New Thrifting Haul, and G.I.R.L. Force [something] So Wild Creanna doll


The other day, I thrifted more toys.


More 7-11 Paddington bears, and a doll! I got the doll for P75, then the bears for P24 each, for a total of P147.


I learned that this is a Pretty Cure Splash Star doll. She's called Cure Bloom.  Her original hairstyle is somewhat still in place, but without her magical girl outfit, this looks ridiculous. I just tied her hair a little at the back of her head so that this part of her hair would lay flat.

I've always wanted an anime doll of this size. She's my second anime doll, and also my second Pretty Cure doll. She and Cure Black should meet some time!


My bears here are wearing interesting jackets. I am more interested in their clothing than the actual bears, haha. Here's Barcelona, Spain.


New York.


Shanghai, China.


And Rome. Cure Bloom was wearing this jacket when I found her.

These jackets look good on my Monster High dolls. The colours and design look suitable on them, so that's why I try to collect Paddington's clothes. Paddington's hats really fit their heads well, too. I didn't get the London bear though because I thought the design looks bland. 


So far, I have six jackets out of nine in the series above.


I'm curious about this though, because it seems to be a different set. I want to get the purple Paris bear!!


From this set, I only have two: the red plaid jacket and the green jacket. I would like to have that yellow raincoat. It reminds me of Muddy Puddles Lottie!


My online purchase also arrived on the same day I thrifted. Yes!


It's G.I.R.L. Force [something] So Wild Creanna! Her hair is much shorter here but I do not mind. She came in a Barbie dress, a freebie the online seller gave me due to the delay of the shipment of this doll.


Here is Creanna nude. Look at those curves! Look at her breasts! Look at her belly! Look at her thighs!


She has limited poses but when I get her to pose, she's wonderful.

I got her because I thought she could be a great swimsuit model. These photo stories (1 | 2) further proved my theory.


Cure Bloom looks puny next to Creanna.


Her collarbone!!!

It's difficult to dress her up because she's such a big girl, but I'll come up with something. The bikini top my spare Barbie TNT body is using in this post is on her now, and just as I thought it fits her well. I am thinking of making swimsuits for her. Exciting!

In Which I Thrift More Bears


So here's another thrifting haul. Three 7-11 Paddington bears, a commemorative bear and a Neon Genesis Evangelion Shinji figure with no arms.

The pink coat bear, the commemorative bear and the Shinji figure cost me P60 altogether, while the two other bears cost me P36.


Here's one of the bears. I just need the coat and the hat. His green boots are missing, aw.


The second bear. I just need the coat and the hat as well. It says 'Amsterdam' on the back of his coat.


The third bear. It says 'Hong Kong China' at the back of his coat.


The floral shorts did not come with the outfit. However, at the thrift store, I found the shorts on its own in the toy bin, so I tried it on the bear. Then I bought the bear with the shorts still on and the seller didn't notice it.


A commemorative bear from Hong Kong. Not sure what this outfit is supposed to be. Is it for the postal office?


I couldn't remove the shorts without removing the bear's feet. So sad. I just hot glued the feet to the legs afterwards. It doesn't look pretty, but who cares.


So the Shinji figure I bought doesn't have arms. It's supposed to look like these:


It's not a big deal though. I thought I would just add replacement arms for it.
  

I have a small hollow and unarticulated doll from a different haul. I thought I can just cut off the arms and use it for Shinji.


I cut off the arms to size. Surprisingly one of the arms fits Shinji when I haven't even glued it yet.


Another shot but without the doll head.


Here is Shinji modelling his right replacement arm.


After the body transplant.


Looks good!


I tried on the outfit of the commemorative bear on some of my dolls. It looks hoochie on Aurora.


Aurora, stop putting your hands in your pants! Haha.


Here is Liv doll Sophie wearing it. Still a little hoochie and the hat just sits on her big head.


Another shot of Sophie.


Howleen (still with no arms) is swimming in the outfit. She's too thin for this.


This might be Licca's style? It still looks baggy on her though. Oh well. Someday I will have a doll that can wear these clothes.

A Photo Dump! [Part 5]


A small thrift store toy haul. I forgot how much I paid for everything. P100? I don't remember. I took this photo then forgot about it. Meep meep.


A miniature Nintendo DS cellphone charm. It came with a miniature video game of Kimi no Tame Nara Shineru (I Would Die For You, as translated). I don't know what game that is. I just read it off the cover.


A miniature pet carrier.


The door of the pet carrier opens and closes nicely. The handle is too small for a doll's hand though. This pet carrier reminds me of Go Bye Bye Puppy N Kitty. An example is here. My Cut The Rope figures can fit in here.


A miniature bowl of popcorn. It's made of hard rubber, I think.


A Bathing Girl Beth from McDonald's. Here is the complete set.


Beth's robe comes off. It actually fits Maddie!! You can see her wearing it in the background here.


A Paddington Bear plush. I have no use for the bear but I do with everything else he came with, which are the hat, the coat, and the boots.


The coat can be a little tricky to remove because of those wooden beads that act as buttons of the coat. The hat is sewn in the front and back of the bear's head but I was able to cut the thread. 

My Catrine DeMew- BFC Inc body hybrid is wearing the hat which fits perfectly and the coat. I thought Paddington's coat would suit Catrine very well because Paddington's fashion is based in London and Catrine is from Europe.

I don't remember how the boots were secured, but because the bear's feet are round, the insides of the boots are also round. That means my dolls can't wear them just yet. I have to slice the soles off and carve out the excess plastic to make some ~wiggle room for doll toes. I still have to put the soles back. The material resists my tubed glue for some reason (I suspect it might resist hot glue too) so I might use super glue next. Hmm


Remember my miniature Kitkat bench? I also tried sitting Red Ranger and Kirk from Star Trek. They fit on the bench! Note that I don't watch Star Trek. I just thought this action figure looks nice so I bought him at the thrift store back then as well. I forgot how much he cost me. He came with his gun but I kept it somewhere. I'll look for it when I finished moving.


My Takara compact doll CD8 on the Kitkat bench. I don't want to bend her at the knees because doing so might damage the vinyl on her legs.


A Lalaloopsy doll I thrifted, plus an outfit for a Lalaloopsy doll! I found both on the same day but they were in different bins.


This is Squiggles N' Shapes. She really does come plain like this. It's because she originally came with neon markers and you can colour her with them. Her original dress is in black and white and you can colour that too.

Her dress is owned by Crumbs Sugar Cookie.


I cleaned her up using acetone (not pure), and it removed the black paint on her button eyes and lips, plus the heart shape on her bum. It's OK.


Here she is all cleaned up and wearing the Crumbs Sugar Cookie dress.

I wanted to paint her as a clown, like this doll on the left.


I wasn't thinking of painting her with colours that match Crumbs Sugar Cookie at all.


Here is the finished product. Her new doll colours clash with her yellow and pink dress but I don't care. I gave this doll to my niece (instead of the Winx Club doll).


The Lelia mould! This doll in particular is such a mess.


See what I mean?


There's a doll kitchen set with her too, but this is definitely not from the Lelia Dream series.


Her face. Her top lip paint looks off on one side.


Last, this is my ninja Rabbids figure from McDonald's that came all the way from New York!
