmazing dolls. On the other hand, these blow away the first series and I'm impressed. Kali's boots are spectacular. I'll probably end up with all 6.

And finally, we've got Series 5, which is themed Hair Art, and continues the plastic box trend.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B85fIuRDiN0/
I've got mixed feelings on these, because some of the outfits are definitely not the usual Hairdorables quality. Emily is the clear standout as best. Harmony looks pretty good. Neila will be great once that ugly thing comes off her head. Kat finally gets an ultra rare, but it's that mess at the end with the full cat mask.

Saige is still there as well. And Phoebe is also, but not one person zoomed in on her. This pic I think was stilled from someone's crappy, too fast video.

That's it for Hairdorables!

Boxy Girls has a new rainbow line:
https://www.instagram.com/p/B84RgkQDyRH/
Those look interesting.

Super 7 is doing JEM and PIZZAZZ!
https://www.instagram.com/p/B89KtuXAR6j/

Bananas are getting a crystal line.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B84gZ7tDItJ/
I think I can skip those.

Funrise is doing a blind-packed fairy line:
https://www.instagram.com/p/B87MkpaDMbn/
I'm not entirely sold, but I do like the purple one.

Here's a new line called Candie's Dolls:
https://www.instagram.com/p/B87-WaGDUjz/
https://www.instagram.com/p/B85gEcojHnh/
Kinda cute! Might get some.

Nothing really exciting Barbie-wise, because no one zoomed in on the Fashionista I like best:

The tiny Asian girl in red and blue.

Hatchimals are expanding their Pixies into some true awesomeness. The Riders are amazing.

Crystal Flyers are neat.

I've got to say I'm most excited about the mini Pixies because there's a little goth girl:

I'm going to end with some Cave Club photos for now. Definitely the most exciting thing about this year's Toy Fair!

OFFICIAL POST WITH NAMES:

Emberly is the palest girl. Tella, like telescope, seems into the night sky. Fernessa is the plant one, as I thought. Roaralai is the sabretooth girl! EEEEEE! My fave. And Slate, the boy artist. And that pet rock. I love it.

We don't know the dinosaur-riding girl's name yet.

Nice shot of Tella:

And some great Roaralai here:

I'm going to end up with them all.

TOY FAIR 2020: Part 1

So as I usually do, I won't be posting pics until we get some useable ones.

I HAAAAAAAAAAAAATE Instagram so much. The pictures just suck.

The biggest news I've seen so far (and admittedly, I've been at work, so I haven't looked much nor will I have time to because I'm a double the next 2 days) has been Mattel's Cave Club doll line.

Here's a link to a page that has no trouble stealing photos from Instagram:
http://www.youloveit.com/dolls/1132-cave-club-new-doll-line-from-mattel-in-prehistorik-style.html

Not sure about scale here, but these remind me of Monster High meets Enchantimals and the Flintstones.

Typical incorrect mixing of species for the time period, but I'll let it go for cuteness' sake.

Looks like we've got some basic dolls and then a couple repeat characters in larger babysitting and cooking sets.

My favorites are the paler girl with pink and orange hair, the sabretooth tiger girl, and the one with similar hair to the sabretooth girl only with more blue. I think that might be a dire wolf with her? I see a moon and star on her belt.

I decided to amuse myself and hit Trademarkia to see if anything jumped out at me. So here are some possibilities:
Rockelle, Flaire, Furrah, Tella, Fernessa, Slate, ROARALAI (OMG love it)
Cave Tots, Untameables

I hope Roaralai is the sabretooth girl! Eee!

On that same page I linked to, I spotted news that there will be two Monster High collector dolls. The first comes out June 1st and will cost $74.99 and the second August 1st at $59.99. Can't really get excited, because the price points are a bit high and I'm betting they're characters I won't be as interested in, like Frankie and Draculaura, as opposed to Abbey, Cleo, Twyla or Toralei.

And again on that page, Harry Potter looks to FINALLY be giving me my Luna doll. As well as Snape for Snape fans and a Harry/Voldemort 2-pack in the Goblet of Fire theme.

Spotted on Instagram were some Disney Princess additions from Hasbro, including Rapunzel (who we've seen for a while), Jasmine and Aurora to the Style Series line.

I hope to have loads of updates as the days pass and time allows. Hopefully Idle Hands comes through with the excellent pics.
