There's been a lot of bleak news in this country lately, but I can usually find good stuff to distract me in the doll world. For example, several new members joined my Patreon community recently, which is really exciting, especially since I haven't had much time for that site since I got a job. But I have a new post in the pipeline, and am very grateful to those of you who've been keeping this blog running for the last four years. Your contributions are invaluable--financial and otherwise. As an example, my newest Patron, Aether, pointed out to me the other day that my List of All Reviews page wasn't working. Sorry about that! I have no idea why the code stopped functioning all of a sudden, and I tried to fix it, but as a last resort I'm in the process of manually entering the links to all of my old reviews. That'll take a while, but should get everything back to normal.
As another fun distraction, I'm here today to take a look at the highly-anticipated new Barbie Basics dolls! This crew is part of a broader You Create line that Mattel released last month. All of the dolls have easily removable heads, which makes this review a nice addendum to my recent head-swapping series.
