Truly amazing! Didn't expect such quality. First, let me inform you SIZE-WISE: I will be using these in my dioramas with BARBIE, Liv dolls & vintage Sindy (1960s-1985): yes, some of the items will be a bit on the large side for Barbie (perfect for Liv & Sindy who have bigger heads), but I'm so fed up with getting tiny, undersized food from Mattel! I expect most of it will also look good with my 14" Moxie Teenz dolls. To my delight & surprise, I found everything actually opens & closes: the coffee pot's lid can go off and back on, so does the jam's; the marshmallows on the sticks can slide & be repositioned even removed, replaced by veg, apples or real marshmallows cut to size; the salt and pepper move up & down when you shake; the jumbo bag that looks like nothing on the picture is actually super cute and when you turn it over you can see all 12 loose little marshmallows through the clear plastic... The butter dish is totally see-through when you close it, not too blue, thank goodness, and is I think just a bit smaller than the OG one, better for Barbie. The mugs are amazing: the picture is on both sides of each so you can see it from any angle, and it's a large mug so both pic & text will show very distinctly on your diorama photos. The inside of the torch looks so realistic! Deep, shiny silver, with tiny bulb, just like a real one, and when you photograph that side it seems alight by reflecting the camera's flash and only then you can see the metal is actually golden, rather than grey, to create that effect: brilliant thinker behind it. Best frying pan in my whole huge Barbie collection, so realistic and finally the right size, with cutest spatula, and perfect cutlery size for Liv dolls' hands & Sindy (I can never believe how ridiculously vintage Sindy's cutlery is: 3 or 4 times smaller than should be!) - although on the large side for Barbie, give me these any day for her rather than the usual undersize. This was my very first encounter with this brand. My congratulations to the designers, and...must go, off to look for more in this brand!
