Hi,
I found the 40th anniversary Strawberry Shortcake doll at Target today.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
I like her sparkly shoes and shiny dress but I will probably not get her since I got most of the retro Strawberry Shortcake dolls that were out a few years ago. I hope she sells well though and it gives me hope that we might see other SS characters in 40th anniversary editions too.

Aww, I'm somewhat tempted. The box is so pretty.

I'm tempted to get her if only just to hold her to my nose for Aromatherapy. :) I love the way these dolls smell!
-
Those shoes are wonderful, I would definitely buy her if I see her! I got some of the ones a few years ago and Im glad I did. I love Strawberry Shortcake!

She's so pretty! A retro doll I got a while ago had a similar box, though I don't think it was the 40th anniversary one.

I saw a pic on Facebook of Raisin Cane. The person that made the post said the doll cane from Spain. I hope this means we might see Basic Fun release Raisin Cane.

Cute! Congratulations.

Off topic of the anniversary doll, but I wanted to ask those of you who like Strawberry Shortcake, is her big giant house, Berry Happy Home, hard to find and worth anything? I found one at a flea market. I didn't buy it, or even look at the price as I don't collect SS, but if it's desirable and I could make a profit or trade for ponies, I could go back for it.

I wouldn't- the house IS "worth something" but selling it is not easy.
First, it is HUGE and HEAVY- there is almost no box big enough - and it is crazy old brittle and fraglie- and the little tabs holding it together break ALL the time so I'm sure regardless of how well you pack the house- it will have some issues upon arrival.
Some people used to take the houses apart- you can do so VEEEEERY carefully with a hair dryer- but still there are issue with how old and brittle the plastic is- and there is a VERY good chance you will get some breaking and cracking. So I would never sell it to anyone but a friend who totally understood that it was UNLIKELY to reach them fully intact.
Otherwise- you can try to sell locally - but your price is going to be way way lower.
In Sum: NOT WORTH IT. Your best price will be on ebay and you will DEFINITELY get a "not as described" claim filed on your ass.
The furniture on the other hand- definitely highly sought, and some of it is quite rare so if THAT comes with the house- go for it!
Truth be told I had an extra house- and none of my local SSC friends wanted it- so I scavanged the best parts off of it and left it on the sidewalk where someone picked it up in a heartbeat! (I hope it was someone with a kid).

Thank you Galactica. And for all I know, if I went back, the seller themselves probably want a crazy amount. They wanted $10 for a grubby, discolored Baby Tic Tac Toe with hair cut.
