Doll Impulsions (Part 8)

Remember when I used to write about my doll impulsions? LOL well it's back now.

I saw this lot of dolls over at Carousell, and can't help but notice the AA doll and the vintage articulated doll.

She looks familiar but I don't know what the name of this doll is! She looks beautiful, right?

And is this a Betty doll? Her ankle joints are cool, I think those are there because she's actually a bicycling doll.

Saw these dolls on OLX. 

Doll no. 8! Why is her head so huge? What kind of Barbie is it?

Isn't Doll no. 16 Drew from Fashion Fever! Oh she's lovely! If I were still interested in collecting more Barbie dolls, I probably would be all over Drew.

And is that teen Skipper in the middle?

By the way, I saw this set of bootleg dolls at the mall. I was so tempted to buy it.

There's Elastigirl, Violet (holding her mom's chest, haha) and Jack Jack! I almost gave in, almost! I had the chance before to get an authentic (secondhand) Violet Parr doll but I hesitated. Getting the bootleg is the next best thing, lol.

Oh I finally saw "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" on Netflix the other day. What a great film, and Spirit's never-say-die attitude is inspiring! At first I felt like I was gonna get bored because the film didn't have much dialogue for the main characters, but I stayed patient and the film got really better and better! I read that Spirit from the "Spirit Riding Free" Netflix series is actually the offspring of Spirit and Rain from the movie, so I wonder how Spirit Jr. takes after his parents. Hmm I probably should check out the series online, then maybe I'll have better appreciation of my Lucky doll.

Aaaaand I went to two toy sales this month! I shall discuss that on the next post! Happy Holidays, everyone!

A Photo Dump! [Part 12]

Oh my, it's been a while since my last post. Please forgive me.

My brother sent me these photos of Monchhichis at Hong KOng. I don't collect Monchhichis, but they look cute.

Here are additional photos from the doll pool party I hosted. I haven't posted my photos yet, but they will be on my next post. These images were all taken by my friend.

Oh Asha, you're so theatrical. LOL

Ariel really can't swim, hahahaha.

The squad.

Asha, what are you doing????

Ariel on the side of the pool because she can't swim, hahahaha.

More theatrics from Asha.

I love the pool floats I got at the mall.

This is my friend's child, by the way. And I gave them a Kung Fu panda toy. He played with it in the pool.

Now here is a set of 3D puzzles that I bought at a thrift store. It was marked down really low because nobody wanted it. I did assemble the pieces but it was missing one sheet. That's all right.

I haven't taken photos of the puzzles yet because they take so much space when displayed, so I stuffed them all in a paper bag, in the mean time. I might have to fix some of the puzzles when I finally take them out of the bag.

A trip to Daiso at Fairview Terraces:

Ah, a banana rack. Perfect for making your own hanging egg chair for your dolls.

These food picks. They're so cute, they can be used as doll wands or scepters.

I believe this is a bamboo mat used for rolling your own maki, but I thought I could use something like this as a background for my doll scenes.

This pack full of cats. The paint job isn't that good, but they're still cute, and perfect for doll dioramas.

Needles of varying sizes. Perhaps this is handy for rerooting. I don't like rerooting though. It takes so much time.

Window stick memo. I thought these are cute and can be used for doll diorama, but they're flat. This gave me an idea, I can make window treatments on their own, then I can just stick them temporarily to a panel whenever I need a window in the background of my diorama. That might work.

I saw this doll called Pretty Angelia at SM Department Store. Her face is from the Buni dolls I've seen before, and her body is your generic clone Barbie body. I like her hair though. It's a combination of brown and light pink hair. It's pretty cute, and looks silky.

Here's to me making more posts this month. I struggle, but I know I will be able to do it.

Bootleg Moana Restyle

I restyled my bootleg Moana doll. I wanted her to look urban chic or something. Here's my favourite restyle so far.

The hat and the hoodie are from Paddington Bear. The skirt is Barbie, I believe. The tights are from Ballet Barbara, and the shoes are owned by my Food Market Mii-chan.

I removed the hoodie and the skirt, and gave Moana a Barbie top. I like the top on her, but I feel that her tights doesn't give her much coverage, like she needs something else down there to go with the tights, but I didn't have a lot of skirts to offer her, so whatever, haha.

In the process of dressing her up with other styles, I seem to have lost her red top, booooo. I don't know where it is. So I decided to turn her skirt into a dress. 

Oh and I just realised that I can position her legs in a such way that she would look pigeon-toed. It's so cute.

Moana Bootleg Doll

I found these bootleg Moana dolls!

Out of curiosity, I bought one.

It cost me P150.

At home, I deboxed her. It was really easy.

"Good ideal partner I grew up"

Out of the box.

Side glance! I believe this is the sculpt from Disney Store!

Her hair is curly. Quite unruly but it was really soft. And I was surprised that it is also generously rooted for a bootleg doll!

Her top.

 Her skirt.

Her neck knob. It was easy to behead Moana. I think it's also necessary because the halter strap isn't removable at all, and I won't be able to put it on and off with the doll head in the way.

I was surprised that the skirt has a ribbon attached to it, to keep the skirt from riding up the waist.

Not bad.

Most of the body is made of hollow plastic, while the arms are rubberised. Also the built in necklace looks cool.

I compared the bootleg body to Rhian's. Rhian is the name of my Curvy Barbie.

At the back, her necklace isn't painted silver anymore.

For fun, I made bootleg Moana wear the skirt I made for Rhian a while back. I haven't continued working on this custom dress yet. Sigh.

I have to say, it looks cute on her.

Oh yeah.

/Later I learned that Fake Moana can stand pigeon-toed! I think this might come in handy for photo shoots!
