Toy Fair 2019: Barbie Takes Your Jobs, Rides Your Horses and Babysits Everyone

Toy Fair 2019 Mattel Barbie
Mattel's golden girl in pink isn't going anywhere any time soon. It seems like any time someone challenges the relevance of this multi-millionaire career woman in modern times, Mattel pops out a doll that answers all questions, adds diversity of race and body type, challenges young women to push beyond the limits set by old white men and doesn't forget to have fun. Suffice to say, Mattel's Barbie team are embattled hourly and probably underpaid! Let's take a look at the awesome lineup of amazing Barbie dolls rolling out now, and in the coming months.

Since 1959, Barbie’s purpose has been to inspire the limitless potential in every girl and that message is more relevant than ever. Inspiring three generations of girls, over 200 careers and more than one billion barbie dolls sold, she has stood the test of time. This year, Barbie is continuing to evolve by becoming a more relevant, modern reflection of the world for today’s kids and their families by infusing purpose across all touchpoints including product, content, marketing and more.

Toy Fair 2016: A New Barbie for a New Generation

Mattel recently announced Barbie would be getting a makeover in an attempt to reconnect with children (and  the Moms who pay for them) who saw her model and life as a bit antiquated. New body types, heights and even modified body parts are being introduced to create a more diverse world for the iconic doll...which thrilled some, and confused others. If you ask a little girl to point at Barbie in a room full of people, she's going to walk right up to the blondest, skinniest girl at the ball. That's what Mattel wanted...a strong, recognizable brand. If you then change everything about her, is she still Barbie? ...Or can we expect the iconic white blonde to be leading this diverse army to the toy shelves? WE WILL SOON FIND OUT! Today, we check out what is probably a nice sized chunk of Barbie's new world, along with some Super Hero types that will be giving Hot Toys a run for their money...

DC Comics Girls Makeup Packs


Mark another product line into your "stealth release" logs. Wandering into Five Below always reveals a multitude of pop culture products...some I've seen before and am now ecstatic to find at deep discount...and some I've never seen before and wondered how the initial release slipped past me and allllll the geeks I know...because that's a pretty long list! You see, by the time an item reaches Five Below, we can assume it has enjoyed a wide release with as much or as little fanfare as the manufacturer will allow, then several month languishing on the pegs before the remainder is closed out to our discounty friends. After a bit of research, we discovered this DC Comics Girls line of nail polish, lip ka-balms, lip gloss and press on nails turned up in Walmart as far back as September (or at least that's where it was spotted by Nouveau Cheap Blogspot). Now, in their new home at Five Below, thrifty super women and young ladies can enjoy the line at three dollars a pop.

Downton Abbey Jewelry Available Now

The truth of the matter is, when a company takes on an accessory or jewelry license for a TV show or film, they are often producing products sold fairly cheaply at Target or Khols department stores, so it is refreshing whenever we spot someone going above and beyond to bring fans a little glitter from their favorite show and care to make it look fantastic. 1928 has been cooking up some Downtown Abbey inspired jewelry that remain affordable while looking amazing...

Black Milk Tease Their Hobbits

Among all the things that make it difficult to be a Lady Geek in the world we exist in today...resisting awesome but expensive geek fashion has to be high up there as one of the worst day to day activities. Black Milk can be listed right along Satan as a leading tempter of humankind with their Star Wars dresses and leggings and when they announced they'd be venturing into Lord of the Rings/ Hobbit territory...you could call them downright evil. Today we get a sneak preview of what you can expect from the line...which is probably exactly what you thought you could expect...


See..guys only get tempted by fairly cheap dorky T shirts every day and MAYBE the occasional phaser burned red shirt tie from Anovos. Weep for your sisters! Only through solidarity can we make it through. We shall overcome....hobbit dresses.
