#space station playset

Over the years, Barbie has been an astronaut many, many times, so I am going to preface this by saying this is not an exhaustive list of the number of times Barbie has been to space. But Barbie's space explorer aesthetic has changed over the years and some of these are super interesting!
The original astronaut gear (and the rerelease in the "My Favourite Career" set) was very much informed by the actively ongoing space race. Barbie is packaged with an American flag and a relatively sedate spacesuit.
I mention sedate, because compare that to how the astronaut Barbies looked in 1985, 20 years on from the first time Barbie went to the moon!
Marketed as "packaged with sparkly skirt and tights", Barbie is combining space travel with runway fashion. Can't explore space if you don't look cute!
In 1994, Barbie is no longer dressed in bright pink, though her moon rocks do glow-in-the-dark. Interesting to note that though Barbie has a USA flag patch on her spacesuit on her left arm, the flag she is holding bears her own name and branding.
Come 2013, Barbie is no longer content with merely exploring space or landing on the moon.
In an official NASA collaboration, Barbie is now exploring Mars. Her spacesuit is now a combination of white and pink, though her accessories are now glowing pink.
2020 brought us the space discovery playset. Barbie is now in a muted blue suit with a pink headset but what I really love about this playset is that she has a puppy with her who has his own rocket ship.
Literally look at this guy!!
There is one more particularly interesting Barbie in space that I want to talk about but I will save that for a separate post as this is already enough to scroll past.

DOLLLLLLS IN SPAAAAAAACE!!!
So continuing from last week’s review, we’re going to keep up our review on Barbie dolls. Why? Because the upcoming movie looks so great, so this is how I’m handling my enthusiasm, so I don’t talk my wife’s ear off! This week, we’re looking at one of my personal favorite dolls from the franchise, “Space Discovery Astronaut Barbie!”
The “Space Discovery” line, as you can probably guess from the name, is a line of Barbie products focusing on space. You’ve got space stations, small space ship playsets for child dolls to play in, and even science classrooms focusing on space. That’s a lot of space stuff, and as someone who loves him some space toys, I am thrilled!
The doll we’re looking at today, Astronaut Barbie, comes in two varieties: white Barbie and black Barbie. Both dolls come with the same outfit and accessories, and they both have the same levels of articulation, so let’s dive in!
Each doll is posed standing at attention, with slight bends in their arms. They’ve got the standard Barbie articulation: moving arms and legs, and ball-joint necks. So pretty much what you’d expect from a Barbie doll.
You would not believe how hard it was to get a picture without massive amounts of glare on the helmets.
The dolls have the standard Barbie bodies, like you’d expect. There is one big thing to note here, though. Normally, people think of Barbies as having big arches in their feet, like they’re wearing eternal high heels. In fact, one of the big scenes from the first Barbie trailer puts focus on Barbie’s foot having that arch, and a later trailer makes a big deal out of Barbie no longer having that arch. So considering how much I’ve been talking about the arch in Barbie’s foot, you can probably guess what I’m about to say: “Barbie has no foot arch.” Well, you’d be wrong. What I’m actually gonna say is that the arch, which still present, is slighter than what people would expect.
That annoying moment when you misplace your shoe before work.
This is actually the case with a lot of modern day Barbie dolls. The reason is so your Barbie can wear different shoes and outfits without having to do a different leg mold for each Barbie. While some dolls do have the classic high arch and others have completely different leg designs, this lower arch is actually more common in modern day dolls. So if you haven’t bought the dolls for ages, this could be something useful to know. It also means you can grab most dolls and expect the different outfits sold separately to fit just fine.
The black and white Barbies do have different heads and hair textures/haircuts, which is great. The main thing I want to talk about here is the hair texture. The black doll has softer, curly hair, while the white Barbie has stiffer, straight hair. It’s a huge difference in texture, and leads to one of my few issues with Astronaut Barbie. The blonde hair feels like straw. It’s stiff and dry to the touch, like someone used way too much bleach for too long.
Barbies pose for their company photo IDs.
Now, let’s talk outfits. Astronaut Barbie wears a smooth spacesuit with a very nice amount of detailing on them. I love how the suits look and feel. They’re shiny, smooth to the touch, and covered with detailing that really adds to the look without being too much. It’s the right amount of detailing. The suits also have space program logos on the chests, which is a really nice touch.
Astronaut Barbie has a pair of large, plastic gloves and boots. The gloves have slits down the back to make it easier to put them on Barbie and to let them better go over the sleeves of the space suits, but the slits don’t close all the way and some of the sleeves can stick out of the slits as a result of this. The boots are very thick, which I really like, and even fit under the suit legs. Getting them on and off is a challenge because they are very stiff, which can be a little bit of a pain, but I do love the boots. They have a lot of sculpted details, which look really great will definitely excite kids. Also, the boots are treaded on the bottoms, which helps the doll stand on her own without the need for a stand.
Barbie also comes with a space helmet that’s made of two pieces that clip together over the doll’s head. The helmet looks great, but it also brings us to the second issue I have with the doll. The helmet doesn’t fit tightly over the doll’s head, so it’s loose and flops around. The other issue is from how the helmet clips together. Since the dolls have hair, the hair can get caught in the helmet and stick out of the top and sides. It can take a good amount of fiddling to get the hair completely in the helmet.
Barbie comes with four accessories: a small flag and three astronaut ice cream sandwiches. The flag has a little clip on it that lets Barbie hold it in her hand, but it can be a bit of a challenge to fit the clip on the gloves. I often just wedge it onto the glove’s thumb and hope it doesn’t fall off.
We claim the moon in the name of the Barbie Empire!
The astronaut ice cream sandwiches actually bring us to my third and final complaint: Barbie has no way to hold those at all, so you’re probably gonna lose them like I did. That’s a shame, because astronaut ice cream is one of my favorite things ever. I would kill for an astronaut ice cream sandwich right now, in fact. So delicious.
Behold, one of humanity’s greatest achievements!
“Space Discovery Astronaut Barbie” goes for about $17 and can be found at most retailers. She’s recommended for ages 3+, but do keep in mind that both versions of the doll come with very small accessories that can fit in the throats and noses of both kids and very dumb adults, so use your best judgement there. Would I recommend this toy? Absolutely. Space is freaking awesome, and the idea of a Barbie that explores space is really awesome. I feel like this doll and the theme itself is one that everyone, kids and adults alike, would love. Definitely don’t be afraid to grab this doll. Next week, we’ll be looking at a more collector-aimed doll as we continue our look at Barbie. So come back and take a look at what’s happening! This is JS signing off and wishing you Happy Toy Hunting!

