Barbie fans who enjoy building sets will enjoy constructing Barbie-themed Mega Bloks sets. They were released long before the 2023 Barbie movie on March 29, 2012. At that time, Mattel announced that it would work with Mega Bloks on the creation of a series of building toys themed around Barbie. Fans would now be able to build their own Barbie worlds.
Mega Bloks said, "We are thrilled to join forces with Mega Bloks to create the first Mega Bloks building sets based on Barbie" and I am sure they were. Who wouldn't want to work with Barbie, one of Mattel's most recognized brands?Mega Bloks is also a very well-known manufacturer, known for a line of building toys that are thought to be "innovative, well-designed, affordable and high-quality products." As a team, these two companies created some wonderful building sets that are reviewed here on this page.
Yes, Barbie also has her very own beach house. This set includes two micro-dolls, Beach Fun Barbie and Beach Fun Nikki and the that is comprised of two rooms and a patio that can be arranged however the builder likes.
The sets discussed above were the original releases but Mega Bloks has released more Barbie sets since 2012. The most exciting set released in 2023 must surely be the Barbie DreamHouse, which is shown above. It is a replica of Barbie's home in the hit movie of the same name and is intended for adult collectors and rated for players aged 10 and up. With 1795 pieces, it comes with micro-dolls representing Margot Robbie's Barbie and Ryan Gosling's Ken.

I was not familiar with Mega Blox sets before reading your review. These sets look amazing and would be sure to delight Barbie doll enthusiasts and collectors.
ReplyDeleteCute! I am familiar with Mega Blox but I had no idea they made Barbie sets! Thank you for the review.
ReplyDeleteHow fascinating that there are building sets in a Barbie theme. I had no idea! I ended up a grandmother to five grandSONS, so Barbie never entered my 'grandma' gift-giving world. BUT, last May I became a great-grandmother to a baby GIRL, so Barbie gifts are now definitely in my future! Thanks, Brenda.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun for you, Elf!
DeleteWow! What a great way to add a whole new dimension to playing with Barbies. I love the idea of building her home and other fun sets, plus adding the micro-dolls to a Barbie collection. A very creative and ingenious idea and a great way to keep the love for playing with Barbies for the younger generations.
ReplyDeleteI was a "Barbie Doll fanatic" growing up - Can't describe how much I loved them! My mom even made me clothes for my Barbies - wow, my mom was awesome and caring! This would have been a priced possession had it existed in my day
ReplyDeleteThis Barbie-themed Mega Bloks sets sound like a really wonderful gift for children who can then build their own Barbie world. I can imagine the fun and creative enjoyment this gift would bring! Thank you for your review.
