HelloNana Nana dolls - Nana Makeba

 So this is an unusual one.

In my random ebay scrolling I came across a listing for a doll i'd never seen before, new in box.

It peaked my curiosity and was pretty inexpensive so I picked her up. 

 

 

Glo Up Girls by Farout toys

 
I always find new dolls lines interesting, especially when they're from toy companies you've never heard of. 

it's interesting to see what fresh new stuff might hit the market. 

Glo Up girls are made by a company named Farout Toys, who prior to this have been mostly known for Love, Diana and Ryan's World blind bag toys and a couple of gimmicky kids board games. 

From what I can establish, they're a pretty new company and tiny. 

So it was a bold move to try a fashion doll when the market is so saturated with those and big hitters like MGA and Mattel are looming large over that whole aisle. 

It was also bold to opt for a higher price point product. At £25 the Glo up girls are NOT a cheap alternative. They're only £5 less than a Rainbow High or LOL OMG doll and more expensive than a LOT of Barbie's offerings. 

so are they worth the price and are they worth the shelf space?

 She's finally here! 

And she was bloody expensive. 

At £60 this is a pricey set, but I took the plunge because well, I have poor impulse control okay?
