While looking on the site for dolls that are in my current collection, I was surprised to find that one of my favorite Kelly dolls doesn’t appear to be logged here (unless I missed her, that is totally possible). So today I’m going to share her with you.
This is Ruby! Back in 2002, Mattel released a box set that included two Kelly dolls and one VHS tape for a cartoon known as Kelly Dream Club. The VHS contained two episodes: Sparkle Fairy Surprise and Three Princesses. Ruby is a part of Sparkle Fairy Surprise. When Kelly and her friends in the Dream Club, Chelsie and Keeya, use their lockets of dreams to travel to another realm, they end up meeting Ruby, a sparkle fairy, who tells them that if they want to become real fairies, they need to journey to the Garden of Jewels. It’s a cute little romp that teaches some good lessons about teamwork, friendship, and trust. Ruby is a fun character that really isn’t in the episode for all that long, but she’s a fun comedic relief.
The thing is, I used to have three dolls associated with these two episodes. One was Kelly in her Diamond Fairy form, and one was Kelly in her Princess form. They’ve since been passed onto other doll lovers, Ruby is the only one I have left, but I’m so curious as to what other people’s experiences were with these gals. Let me know if you remember them, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Aw, I loved Kellys when i was a kid! This one is very sweet
Heck yeah! ^^ Kelly dolls are one of my lesser known joys. I’ve been slowly trying to find the ones tied to my favorite Barbie movies (the last one I need is Captain Candy from The Nutcracker). I miss their cute little faces.
Wow, I did not know Kelly had a cartoon, Kelly dolls of this era (early 2000s) are literal pieces of art and I extremely love them. I also really love Kelly Club video games for PC but there are not a lot of them, unfortunately. Thank you for the post.
Oh my gosh, you remember the Kelly Club games?! I’ve never met anyone who’s enjoyed them before! Those were some of my favorites! The one with the Kelly Clubhouse got replayed so many times by my sisters and I, same with Kelly Club Pet Parade. Yeah, Kelly and friends absolutely had a cartoon, though outside of my VHS, I have no idea how many episodes there were or where they aired. Might be worth looking into someday. You’re welcome! Thank you for enjoying this with me! <3
Thank you for posting this! I remember having all of the little Kelly’s, I loved them dearly!
You’re welcome, thank you for enjoying them with me! ^^ So many great Kellys out there, they’re so darling.
I had this doll as a kid! I’m not sure what happened to her, to be honest (I moved a few times as a kid and unfortunately had to downsize, so she may have been part of that…). But I loved Ruby and wish I still had her. Maybe I’ll get lucky and find her hiding away in a box somewhere. I adored her little scepter, crown, and shoes. And I remember exactly how her dress feels! She used to sit up on my desk in my preteen years.
I didn’t know there were Kelly Club cartoons! That sounds so cute! I’ll have to see if I can find them somewhere. Was there a doll dressed in white in this set? Because I think I have a vague memory of a white one, too? I specifically remember white shoes that looked like Ruby’s red ones…Could have been another Kelly doll, though…
Thank you so much for this post!! It’s so wonderful getting to see this doll again! I was so excited when I saw the thumbnail!
It’s so cool to find someone that also had this doll! My gosh, I forgot she had that wand, that was such a cute accessory.
Oh yes, there was a doll dressed in white in this set! It was Kelly in her Diamond Fairy design from the cartoon. Her hair was done up in a high ponytail. At least, I’m pretty sure they’re the two that came with the VHS. I had another that was one of them in their princess dress, which, I guess was almost a cream color? It’s been so long, I was like 9 when I got this set.
You’re welcome, my pleasure! XD So glad to share the joy!
