Twin Babysitter Playset and a Fashionista

I saw this Twin Babysitter playset last week when I visited Walmart.  I was excited to see a new baby set, but decided to wait to buy it.  It was $19.97 and I wondered if I could find it for less.  I did a little research and I think this set came out in June.  Since it hasn't been readily available in the stores in my area, I decided to go back to my Walmart and buy the one set that was there.  I haven't seen an AA set, so I may end up painting these babies.  The doll is not staying.


When the doll uses the spoon with warm water, the babies faces (around the mouth) will change orange for the girl and green for the boy.  Cool water will remove the color. 

The outfit is cute.  No pun intended.

The seats also recline so the babies can see the removable toys better.

The seats can be removed from the highchair.  Maybe they could be used as carseats.

The arms and the legs move.  Unfortunately, the head does not.

The set comes with a fish shaped baby tub. 

This is my first Fashionista from the new line.  I found her at Walmart for $7.94.   Mattel has done a great job with diversity in this new line.  This doll will be my second biracial character.  Jolisa was my first.

  1. Ca-yute!!! I want, I want. Hmmmmm. A twin storyline...I like. And yes, the new fashionistas are nice. I bought an AA and the Asian ones also for $7.94. I'll have to search for the rest of them.

    1. Brenova - I agree! I have a twin stroller set I bought over a year ago, so twins are in someone's future. I had the Asian one in my hand, but for some reason Target was charging $9.99 for her and $7.94 for the rest. I put her back on principle alone.

    2. Target consistently gets it wrong with dolls of color! When will they learn how much business they're losing.

  2. I saw this playset a couple of weeks ago and passed on it. I have a strong feeling that the AA set will come out soon (fingers crossed). The AA doll is cute! I have not seen her yet.

    1. Georgia Girl - I really don't think there will be an AA set. For all the baby sets the AA one came out at the same time. I searched the internet and there isn't one showing up at all. I hope you are right, though.

  3. You may get more than you bargained for with those babies! When daughter Emma was little she had a Sleeping Beauty whose eyes closed with either warm or cold water. All I remember is they closed from the temperature in our no air conditioning/cold as ice in the winter house!

    1. Tam - That is too funny. I will keep my eyes open for wayward dirty baby faces.

  6. Great finds! I love the twins too! Are they the same as your Shay? I also saw that fashionista. Her complexion didn't look as fair in the stock photos.

    1. Ms. Leo - No they are different than the Shay doll. They aren't as big or as flexible.

      Mattel covered a wide range of skin tones in this line. Kudos to them.

    2. Is she going to be Chris's sister. I thought he was biracial so that could work!

      Delete
    3. Ms. Leo - No Chris is not biracial. He's Caucasian.

    4. Sorry, when asked about him in Impromptu Photo Shoot - The Redmonds and The Trotts, he was bi-racial!

      Delete
    5. Ms. Leo - Ohhh, you are talking about Christopher, not Chris. Chris is Kara's husband. Christopher is Sylvia's husband. Christopher never goes by Chris. He is named after a friend of mine from years ago.

  8. Great twin babies, I love that their mouths change colour when they "eat" :-). Are you keeping the clothes from the Cute Barbie? Love that shirt! The seat is nice too. Your new Fashionista is very pretty!

    1. Linda - Yes, I'm definitely keeping the cute outfit. Mattel seems to have listened and have really put out some cuter clothes this past year.

  9. I really like the new fashionistas line because, as you said, they bring more diversity to the Barbie doll line. I hope they release some of the new characteres in the Style Luxe line with fully articulated bodies.

    1. monstercrafts - I agree. It would be nice to see some of these new sculpts articulated.

  10. That twin set is super cute. I saw if a few weeks ago and snapped a pic with my phone so I could think about it. I would prefer an AA set, but I don't think it will happen. The last set (baby sitter one) didn't come in AA either. I waited patiently for one to show up to no avail.

    1. Jewell - I don't think this one will come out in AA either. Usually they come out at the same time. My advice on these baby sets is grab them when you can. They come and go pretty quickly. They rarely make it as a clearance item. I have only seen one of these sets in all the Walmarts and Targets I've visited and it's the one shown in this picture. The fact that the babies are different is an added bonus. Have I convinced you yet?

  11. Is that Fashionista carrying a purse or a phone?

    I know the kids are boy/girl, but they both look like girls to me.
