Hudson Bay is Top Notch

Hudson Bay Barbie arrived a couple days ago.  This set is fabulous!  So well made with so many details.



The watch I saw in the photos did not disappoint.  It's one of the best doll watches I've seen.

Racquel was first in line to try on the outfit.  We were both happily surprised to see the turtleneck is a bodysuit.  

Not only was there a nice wristwatch, but there was a nice gold bracelet, too.

Next, she tried on the skirt with the detachable leather-like belt.  It was at this time she noticed the luxuriousness of the skirt and jacket fabric.

She was very excited about the stocking cap.  Another well made item that fit perfectly.

I hadn't really noticed the fur trimmed hood on the jacket until I got the doll out the box.


The jacket has tiny little frog closures that easily fasten.

Now on to the accessories.  The bag is well made.

Even the small pocket opens and closes.

There are three other small accessories.  A newspaper, a cell phone and a coffee mug.  The coffee mug does not open.

Last but not least, the cute poodle with the removable Hudson Bay doggy coat.  

Again they did a fabulous job on this set.  There is not one thing I could find to complain about.  Not that I was looking for anything.  Definitely worth the $49 I paid for it.  The clothing in this set is on the smaller side and will more than likely only properly fit dolls that are close to the model muse size.

  1. She looks like a great buy, if only for the accessories. I'm tempted, but I'll try to be good. Racquel looks good in the entire ensemble.

  3. I agree with you that her clothing and accessories are well worth the price. She was packaged beautifully, too. I think I have one of those turtleneck bodysuits from another Mattel doll. Racquel looks fab.

    1. Jewell - I agree about the packaging. I felt a little bad taking her out of the box, but I left her in for two days. That was long enough. It's a good thing Racquel has one of those articulated model muse bodies, else she would probably just be looking at this outfit from afar.

  4. Raquel did not hesitate to take those clothes right off of poor Hudson Bay Barbie's back, LOL! I agree, this set is stellar! Raquel does look beautiful in the clothes and accessories.

    1. Phyllis - Racquel had been waiting patiently for this outfit to arrive. She practically ripped it off that poor Barbie. She loves it and it fits her well.

  9. I actually think Raquel looks much better in this outfit than the Barbie! (Hope Barbie can find something in your stash to cover her nakedness, lol). A beautiful set, the accessories are wonderful, & the little poodle reminds me of our friend's dog Hamish :))

    1. FIONA - That Barbie is still naked. There is plenty for her to wear around here. She's waiting to see if I'm going to keep her around. Hamish is a very unique, but cute name.

  12. Wow Vanessa, that set looks really good. I love the fashions on your girl, Raquel. Barbie looks just fine in them, but Raquel REALLY wears them well. The watch is VERY impressive.

    1. april - Racquel thanks you. A couple of my FR ladies are dying to try this outfit on. Racquel is not willing to let that happen just yet. I knew you would like the watch.

  13. I knew you'd like her! The only thing I would have changed on this doll is her hair color. I think she would have looked great with black hair.

    1. TM - I agree. I think the doll looks just fine, but the outfit would have popped more if they had made her a little more unique.
