Enchanted World of Fairies

      One of my favorites from the collectible lines was the Fairy of the Forest and the Fairy of the Garden. I was sad only two dolls were produced in this line because these dolls were freaking GORGEOUS!
     The first doll was a lovely fairy, which if memory serves, was the first Barbie sculpt to have pointed ears! She was dressed in shades of blue and purple with gold accents. She was a redhead and her wings were shimmery shades of blue, purple and lavender. She was my favorite of the two.

     The Fairy of the Garden was dressed in pink with shades of gold. She had smaller wings than the Forest Fairy and she had pink booties where the Forest Fairy was barefoot. This fairy had blonde hair, which was pulled back from her face, allowing her ears to show.

      I wish at least one more doll had been released for this line as the Enchanted World of Fairies has more than just in the forest or the garden, but I'm happy they at least put these two lovely ladies out!

You're A Wonder, Wonder Woman!

      Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice marks the first time since her introduction 75 years ago Wonder Woman has appeared on the big screen. Having been a fan of Wonder Woman since I saw her on the TV show starring Lynda Carter, this is HUGE for me! I remember sitting on the floor watching the show while my mom combed all of the knots out of my hair, then put it up into two braids. I remember getting the costume for Halloween and the Underoos. I remember picking up my first Wonder Woman comic book (issue #251 at KMart). I remember her re-introduction in 1985 and LOVING the story and artwork, thanks to George Perez, who I was finally able to meet at a comicon years ago. I remember getting excited she was going to have another TV show on NBC, but then it never aired. I did see that un-aired pilot and while it had some good parts, a lot of it wasn't so good. I remember seeing the first Wonder Woman Barbie and was so excited to get her! So it was with great pleasure I was finally able to see her on the big screen! I was in AWE! It was AMAZING! I LOVED it and cannot WAIT for her own movie to come out next year!
      I am ashamed to say I only have two Wonder Woman dolls, the original Barbie and now the Batman V Superman version. I would LOVE to get the Tonner dolls, but have to save up TONS of money to get them. I am also on the search for the other Barbie versions of Wonder Woman. Heck, I may even get the not-so-pretty versions released for the TV show, but once again, I have to save my money to do so. 
      Without further ado, here is my original Wonder Woman Barbie in all of her glory!

     I love this new Wonder Woman doll! I love the posability of her as it looks like she uses the new Made-to-Move body. I love the sword and shield, the costume, the whole she-bang! This doll is awesome...or should I say "Wonder"ful!
