When I wrote my initial review of the Ruby Red Fashion Friends back in April of 2022, I figured I'd said everything I wanted to say on the subject. I really enjoyed spending time with Jennifer and Scarlett, but didn't really have much desire to purchase any more of the Fashion Friends; a bit because their larger size is hard to accommodate, and also because the price of each doll is pretty high. I didn't want to get sucked into another expensive corner of the doll collecting world.
But then, a few months ago, I got a promotional email from Ruby Red Fashion Friends announcing their "biggest clearance event ever!" I get a lot of emails like this, most of them dismissible, but this one wasn't kidding. The 15-inch Fashion Friends, who typically retail for $129, were all on sale for $49. Insane, right? I could basically get three dolls for the price of one...which I did (insane, right?). I think there was a Ruby Red collector in me all of this time, just dying for an excuse to indulge.
Propelled by the exhilaration of welcoming three new Fashion Friends into my collection (Sara, Kayla, and Stella), I spent a fair amount of time online searching around to see what else the brand had produced over the last two years. This research led me to the most exciting discovery of all: there are now miniature versions of a few of the Fashion Friend characters! And you know how much I love miniature versions of things.
