Finally we have some decent photos of the second Stevie Nicks doll from the Bella Donna album cover shoot.

On the Mattel Creations site, she's a Club 59 exclusive and goes on sale tomorrow, October 21, 2025, at 12:00am ET / 9:00pm PT. So for me, midnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning. You're killing me, Mattel!


















The Debbie Allen dolls are starting to arrive. Got mine from Amazon and while I don't love her as much as the prototype, I do like her quite a bit.







With these releases, that leaves two more "big ones" for Mattel this year that we know about and were previously teased - the Barbie x Monster High crossover and the Starry Night MoMA doll. There are likely others coming but they weren't teased at convention this past summer, so who knows what they might be - if any?

If you were lucky enough to get one of the Alien Monster High dolls, they are starting to ship. Mine arrives tomorrow though I know some have been put on "back order" with a much later delivery date.


Finally, Mattel is starting to issue refunds if you decided to cancel your Barbie The Movie campfire giftset. I canceled mine because I'm just not as into it as I was when I saw it in Palm Desert. Did these dolls have production issues? Were they on one of the containers rumored to have sunk into the ocean? I don't think we'll ever know but in the meantime, my refund will be in my bank account in 3-10 business days and I'm happy with that.
