Today The 2021 PopCult Gift Guide looks at MORE TOYS! These are great gifts for kids, but also wonderful for adults who need to be reminded that you’re never too old to play.

The Fresh Dolls

I first told you about The Fresh Dolls in The PopCult Gift Guide three years ago, and now the are available from more retailers and even offer a line of Fashion Packs, with their own sense of style.

Created so all children could see their beauty, brilliance, and power reflected back to them, The Fresh Dolls is a one-of-a-kind diverse line of fashion dolls reflecting ethnicities found around the world – African American, Afro-Latina, Latino/Hispanic, Caucasian, and Mixed-Race/Bi-Racial.

They are designed with custom blended skin tones, authentic facial features including beautiful full lips, noses and gorgeous eyes, a variety of hair textures and styles, and uniquely designed bodies more representative with fuller hips and thighs.

Standing approx 11.5 inches tall, Fresh Dolls are bendable and articulated to foster imagination during positive play. They also feature soft washable hair, stunning wardrobe and accessories. Recommended for ages three and up, these are just great fashion dolls for collectors of all ages, and with their added articulation, they also make great additions to 1/6 scale action figure dioramas.

There are six Fresh Dolls available: Mia, Marisol, Lexi, Skylar, Lynette and Ebony. They come dressed in a variety of trendy outfits, and additional outfits are available as Fashion Packs.

This is a terrific line of fashion dolls, and I will be telling you more about them, and the company that makes them, EPI Brands, early next month.

The Fresh Dolls are available at Target, Walmart, Amazon and other retailers.

Colorforms Retro-The Original Set

This is a throwback of major proportions. Folks of a certain age may remember Colorforms as a toy that used licensed characters and let kids stick vinyl cut outs on an illustrated backing board, and re-position them over and over again.

The toy’s heyday was in the 1960s and 70s when they produced sets based on Disney, Batman, Casper and tons of other hit properties. The company is still around making licensed sets that are more detailed than ever, but are a little harder to find.

However, when they first started, Colorforms was just a set of shapes, and kids could use their own imaginations to make whatever they wanted in a the included spiral-bound notebook.

Now you can go back to the 1951 birth of Colorforms wih a reproduction of the classic 1951 set that was sold exclusively at FAO Schwarz. You can find out why Colorforms are the wonderful, re-stickable storytelling toy, beloved for 70 years and counting.

Let’s go to the manufacturer’s PR…

COLORFORMS STICK LIKE MAGIC! No cutting, no glue, no mess. Peel & stick pieces let you play over and over again, a new adventure every time!

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – This high-quality set is a reproduction of the original Colorforms set that started it all!
