Doll Impulsions (Part 4)

A small gashapon machine, with smallest toy capsules ever, haha! Must be from Japan.

The seller wrote on their post that this is a Hasbro doll, but I wonder what it is. I love her hair.

A vintage Steffie sculpt with a tan skin tone!! I wish someone rescues her. She is being sold for P65. That's a good deal!

Doll Impulsions (Part 1)

I really haven't been a good blogger lately, lol, mainly because I'm having difficulty transferring photos from my phone to the computer. So in the mean time, I will do a lot of writing. I still look at dolls online, and sometimes I find things I want to buy but couldn't because I just can't afford to spend at the moment. So I'm starting a series of posts called Doll Impulsions, as a way to curb my spending, hahaha!

Aah! I'm looking at that Hasbro Pocahontas doll, and that tiny Novi Stars doll with multiple arms. I don't want to buy them even though I know that Pocahontas doll is already cheap, and that Novi Stars doll is hard to come by.

This MiWorld OPI set with the tiny nail polish and stuff!! These things would look cute in a diorama, but the rest of the accessories are too tiny for 1:6 scale.

Pinkie Cooper's pet, Li'l Pinkie!! I already have one but it's missing its ears and her scarf. 

I don't want to buy this doll, but oh my, look at how big Jessie's eyes are. They are looking into your soul! Haha.

This proud poodle! I like collecting pets, but she's too pricey for me.

This other dog is so cute. She even has a skirt!

This photo is from the seller I transacted with, and I purchased the tall doll from her. It's a Hi:Glamm doll and her name is Kit! I've always been curious with Hi:Glamm dolls and even Leggy dolls from the 70s, so I was glad I found one online for a cheap price.

My friend and I went to this place where there are lot of gardening stuff sold. She bought some tiny stones for her garden, and gave me a small bag of stones for free. It's gonna be perfect for my diorama making!

I've Gone Back To Toys R Us

It's been a while since I've been to Toys R Us, and so when the opportunity came, I just had to go there and look around.

Twozies are finally here. They're quite expensive though. These figures remind me of Kewpie so much!

Nah I don't think I can afford buying any blind box soon.

The Ever After High shelf.

Apple White. I didn't like Apple's old face, it was so sad looking, so this reboot face is much better for me. But it's still bland, so I'm still not feeling Apple. She's just not my favourite.

Bunny is pretty cute. Her smile though is not something I prefer for her because her character is a bit shy or reserved, and I feel that her smile now doesn't reflect that.

I like Raven. She's one of my favourite characters in the series. When I first saw the promo photos of Raven's new face, I was disgusted. But it has grown on me since then. I like her face here. Even though she's expected to become evil because she's the daughter of the Evil Queen, she's good and definitely one of the nicest girls in the Ever After High campus.

OMG Venus from Gloom and Bloom is on sale for P500. I swear, this doll is the one that made me understand Monster High's appeal. The dress is so perfect and her hairstyle looks awesome with the undercut! I didn't get her though because I'm saving my money for a concert, lol.

I was thinking of getting Skelita's signature doll too because it was on sale for P500, but I didn't get her either. Look, I'm at the point where I know I should stop collecting Monster High dolls for a while because I have tons to salvage and fix, and the reboot couldn't come anymore timely.  I just feel my collecting interests have changed and I'm shifting to something else, I don't know what, but I know that Monster High is still close to my hobbyist heart, lol.

Barbie accessory packs! This is awesome!

I like this one. It's good for scenes at the beach!

5 pairs of shoes for P299.75? Not bad. That's like P60 for each pair and that's like the same price for bootleg Barbie shoes sold online, and these ones are authentic! And you don't need to pay extra for shipping. I think it's worth it.

Sushi set!

This Barbie Dreamtopia playset for Kelly! It's so cute!

I feel that Lottie can sit in there just fine. But she can't sleep in there because it's too small for her. Ah! It's so cute!

Barbie furniture sets!!!

For the beach!

For the dining room!

For lounging in the backyard, perhaps!

For the living room!

Ah!!! So so cute!

I think I've seen these Disney Descendants Jewelbilee dolls before, so they're not really new.

Ally is ok. Not my favourite.

