Ever After High 2 Pack Sighting at Target

Guess what was on the shelf  at Target today...


We made a quick stop at Target today, and while we were there, of course, we had to check out what was new on the shelves of the dolly aisles.  We were surprised to find the new Ever After High 2 Pack with Ashlynn Ella and Hunter Huntsman.  Also on the shelves were Briar Beauty and Apple White, but we picked up those girls months ago at Justice.  It was so exciting to see Ashlynn and Hunter in person for the first time.  Target's price was $34.99 for the 2 pack.  Once I was home, I looked them up online and noticed that they are only available for pre-order on both Target and Amazon.  Their actual release date is 10/27/13.  So just a heads up to start looking for these at your local Target now if you haven't already found them.

Here's a closeup of the lovely couple.

 
They are posed so cute, arm and arm, in their storybook box.  Ashlynn wears a floral print dress with sheer aqua sleeves, matching shoes, and a gold clock face purse.  Hunter is wearing a green top, tan pants, and a brown leather-look hooded vest and a matching messenger bag.

Ashlynn is the daughter of Cinderella and Hunter is the son of the Huntsman.  These two want to live Happily Ever After, but there's just one problem... Ashlynn is expected to marry Prince Charming, not a Huntsman. After all, Ashlynn is a Royal and Hunter is a Rebel.

We also picked up the Ever After High book, The Storybook of Legends by Shannon Hale at Sam's Club last weekend.  This is a lovely hardcover book with raised embossing.  The list price is $14.99, but Sam's price was only $9.18.


Inside the book, all the pages are trimmed with a pink and purple border with flowers and leaves.  It's a nice size book with over 300 pages and 29 chapters.


So, what do you think of this cute couple and the rest of the Ever After High line?  Will you be adding them to your collection?

Cute Animal Hats & More New Doll Accessories

Wal-Mart has some new additions to the My Life 18" Doll Accessories line.  There are four furry new animal hats.  These adorable little hats will fit American Girl dolls, the Madame Alexander My Life dolls, and other 18" dolls.  They are just 3.99 each.

Wolf

Cheetah

Panda

Owl

I decided to buy the owl hat to see how well it would fit my American Girl dolls.  The owl hat has embroidered eyes and nose.  Samantha wore it to school today. 


Here's a close up of the owl hat.  It fits Samantha very well.


The back of the hat has furry little owl stripes.


Doesn't Samantha look cute?


Learning about animals at school is fun.



Target has also added some more new Our Generation 18" doll accessories.  These new sets are all 6.99 each.


"Plaid to Meet You" comes with a plaid school bag, a pen, and a laptop.  I definitely need to get this one to go with Samantha's back to school outfit. 


"Heart and Sole" comes with one pair of knee high socks with bow, one pair of ankle socks with stars, and one pair of heart tights.


"Shop 'til You Dot" comes with a polka dot purse, a wallet, a key chain, a hand mirror, and a red lipstick.


"Glammed Out" comes with a pink ruffled purse, a pair of glitter gloves, a hand mirror,  a perfume bottle, and a pink lipstick.

 

"Be-jeweled" comes with a jewelry bag, a necklace, a bracelet, and a heart shaped watch.



What do you think of these new animal hats from Wal-Mart and the new accessory sets from Target?    Please leave a comment below.  I'd love to hear your thoughts!

More New Items in Stock

If you've been looking forward to seeing some brand new 2013 items on the shelves, check out your local Target.  I decided to go back to pick up two of the items that I had written about in my last post, What's New at Target, and while there, I found even more new items in stock than just a few days ago. 

 

Hearts 4 Hearts Girls


I was so excited to finally see the new Hearts 4 Hearts Girls in person, right there at Target.  Mosi and Shola have made it to stores finally!!!  They are both really cute and just $24.99 each.  Mosi is a Native American girl with long dark hair and  brown eyes.  I like her boots, but I don't care for the plastic feather in her hair.  The real feather shown on the H4H website is so much prettier, but I guess they thought it might break too easily.  Mosi's boots on the website are cuter than the actual boots too.  Shola represents a girl from Afghanistan, and she has really beautiful eyes.  I decided to hold out however for Lauryce.  She is the next H4H doll that I want to bring home.  Target didn't have her, but from what I've read online, she should be back in stores soon, and I can't wait to find her!

