RIP Just Girlz
























It's hard to believe Just Girlz came out two years ago.
The news article.
An interview about the development of the line.
Unfortunately, it didn't do well and was discontinued. I miss the well made Chicas a la Moda dolls that had very pretty facial screening.

Mitchie and Shane single dolls







































































More $3 for-the-fashion dolls. The earrings stained the doll, though. She can keep them. The mic stand doesn't attach to the base at all... sigh.

Kari Mitchell fashions














































I think these sets are new this year. I didn't buy any yet, I think they're overpriced for clone-quality sets.

Elsewhere, people have found singles:

Camp Rock Mitchie and Shane















































I bought this set for the great clothes. I wish Jakks made better dolls, because they have already outdone all the playline Barbie fashions.

Troy and Gabriella
































































Troy's suit is the most offensively cheap fashion I've ever seen from Mattel. They didn't hem the lapel or tie. They just fused the raw edges. He also has loops of hair sticking out of his part.

Prom Date Zeke and Sharpay
















































I don't know or care for anything about High School Musical, but Mattel does make the dolls with better heads and faces than the current Barbie line. At $5 a pair, I went ahead and bought a few sets for the heads.

Even the dolls I cherry-picked have paint problems that were not obvious in the store. Sadly, $5 is about what the pairs are worth, if that. I've seen clone dolls with better quality clothing.
