Two More MiniBrands Fashion Capsules

Two additional Series 4 MiniBrands Fashion capsules arrived in July. Purchase-wise, these are capsules 6 and 7.

Since my last post about MiniBrands Fashion capsules, I have ordered two additional capsules. The contents of each capsule are shown and described below. 

Capsule 6

This capsule contained the collector's guide, a quilted light green purse, a gold cuff bracelet, a green paisley-print "silk" scarf, and a pair of brown boots that have a painted floral design on one side of each.

This image illustrates the brown boots and the painted floral design better.

I was excited when I saw the brown boots because I almost purchased them on eBay for more than I paid for the complete, unopened capsule.

Capsule 7

The collector's guide, a faux eel-skin handbag, a kitten that wears removable sunglasses, a pair of light green high-heels with a daisy design at the toe, and a pair of heart-shaped silver earrings were in capsule 7.

The sunglasses were loose inside the package with the cat, shoes, and earrings. Initially, I thought they were made for a doll. 

It was when So-in-Style Trichelle tried on the pink MiniBrands shades that I realized...

...because of the short temples or arms of the shades, they were made for the cat!

Thankfully, I have not purchased any duplicate MiniBrands Fashion capsules. I had vowed that these two were the last ones I would purchase; however, there is a pair of knee-high black boots that I'd like to add to my MiniBrands Fashion collection. Maybe I'll try my luck just once more.

55th Anniversary Christie's Fashion

Waiting to be dressed, an auburn-haired ponytail Barbie clone arrived nude in February 2026.

In 2025, I  began purchasing #1 Barbie-ish clones from China. The last one arrived in February 2026. Sold nude, this auburn-haired ponytail doll is a duplicate of another one that I dressed in the reproduction Barbie Roman Holiday fashion. I had planned to do the same with this doll by dressing her in a fashion that I received as a birthday gift in 2018. That plan changed after my duplicate 55th Anniversary Christie's unboxing. 

Barbie Clone Gets Dressed in 55th Anniversary Christie's Ensemble

The orange wet-look dress fits her well. Her legs are thinner than 55th Anniversary Christie's, which leaves leg room in the boot legs, but they fit well enough.

She wears Christie's "C" letter necklace. In her case, the "C" stands for clone. I added different gold drop earrings because Christie's earrings are glued on.

The floor-length cover-up and gold lamé belt complete this look, and Miss Clone struck a pose.

She assumed another solo pose.

Miss Clone and Christie, who now wears Barbie Basics Model 03's black halter dress and black knee-high boots, posed for this final photo.

They both wear their new clothes well. 

I used AI to deepen Christie's lip color, which I will eventually paint in a similar way.

55th Anniversary Christie Found at Ross

Two Barbie Basics 08, are as seen on a disorganized shelf at a Ross Dress for Less Store.

July and August have been busy doll-buying months for me, but that's the natural rhythm of collecting—buying lulls are alternated with frenzied buying.  

In July, doll collectors began spotting discounted Barbie Signature dolls at Ross Dress for Less for $14.99. I was particularly interested in getting a duplicate Barbie You Create Barbie Basics Neutral Kit 002 for the extra body. I also wanted a duplicate 55th Anniversary Christie for the clothes to redress another doll. I received my first 55th Anniversary Christie as a birthday gift in 2023, which remains NRFB.

I waited over a week before I checked two stores in my area. The toy section was a shambles at the first store, which did not have the sought-after dolls. In the equally disorganized toy section of the second store, I found two Barbie Basics 08 (seen in the 1st picture), but I was not interested in purchasing them. 

A 55th Anniversary Christie is seen in a photo taken by my brother at a Ross Store in his area.

I asked one of my brothers to check a store in his city. He went to three different Ross stores and found my duplicate 55th Anniversary Christie at the second store.  Christie was the only Black Barbie Signature doll available at the three stores he visited. After he sent a text with Christie's picture attached, I immediately wrote back, "I want it!"

My duplicate 55th Anniversary Christie stuns in a bright orange dress paired with a swirling, mod-print sheer overlay, strappy knee-high orange boots, golden hoops, and an initial “C” necklace.  

I will debox her soon.

I haven't decided which doll to redress in Christie's fashion, but having it available when the right doll is chosen is what's important. I am so grateful for a brother willing to look for dolls in his area when I cannot find them in mine. 🥰 (He only lives 30 minutes away from me. I told him not to make a special trip to bring the doll. He replied, "I won't," and he didn't. He brought her to me a week later.)
