One of the benefits of sometimes being forgetful is that you get to be surprised more often. 
Somehow, I managed to completely forget about Rainbow Brite®'s "relaunch" (check out RainbowBrite.net
for more information), so I got a big fat surprise when I turned a corner at Target and saw this:
The new dolls are made by Playmates. They had this 15" version of Rainbow Brite, plus the 10" versions of Rainbow Brite and Moonglow. Unfortunately, they didn't have Tickled Pink. 
(She has pigtails and her hair is pink. Can you guess why I like her? )...
As I said in this entry
, Target stores in the US have been getting a lot of exclusive dolls lately. Another case in point: This Glam Bike! Doll & Bicycle giftset.
Although the box says it's "Only at Target", I think this is actually a mainline foreign market set that's only available domestically at Target stores. (A lot of "store exclusive" Barbie dolls in the US - including some of the ones sold at Target - are actually widely-available, non-store-specific mainline dolls in other countries.) ...
Have you seen the new Disney Princess Ballerina Princess dolls? I saw the Belle doll at a local Walmart a couple of weeks ago; this week, they also had Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella - and I saw Snow White later at Target.
When I first saw Belle I was very excited. 
I always wished there could be a low-priced basic Disney Princess doll line so it would be cheaper to get parts for OOAK dolls. (
) Until now, the lowest-priced Mattel-made Disney Princess dolls in the US have been priced around US$10; these ballerina dolls sell for around US$6.

Is Robert Tonner making a Lady Gaga doll??
Apparently he's at least thinking about it - they've had this survey up for a few weeks. (You should check it out, by the way - it's very in-depth.
