May is Disney Month! I have Bert!

 Hey Gang!

I broke down and purchased Bert!

Promo Photo!

I purchased him mint in the box! The box was wrapped in plastic.
Back of box.
He is shown posed on a carousel horse, waving. His outfit consists of a white shirt with a blue bow tie, white pants that snap in the back, and a white jacket with red, gold, and orange stripes.
The jacket has great detail! It is lined and snaps closed.
It has a pocket on the front.
The jacket has a slit in the back.
He wears a straw hat with a band that picks up the colors in his outfit.
He has a cane! WOO HOO! None of my other dolls has a cane! I have plans for that cane.
Blue socks to match the bow tie with white shoes.
Oh, and white gloves.

Dick Van Dyke is one of my favorite actors! I loved hin in the Dick Van Dyke show. At 99, he is still working. He stared in a Colplay video on his 99th birthday.



OK, Thanks For Looking!

May is Disney Month! The Evil Queen!

 Hey Gang!

I found a 1998 Disney Evil Queen doll on Facebook Marketplace! It is a good place to find doll-related items locally. You don't have to pay shipping. You can just pick it up from the seller. The doll was out of the box, and the box wasn't in great shape.

Here are some photos I found of the doll in the box.
Box flaps open!
Back of the box.
She has a lovely face, and her face paint is dramatic. Unlike some of the other Evil 
Queen dolls, this doll has rooted hair.
It is a little past her shoulder and a widow's peak!
This particular doll was a must-have for me since I read about her in the 
October 2000 issue of Barbie Bazaar!  As you can tell from the tape, this magazine is well-loved!
Here is the story that they did on the Evil Queen doll! They said that she was a great candidate for customization.
The doll looks like the animated character from the movie.
The article says that she was modeled after Joan Crawford. As you can see, it would be easy to make her look like Joan, as in the bottom right corner.
Her cheekbones aren't the result of makeup contouring. Her face has hollowed-out cheekbones.,pouty lips and highly arched eyebrows. She has green eyes with blue and purple eyeshadow.

Out of the box


Warning! Nude doll!

The Queen has the 1966 bodies but with different arms.
Raquelle Fashionista will be her body donor.  This is one of those matches that don't look good side-by-side, but it works well when it is done!
Here she is done!
She is the hostess of Mortata of the Night! A Friday night horror movie TV series! It debuted on Halloween. 
Hello, it is me...Mortata! Hey everyone, and Happy Halloween!

May Is Disney Month! Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns Jack Doll!

 Hey Gang!

I recently purchased a Jack doll from Mary Poppins Returns. Jack, a cockney lamplighter and former apprentice of Bert, the chimney sweep from the original film.is pictured below.

He looks like Lin-Manuel Miranda, who plays Jack in the movie. He has a great smile.
He has a great outfit too! It is very dashing for a lamplighter. Here he is with the light stick.
and a hat,
The Jacket, vest, and shirt are all attached.  BOO! OK, I'm over it now, but they are well-made.

He wears brown pinstripe pants. The pants fasten in the front.
Brown boots.

Without the hat, he has dark brown hair with a side part. His hair is gelled.

Warning! Nude Dolls!

He has the 2009 Harley-Davidson/Texas Cheerleader body. He is articulated at the head, arms, elbows, wrists, knees, and feet. It is my favorite of all the articulated male bodies.

I really like him, but I would also like to own the Dick Van Dyke doll from the original Movie!


OK, Thanks For Looking!

May is Disney Month! Another Lola!

 Hey Gang!

Another Lola!

Besides their 12-inch dolls, Disney has done and is doing. They have also done a few 10-inch dolls. I have posted several High School Musical dolls that are 10-inch or Skipper size, and I have also posted about my 11 1/2 inch Lola.

My 11 1/2 inch doll rebodied onto a Disney princess body.

But I wanted to introduce you to my 10-inch Lola doll! I got her off eBay. This isn't her original outfit.

The Lola doll was sold as part of a set..Hannah and Lola. 


Or as a single doll. Lola in 2008.
Lola in the TV series:
In the show, Hannah Montana is the superstar alter ego of Miley Stewart, and Lola is the alter ego of her friend Lilly Tuscott.

In my opinion, the Lola character always has the best outfits and wigs. I love both outfits pictured on the 10-inch doll. I would love to have the outfit of the 11" Lola doll in the Hannah and Lola Popstar Party.


The wig hair colors for Lola (the character) are pink, orange, and purple. She even wore a turquoise one as the character of Lola LaBamba.

The face sculpt used for Lola is....
1985 Diva or Midge.


Warning: nude doll!


She and the Hannah doll use a Skipper body.
I have rebodied her onto a Four Realms Clare doll.

I'm calling her Penelope!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

May is Disney Month and May is Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders Month!

 Hey Gang,

May is Disney Month, and May is Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders  Month! What better time to feature the Moana 2 Loto doll!

Promo Photos!

She stands 10" tall..

Close-up!
This Disney doll by Mattel is even being sold on Disney.com!
Here is what Disney says about her. The magic in the details:

Fashion doll features Loto

Poseable

Authentic to film costume

Removable top and skirt with tapa print

Molded tool belt and implements

Rooted, styled hair.Her beautiful, wavy hair moves as much as her articulated arms and legs. Translation: Lots of gel and hair, arms, and legs don't really move

Comes in a blister pack

Inspired by Disney's Moana 2 (2024)

My doll 

Close-up!
 Top and skirt with tapa print, and belt.
She has large feet like the Encanto dolls.  I wonder if she can wear their shoes?
She has the basic five points of articulation. Head, arms, and legs.
All her outfit pieces fasten in the back.
Her hair is very soft, surprisingly. No gel. She has a blonde curl on one side at the top. I think that is different from how the character's hair is in the movie. I think it is more of a wave in the movie.
She is wearing a hair net to keep her curls in place.
Her eyes are large and pixelated. She has a beauty mark on her cheek. Her teeth are painted, but there is a dark spot on one side.
She is taller than Skipper, who is 9 1/2 inches.

Warning: Nude Doll!

She has thick legs and thighs. I don't think she will be able to wear many of Skipper's pants. She might be able to fit Skipper tops.

The only Encanto doll's shoes she could fit were Delores's.
Here she is in regular clothes.
