<\/p>\nWhile I was on Craigslist last night, posting my DVDs for sale, I made the mistake of searching for "barbie" and then "doll" in the sale section. I came across an AG Minis Groovy Room room box, used, but in great condition and well-furnished. Seller’s picture is below.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
AG Minis<\/a> refers to a line of room boxes, set pieces and accessories produced in the early 2000s by American Girl, by then a subsidiary of Mattel. Sets included living rooms, bedrooms, a diner, a shoe and purse store, a stable, a cabana, a patio, etc. Companion animals, including horses, dogs, cats and hamsters, were issued, but, much to my bafflement, AG never put out any dolls to go in the room boxes.<\/p>\n I’m not quite sure of the scale here, but it’s definitely smaller than 1:12, probably closer to 1:18. The Polly Pocket doll in the picture stands somewhere between 3 and 4 inches.<\/p>\n As I squint between the documentation at the link above and the seller’s picture of the Groovy Room, I can determine that my Groovy Room contains an Illuma-Room, a clear front dust cover, Groovy Decor set minus bead curtain, Stylin’ Seating Set, Stylin’ Art Set, Blooming Little Things and Funky Little Things. As far as I can tell, it’s a complete set except for a few negligible pieces and [sigh] the globe lantern from the Stylin’ Art Set. [Silver star tree from Funky Little Things included but not shown.] Not bad for $50.00, especially considering that the complete set sold for $178.00 when it was first issued. ^_^<\/p>\n As you can see, it’s an eye-assaulting extravaganza of meretriciousness and therefore awesome. In fact, I think there’s too much<\/em> going on in there. Shocking, right? :p In order to make it tacky, but less painful, I need to do the following:<\/p>\n I’m thinking that this can be a dollhouse for Isabel’s dolls, who apparently are just as questionable in their tastes as she is. :p<\/p>\n So, anyway, because this room box looks like a rainbow threw up in it, my trip to Barre this weekend to pick it up is now billed as Operation Rainbow Barf.<\/p>\n This entry was originally posted at http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/1471888.html<\/a>.
