Pretty In Pink

My Mattel Disney-Liv dolls have been dressed up in pink Barbie dresses.

Ariel's dress - This came from a Barbie doll my stepmom found in the house when she was decluttering. It seems that the straps of the dress are broken and removed.

Rapunzel's dress - I thrifted this dress. It's originally from Barbie Endless Curls.

Anna's dress - A dress I bought from an online seller. The straps are broken and removed as well.

/It's a Barbie Color & Wash Salon dress.

Elsa's dress - I thrifted this dress. I'm not so happy about those silver straps because they are fading and are quite tricky to fix during dressing up, but they look good on the doll.

/It's a Barbie Loves Glitter dress.

I was watching CSI on my laptop, which is on the background. Also behind them is a small photo album where I keep my Barbie doll clothes organised.

Elsa is Here

I finally got my order!

I got two Liv dolls, and a Mattel Frozen Elsa doll. One of the Liv dolls is discoloured, but I do not mind.

Elsa up close. I like the Frozen dolls from Mattel. The ones from the Disney Store are nice, too, but Mattel dolls are more accessible to me online.

Here is my gang of Disney dolls using Liv doll bodies.

Rapunzel got the discoloured Liv body, then Elsa got Rapunzel's old body. I didn't do anything to Anna, then I rebodied Ariel from a Barbie bellybutton body to my newest Liv body.

Note that Elsa has black scratches on her chest. Those scratches were already there when I bought it at the thrift store. I wonder what happened.

Oh how I wish I have a Nakoma doll, and that I have a spare Liv body for her. 

Receiving Zombie Alice

I got a notice from the postal office about a parcel. I felt confident that it's the Zombie Alice doll from Once Upon A Zombie, which I had been waiting for for so long.

This is the box I got.

I opened it and found a long piece of brown paper inside.

It's here!!! Alice is home!

I can't believe it. Thank you, OUAZ!

I had to pay P112.00 for the basic customs fee. I told the people there that she is a prize so I wasn't asked to pay more than that amount.

Her head looks so dainty!

I removed the white hair ties on her head because her hair got a bit messy when I unboxed her.

The back of the box. Notice there's a Zombie Peter Pan on it. I wonder when OUAZ will release its first ever zombie prince doll.

I tried my best to release the doll without ruining the whole box, because that box art is so pretty. I think I did well. The cardboard backing is still intact and the plastic is still attached to it.

Ready to haunt

Too dead to function and form a heart with their hands correctly

My zombie girls. Ghoulia's not ready to join them because I haven't dealt with the missing hands and arms issue yet.

I'll talk about the doll in more detail next time. I haven't even taken off her clothes yet to inspect her body. -_-

The Dead and Undead

I gotta welcome the newest member of my doll collection. Drum roll, please...

Bootleg Zombie Rapunzel (left) presents... Zombie Alice from Once Upon A Zombie!! She's finally home with me! More details about her arrival, unboxing and my thoughts of the doll on a later post.

Heh, they're standing on my laptop with a New Moon skin. I badly needed a laptop skin and happened to find this one at a bookstore for P50. It's a very good deal! And I like Taylor Lautner, ok. He's a nice dude.

YAAAAAAAASSSSS!!!! For now, Bootleg Zombie Rapunzel, Zombie Alice and Spectra are hanging out on the dusty top of my book shelf. Zombies and ghost, yeah. (Wait, why didn't I put Ghoulia next to the zombie girls instead of Spectra? Oh right, that's because I haven't fixed my only Ghoulia doll yet. Next time...)

Shoe charms

At CDR-King I found some pens on sale. BOGO @ P10, what a deal!! I bought two pairs!

I don't immediately need pens because I have a lot at home, but what made me get 4 pens are the shoe charms attached to them.

At the store, I thought they just might fit my miniature dolls!

So... I tried these on them...

Rapunzel's feet can slide through the holes of the boots so I say it fits her.

Dawn's feet are too big for the holes, but I tried shaving off some of the plastic with a craft knife to make the holes a little bigger. I guess it worked.

I managed to put her feet through the holes, but you can tell by the shadow that she can only fill in half of the boots.

