Brown and Pink Coordinates

I have been a bit unmotivated to write on my blog as of late. Sigh. Anyway...

A few days ago, I made my Mattel Sharpay - Liv hybrid doll wear a Takara Jenny coordinate that consists of a jacket, a belt and pants all in this odd brown pattern. I tried the whole outfit on Made To Move Asha and the pants do not fit her at the waist. As usual I have no appropriate shoes that fit Liv dolls.

I made Fred look more pink.

I found a pink coat at the thrift store, and thought, This is so Fred, so I had to get it. Then I forgot that I have a pink cowboy hat, and found it recently, so I put it on him as well. Now he looks tacky as ever and I love it. The colour is inspired by his old fashions. I looked up photos of this vintage doll and saw that Fred had a lot of pink and tacky outfits, so he has to wear a similar one too!

In other news, I found my cling wrap roll, finally. I forgot that I placed it in the box where I kept my poor Christmas tree, so when I came looking for the tree because I wanted to set it up in our living room (Yes, it's totally acceptable in the Philippines to put up Christmas decorations at home when it's still October), I was pleasantly surprised that it was also there. Now I can make shoes for my barefoot dolls using the wrap and hot glue, haha.

Also this afternoon I found bootlegs of the Shopkins Season 5 blind backpacks! I had to get one set to compare to my authentic ones. Comparison photos of those soon!

And I want to share this photo I found on Tumblr. It made me laugh so much.

Curly, Chloe, and Company

My new toys...

Curly from Paciocchini Babies!
Paciocchini is pronounced like Pat-sio-keenee.

Curly, with her diaper.

Naked Curly!

I think she kneels better without her diaper. Her diaper is made of felt cloth.

Chloe from The Secret Life of Pets. I got her from a McDonald's Happy Meal.

Her face is perfect. She's so bored!

Side-eyeing everything!

And incoming dolls:

Basic Meygana Broomstix (left). She's with Cloetta Spelletta Angelic Sounds, which is my friend's doll.

Meygana here reminds me of Jessica Rabbit. Her eyes are so sultry.

And I like Cloetta's Angelic's patch tights.

This lot of six dolls, omg.

3 Liv dolls for body transplants. 

2 Barbies for body transplants, one of which needs repair, and I will probably transfer the Barbie heads onto bellybutton or TNT bodies, if they're good enough for me.

A Fred doll! He's so handsome! He's from the vintage Sindy and/or Petra line. Now I have another male doll, yes!

And a random puppy. So cute!

And I'm still thinking of unboxing my Curvy Barbie or not. Yes, I have a new Barbie, aww. I wasn't supposed to add it to my collection but due to some unfortunate event, it's mine now. Oh well.

New Moon Sindy Doll Clothes

My order of New Moon Sindy doll items arrived today. Ariel is modelling them for me:

Sindy's pink felt coat with fake fur and small buttons, a pink fatigue shirt that looks like a crop top on Ariel, and pink cargo pants!

The clothes fit her very well!

She also has a pink body bag with small pockets!

So pink and hip!

And there's also a cardboard cutout that looks like a magazine.

Sindy's white shoes are too small for Ariel's Liv feet, but Barbies can wear them. The fake fur on the bedroom slippers fell off,but I thought the slippers still look good without them. I haven't found a doll yet that could wear them. They're quite big but narrow. Hmm...

Who Made You, Sindy?

I found doll items for a doll named Sindy tonight. Really cute pink doll items. But this Sindy doll is not the Trendy Girl Sindy I know. It's a different one. I couldn't find any information about this particular doll because Google Image Search is littered with photos of Sindy made by Pedigree. However, I found an inactive ad on a local classifed ads site.

Sindy on OLX

Hope the ad owner does not mind me posting their doll photos. I'm just using them for reference, not for re-selling their doll... Still, I haven't found out who manufactured this doll at all.

Entitled "I Love Pink" set on the ad. Not sure if that's official.

I'm actually getting the shirt, pants, shoes, bag and jacket from an online seller. Weeee! I think the jacket might fit Takara/Monster High/Liv dolls, but the other clothes might only fit Monster High. I'll see when it gets here on Saturday.

Unknown Sindy's face. It's pretty sweet.

She can bend her knees.

She can sit down.

Here are doll pics sent to me by the seller I transacted with.

Sindy's body is rubberised, which reminds me of the Barbie Dance 'N Flex doll, and some Takara dolls like the Compact Doll and even Pierre because of his bendable legs. Probably Phicen doll, too, but that doll looks more life-like.

And did you notice that Sindy has a hole on her crotch? LOL.

