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:

Doll Fakies

I was at a small toy store and found these dolls. They look good. The brand is called My Sikaly.

I almost bought one because I like the outfits and the doll's face isn't so bad. I don't have this sculpt either.

Then last night I was browsing a Facebook album of a doll seller and learned that these are ripoff versions of the MyScene Icy Bling line.

Let me compare them:

Delancey

Chelsea

Madison

Kennedy

MyScene, My Sikaly, get it?

And isn't it Christina Milian on the box of the My Sikaly dolls? Or someone else?

Now that I've seen the originals, I think I prefer the pink fake doll the most because its outfit is the closest to the original MyScene dolls. But no, I won't buy any of these. I have too many dolls, anyway.

I also saw these at the same toy store.

It's just called Fashion Girl. It totally reminds me of It's A Girl Barbie:

A comparison:

What a poor copy. The sleeves of the bootleg doll aren't even puffy. And a pet dog instead of a teddy bear? LOL.

I still like looking at dolls like these even though they're fake. 

Peppa-mint and Maddie

I just noticed that Shopkins Shoppies doll Peppa-mint from the Chef Club series reminds me of Ever After High's Madeline Hatter from the Sugar Coated line.

Here's Peppa-Mint (Chef Club):

Then exchange her shoes with her signature doll:

And it would resemble something similar to Madeline Hatter:

Look at their hair colour! Look at their apron! their dripping chocolate skirt with pink/white stripes! Look at their chocolate waffle shoes with a scoop of dripping ice cream on top!

If I ever find Peppa-mint at the thrift store, I'd be totally game to transplant her head to a Monster High or Ever After High body.

Rhian and Curvy

My friend and I met recently, and at the time I unboxed my Spring Into Style Curvy Barbie. My friend examined my doll and thought, she looks familiar... Then she said, "She looks like Rhian Ramos." Rhian Ramos is a local actress here, and I could see the similarity.

I chose this photo of Rhian because her hair is kept together on one side, just like Curvy Barbie here.

I like my Curvy Barbie. I think I'll start calling her Rhian, heh.

Clone Barbie Dresses

I was browsing Lazada when I found clone Barbie dresses that I thought looked familiar, so I made comparisons!

Barbie's Color Me Glam dress.

Summer's Fashionistas outfit in 2012, I think.

Barbie's Endless Curls dress, similar to the comparison I made here.

A Fashionistas fashion pack. The third photo in the comparison came from my old post.

I'm not so knowledgeable about Barbie fashion, so these are the only ones I could come up with. :D

Jianidi Doll on Sale

So I went to the toy section at my local SM department store and saw this display of Jianidi dolls: Girl Feelings... dun dun dun... with the orange tag.

Man, why would you do this to me, SM??? You know I've been looking at these dolls for so long but resisted, and now you put it on sale...

Jianidi's articulation is pretty sweet. They even have ankle joints. And their dress is pretty. I particularly like... hmm, I actually never thought about that. Perhaps the yellow or orange skirt, but I do not mind getting the other two...

What am I saying?? I already vowed to stay off of buying dolls these days, particularly Barbie. And I think I'm done buying Monster High dolls, too. Not because I hate them now; it's just that I have to focus on fixing them, styling them, photographing them, and displaying them. I don't have to get more because I have lot of work cut out for me.

But yeah, if you're looking for a very pale Barbie-like doll with sweet articulation, this is it!

Meanwhile, I found new dolls at the toy aisle.

These Barbie clone dolls are called Glamorous Sariel. Their face sculpt really looks good. If you inspect their legs in this type of box, you could see that they have decent legs, not chopsticks-thin at all.

I like the purple dress on the doll on the left. Not sure if they have decent legs as well because I couldn't see past their skirt.

Had to crop this because I just realised that my face is shown on the packaging, LOL!!

This doll has very thin limbs, so the quality of the doll does vary, I guess. Anyway, I recognise the design of that dress. I have one and it's from Barbie Endless Curls.

Here is a comparison I made.

The copy is so bad, it hurts.

I end this post with these odd-looking pens...
