News Bites: New book, Fashionistas, Sandi Holder's new auction, and MH

Posted by Bethany in PA on 2/27/2026, 4:41 pm

Also from Strange Doll, a peek at the new Fashionistas:

Monster High Morticia (already available in Europe) will release on March 5th:

Friday, March 13th will likely see the release of the MH Skullector Coraline:

And finally, tomorrow, Saturday, February 28th, Sandi Holder of Sandi Holder's Doll Attic is going to release information at 9am Pacific regarding the auction and sale of what's being billed as a "once in a lifetime, make your jaw drop, Barbie fever dream" collection. There have been several online guesses as to whose collection it will be. I have my suspicions but don't want to say say until we know for sure. If it is who I think, she's a HUGE collector of Japan exclusives and prototypes, among other things.

There is rumored to be enough "stuff" to both have an auction and attend an upcoming NBDCC (NOT this year though!) to sell it all.

Thanks Bethany.

Coming to you from Strange Doll's FB page....

I have no idea who this person is (other than a fashion illustrator and author that I haven't heard of), but apparently she did another book on Barbie:

Barbie A Fashion Icon 🩷
Megan Hess
The world of Barbie 🩷
Megan Hess x Barbie Collaboration
