![]() ![]() On that day I saw a small display of Strawberry Shortcake dolls, and badly, badly wanted the Blueberry Muffin doll. I still vividly remember a day during my childhood when I was shopping at a department store with my family. How can I be a child of the 80s and not know anything about Strawberry Shortcake, you might ask? Well, that gets at my second motivation for writing this review-and certainly the most powerful. ![]() ![]() The thing is, I don't actually know much about Strawberry Shortcake, and so I kept postponing my review, thinking that I couldn't really do the subject any justice. I have been looking at the new Bridge Direct dolls in the stores for a few months now, trying to decide if I like them and wondering if a comparison to Hasbro would be fun. Hasbro, which had been manufacturing the dolls and toys since 2009, passed the torch to The Bridge Direct in 2014. What inspired me to write this retrospective review? Well, first of all, the Strawberry Shortcake license very recently changed hands for the fifth time. I am going to look at a series of Strawberry Shortcake dolls, focusing on how the dolls have changed over the years as the brand license moved from company to company. This week's review is a little different from what I normally write. I am so glad I ran the poll! Thank you very much to everyone who voted. The funny thing is, the doll I intended to review (ball gown Cinderella) came in last of all. First of all, the Cinderella movie doll poll closed the other day and (much to my surprise) the Frozen Fever dolls won! It was a close call with the Fairy Godmother for a while, but the Frozen princesses ended up winning 107 to 95. ![]()
