Throwback: My Leyla Muslim Dolls!

These are my Leyla Muslim Dolls which I bought years ago, and I am posting this because when I saw them, I couldn't seem to recall where I bought them. I know that it's not from any online shop, so it's probably from some convention or local stores in my area.

I just decided to write this because a friend of mine posted on Facebook that he's looking for a Muslim doll. People were quick to reply that he should get the  Barbie designed after Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, part of Mattel's  "Sheroes" series. Then, I recommended getting these beautiful Leyla dolls. They are depicted as Muslim dolls wearing two-piece satin Abaya and satin Hijab!  I think they look more authentic! They actually kinda reminds me of the Jenny / Licca dolls from Japan, in terms of their bendable bodies.





I'm actually not sure how much I got them last time, but they are still apparently available online - I saw them at https://muslimdolls.com, and they retail for $29.99 plus shipping! I haven't opened them, and I don't think I'd sell them anytime soon, but it's lovely that Muslim girls could get this doll that actually represents them. I hope to see more of these Leyla dolls, and I may have to research more about the company.

Lucille Ball's Barbie I Love Lucy Sales Resistance Doll 2004 and The Barbie Tribute Collection 2021!

Just because of the upcoming release of "Being The Ricardos (which is a biopic of the one and only Lucille Ball,) I thought of featuring the most recent recreations of Lucille Ball Barbies. They are the I Love Lucy Barbie in 2004, and The Lucille Ball from The Barbie Tribute Collection released just this year!


Here's the trailer of Being The Ricardos which is scheduled to be released by Amazon Studios in a limited release on December 10, 2021, prior to streaming on Prime Video on December 21, 2021.

Barbie I Love Lucy Sales Resistance Doll Episode 45 Collector Edition (2004)




I loved both versions, although 2004 has more nostalgic vibes in it since she's wearing her garb from the 'Sales Resistance' episode of I Love Lucy!


Which one do you like more?
