All Hail The Queens!

 Hey Gang!

Guess what I came across when I was in Target! I thought they were to be released for another month!

Fresh Fierce Collection Black Panther Wakanda forever! 

Okoye!

The back!

Nikia!

The back!

Malik: The Queens are here!

All Hail the Queens!
Malik: Ms. Leo, when will you let the Queens out of their boxes!
Ms. Leo: They are for my collection and not for  play! They will be going on my doll shelf!
Malik: I can't believe you are going to keep the Queens imprisoned like this Ms. Leo!
Ms. Leo: Malik, I might purchase some to have for play but not right now and I still need to get Suri!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

New Fresh Squad Kahlil and Malik Vs Kahlil Comparison!

 Hey Gang!

I ordered  The Fresh Doll Kahlil  from Walmart .com. I ordered  three dolls to be delivered to my home. Because of his complexion and the price I knew I need more than one! 

Dr. Lisa did a great job! I think at her price point and quality, she might change the doll game. There is a $7.00 difference between Fresh Squad doll and Mattel Made to Move doll! 

This is how they arrived. They were dropped off in a handle bag on my steps. It is a good thing I really wanted these dolls because I tracked them and knew when they showed up on my steps.

With fresh new purple bottom sneakers!

New articulation!

My Malik has been here turning heads for a while! My girl doll think he is one of the hottest dolls I have added to my collection in a while.

I think it was Etienne!

Back to Kahlil and out of the box!


Closeup!
Shorts
The outfit so you can see it. It alone is worth the cost of the doll!
The new sneaker are of a heavier quality than most doll shoes. Go Dr. Lisa!

What else is new about this Fresh Squad Doll!

The elbow joints are new and more articulated.


It is not quite as good as Mattel but it is better than the old Fresh Squad.
Kahlil and Looks body on Fashionista Ken doll head.
The knees have change so that he can cross his leg.

His hair is shinier and fused at the ends to keep it from unraveling!

Warning Nude dolls!

The body has more of a matte finish.
Closer to BMR Green hair
You could swap! I just have the head sitting on the body. I should be pushed down.

Comparing Kahlil to Malik 

Kahlil vs Malik!
Malik is darker.
Kahlil is more pronounced! His hair is shinier, his face paint is darker and his eyes are larger.
Malik has longer hair but Kahlil's hair is thicker.
.
Kahlil hair is rooted to the nape of his neck and Malik hair is only par of the way.
Kahlil head is a solid caramel brown while Malik is a bit more darker and translucent. 
You can see that Kahlil's hair is different shinier and of a different material and tighter.
The hair band is black on Kahlil!
The neck hole is a bit larger on Kahlil.
The neck knob is different too!
Kahlil is a great doll but I am still loving my Malik! I think because of his translucent head, it is easier to move his head to a Kahlil body than vice versa.
Malik on Kahlil body
So that is what I will do!
Sterling will get the old Malik body since it appears to be a more mature body than the AA cheerleader body I had him on.

So on his new body but back in one of his outfits is my Malik!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Update! Fashion Influencer Naturalistas 11.5-inch Grace Articulated Fashion Doll!

Hey Gang!

My doll has arrived! You get the impression from photos and information on the doll that she is articulated.  Grace is poseable with 7 points of articulation but her articulation isn't knees or ankles that bend.

I just saw the Naturalistas 11.5-inch Grace Fashion Influencer Doll! I was thinking about purchasing the Laya doll first because her hair is more like mine now that I let my perm grow out. When I saw this doll and realize she was articulated and had so many accessories, I knew she was for me! She is described as having medium Brown Skin Tone and 4B Textured Hair. I not sure if the 4b is referring to the wigs or the doll. She is also said to be a "Protective Style enthusiast" --translation: wearing wigs, braids or other styles to protect hair from brakeage.

Her Bio Say:

Grace is a college graduate, D.C. native, journalist, and popular social media influencer.  Grace started her career in the newsroom where she was often required to straighten her hair.
(boo,boo! I see a lawsuit!) 
In her spare time, Grace learned Protective Styles to keep her Natural Hair safe from heat damage. Grace now runs a successful social media channel, where she teaches her followers how to properly care for their Natural Hair.

She reminds me of the Jazz Baby Barbie doll with a modern spin!


Like Jazz baby she comes with wigs and a sculpted hair style head!

Here are my photos of the doll and her accessories. The last accessories are the photo light stand, laptop, phone, sunglasses and handbag 




The wigs are like s Liv doll wigs but smaller.



The purse is like you one you might find in any doll line but better quality than a cheap line.
The sun glasses are the the ones you find with the Audrey Hepburn Holly Golightly Breakfast at Tiffany's Barbie.
Here is the phone in comparison to other doll phones sold.

Here is the laptop compared to  to other laptops. Influencer in the middle.



While you can find many of the other accessories sold with other dolls, the light stand is a new item for fashion dolls!


So as I said, she has arrived! Her clothes and accessories are really good! The are to me of the quality of "Old Mattel".

Doll Comparison!

Here is what she and her body looks like out of clothes and in comparison to other dolls!

Her hair is actually sculpted and not just painted on like Jazz Baby.

I am not sure if it can be removed like some of the Ken dolls with sculpted hair.
Her face is super cute!

Now for the body!

As you can see only the arms are articulated

So to compare, I am using these dolls: Made to Move, Chang'e, (the next two doll are on revise bodies) Fresh Doll, and MGA Yasim, and SIS Chandra.

Her torso is smaller and breast are closer together. Legs are longer feet and hands are larger.
Feet and hands are large on both these dolls and they can wear each others shoes. They both have a small waist. The could share clothes.
The Yasim  on the fresh doll body has smaller feet. The fresh doll head on the MGA body has feet close to the size of Infuencer.
All of these dolls have large hands.
The MGA doll and the Chang'e have feet close to the same size for shoe sharing.

Ok, that is my review! Tell me what you think!

OK, Thanks For Looking!
