Barbie Made to Move dolls in the Philippines, and Other Toy Store updates

Barbie Made to Move dolls are finally here! (There's Teresa, Barbie and Lea, but no Asha.)

I found these at SM North department store and Toy Kingdom, SM The Block. The saleslady at SM North told me they just arrived yesterday.

Sold at P999.75 each, these are more reasonably priced than what online sellers of this doll line ask for. Like, I've seen one seller sell this at P1800. RIDICULOUS!

There are other new dolls on the shelves, such as the Endless Hair line and a new line of mermaids, which have too much purple and pink going on that it makes me puke rainbows (not really haha). There are also the new Barbie entry level dolls priced at P449.75 that come in three new basic dresses, and I remember that one of them has the Lea face sculpt.

SM also has those new Barbie dolls in uniforms. Not sure if they're called Barbie I Can Be but I didn't see that tag line on the boxes.

There's even a chef and a pilot, I think. They are priced at P999.75. If you ask me, it's better to get the Made To Move doll, then look for a Barbie I Can Be career fashion pack if it's accessible. Sure, it's going to be much more expensive, but you get a posable doll instead of this stiff one.

In other news, at SM North, the Disney Descendants dolls have been reduced to one-fourth of a toy shelf. It is now displayed on a lower shelf of the My Little Pony Equestria Dolls display which kind of implies that SM is not restocking them any time soon. I wish they were on clearance if they're really going be to let go. Meanwhile, the Hasbro Disney dolls are on a roll because I saw new play sets like Elsa's canopy bed, Cinderella's vanity dresser with a dress form and extra dress, and Belle's table for tea time. The colour of Elsa's canopy bed is pretty cool because it gradually blends from blue to purple.

I didn't see the Shopkins Shoppies dolls at Toy Kingdom, but I did at Toys R Us. Maybe the Shoppies dolls are exclusive to TRU then??

Also the new Batman vs Superman dolls from Jakks Pacific came in yesterday too. I didn't manage to photograph those because my phone battery has gone low. There's Batman, Superman and Wonderwoman in different sizes. The biggest, I believe, is 19 inches. The size is a bit overwhelming, to be honest, specially when I picked up Wonderwoman to examine it, but I think I'd appreciate her more if her clothes are actually made of fabric, not sculpted, but alas, that is not the case.

A Photo Dump! [Part 2]

ALF plushies! The big one is from my childhood. I believe it's much older than me, haha. The small one is thrifted and I think I bought it for P60. It was in good condition. Both plushies need a good wash.

A BMO figure from McDonald's. I'm not into Adventure Time but this character looks cool. My late aunt gave me money for a meal, so I bought a Happy Meal and got the toy.

Toothless figure from How To Train Your Dragon. I didn't buy this.

A Gachaman cellphone charm I saw at the thrift store. I'm more used to the name G-Force because that's how this show was introduced in the Philippines. I didn't buy this either.

My Groot figure which I got on sale for P150. I haven't taken a photo of Groot and Rocket together. I'll do that in the future.

A pair of Kimmi dolls I saw at a cake shop. They're cute but I don't collect kokeshi (Japanese wooden dolls) at all so I wasn't really THAT interested. I only collect Daruma dolls.

A bootleg mini fig of Loki which I got from a street vendor for P50. I was intending to gift this to a friend but we're not friends anymore so I get to keep this, heh. I'm not so crazy about building blocks like this. I think my brother got more kick out of Lego than I did.

A Batman figure and a Cheetara of Thundercats figure on display at an independent toy store. I took a photo of Batman because I used to have a 12 inch Batman figure back when I was a child. I feel a little bad that I don't know where it is now. Maybe it was given away, I don't remember. I kinda wish I kept it. And I took a photo of Cheetara because I used to watch Thundercats even though I don't necessarily understand what was going on in the show.

How To Train Your Dragon tumblers sold at the cinema. I didn't get anything at all, haha. But I thought the figure that sits on top of the tumbler is cool.

Disney Crystal Gallery 3d puzzles. At one point, I was "lusting" over these but I read somewhere that these are a nightmare to build so that cleared my head.

A Pullip x Tokidoki doll and a Bearbrick doll I saw at a Tokidoki exhibit. This was the first time I've seen a Pullip doll up close. It looks delicate and seems very expensive.
