Finals are over so the lads have headed to the beach to celebrate the end of their first year in college.
Zayne lobs the frisbee and Justin and Chad reach to catch it.
Only somebody else got there first.
Good girl!
Talking Justin Bieber and Concert Collection One Direction dolls have the same articulated body. They can kneel and assume many other poses that are beyond poor High School Musical Chad. Mattel did not endow Chad with a belly button, but Justin and Zayne both have outies. Push Justin's and he speaks 12 different phrases. Push Zayne's and he sings "What Makes You Beautiful."

Meanwhile Harry and Video Collection Harry are taking a dip.
Video Collection Harry is feeling very pale.
He hopes he can get a nice tan like first wave Harry.

Back on shore, war has broken out and Zayne is taking no prisoners.
"Don't shoot me, Zayne. I'm your cousin!"
"What's the point of being at the beach if you don't get wet, Malik?"
"Well, when you put it that way..."
"Last one in is a rotten egg!"
The original series of One Direction dolls had stiff legs. The Video and Spotlight collection dolls also have stiff legs. Hasbro updated the face molds after the first wave, but I still don't think they do justice to these young men. Fortunately, for the Concert series our teen idols got articulated ankles and knees that enable them to assume more active poses.
Justin bounces the ball off his knee.
Liam catches it with his shoulder and lobs it back.
Justin returns the volley with his elbow.
But Liam gets the last laugh with a head butt.

"I just need to catch my breath for a minute," pants Justin. "Liam really gave me a workout!"
"In that case it's important to stay hydrated," says Tommy (Fashionista Ken). "Bottoms up!"
Ken's legs are longer, but Bieber and One Direction pants are cut long so Ken can share them. Their feet are close to the same size so they can trade shoes as well.

After a long day of sun and fun, Zayne takes a siesta while Tommy noodles on his guitar.
"Supper time!" calls Justin.
Louis, however, is the type who never wants to get out of the water.
