In real life,
some say, I'm a bit of a grill hoarder... I have a
big gas grill, Smokey Joe charcoal grill,
small pig shaped clay hibatchi and
George Foreman grill. And I've even dabbled with a smoker... Now it seems my little obsession has carried over to my Barbie world too:) Years ago, one of the first playsets I picked up was the big gas grill and I'm still very fond of that purchase. It's perfect for
summer holiday pics and I do see lots of tailgating in our future -
you hear that football??? You'd better be starting back up!
So of course I got excited when I saw the new Smokey Joe type grill playset this year, and yes I did pick one up.
Shish-Ka-Bobs are a recurring theme on my other blog, so I'm a sucker... But I have to say 'really Mattel'??? This is so small it's not even hibatchi size in scale. I added it to an on-line order, if I saw it in person I probably would have passed. It's only 1 1/2" wide.
I'm sure I'll work it into photos by sitting it on top of a picnic table, it looks larger closer to the camera...
But I do have to say this is the first playset I've been truly disappointed with.
No-sew Ken or GI Joe tank top from sock here.
Could I do better?
While it admittedly needs some work, I do think the scale is pretty close to accurate.
As we're entering summer...
Barbie says, let's fire up the grill and have a happy day😎
Oh, may...what a cute set the hibachi is. I think I may have to find one somewhere. Taking a day off of yard work to play with dolls and do photos---been a dry spell for now, and of course backyard will be a must for the HFIM crew...Enjoy! Sandi
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your new post Sandi! Happy Gardening:@)
DeleteHello there. I'm a new subscriber to your blog, but I can't remember who recommended it. The BBQ is cute, but as you said it's a bit too small. Looks a bit more like a portable griddle. The one you made is nice, but you can always try to make another one if you think that's too small.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a nice rest of the week.
So glad you stopped by, I follow you too:@) Have a great week!
DeleteThat is quite a bitty grill. I have been looking for one but think I will pass on this one. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, yep the big grill is great, small one not so much... Have a nice week:@)