Shola

 

Our Generation


The OG Bicycle was in stock and looking very cute!!!  It's made of pink metal with a basket on the front.  It looks so realistic!!!  I think it would work well as a modern bicycle or an old fashioned style bike.  It's a good cross between the two styles.  This looks like a real child's bike, just scaled down to 18" doll size.  This is not a big version of your plastic Barbie bike.  There were two of them on the shelf at 49.99 each.


One of the items that I had decided to go back to buy was the OG Owl Lunch box accessory set.  Unfortunately, they were all gone.  Just a few days earlier, there were 4 Lunch boxes, 4 purse sets, and 4 backpack sets.  When I went back, there was only one backpack and one purse left.   These are hot sellers, almost all sold out in just 3 days.

10 out of 12 sets sold in 3 days

 

Monster High


More Monster High items were in stock including the Dance Class 5 pack.  


This 5 pack includes they very hard to find boy doll, Gill Weber and another new doll to the Dance Class line, Rochelle Goyle.  Here's a closeup...


13 Wishes dolls and sets in stock were:

Abbey
Twyla
Howleen

Spectra's Party Lounge
Cleo's Desert Frights Oasis

Music Festival dolls in stock were:

Abbey
Clawdeen
Venus

The Mad Science Lab Partners 2 pack was in stock:

Lab Partners - Ghoulia and Cleo


From the Create-A-Monster Line, new items in stock were:

Color Me Creepy Design Chamber

Werewolf
Sea Monster

There was a new locker for 29.99.  There was also a sign about a new doll that will be available on Sept. 13.


A lot of MH dolls are on sale this week, and there's a special offer for a free girl's t-shirt when you buy 2 selected $13.99 or higher Monster High toys.  T-shirt offer and sale prices good through this Saturday, Aug. 17th.


 

Barbie


On the Barbie aisle, Batman and Catwoman caught my eye.  The comic book style artwork on their boxes is  just adorable.  They were priced at $34.95 each.



Batman was especially cute, and the Ken doll underneath the Batman mask looks pretty cute and unique too.



Clearance


I also found some great clearance bargains while I was checking out all the new stuff.  
I got this cute Belle Squinkies set for just $1.48.  These make great toys for 18" American Girls and for the American Girl Mini Dolls too.








I also got this Jasmine Squinkies set for just $0.76.


I got this precious little LaDeeDa outfit on clearance for $2.38.  It is an adorable picnic style dress.  Check out the little ants on the bottom of the skirt.  Too cute.



Coming Soon...


My next post will be a review with lots of pictures of a brand new item that I just got.  Can anyone guess what I got?  (Hint: it's from my previous What's New at Target post).

What's New at Target

I stopped by Target today, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there are lots of new items that were not there just a few days ago.  It is so exciting when new items hit the shelves!  They have rearranged the toy department completely to make room for all the new stock.

In the Our Generation 18" Dolls and Accessories aisle, they have a new Horse Stable.  It is very nicely made of wood with a pretty scalloped roof.  It is a big purchase though with a hefty price tag of $79.99.  Here are some pictures, in case you haven't seen it yet.

Love the scalloped roof
Made of wood with metal hinges
Wooden OG logo on the scalloped roof
Love the metal door handles
Lots of accessories included

Another big ticket OG Accessory is the new OG Kitchen.  The price for this is $61.99.  This is very similar to the silver plastic one they had before, but now it's a red kitchen.  We have the older white wooden OG Kitchen.  I love all the accessories that come with the new red kitchen.

Very pretty tile backsplash

Also new in the OG line are three new accessory sets.  These sets are $6.99 each.  In the picture below, on top is a yellow and pink polka dot backpack set.   On the bottom left is a purple woven purse with a gold handle and gold flowers.   On the bottom right is the most adorable owl lunch bag and thermos.  I may have to go back for the lunch bag - love it!  Each set comes with some other accessories too.



