I’ve always thought, as a Barbie (er, Mattel) exclusive board, that there should be more “news” >>

Whenever I hear about a new doll I come here first to find out if info has been shared or posted. I don’t usually see anything, so then I have to either login to the Mattel Creations site or try and find more info somewhere else.

Photos, on sale dates, announcements, etc.

Collectors often seem to be more about what’s new and upcoming than what we already have in our collections (myself, included).

That sounds like an interesting proposal. msg....

Not sure if I should reply to this as I am in the process of selling off my dolls and haven't posted in a long time. However, I always come here for a daily smile and still love Barbie and always will. Just getting older and time to send my dolls to new homes where they will be enjoyed for years to come. I have a number of health issues so want to declutter my life as much as possible. I love the ideas you have shared. Change can be hard, but it can also be rewarding. Just my thoughts....

NEW COLORS OR FLEXIBLE COLORS WOULD BE FUN. There are so many fabulous non-pink/blue fashions that could be chosen. Posting is always an issue when you do group shots, the bulk of my dolls are Mattel, but it is only the last few years that they are producing NEW and different KENS. So I have a lot of male dolls that aren't Mattel.It would be fun to see other different Mattel dolls, and would love to see Mattel furnishings that collectors might have. Anything that would promote participation would be fun.

NEW COLORS OR FLEXIBLE COLORS WOULD BE FUN.

It must be hard to please everyone and to find the time to manage it all! >

I am so far from a Barbie purist that you can't even see it from here. So I am sure that I'm not the typical member for a board like this. I enjoy playing with my dolls, and often don't post a photo because I have non-Mattel dolls or clothes or props in a shot and have no idea if I am going against the board rules! LOL. I probably am. So I just don't post it. I don't think that comment is truly addressing your question, but I think what I'm saying is that maybe a day when Barbie could interact with non-B/Mattel friends would be nice?
I like your ideas for new themes as well.
Good luck with all this.

As long as we stay Barbie and Mattel only I’m fine with any updates.

I’ve been going through family deaths . Time to step out of the gloom now.

I agree Wandy! I cannot post much because of work and family issues.

I feel the same as Wandy. I am hoping to post more photos this year. Thank you Bethany.

I do like the idea of changing up some photo themes. ( M )

I don't always have stuff that falls into the theme. I rarely take photos of silkstones, although I have some, and sometimes it's fun to try something different. I like the idea of some more weekly themes, still staying with mainly Barbie. I am as guilty as the next person of not posting as much, just because I have so much going on, I rarely get to take new photos. I will try to do better.

It seems there already is a board similar to that.>>

Im a purist and like the current setup. Maybe its because Im into the fashion of Barbie and not the weirder ones. If you want to make a change you could always broaden the scope of dolls covered. Not just Mattel. . Wouldnt those proposed changes drive away those of us who like what Joanne created? JMHO
