Raquelle Collection

Raquelle has definitely become better than Barbie. For those who don't know who Raquelle is. She is the Asian friend of Barbie who was introduced near the end of the Fashion Fever line. This was before my collecting started so I don't have any of her.

2009 started the era of the Fashionistas. Raquelle was only introduced to the Fasionistas in 2012 in the what is known as the Clutch Wave 1 (please excuse the photos, This was when I first started and my photography skills were not the best) My box arrived in the mail a bit damaged but I didn't mind she was going to be taken out anyway.

Here is a Pic of the other boxes of this wave. I really liked these designs and how the boxed matched the dolls. The first Teresa box is actually from Clutch wave 2.

 Here are the dolls I have from Clutch Wave 1. I am missing Nikki

The next Raquelle I added to my collection was this Raquelle that I called Mari

She was the line from the Fashionistas that came with a pet.

The Next Raquelle was Katrin. She is from the Movie Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2. The Chinese Ambassador Mermaid. I rebodied her on Fashionistas Clutch wave 2 Raquelle body.

Here Clutch Wave 2 Raqullle who dontated her body to Katrin. Looking at her now she might have to give her body back. but we will see.

 

The next Raquelle to join my growing army was the Raquelle from the Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse. Based on the web series of the same name. She is my Favourite Raquelle. I love her rooted Eyelashes and facial expression.

The Latest Raquelle to join the army is the Fashionista Glitter Raquelle. I am going to remove the tinsel in her hair as it just annoys me and I think she will look better without it.

Well that is all my Raquelles for now.

Until  next time

TTFN

Christmas Happiness!!

My Beyond Awesome Fiance not only got me Glitter Raquelle but also Surprised me with The Disney Store 17" Singing Ariel.

There is no Disney Store here and shipping such a big doll from the US is a killer.
So She was unobtainable for me. As much as I wanted her I just couldn't get her. So she was one of my Grail dolls (Dolls you want but know you will never get).

But my sneaky Fiance managed to get her for me. He had a friend who went to Germany in November on Holiday and She brought Ariel back for me. He hid her in the Garage as he knows I won't go there because there are spiders (**shiver** spiders) So I had no Idea when he pulled this massive box out on Christmas. I was completely Surprised!!

I am so Happy to have her. I haven't taken her out the box yet. I want to make her loads of dresses I already have some designs in mind. I also want to try see if I can make some shoes too.

My Fiance is definitely the BEST man in the entire Universe!! sorry to all you other guys...but it is true ^-^

Here is a quick pic of them both. I will do a review on The Disney Store 17" Singing Ariel. I will also do a Raquelle Collection in my next post.
