More Fun Finds

I found this pack of pencil topper erasers made to look like popcorn! Pretty cool! I thought this would be cute for big dolls.

My magnet display on the fridge, which has been updated to this:

I combined the previous ones I collected and the lot of secondhand magnets I won in a Facebook group to which I belong.

I had to separate my Philippine travel magnets and this doll magnet from the Bahamas, because my fridge door is already crowded.

I found a Bratzillaz Midnight Beach Cloetta Spelletta, and she does glow in the dark!

It's freaky that her eyes don't glow, so her eyes look hollow in the dark.

I found this wooden doll house at the mall. It's expensive, and too small for Lottie, but it won't hurt to keep looking at it, right? Haha.

I'm not a big fan of doll houses when it comes to doll photography though, because of the shadows cast by the ceiling and the pillars. These just get in the way of the lighting for the dolls, and I find them limiting, too, specially when I want to take photos from different angles.

I found this balance wall game at a different mall. I particularly like the trowel it comes with.

So tiny!!!

Fairy Doors and More

I found these two fairy doors at a surplus shop. One is broken, but it can easily fixed with glue, and the other looks fine.

I didn't get any of these because I already have a pink one.

I saw this wooden checker board magnet at Kultura. It would look nice in a doll living room, right? 

These are plush toys on my bed. Those two on the left are Alf. The big one is my childhood toy, while the smaller one is a thrift store find. The other two are gorillas that were given as part of a care package from the US.

My McDonald's Peanuts toys. The one in pink is an old soccer Snoopy toy with wheels and music, but the battery is dead. I just painted everything with pink because its colours were starting to fade.

I have two Charlie Browns. One of them has two voice recordings in English, while the other has them in Japanese! Yup, the other one is from a Japanese McDonald's. It was a thrift store find.

I didn't realise that I have a Peanuts table mat that matches my Peanuts collection. I just didn't think of placing them all together for a picture until this photo happened.

And here are my two I Love VIP Pets hybrids, Dakota and Nyla, finally in one photo. If I get another I Love VIP Pets toy, I can make room for one more because I have a spare body. I mean I could totally rip apart my Chelsea-Breyer hybrid for a VIP Pet hybrid, haha.

At My Grandmother's House

Every year, I spend my Christmas Eve at my grandmother's house. But it was only this year that I snooped around to pass time, and checked out my grandma's odd collection of toys and memorabilia.

These rubber dogs that would probably look better when cleaned.

This broken Towering Rescue LCD card game. 80's, man!!

This vintage tin car with Mickey Mouse on it.

This Rubix cube with fruits on each square.

This poor doll made in Hong Kong. I was tempted to sneak her out of the house and bring her home so that I could clean her. She has seen better days.

This other vintage doll, but I don't think it's for playing. It's meant to be a decor instead.

And these two miniature phones.

Turns out that these are Acme fridge magnets. Really cool! I wanted to touch and inspect them, but they were in a glass cabinet, and I didn't want to be obnoxious and ask my grandmother's permission to get stuff like this out of storage. She's an old woman. I don't want to give her any trouble.

Here's to hoping I'd be more active in 2018, lol!!!

A Doll Shelfie Before 2016 Ends

So the last time I rearranged my dolls in my new place was in November. However, my phone died so I couldn't take photos. I just went back after a month and brought in more dolls, so the display has expanded.

I didn't do much here other than put Battie on Skooter, as if she's hugging her, and I also inserted Dawn in the middle row.

I didn't do anything in this cubicle.

I inserted my Takara Compact Doll here so that CD-8 is next to my other Takara dolls.

I changed this up so much. I put my La Dee Da dolls at the back row, then some of my Disney-Liv hybrids infront: Rapunzel with a mini Rapunzel, Elsa with a mini Olaf, Anna, and Ariel.

This shelf also changed. It's way less cluttered.

You can't see it very well, but the newest addition to my Daruma collection is a small pink one. It's not the kind that can fall down and roll back up though.

At the back are still the same generic Barbies. I also placed my bootleg Zombie Rapunzel, White Queen from Alice Through The Looking Glass, and Zombie Alice from Once Upon A Zombie in the middle row. In the front row is my vintage Jasmine doll, and a Disney Descendants Evie with a missing left hand. I was lazy to give her a new hand, but I figured, I could deal with Evie having only one hand. I made her necklace using small plastic beads and floral wire. It's not the neatest looking accessory, but it could hold its triangular shape because of the floral wire.

I organised this shelf so that it would only store Monster High dolls, Ever After High dolls, and Princess Malucia. I added Dracularua, Spectra, Lagoona, Venus, and Frankie in the back row. Bootleg Raven and Cupid were placed at the other end of the back row so that they can join my other EAH dolls there.

In the front row is my custom skeleton face doll which is really a bootleg MH doll, Ghoulia, Clawdeen, Lagoona, Gigi, Operetta, Ghoulia, Clawdeen, Elissabat, Frankie, Lagoona, and Deuce.

