Video of the Month! DIY Your Dolls and Action Figures!

Hey Gang!

I came across this video and had to share it with those of you, like me, who are looking for different bodies for your dolls. It is by Underground Action Figures. In this video, she explains how to use different types of heads and neck knobs to create the body you want. If you are looking for body parts, check out Monkey Depot for discount prices on action figures and parts.

Let me know what you think!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Dart!

 Hey Gang!

I also found this guy on eBay!

GI Joe VS Cobra Dart!

Here is one in its original box.  He is one of the few Native American Joes. As you can see, he comes with a lot of cool stuff!  I didn't get any of that with my purchase, but I don't think I would use it anyway.  I have a box full of weapons that I don't use.

Here is the Dart legend!

While on a reconnaissance mission, a three-man unit of GI Joe members vanished without a trace. Dart is sent to the unit’s last known location to find clues to their disappearance. Using his expert tracking skills, he observes a thread caught on a bush, a partial heel imprint, and the angle of the sun at noon. With this information, he follows a trail to a Cobra scouting party that has captured the GI Joe unit. Dart calls in for backup to rescue the team.  

Close up! 

He has a great face! 

My Dart came in a soldier's uniform with a necklace that doesn't work for him.

The necklace seems like it belongs to a kid.

He does have the tattoo....

and the gloved hands

The feet aren't the same color as his body, but they are GI Joe's feet.

So now I am unsure if he will stay in this body.

He is a tracker in his story and will work in a similar capacity here.

Chelsea Boy Dolls Dreamtopia Green Hair Merboy And AA clone Boys

 

Hey Gang!

A while back, I purchased this guy for $3.00!

Promo Photos!

Close up.

I purchased these two, hoping to do a body swap.

It didn't work. The body was a lot lighter than the merman boy's head.

I recently found this doll at Five Below.  I noticed it was darker than the original release.

I did the head-sway with that one, and it was a much better match!

I'm happy with this body!

These guys came to check out his new body! WOW! You can wave!

They are hoping to be next!

I found these clone versions of AA Chelsea boy dolls. One is articulated, and the other is not.

One way you can tell they are clones is that the Mattel AA Chelsea boy dolls don't have the over-to-the-side hairstyle (also known as a quiff). This boy came with an articulated body but no clothes. He has the cutest freckles.

This guy has a larger head and is darker in complexion than many of the AA Chelsea boy dolls.

The closest but a little more red.

This is my Dante. He is the first Chelsea AA boy.  All others were part of the S.I.S. doll line.

Here are two more Chelsea-sized boy dolls. Dreamtopia Sprite AA boy and Color Reveal AA boy. I put them both on a Dollar Tree Zoe doll body.

Pic Nic Tables On The Craft Table!

 Hey Gang!

On The Craft Table!

I have a few picnic tables. I recently found two large tables that I had to add to my collection.

I found two of these on Amazon. It was meant to be used for condiments, but I made them picnic tables like the rest of the tables I own. 

The dimensions are 13" length X 5 1/2 depth X 12" wide. Which is significant.

I will cover the top of the table with cardboard. This will cover the holes and allow me to use the whole table.

I will use a tablecloth for now, but I will make a wood-looking top later.

  I will have to hem the tablecloth. Here are a few dolls at the table for scale.

Each table can fit eight dolls, totaling sixteen dolls. This will work well for gathering and celebrations.

Clone Poppy Parker!

 Hey Gang!

I got this clone of Poppy Parker on AliExpress for $8.00!  There are a number of face sculptures on the site if you search. They may be a little more, but not nearly the price of an sactual Integrity Toys doll.

Doll options!

The face!

Now I will warn you that there are some problems with dolls from China. Returning a doll can take a while. Like with most dolls, sometimes there are imperfections. Most of the discount companies from China often use carrier services other than the normal ones. These carrier services normally aren't too good. You want to sign up for notifications! This way, you will be able to keep an eye on your package.

Warning! Nude Doll!

She is described as the "European Supermodel Doll. There is no box. The doll is shipped in this bag, wrapped in bubble wrap. She made it here in good condition, probably because there is one big shipment from China to a distribution center here in the States. The doll was then given to a carrier to ship to me.

She has the Poppy Parker body style. The body is pretty sturdy, but not as sturdy as an IT doll.

The face is really nice, but she doesn't have the rooted eyelashes that an IT doll would have.

She has the articulation you would expect from IT dolls. The hand also has the same shape.

Here she is in a Defa Lucy outfit. The slim jeans that come to the ankle or other dolls, only fall at the mid calf. on her.

Her hands have nails that look like that have nuetral polish on them.

She has Defa Lucy feet.

Here she is with LaBrom James.
