MGA's Miniverse is expanding rapidly (which is very MGA of them). In addition to the Lifestyle and Cafe/Diner balls, there is the kitchen and two new play packs: Ice Cream Social and Pizza Party.

They're on preorder for about $20. There are about 4 items to complete in the Ice Cream Social pack, but they share components and there are only two bottles of resin between them all and I think you get two pizzas, so I'm honestly not sure this is a better value than getting individual balls. The bonus? is a cardboard box.

The multi-pack is still a decent value vs individual balls, though, at $30 for 5 complete sets. This is a great option if you want to try out lots of different types of the food kits without having to risk dupes.

@cosmomoore found this on MGA's website and I'm very excited by it:

Except for the price, of course... Oof.

MGA's Miniverse Make It All You Can Eat

Meet MGA's Miniverse, Make It Mini Food! The only mini collectible that you can PREP, SET & DISPLAY. Each ALL YOU CAN EAT pack comes with mo

That hasn't hit Amazon, yet, so no affiliate link there.

I can't really tell how many food kits you're getting to make a comparison of value vs the balls, but you do get a really cute display and storage case and look at those little crates!

I have to admit, though, that I don't understand the black and white furniture thing they're doing with miniverse.

You could probably DIY something similar with a bead storage box.

I had the day off so I got to play dress up! Finally!!

Fashionista 182 quickly becoming my new muse 💕 I wanted to use her as a "Barbie as Briar Beauty" and stick to pinks and such but anything you put on her looks incredible.

"Briar" is wearing:

Sheryl Meyer's main outfit skirt/dress and belt

Loves.Glam shoes from the Fail Fix doll line

and, the most precious item in all of my doll collection, a 1991 Disney Classics Cinderella's puffy sleeve top. I love Selkie dresses and I'm so happy I ever managed to save this top for all these years. It's older than me!

I'm still trying to get a hold of the whole doll photography thing but at least that mousepad repurposed as a doll rug was a great find!

Mary Poppins “Jolly Holiday” Inspired Blythe

Blythe a Day December 2023 for: Mary Poppins

♫ "Oh it's a jolly 'oliday with Mary

Mary makes your 'eart so light!

When the day is gray and ordianry

Mary makes the sun shine bright!

Oh, 'appiness is bloomin' all around 'er

The daffodils are smilin' at the dove

When Mary 'olds your 'and

You feel so grand

Your 'eart starts beatin' like

A big brass band!

It's a jolly 'oliday with Mary

No wonder that it's Mary that we love!" ♫

Since July is the Disability Pride Month and the Barbie Movie Month, here's my collection of Barbie dolls with disabilities.

Mattel has been adding disability representation to their doll series since 2019. So far we've had at least 6 Barbie dolls in wheelchairs, along with 2 Kens and 2 Chelsea dolls (little kid sized dolls).

There are 4 Barbie dolls and 1 Ken with prosthetic legs.

There's a doll with hearing aids, and a doll with Down Syndrome designed in association with National Down Syndrome Society.

There are also dolls with conditions like Alopecia and Vitiglio.

Mostly they come out in the Fashionistas line, but sometimes they also crop up in other thematic series, like "You can be anything", and so we had a Para-alpine skiier and an Interior Designer with a prosthetic leg.

There's also a doll honoring Helen Keller from "the Inspiring Women" series.

And in the clips from the "Barbie" movie, you can spot a Barbie in the wheelchair dancing along with others at Barbie's party.
