Quick Craft: Kitty Cheshire's Arm Warmers

When Kitty Cheshire the doll was released, some fans felt they were a bit short-changed because Kitty the doll is missing her arm warmers. They were actually present on her preview photos:

Right: Kitty Chesire without her arm warmers

I also saw a video on YouTube about making arm warmers for her:

Anyway...

I wasn't really planning on making Kitty her arm warmers on purpose. I just happened to be rummaging through my old stuff because I am in the process of moving and downsizing my possessions. I came across this plastic spring key chain and was about to discard it because the key rings were already rusting and I have no use it for anymore when I thought, hmm maybe I can still recycle the spring. Then I thought of Kitty. That's when I decided to cut up two pieces of the spring to size and coil around Kitty's arms:

I think it turned out great, specially since it's not a messy fix at all. As for the fur, I decided not to add those anymore.

I used the excess spring as a necklace, bracelets and anklets for my zombie Rapunzel doll. Recycling!

New Hasbro Disney princesses dolls

Finally had the chance to take photos of the dolls.

Disney princesses with removable dresses: Jasmine, Snow White, Rapunzel, Belle, Merida, Pocahontas, Aurora, Tiana, Mulan. Ariel is not in the photo.

Disney princesses with sculpted tops: Ariel, Snow White, Belle.

The Frozen collection has a separate aisle:

Frozen Anna, Frozen Elsa, Frozen Fever Elsa, Olaf and snowgies set, Anna and Kristoff two-pack.

Not in photo: Frozen Fever Anna.

Frozen Anna. She looks so young, but that's totally fine with me.

Pocahontas. She's so pretty. She's my favourite now.

At the hypermarket, I found Frozen Fever Anna. Still cute. I think her hair just comes in a bun and doesn't have the braids around it, but that's OK.

And the elusive Ariel doll. There's also the Ariel Bubble Tiara doll at a different toy store but I didn't take a photo of it anymore.

There's a nice display of these dolls at Toy Kingdom in SM Mall of Asia, by the way. Some of them are displayed out of the box but still behind a case so I can see them really up close without the distraction of the packaging. Jasmine's shoes are amazing.

Speaking of Hasbro, My Little Pony Equestria Girls dolls have been on sale for a while. I don't want to get any, but if you plan to buy at least two for a good price, then choose this two-pack.

It's the two-pack of Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze.

Sure, these are two of the villains in the series but you'll just pay P600 for two dolls. Compared to the single boxed dolls you can get for P350, this is a little cheaper because that's P300 per doll. And I think Sonata (with the pink top) is cute.

Here's a display of the Equestria Girls dolls in a department store, by the way.

Applejack up close.

I took these photos because they are on a white stand that is placed between their legs. I want to make some for my own dolls.

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.

If only I had the money I could spend for ANYTHING without consequence, I would love to have all the Hit Girl figures I like.

Kick-Ass 2 Hit Girl figure - NECA

Living Dead Dolls: Hit Girl

Ah, I love them all!

A Photo Dump! [Part 7]

*This should have been the sixth photo dump but for some reason, I skipped. I named my next photo dump post as the sixth then.

Finally saw a new Hasbro Disney princess toy and that is this bubble-making Ariel mermaid doll.

I found these truck-shaped toy boxes which I think would be cute for storing dolls. I didn't get any though.

Desktop Creamy Mami gashapon.

I went to an art supplies store called Deovir and asked about primers and varnish for doll repainting, and got recommended with these stuff: an acrylic-polyurethane surface primer and a polyurethane matt varnish. Not in photo is the satin varnish and the gloss varnish.

A mini foosball table! I think it might be a fun prop for dolls.

Miniature Fuji cameras. Not 1/6th in scale but still cool.

Funny Statue of Liberty gashapon. Very odd, but funny indeed.

Desktop... what do I call these? I only recognise Miku (green-haired figure) here.

The only Our Generation aisle I've seen in a toy store. It's at SM Megamall.

I don't really care about those huge dolls. I was more interested in this mini dolls. They're quite expensive though: P999.75

The Rabbids ninja figure I got from my sister in America.

Sailor Moon compacts gashapon. Which are entirely useless (unless you're going to use them as paper weight), but pretty cute.

These gashapon animals sitting down are so cute. Even though I don't like frogs, the sitting frog is the one I want to have, but the other figures are cute too. Adorable!

The doll-sized jewellery holding sofa I saw in Landmark. Its top part can be flipped open.

These vanity kits that hold lotions and body washes in a small tub. The tub is not 1/6th, probably more like 1/12th but it looks cool in gold, and black.
