are coming out from Mini Brands and Miniverse. I've opened 4 balls of Mini Brands albums (4 each), and the record player and one albums ball (4 each) from Miniverse. I'm expecting the Mini Brands record player at the beginning of July. So far I like the Mini Brands albums best because of the artists included, and the size of the albums - and the inner paper sleeve that vintage albums had and we used. I did have some duplicates, and I think I'll use them to turn into albums of my choice - Beatles, etc. I ended up with 6 out of the 16 balls that I will use as they are. My dolls, of various sizes, will all have music. Here are the Mini Brands albums from 4 balls, and the Miniverse record player and ball:
The only album out of these 4 that I want is the Elton John. There are two more in the Miniverse lineup that I want, but that's it for that series. I do like the record player a lot, by its looks - I had one that looked a lot like it, back in the early 80s. And I like the bench they include a LOT. I have two active doll rooms right now, so each one will have a record player and albums. The records only work on the player from the same company.
Hope this helps people trying to decide whether or not to try them. When I have the Miniverse record player unpacked I'll post pictures.
I prefer the Mini Brands records and the other player but they aren't compatible :O(
