My Walmart is notorious for not discounting dolls for a very long time when other stores have gotten rid of theirs and have newer styles in. However, when they do finally do a discount, it's a good one. I've been hoping for this one to go down as they have had it at $49 since they arrived. However, today, they finally put her down to $27 so I snapped her up for my mini collection of white-haired RH dolls. Everywhere else online she was at 32.99 and that was without shipping. I think I need a new shelf just for the white-haired dolls now.

I LOVE the contrast of the silver white hair against her dark skin, she's so pretty.

My Walmart has the same problem. Both of them! They never discount either. She’s a gorgeous doll though.

I just bought a DDDy body for my poor Dollfie Dream head who has been without one for like two years now. lol

And my Fairyland order from DDE finally shipped!

Amazon had white-haired RH Roxie Grand for a killer sale price. So I ordered it.

Okay 'I can spot vintage Barbie a mile away' lady bitching about condition I'll just take that stuff with the Francie tag. Bald Barbie not in good enough shape for you? Silly old me who knows how to reroot will take her. Not going to tell them you can clean that case up with soap and water. Most of it just needs a little TLC and looks no different than if it had been in the family all these years anyway.

I got all for $40.

Wait until you see it after the clean up. And that's the touring Ballerina Barbie. I thought something is wrong with her because her crown doesn't activate a mechanism, I think the lady has her confused with the twirling ones from the 90s, but she's in the best shape aside from slightly sticky legs. Tara's face and body don't match so she'll get a swap if I keep her.

I'm considering going back late Sunday for leftovers, loose heads etc, but I think I got all I really wanted. Some nice Dawn stuff and this jointed little 6" doll I've never seen before but she just needs to be strung.

*Went back, picked up all the Barbie and co clothing, a few clones missing a piece or two, basically a giant tote bag full and a dark skinned baby doll to give to the special needs neighbor. Ballerina Barbie's slippers are somewhere in the pile of shoes.

Final haul. The boots to the red Barbie cape are in the shoe bag. A couple of them might only end up with their heads being salvaged. I haven't even started on the clothes. The one needing restringing is marked Mego. One of the Dawns is a clone but not a Rockflowers. There's a full Sunshine Family and a separate girl. Totally forgot I even put that Ken in my bag.

You say that because you don't have to wash all those dolls, lol.

Thanks.

No one smells or anything, they just feel like they were touched with dirty hands. It's reminding me of my sister's dolls that I tried to clean.
