It was probably their way to identify the dolls they were selling on their site. Other than the assortment numbers on the backs of the boxes, I am not quite sure how Mattel is identifying the dolls. <br /><br />Carlye Nuera, (designer of the dolls) shared his sketch of #6 on FB. I posted a comment about my doll's hair being flat. His question led me to believe he didn't realize two versions were produced. He asked me if I tried to fluff her hair. No amount of fluffing is going to create curls at the top of her hair. Here's a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=584905828558&set=p.584905828558&type=1&theater" rel="nofollow"> link</a> to the sketch. I wish the production doll actually looked like the prototype. Heck, I would settle for the hair alone. <br /><br />dbg Black Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-17483509753928157572015-06-20T20:01:44.956-05:002015-06-20T20:01:44.956-05:00Congrats!

To top it all off, she is super smart, as seen in the Life in the Dreamhouse videos. I like the look of this doll (and bought her) because of her coloring and bangs, but I prefer the Resort Style version that has articulated wrists/elbows. At least, I'm assuming they are both Grace because they're not Nikki. :-)Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086194748915239386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-7636178884607292132015-06-17T14:10:33.743-05:002015-06-17T14:10:33.743-05:00I have both of them too!

I didn't know that they had numbers. I have rebodied both of my dolls! I like the texture of my #6's hair. I think that Mattel is hedging it's bet by doing both hair textures. With all the complaints about Mystery Squad's Kenzie's hair and many of the AA dolls with natural hair textures doll's hair, they did both textures.

There is at least one in the remaining group that might be coming here. Here's a <a href="http://www.barbiecollector.com/news/barbie-fashionistas-2015" rel="nofollow"> link</a> to a page that contains the head shots of all 23 dolls scheduled to be released, just in case you have not seen them.

Now I know that Barbie historically was created to be a "blank canvas" upon which little girls could project their dreams and aspirations but I'm just not feeling this take on that theme. I thought the original wave of the Barbie Basic collection of dolls was much more inspiring, exciting and diverse (if still a little inarticulate) although aimed at a more mature collector. Even the second wave "Life in the Dreamhouse" dolls were more expressive (I still can't quite get over the raised eyebrow and smirk on the Raquelle of that series). Perhaps it is a return to that original Barbie concept, with a modern twist but when seeing this years Fashionistas I'm a little underwhelmed (though I do like #5 as I will always have a soft spot for a Barbie with bangs ;)).Julius Maloneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006134062866647709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-74392192819967938472015-06-16T00:21:43.941-05:002015-06-16T00:21:43.941-05:00Aww!
