Barbie Fashionistas Petite Crazy for Coral and Curvy Dolled Up Denim (and Red Ruffles) :)

Hello, everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and are enjoying Spring (or Autumn, depending on where you are). :)
Today's post is my review of a few of the new Fashionista bodies for 2016.  These are my 3 favorite Fashionista dolls at the moment so I wanted to share with you some photos I took of them.  I think they are all gorgeous!

Here is a video review I did, talking in more detail about each doll.
I apologize in advance if it's a little hard to hear me, I recorded this with my phone!
Better luck for me next time, lol. ;) 

So here is the packaging for each doll.  They are all pretty similar with the exception of the new Curvy and Petite labels. Each doll comes with a different # and "name" to help collectors identify who is who.
Seen below is Red Ruffles (regular body), Dolled Up Denim (Curvy body) and Crazy for Coral (petite body).

 Out of the box, they are absolutely stunning to me.  I love the colors they used, their skin tone and face scuplts.  I think they are gorgeous!  My only complaint is that besides the Petite girl, it is very difficult for them to stand on their own.  I need to make more of an effort to start adding some stands to my collection!   I hope in the future they also produce Made to Move bodies for each new shape.

First up is the most gorgeous Fashionista of 2015 in my opinion,  Barbie Fashionistas Doll - Red Ruffles . Although I played with Barbies all the time  growing up, I didn't start collecting them until recently.  I didn't really pay much attention to them until the new Barbie face sculpt came out in 2015, which showcased Barbie in a much softer look that was similar to the faces that I grew up with.
Red Ruffles was one of the first Fashionistas I bought as an adult and her face (goddess sculpt??) was what attracted me to her.

 I love all of the Curvy Barbies that have come out already, but she was a "must-have" due to the face sculpt as well.  To me, these represent much more realistic proportions of a real person.  I am an average sized fairly fit person and she looks more like me than any of them!  I love her stronger and curvier looking legs.

ALERT:  a few photos below are of nude dolls comparing their bodies.  Just letting you know in case you find nude dolls offensive.

This Petite girl was the first new Barbie I put in my cart when they were available to pre-order.  I think she is beautiful!  I love everything about her. (And she stands on her own!)

Here you can see how their body shapes and proportions are quite different. 

This is as high as their arms go and as wide as their legs will stretch.  No click knees unfortunately.

Here is Petite next to my daughter's Skipper doll. 

Skipper and Petite have very similar body shapes, but Skipper has narrower hips and thinner legs as well as a slightly smaller bust.  Petite Barbie is made to be a full grown petite woman and not a teenager.

I was surprised to see that her body was very similar to a Disney Fairy!

They can all swap clothes and shoes. :) 

Here are a few clothing swaps between the 3 types.  The regular sized dress fits Petite quite well.

The Petite dress fits on the regular Barbie, and is even a little loose.  The regular dress is a little bit tight on Curvy, but workable.

And now a closer look at each face. 

Red Ruffles has a perfect face.  Her eyes look so beautiful against her skin color and her lips are painted the most gorgeous red.  I love her longer style face and nose.  Her hair was a little crispy from gel and needs some work, but I think it will look really nice after a restyle.

Curvy is stunning!  Even though she has the exact same face as Red Ruffles, there is something different about her.  Her face painting is clear and simple and lovely.  Her hair was extremely soft and full right out of the box.  No gel noted and she has lots of pretty light blonde highlights.

Petite is gorgous as well!   Her hair is very curly and I pulled it back so you could see her face a little better.  She has light honey colored eyes and a lavender color lip.  She is so cute.

Crazy for Coral definitely has a Skipper face sculpt which is beautiful!  

Here's one last look at each of these beauties. 

Doll 24 Crazy For Coral - Petite (renamed Honey) 

 Curvy Dolled Up Denim (renamed Raina) 

Regular-sized Barbie Fashionistas Doll - Red Ruffles (renamed Asha) 

In my little world, they are three sisters (the tall two are twins) and I'm excited to continue to take photos of them as I begin to rekindle my love of Barbie!

I hope you enjoyed the review and photos.
What do you guys think of these new Barbies and the new body styles?  I absolutely love them.  There is no drama from me as far as going into any deeper meaning.  My daughters love them as well and my only hope is for more articulation down the line.
For now, Asha (Red Ruffles) will be getting a donor MTM body as soon as I find the courage to pop off her head!

I hope you all have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

I purchased my Barbies at Walmart and www.barbiecollector.com
At Walmart Red Ruffles was about $7.99
At Barbie Collector the Curvy and Petite were $9.99
You can also find them on Amazon, but they seem to be priced higher at the time this post was written.