This shelf is now full! I filled it with Barbies, some hybrid dolls and my small dolls.

At the back row: Midge, Trichelle, Sweetie, Nikki, Summer, Nikki, and Liv hybrids Sharpay, Mary-Kate, Jane and Nakoma.

Middle row: Nikki, Jianidi, Una Verse, Ari Roma. 

Front row: A Kelly-Breyer doll hybrid,  Midge, Christie, Dazzle, "Foxxy Cleopatra", Kira, Princess Grace.

Small dolls: Tin Man, Jumping Rope Girl, Baseball Girl, Big Bad Wolf, baby Curly and a Quintuplet, Peko-Chan, Mini Cure Black, Red Riding Hood, and Cattleena.

This is a mess, but I like the chaos. I don't think I have the strength to go over everything here, lol, so feel free to open this image on a new window to take a look at it much better.

Also, Red Power Ranger (Tyranno Ranger in Japanese) has finally met Gokai Red! Tyranno is a bit taller than Gokai Red, but that's OK. I wonder if I should continue collecting more Red Rangers... oh and they still haven't met my small Gao White figure, and Human Tackle, too.

Not toys, but also my collection. My travel magnet collection is growing! I mostly collect magnets that have names of places on them. 

Here are the Marin Chiclana dolls from my aunt's estate, and my dancing Thai dolls which I haven't removed from packaging, haha. In the background is a glimpse of the 2017 Zodiac calendar my relative drew. I don't think I have the courage to colour this at all. I would simply ruin it, lol.

I leave you with the White Queen still with a hangover from the Christmas season:

The tree was on sale at Daiso because of Buy One Take One promo, but I didn't take another tree as a freebie. Instead I got a leafy reindeer that fits Lottie. I haven't photographed it yet though. Soon!

/Oh I forgot to post this! A comparison of my doll shelfies:

Christmas and Stuff

I bought a Jianidi Girl Feelings doll with my card points so I didn't spend cash out of my pocket!

She was on sale at P200 and it's quite difficult to find her at stores because she was put on clearance.

My sister actually played with her when I pulled her out of the box because she likes her short hair so much.

I was a bit surprised that Jianidi's feet are not that movable even though they're articulated. But overall, Jianidi Girl Feelings is a very cute doll!

Also the other day I met with my friend and collected my dolls that she had kept for a long while.

Sorry for the mess but I was so tired when I took this photo and my bed is just disorganized. I mean, look at that yellow bath towel! Haha.

Aside from Jianidi, I got a Mattel Nakoma, and Jane (Tarzan), five broken Monster High dolls including one Frankie that needed a repaint, two Liv bodies that I already used for Nakoma and Jane, an Ever After Lizzie Hearts doll, a vintage Jasmine which I could not identify further, a veterinarian Breyer doll, a bunch of doll clothes and accessories, and a small play set that Lottie might like.

Sadly two of those Monster High dolls (Frankie from the Classroom Playset, and Spectra from Dot Dead Gorgeous) are actually duplicates in my collection, but I thought of just styling their hair differently for variety.

My stepmom also came from the States and brought home these magnets she and my brother bought in the Bahamas. I love the ship magnet!

Oh and let me talk about Lottie's outfit. The top and boots are from the Breyer doll mentioned earlier. The skirt is something I've sewn before. And the socks are from a pack of doll shoes I bought one time. Her bracelet is from a gift ribbon. I'm not sure how to call it but those things were tied to a ribbon I removed from a gift, and I thought they'd be nice as a bracelet for her. The Santa hat was thrifted and it doesn't even stay on her head, so I had to use a loom band to secure it.

Anyway, I made a diorama. Hope it's not too late!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Alice Through The Looking Glass White Queen Doll - Jakks Pacific

My sister came home briefly and brought home this doll! Yes!

It's the Alice Through The Looking Glass White Queen doll made by Jakks Pacific!

She's so pale, lol.

I haven't seen the movie yet. I shall watch it when I am in the mood, hehe.

The back of the box.

Red Queen and Alice would be good choices as well, but when I checked Toys R Us, they were very expensive. White Queen, however, was discounted.

The doll is made of hard plastic. Even her head is very firm so I don't see how it's possible to reroot her or rebody her. I don't plan to do those things anyway so I'm good.

She reminds me of a porcelain doll, but not as fragile.

Here she is with the magnets my sister brought home from her European trip: Hamburg, Berlin, Budapest, Vienna, Barcelona, Prague, and Amsterdam. She said she's missing two magnets (Morocco and Lisbon, Portugal) because she said she forgot to buy some, but she'd find a way to complete the set. These magnets are actually my request from her because I also collect magnets from around the world. I think my favourite from this set would have to the Prague magnet because of the clock design. It's very ornate and looks proportionate to my 1:6 dolls.

I can't wait to bring all my dolls together in one place and group the ones with the Alice in Wonderland theme: Zombie Alice, Kitty Cheshire, Madeline Hatter, and Lizzie Hearts (who's still with my friend).