By the way, I found a signature Ally doll for P500 but I thought hard and decided not to get her either. I have two Evies now; those should suffice as my only Descendants dolls in my collection. I know I have a small collection of Alice in Wonderland themed dolls, but I'm not feeling her doll for some reason even though I think she's adorable.

Evie! My dear Evie! She looks so sassy!

Whoa, a budget Mal doll? Non-articulated elbows but with knee joints? What...

Nah, I'm not feeling this either.

Hasbro Ariel and her stuff.

Snow White and her artsy fartsy skirt!

She looks cute from this angle.

Barbie budget doll packs. Hmm.

These are the old budget dolls. I don't know if it's really a good deal to get them.

A cutie patootie Barbie with a rainbow inspired outfit and pink sculpted hair!

Num Noms that light up!

Yeah they're expensive.

A metals die cast of the Red Ranger from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! I just examined this one because I have a small collection of Red Rangers.

Ready For Transport

I've been decluttering lately and figured that I should already set aside the dolls that don't need my immediate attention or look somewhat complete to me. They will be transported to my new place soon.

Disney Store Pocahontas and Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)

Both Pocahontas and Aurora were from the thrift store. I bought them nude and their hair was frizzy so I had to boil wash and even trim their hair a little. I got Pocahontas' dress from an online seller, and Aurora's dress from the thrift store recently. I love the length of Aurora's dress. And I'm glad it cleaned up well because when I bought it, the white collar was brownish.

My unarticulated Jasmine would be glad to be reunited with them.

As much as it's fun to dress up my Liccas, I'm quite satisfied with them wearing matching maid outfits.

Bratzillaz' Meygana Broomstix. I really like her side glance. I don't have any ideas yet of what I could add to her look. Until then, she's getting stored and later on displayed.

Jem from Jem and The Holograms. I finally trimmed off her skirt, but I got lazy to hem the skirt so I just taped it down, lol. I also do not want to paint her shoes magenta anymore. She's a big girl, so she's going to stay behind the smaller dolls and her shoes will be hidden from view anyway when I get around to organising my doll shelf.

I'm thinking about Zombie Alice if she should stick around until Halloween because... Halloween. I mean, who would be the one to eat brains during this day when she's not around, right?

My three male dolls. Gaah look at Justin Bieber's crazy looking eyes due to the glare.

Pierre is wearing the outfit he was wearing when I bought him from an online seller. I still haven't made him a nice dark coat to go along with his outfit, but I'm not in a hurry, you know.

I don't have a lot of Ken stuff, so Justin and Fred ended up with baggy shirts and loose shorts/pants which I tightened by tying the loose waistband with rubber band.

So remember my two Liccas earlier? I made them wear uniforms. Too cute.

This bright blue outfit is made of fabric and felt cloth! That's why the jacket looks stiff.

Lastly I decided to dress up a rescued Barbie Fashionistas doll and made her wear a 2011 Holiday Barbie dress meant for a Model Muse Barbie. I'm glad it fits her. I have a problem with that shoulder strap though because it's quite difficult to put it on her shoulder so it ends up hanging on her arm, but that's OK. I had to use a saddle stand for her because if I use a generic Barbie stand, then the stand gets caught up in the skirt and I couldn't display the skirt properly. Underneath, Barbie's feet are somewhat floating. I already made her wear Barbie clone heels but she's still floating a bit. Could it be that Model Muse dolls are much taller than regular Barbies? I have no idea because I've never seen a Model Muse upfront together with a Barbie to be able to make a comparison.

Barbie's earrings are her stock earrings, and her necklace is just a ball-and-chain key chain I wound around her neck twice.

I still have other dolls I've put aside that I haven't photographed yet such as Jenny, Mimi, Twilight Sparkle, Chiffon, and Simba Cinderella. Soon. The dolls above are not going anywhere just yet anyway. They're just stored in two reusable bags, ready for transport right now.

What I have left in my toy box now are the rest of my Barbies, my Liv doll hybrids, some bootleg dolls, and my broken Monster High and Ever After High dolls. I consider my Barbies and Liv doll hybrids as models so they do not have permanent clothing, while my Monster High and Ever After High dolls need work on their replacement arms and new handmade clothing before I set them aside. I still have a lot of work to do! After I'm halfway done, then I can finally move on to making a backdrop for photography, and even simple dioramas to make my doll photos more interesting. So many plans, hey.
