Mein Name ist Doda und ich bin eine passionierte Barbie-Sammlerin
(bevorzugt Steffie-Face). Auf DodaDolls findet ihr Fotos aus meiner
Sammlung, Puppenunikate, seltene Barbies und Accessoires, Diorama-
sowie Fashion-Inspirationen. In meinem DollFinder (Puppen-Suche)
möchte ich Euch helfen, Eure Wunschpuppe zu finden und nach Hause zu
holen. Als Kind hatte ich einige wenige Barbies, da sich meine Eltern
nicht wirklich welche leisten konnten. Meine Lieblinge waren Geschenke
von Bekannten meiner Eltern aus den 70ern, die bereits von deren
Kindern bespielt worden waren. Ich verliebte mich als 8-Jährige in
eine Jewel Secrets Whitney / Prinzessin Laura und schwor mir insgeheim
diese Puppe zu kaufen sobald ich erwachsen bin. Mehr als 20 Jahre
später bestaune ich meine kleine aber feine Steffie-Face Sammlung an
verpackten und unverpackten Barbies. Auch einige Fashionistas haben es
mir angetan. Mit viel Freude fotografiere ich meine Mädels und baue
Räumlichkeiten für ihre Puppenevents. Auf Youtube findet ihr meine
Deboxing Videos der mir liebsten Puppen, Kleider, Möbelsets und
Accessoires. Ich lade Euch ein auf eine farbenfrohe Reise in die
virtuelle Welt der DodaDolls!
Who's DodaDolls?
My name is Doda and I am a passionate and avid Barbie collector
(preferably Steffie mold). You can find pictures of my collection, one
of a kind doll creations, rare Barbies and accessories, as well as
diorama inspirations on my page. My DollFinder shall assist your
search for your perfect doll. I want to help you bring your dream doll
home! When I was young I only had a few Barbies since my parents could
not afford them. Some of my favourites included vintage dolls from the
70ies that my parents' friends had given us as a gift (and which had
been played with by their own children). When I was around 8 years old
I fell in love with Jewel Secrets Whitney and made a silent promise to
myself: "When I grow up, I shall get all the Barbies I always dreamed
of." Over 20 years later I can look at a small but solid collection of
boxed and unboxed Steffie mold dolls, Barbies and Fashionistas. It
gives me enormous joy to photograph and pose my hybrid dolls or create
rooms for their doll events. You can find my deboxing videos on
Youtube, which mostly show my favourite Barbie dolls, fashions,
playsets and accessoires. Let me invite you on a colourful trip into
the amazing world of DodaDolls!

January 2021 - You may have seen them in store or online: the blue tubes that promise color reveal fun and mermaids with real hair (no wigs this time!).
In this blog I shall reveal the 100% confirmed European codes that are known to me for all 5 mermaids, some Chelseas and singled out pets from this series.
For more interactive fun, check out my elaborate YouTube video on the topic here:
[note: the following codes have been spotted in 🇩🇪 Germany 🇦🇹 Austria 🇭🇺 Hungary 🇮🇹 Italy and the 🇨🇿 Czech Republic]
The dolls in their correct order ❤︎
To identify the code, we first have to line up the mermaid dolls in their correct order:
For more in depth information on how to read the codes and figure out the numbering if you spot a middle number that differs from the ones I included here (being the rows of 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s), I highly urge you to watch my video. Numbers of dolls I have not personally unpacked are in brackets.
1. Millie - This series starts off with the one and only Millie faced Barbie. I did not get her since she is too plain for my taste and I do not enjoy her make-up that much (even though she gives me Lady Gaga vibes from her "Stupid love" video).
Numbers: (236OI, 257OI)
2. Daisy - I call her that because she has the "Life in a dreamhouse" face sculpt of the pink haired Daisy. She is a gorgeous dark doll!
Numbers: 237OI (258OI)
3. Teresa - We've seen this girl before, she was very prominent in the second and third wave of the Fashionistas. Here she is bringing avantgarde goth make-up into your home!
Numbers: (238OI) 259OI
4. Daya - The mellow, slightly shy rainbow princess is my favorite of this series.
Numbers: 239OI (260OI)
5. Dimples - Like a winter goddess, Dimples shines in this variation with iridescent white hair and a warm smile.
Numbers: (240OI) 261OI
Mermaid Pets
Since the mermaids already burnt a hole into my wallet, I stuck to buying two Chelseas and two pets, which still can give a pretty good hint at the number codes of the rest.
To start off with the pets: the easy way out would be to glimpse to the bottom of the packaging. Usually you can get a feel for the color of the outer shell which pretty much gives away the animal hidden inside. This series comes with 1 magical cat, 2 cutest dogs (frenchies?) and 2 seals.
After the color reveal their mermaid tails glitter heavily, so this is definitely a highlight! The shells are quite decorative (as you can see from the main picture on top of this page), so I definitely recommend snatching them if you can.
Color Reveal Mermaid Chelseas
The cute Chelseas reveal new colors after a warm bath. Their tails are glittery and partially transparent, which makes for fun play once the water gets trapped inside them. ❤︎ Please be advised that there is only a 100% guarantee of accuracy on the two opened dolls which are underlined. The numbers with a question mark are highly likely, though not confirmed by a purchase.
Version 1: Assuming that the order of the little ones also follows the pictures on the package, I made my own assumptions as to the rest of the codes for the girls. There is a weird break in numbers though if you follow this scheme, which ended up directing me more towards the second version of possible code distribution. The last row is just a guess of mine, but it could be that the order is totally different altogether.
Version 2 (more likely): Going by the order of their big sisters, I lined up the Chelseas accordingly in the picture. This version makes more sense since it seems more coherent, though it forces the row to start with a "29", a "late" number, which all in itself is a bit weird and unexpected.
