She has a new face sculpt with a rooted platinum ponytail, and is wearing a darn cool Lagerfeld style black jacket, white men's shirt with French cuffs, black cravat, and black fitted jeans. She also includes fingerless gloves, a bag, glasses and ankle boots.
If you're sad you missed her--since she sold out in under an hour--you can still pick her up from collectors who apparently changed their minds and would rather be swimming in cash. On eBay, she is going for about $1000 (only five times her original price), and Marl & B has one available for even more, $1999, ten times her original cost.
I try not to say this on my blog, but in this case, I just can't help it: holy shit.
The photos are property of Mattel.
Just crazy! I don't think there was anything accidental about the collectors selling her for the inflated price. They didn't change their minds, that was their intention all along!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sure you're right. I was being a little facetious in my post--hence my disrespectful tagging, as well. :) But again, I probably just am a little sour because I didn't get the chance to do the same thing! Lol!
DeleteLet's call these buyers what they are: Scalpers.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what the point is of being a Barbie club member if we don't even have a real shot at buying these dolls. At least Integrity has a lottery system. I guess I'm "sour," too. ;-)