Sindy up close. There's a crease on her stomach. I wonder how sturdy the rubber is, and if that crease goes away when the body is straightened.

Look at that cute baby bum! Adorable!!! I wonder how soft her body is. I want to squish that doll butt now, hahahaha!

I heard the news before that her playsets are sold at Uniwide, but I don't know any branch near my house. Meh...

/So I learned that this is a New Moon Sindy doll.

She is a 2003/2004 reincarnation of the original Sindy doll by Pedigree!

Not all New Moon Sindy dolls are made equal with flexible bodies. Others actually have straight vinyl bodies. Interesting. I like my Trendy Girl Sindy better, of course, but I do not mind having this cute flexible one.

Friday Toy Haul

Ah I bought a lot this time. I kinda wish I didn't, haha!

Here it is. It's a strange lot but let me explain.

This is a La Dee Da fashion pack I got on sale for P200 at Kids Depot. It includes a blue dress, a fur shawl, a bag, a pair of shoes, and two bracelets that can also be used as necklaces. 

The dress is so fun to try on my doll because there are two long pieces of fabric on the chest and I can do whatever with it, like tie them at the back of her neck to turn the dress into a halter, or wrap them across her arms and tie them at the back to give the illusion of sleeves, etc. The problem with this dress is that the clear shoulder straps on the dress snapped when I was trying on and removing the dress from the doll. But the dress is so snug so it shouldn't be a problem even if the straps are now gone.

The shoes are a bit loose, it's so strange. I say this because I bought another fashion pack before and the shoes included in the pack do not have straps in them but are just the right fit for La Dee Da feet. They don't fall off! My salvaged La Dee Dee Tylie as Cotton Candy Crush can attest to this (LOL) as she's only one-legged and is wearing one of the shoes. She will be posted here on my blog soon.

There's another fashion pack I didn't buy at Kids Depot and it should stay that way because I don't have anymore La Dee Da dolls to dress up! It's this one:

I think the only fashion pack I could think of right now that fits Monster High dolls would be the School Cool fashion pack, which is what I want but couldn't find.

Isn't Dee so cute in this outfit? Monster High dolls can wear this uniform too, because the skirt is not constricting for their wide hips!

I also saw a La Dee Da Garden Tea party play set which has been marked down to P300. I was so tempted to get it. But I keep telling myself, why should I? It's just made of two chairs, a table, a lamp post, small accessories and cardboard cutouts.

I mean, it's cool for photography, but I don't know anymore. What do you think?

But I digress.

I found a Sindy doll at the thrift store!! When I saw her face, I just grabbed her and hoped for the best that she was reasonably priced! I got her for P150. When I identified her online, I found out that she's a Trendy Girl doll made by Pedigree Toys from the 1970s. I am surprised that she has... dun dun duuuuuun... rooted eyelashes! I didn't even notice until I washed, dried and styled her. Also I found that one of her legs is longer than the other. I think it's a known Sindy doll defect.

I don't like the dress she came with. It's so long and just not her style.

I found some rubber bag charms for P10 each at a gift shop. I removed them from their rubber straps because I don't need those for my dolls (but maybe I can use them for my keys or USB drive).

At another thrift store I found a dimsum charm (it looks like character siopao), and a bottle of green tea charm with a Korilakkuma on the bottle cap. The bottle is supposed to light up at the bottom but it doesn't work anymore. I also found a base with pegs on top which I can use for one of my anime figures. I bought all three for P30.

To Ms. 2D, I bought the charm, the bottle and the base at Desibel! I think the good dolls in that store are all gone when I visited. It's OK.

I also bought 2 cheap coloured bra straps at the gift shop. I plan to make doll suspenders out of them. Also in the lot are toothpicks I bought at the same gift shop. I thought I need some toothpicks for crafting.

Here is Sindy all groomed and styled. I love her! She has that youthful charm even though her body is quite grown up.

She is wearing a vintage Betty Teen or Gloria (I really don't know) outfit that I got from another doll, and Licca shoes. I am surprised that she has the same feet size as Licca even though Sindy is way taller than her.

I should dress her up in vintage fashion clothes because that's what she was made for, so I'll come up with something in the near future, haha.

Sindy's adorable face reminded me a little of my Moxie Girlz Avery doll so I brought her out again. Her hair has tamed down a bit because I brushed the top part but left the curls at the bottom just the way they are. I switched her maryjanes to these yellow plastic boots I got from a cheap shoe pack because I thought the colours might be a good match to her outfit. At first I thought it looked OK, then it just got weird for some reason, so I put back her old maryjanes.
