A Photo Dump! [Part 8]

Finally took a photo of my dentist's posable skeleteon which I mentioned in this post


Look, it stands right below his bigger skeleton companion.


It comes with its own doll stand.


Quite tiny and delicate.


I put it back on its stand and posed it. It's not as posable as I thought it was, but still very cool.


The Ever After High dolls at Toys R Us Glorietta.


That's Darling Charming. She's really beautiful.


Melody Piper.


Rosabella Beauty. She's pretty but I'm not digging her outfit.


Faybelle Thorn. I don't like her lips. It's weird.


Farrah Goodfairy. At first, I was a bit thrown off by her smile, but she grew on me. She's really pretty.


Bunny Blanc, vacant and widely-spaced eyes and all.


Holly O'hair style doll.


The only Dragon Games doll I saw.


Dragon Games Apple White.


Budget dolls with sculpted tops Ashlynn Ella and Apple White. Raven Queen is missing, but I saw her at a different toy store.


New Fashionistas.  There's even that Dolled Up in Dots doll hidden in the back row but I didn't bother to take a photo of it.


So this is the brand new version of the Kelly/Chelsea doll I thrifted last time which became the base for my quick custom doll, Cattleena. This new doll is much more expensive than the lot of dolls I thrifted that time, whew.


A Ken fashion pack. I don't think it's common here.


At Tickles I spotted these soccer themed pens.


Those shoe charms are very interesting. I was thinking that if I get four of these pens, I can make additional shoes for my Moxie Girlz doll, or a Bratz doll (if I have one, which I don't). I can probably carve a hole in there for the doll's pegged feet.


But nope, these pens are so expensive. P99 per piece. NO. Definitely not. Tickles shop items are so expensive, so I pass.


New Sparkle Girlz dolls at a local department store.


They have pastel coloured hair. There were even mermaid dolls, which I think have a better shaped waistline than the regular ones.


Speaking of pastel coloured hair, I have this Frozen Anna bootleg doll that I tried customising into Anna's iced version in the movie, but I failed miserably. I never finished it and lost inspiration, so I thought of a way to salvage her.


I painted her body with glittery red nail polish. I know you shouldn't really use nail polish on dolls because of the damage it can do to the vinyl, but this is a cheap bootleg anyway and it's a fast method to get the job done.


Et voila! My custom Ladybug doll from Miraculous. I don't mind that her hair is lighter than Ladybug's and that she has no bangs. After all, she was intended to be different custom so I'm kind of saving her from being a failure, yes?


I placed too many dots on her suit but whatever. I tied red ribbons on her ponytails, by the way.

Ack! It was too dark so I lightened this photo.

Speaking of Anna, I rebodied my Mattel Anna to a Liv Sophie doll, and Mattel Rapunzel also got the same treatment. They were bobble heads at first, but to fix the problem, I placed a small piece of foam on the neck knob before I attached the head.

These outfits are temporary:
Rapunzel: clone Barbie halter top which I pulled high up her neck to make it look like a crop top, Winx Club Flora skirt
Anna: Barbie sleeveless top, and unbranded shorts

I switched their tops (after taking the photo above) so that they could look more coordinated with each other.

No shoes at the moment. I find it difficult to find shoes that fit Liv dolls. It's quite tempting to just carve their feet smaller with a craft knife so they can fit in Barbie shoes, but nope, I don't want to ruin the dolls. They can stay barefoot for now.


From a trip to a thrift store.


A small doll made by Wilco in Hong Kong. I'm having trouble identifying her.


She has generously rooted hair, a removable top with velcro on the back, posable body (but I find it hard to pose her in the sitting position) and painted pants.

When I tried to look for more information about this doll, I ended up finding photos of a line called We Teens. It seems like this line is the predecessor of the Bratz dolls? Hmm.


The head of the doll can be removed easily.


A photo of the doll's face. I can actually put this doll's head on my miWorld doll's body. I didn't take a photo of it though. :-/


A small bucket of food. The detail of this is pretty good. Oh and I took a solo top shot of the food but I wasn't able to upload it. Oops.


I was pleasantly surprised that this is actually a 3D puzzle of some sort. Nice!

I leave you with photos of bootleg Tinkerbell and The Pirate Fairy dolls.



They have clone Monster High bodies in brown and flesh. There are no normies in Monster High except for Jackson Jekyll, but he's not a girl, so I don't think any Monster High character can match this skin tone.

Yucky You

My dentist loves skeletons. She has a lot of skeletal figurines and mannequins in her office. At first I thought it was a little odd to see her collection in her office, but I've grown used to it after a while. (She even has a frog figure collection, too.)

Anyway, it's been some time since I've been there because I've missed my appointments for the past couple of weeks already. Oops. Well one time I was really about to go, but my brother is getting out of hospital confinement so I had to help him go home. But I digress.

When I sat on the dental chair 2 appointments ago, I found a new skeleton figure on her side table, and I was like whoa. I thought it was cool because it came in its own doll stand. It stands at 6 or 7 inches, I'm not sure, and is quite posable. I didn't take a photo at the time because I keep my phone in my bag which I leave on an ottoman nearby every time I'm on the dental chair.

I asked her where she got it but I didn't get a specific answer. She just said she found it where children's educational books are sold. But but but I've never seen this at our local bookstore... or maybe I haven't really noticed. She said it was cheap. Hmm.

Yesterday I was at the city hall and about to pay some taxes, but the line was so long because some people are trying to beat the deadline for the business tax which was set the next day. While waiting, I decided to eat at the food kiosks located in the parking lot. I had to pass by the local library in doing so, and outside the library is a book stand. I checked out the books over there and saw a book called "Yucky You." That seems odds for a children's book title, isn't it? And why would you call yourself yucky? Isn't it unnecessary self-deprecation? Putting those thoughts aside, I browsed the book and saw a skeleton figure with a doll stand wrapped in plastic. Oh my goodness, it's THE BOOK where the figure came from!! I asked the seller how much she is selling it and she said it's P280. Nah, not my kind of price. So I walked away from it.

Online, I found the book from an educational books website. Here is the link:
It is supposedly sold at P499.75 (Oh really?) but got discounted to P220. P220? P280? That woman jacked up the price, lol!


Here is the book. That warning tape thing above is actually a flap, so you can lift that up and the lower flap, and it will reveal the two books inside plus the skeleton pieces that can be seen through that hole plus the other skeleton parts behind the cover. And the doll stand. God, that doll stands tempts me even more into buying one for myself, but I don't really need those books at all so NAH.

I'll just take a photo of the skeleton doll when I go back to my dentist for my checkup. I've been a bad patient. I know it.