Posted two years ago today! I'm 99% sure this is still the most expensive single Playmobil box ever sold in the USA, although maybe there was some bundle of multiple sets sold in a box somewhere for about the same price.
In the bottom picture you can see it against the Classic Playmospace UFO/Space Station, the Dinosaur Volcano, and the E-Rangers Base. It's big, it's really big. Probably too big, still haven't found a great spot to keep it, so it's still on a bar behind me.

KAWS x Kubrick
KM001 Bus Stop 1
be Medicom Toy (ca.2002)
-------
The only piece of KAWS art I'll probably ever own!
This line featured five different sets featuring two denizens of the Kubrick-ized city, waiting at the bus stop - paying homage to KAWS's origins as a graffiti artist in Brooklyn and downtown NYC in the early 2000s.
And it also homages the kinds of cheap, mundane playsets you find at the dollar store - a big inspiration for a lot of designer toy artists. Repainting those inexpensive plastic toys started the designer toy scene.
Speaking of inexpensive, this is probably the least expensive KAWS piece you can own. Released at Tower Records in 2002 (and other stores eventually) this set was sold in a standard Kubrick display box, with a panel to show the toy - and featuring the artwork from the bus station on the front of the box. It was a very striking image on the shelf.
I do love KAWS artwork, but I'm priced out of most of it. But I also love Kubricks, and I love my city. So this was an instant buy when I saw it.
I was actually working at Tower Records at the time, and I still kick myself for passing on the rest of them.
It's been consistently displayed in my home since I first bought it 20 years ago. I just love the look of the whole set - the way it plays with space - and that weird feeling of home I get when I see it.

Telephone
Pinky had been playing with the red plastic telephone for hours, and wailed when Brain, irritated at the noise of a one-sided imaginary conversation, took it from him.
"We were having such a lovely time! Oh please Brain, give him back."
Brain stared hatefully down at the toy. It was part of a cheap nursery playset in the waiting room and had seen better days.
"No," he said, “at least - not tonight. I need you undistracted.”
Pinky's ears flipped back upwards with interest. "Does that mean you're finished with your plan?"
"Nearly, my friend, nearly."
"Can I have it until then? Please, please?"
"Absolutely not. I need full concentration."
"But Brain-"
"I'm putting it away, Pinky. You can have it back in the morning."
And that was that. The telephone was stuffed in the top drawer of a lab station cabinet, and Pinky did not ask for it again until they were staggering back five hours later, bruised and stinging with fresh failure. Brain winced at the request but climbed up to retrieve it anyway, his mind vaguely casting about for telephone-related schemes. Something that would involve less exertion next time, yes, perhaps...
The drawer was large and heavy, and he had to use a ruler to pry it open again before jumping inside. He heard it then; a faint echo, like static.
Brain picked up the phone and held it up to the pale slit of pre-dawn light. It was an ugly, battered toy. Someone had chewed through a corner of the plastic receiver, and he could peer into the dark hollow space of the hole. He turned to climb back up into the wide space of the lab and back to Pinky - and then paused, his hand on the metal of the wall, listening.
It was a familiar sound, intimately so. An unmistakable faint rasp of breath. Brain looked back sharply at the dark corners of the drawer. They were empty, as they had been before. Feeling silly, he put the receiver to his ear.
"Hello?" he said.
Click, went the receiver.

Howl's Moving Castle and the Tale of Princess Kaguya!
Ahhh those are such cute questions!
The favorite place I've traveled is hard. It's more about individual moments in places than the place itself. There are places that I really enjoy traveling through and like to just exist in. There's this stretch of freeway, on I-15 heading south into Utah before you hit all the cities where you start driving up against the mountains, and I just get this sense of comfiness, like the mountains are huge and beautiful and kind of awe inspiring and protecting. And I always seem to be driving in the evening so the mountains are all tinted orange and pink. Another place, there's several small towns in southern Virginia, and I really love the overgrown cemeteries and the old houses there. It's green and beautiful, and it feels like people have stories there. I like to exist right there. And one last place is this beach in San Diego. I don't remember what beach, but I was there when it was dark, and the tide was coming in, and the whole beach was empty, and the only light was the stars and a street lamp, and I was barefoot playing in the water and the sand, and it was pure magic.
I love this ask!!! I'm going on adventures! Through the garden in my backyard! Scaling bookshelves! I'm gonna be a doll! Play in all those toy playsets like castles and dollhouses and space stations. Time for some dramatic make believe! I'm Thumbelina now!