Anyway, I am just glad my miniature dolls have shoes now. Oh Rapunzel is still naked, sorry about that...

Basket totes and more

Today at a grocery store, I found a bag of small candies and some doll basket totes. It was very cheap: P9.55. I bought one pack.

The basket totes are cute. They're made of plastic and are textured so they look like they are woven. The candy is crap. I ate two sticks and that's it. I'm just going to toss the rest in the trash.

I didn't buy the other bagged goodies I saw at the grocery. I saw other bags filled with the same candy and some doll shoulder bags but I don't like the design of the bags. I also saw another bag filled with candy and doll hair brushes and a lone bag filled with, yes, candy and some doll mugs. I didn't get the mugs either because I'm more interested in fashion items. And the handle of those mugs are not big enough so that a Barbie's hand can be inserted through it. so no, thanks.

By the way, here are some of the shoe charms I bought from CDR-King.

I have five pairs in total, I think. I have another dark pink pair and a green one, which Frankie is wearing and won't remove because the colour matches her lipstick, haha.

And I found these hair ties and I bought them for P10 each. Each hair tie comes with 2 top hat charms that I could just remove and use for my dolls.

Here they are together with my mini Rapunzel doll which I fixed with hot glue so her right leg cannot be moved anymore. I think I need to use some wires to make the top hats into headdresses.

Oh I thrifted this doll dress. I had no idea it's from 2011 Holiday Barbie:

I bought it for P75. Is it a good deal? I have no idea when it comes to Barbie...

I saw these at Landmark, btw, but note that I didn't purchase any.

These are made of tin so they're really sturdy and can be used for other things. Not sure about the scale but luggages are bulky anyway so they might look good with 12 inch fashion dolls.

Bratz Kidz, and Rapunzel mini doll

I thrifted these two dolls on separate occasions.

This Bratz Kidz doll that just confuses me...

I can't identify this doll. Also I find it strange that it has no articulation in the body at all!

I bought this doll for P20 from a street vendor outside the Quezon City hall.

Her hair is very thick though so that's cool. I've started painting it with a base coat. I'm not done with the repaint yet!

And here is Rapunzel from the Disney Tangled Ever After exclusive mini princess doll set. Her right leg is about to come off and she has bite marks on her legs and hands. She's almost the same size as my Dawn doll so I thought it's cool that Dawn will have a companion very soon when I'm done fixing Rapunzel. I actually hot glued her right hip joint so her right leg is stuck in that position forever. It's OK because I just plan to display her as a mannequin anyway.

Zombie Princess bootleg body transplant

I found this Once Upon A Zombie bootleg a while back.

As you can see, it's only the face that is worth seeing here. The body it came with is just your generic doll bootleg body with thin legs and odd looking feet. What I like about OUAZ dolls is the articulation and this bootleg is missing that.

Here are the other dolls I managed to photograph months before they were finally taken off the shelves at Toy Kingdom.

After Rapunzel, I particularly like Cinderella (the zombie in pink and yellow dress) but I only had a budget for one doll. And at the time I bought Rapunzel, the dolls were priced at around P330. When these were on clearance, they were sold at P150 or P200 and all stocks left were probably moved to SM Hypermarket because that was where I saw the marked down dolls.

Anyway, I still want to modify my bootleg. One time I picked up a Frozen Elsa body at the thrift store. Someone pulled off Elsa's head off of the body and bought it on its own. I know because at one point I was haggling with the cashier for the full doll. But even without a head, I still wanted to get the body because it has articulation on the elbows, knees and ankles. The only problem is that the hands are missing.

But remember that I picked up some spare action figure hands at Toy Con. I thought the hands would work on the doll body even though they are quite big.

I actually shaved the pegs of the hands to size beforehand.

I placed the bootleg near the Elsa body. The Elsa body is rosy and pale in comparison to the bootleg.

I decided to paint the Elsa body and hands with acrylic paint. I tried my best to match the colour. Then I sealed everything with Mod Podge. This is the outcome:

When dressed, this is how the doll looks like now:

I think she is ready for Halloween!