The next aisle had a whole new line of fashion dog dolls called Pinkie Cooper.  These are dolls with human bodies and dog heads.  Their ears can be removed for mix and match hairstyles.  There were three "Runway" basic dolls for $14.99 each including Pinkie Cooper, Ginger Jones, and Pepper Parson.  Pinkie Cooper is the main character (since Pinkie Cooper was the brand name on every box), but I'm really drawn to Pepper Parson's coloring!  I really didn't expect to like a doll that was half human and half dog, but I love their eyes.  Those big eyes remind me of Pullip dolls!   My daughter likes that their ears come off to mix and match much like the Cutie Pops doll's hair.   These are the basic Runway Dolls ($14.99 each)...

Ginger Jones
Pepper Parson
Target also had the Pinkie Cooper "Travel" Line.  There were 3 dolls in this line, and each doll comes with her pet dog.  All 3 versions of this line are Pinkie (no best friends Ginger or Pepper in the travel line).  There is "Pinkie in Beverly Hills", "Pinkie in Paris", and "Pinkie in London".  These sets are 19.99 each.



I found a really great, very detailed review of Pinkie Cooper at The Toy Box Philosopher.   Click on the link to check out her awesome review. 

I mentioned Cutie Pops dolls earlier, and I wanted to add that the Target here recently put all the Cutie Pops on clearance and sold them all out.  As of today, Target had no new Cutie Pops dolls.  They are completely gone from the shelves.  I wonder if Target will be carrying Cutie Pops anymore???


Something else new at Target were the Disney Princess and Me dolls.  These 18" dolls are $39.99 at Target.  I've only seen them in the past at Toys R Us.  Target had Ariel, Merida, and Cinderella in stock.  There was also a tag on the shelf for Belle and Rapunzel, but those were not in stock yet.





On the My Little Pony aisle, I got my first look at the Equestria Girls by Hasbro.  They were priced $12.99 for the basic dolls and $19.99 for the deluxe versions.  These are kind of like Pinkie Cooper, except they are part pony - part human.  I read a great in depth review about Equestria Girls at Confessions of a Doll Collector's Daughter.  Click on the link to read her awesome review.  I also read on Beastsbelle's blog that she is planning to review two of the Equestria Girls dolls this week, so be sure to read her review too at Never Grow Up.

Equestria Girls Rainbow Dash


There is an adorable new LaDeeDa doll called Pop Art Dee for 19.99.  She is dressed in a really cute pop art comic book fashion.  My girls have several LaDeeDa dolls, and I love their big eyes.  Pop Art Dee is really cute.




The Monster High section had been completely moved to the aisle directly across from the Barbie dolls.  A few of the 13 Wishes dolls were finally in stock at Target.  They had 13 Wishes Twyla, Howleen, and Lagoona.  Still no Gigi Grant though.  They also had 3 new MH plushie pets.  Frankie's dog - Watzit, Draculaura's bat - Count Fabulous, and Clawdeen's cat - Crescent were all 9.99 each.




There were two new Mini Lalaloopsy's from The Wizard of Oz.  "Dotty Gale Winds" as Dorothy and "Tinny Ticker" as Tinman.  These two adorable minis were $6.99 each.

Wizard of Oz Mini Lalaloopsy's


Finally, this big Lalaloopsy is not new, but I had to take a picture of her anyway.  We only have Mini Lalaloopsy's so far, but if I ever get a full size Lalaloopsy, it would probably be this one.  I love fairy tales, and this big Alice is adorable...

Alice... not new, but still cute


What's new at your Target?  Have you purchased or are you planning to purchase any new items?  What are your favorites?  I'm not much of an impulse shopper.  I usually have to think about it for a while before I buy.  My favorite new items that I'm thinking about are the OG owl lunch bag with thermos, the Pepper Parson doggie doll, and hmmm... maybe the mini Lalaloopsy Wizard of Oz dolls.  I'd love to hear your opinions!!!  Post a comment below and help me decide.
