Robert Best may be best known as the designer of the Silkstone Barbies, but before that, he designed the On Location Model Collection. This collection started with three dolls in 2006, then one more was added in 2007. These dolls came wearing a swimsuit and had two additional outfits with them, one casual and the other dressy. Anyone familiar with my blog knows if a doll comes with additional outfits, I'm sold!
I enjoyed this collection as it was the first dolls I'd bought with the Model Muse body type. I really liked the additional outfits as well since they added a new level to the dolls personalities.
My favorite out of the collection was the Monte Carlo. She is a dark haired beauty wearing a black bathing suit and heels with straps which tied up over her ankles. She also had a red bag to go with her swimsuit. One of her additional outfits was a blue short sleeved blouse, gray skirt, an adorable package of black nylons, red clutch purse and red heels. She also had a metal powder compact and necklace for this outfit. Her second outfit was a dark gray pantsuit with a black top, scarf, black boots and a black bag.

My next favorite was the South Beach. She was blonde and wearing a white bathing suit, white heels with ankle straps and an orange scarf tied around her head. She also had a pair of sunglasses. Her casual outfit was an orange top with turquoise and gold trim, jeans, orange booties and a tan bag. Her dressy outfit was a pale blue dress with a matching bag and blue heels. She also had a metal powder compact.

The final doll for the first year was Milan. She was a dark skinned beauty wearing a silver two piece bathing suit and white strappy heels. Her daytime outfit was a gold blouse, gray full skirt, black sweater, another package of the nylons, black heels and a brown purse. Her nighttime outfit was a white pantsuit with a black top, purse and heels. These were not my favorite outfits, but the doll was gorgeous!

The next year, only one doll was produced. She was blonde with a gray swimsuit, heels and sunglasses. Her casual outfit was a pale gold blouse, jeans, gray jacket and white heels. Her dressy outfit was a pink floral dress, pink heels, pink bag and white and pink sunglasses.

I was sad to see this line end, but I love the line as it is. The dolls were beautiful and most of the outfits were pretty! I love the idea of dressing and redressing your dolls and this fit right in with that idea!
