Li'l News

For Tuesday, June 27, 2006


This news page highlights the latest Kelly and LFoK releases and sightings. If you have any Li'l Friends news to share, email me at karin@lilfriends.net




I have broken up the news page into three categories - klassic Kelly, toddlers and babies, and klones. (Click the links to jump to that section.)

Klassic Kelly News
It is hard to believe how long it has been since I last posted an update! It has been a tough year for me and my family. Fear not, I am back into the swing and ready to share all the latest and greatest news about our favorite li'l doll.

There are many new dolls making their way onto store shelves. It's that wonderful time of year when retail chains start building stock for the holidays. Watch the bills in your wallet disappear quickly...

First up are the two latest 5 pack "Bunch" sets: PJ Party Bunch (J9109) and Holiday Bunch (J9110). Kollectors have reported finding these sets at Super WalMart stores. The li'l miniatures (DVD, coloring book) in the PJ set are especially sweet.

The next animated Barbie story is to be The 12 Dancing Princesses. Kelly and friends are to play characters in the movie as, what else, Dancing Princesses. The dolls will be sold with a wind-up spinning stage. There are three li'l dancers in all: Lacey, Kathleen, and Janessa. All three are available in Caucasian and AA versions. Kollectors have reported finding these sets at TRU and Target.

On the playset front, Kelly will be getting another pop-up playhouse. This time a single Kelly doll will be included. Hmmm... Do I spy a new shoe mold?
Kelly Pop-Up Playhouse is a fun play environment that girls can take on-the-go. Playhouse folds up and has a little handle for easy portability. When girls are ready to play, simply unfold to reveal a multi-dimensional playhouse with four places to play and 360-degrees of play on two levels. On one side, Kelly has a bedroom and playroom with furniture and play pieces that pop right up. On the other side, Kelly can play in the backyard or in her treehouse. Includes a Kelly doll.
