The challenge!

Hey Gang!

I want to work on stories with the Laurent family! I have been trying to get
them all articulated to make story telling easier.  Most of them are now on
articulated bodies but one!  Steven!

I have been trying to find an articulated body for my Steven doll.  He is one of

the older versions of Steven with the “Philly Fade” (that was one of the reasons

I purchased him) Splash 'n Color Steven.  The older dolls are darker.  The only
doll coming close in complexion is the AA convention male. Yeah, I want him too!
 

As time when on it seems, Steven got lighter and that is about the 
time when Mattel started to make articulated male dolls.   
It seems I am going to have a hard time finding him a body
close to his complexion.

Without his shirt, you can see he has one of the older bodies but not the

one with the gift giving arms.

Here is Steve with Darren and Tre.

As you can see he is closer in complexion to Tre' but Tre'

 has a swivel neck knob.  The Steven head will not fit. 

Darren is much lighter that Steven…

but darker than Toure’ who is on the prince and the pauper body

Prince and Pauper AA doll

So for now he is on a Darrin body until I can find him one closer in 

complexion.

I do like the height this body give him.  It makes him look mature but not old. 

It works well with how I see his style.  BTW, this is the tux with the pink shirt.

It has be altered.

Ok, Thanks For Looking!



Friends For Naveen!

Hey Gang!

So after my Disney Naveen purchase, I thought he could use some company! 
so I added a few other doll of Indian background to my collection.

I added the new Aladdin from Disney! I have named him Amar Khan.  Only

his mom and dad call him Amar.  Everyone else calls him Khan.  I thought

they looked like that would be friends. He has a great smile too! I thought

that they would be the same complexion but Naveen is darker. 

They are some of my college student in Johnston and love hanging out and

having fun.

I love the older Mattel Jasmine doll's face the best.  My only problems with

the older Jasmine dolls is the earring made into the body.  When I found

this one (Holiday Princess Jasmine doll that wasn't like that I had to have

her.  She Is Indira!

She is sporting a combination of clothing to give her the look that I wanted.

Skirt and sweater are Mattel, top and shoes are Liv.

I tried adding a gold dot to the side of her nose as a nose ring.  You can't see

it to well in this picture.

Together!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

I'm Back!

Hey Gang!

I know I've been away for a minute but don't think that I haven't been
having fun with my dolls! I just have been too busy with things at home
and work to post pictures!  Also my tablet is down, so I am back to the
library until my new one arrives. Strange thing, I am having trouble
uploading picture at the library.  I had to up load pictures at work
while everyone was at lunch.  I can't have my nosy coworker look at
my doll blog or know I not working at work.




Have been working on some past projects!  Remember the deers
I purchased.

The ones I got on sale because they were broken.  Well I have been working

on them.  I like to  have a seasonal doll display in the house at the top of the

stairs.  The deer will be a part of this years. 

Let's have a review!

My Latest Head Swap!

Hey Gang!

So here are my new head swaps!  I am just loving reboding with the Keyshia doll body!
Thus far I have done three. 

AA Todd, who will become Kenyatta

 Jessie

and now....Amorie

 She is on the body of the first issued Keyshia!

 Here is a reminder of the 2nd and 1st issue dolls!

                                                              1st and 2nd issue

The 1st issue doll is more of a carmal and the 2nd issue is more of a walnut color.

 I think this head on this body is more in proportion.

 Here she is with her sister Mona.

And what happen to Keyshia's head?

I put her head on a HSM Taylor's body. 

Here she is on that body!

 

A rebodied Keyshia/Taylor doll is available on my dollpage listing.

Family Dollar Store!

Hey Gang!

I saw these Fair Tale High dolls at Family! I think they are about the size
of Winx dolls!  They were only $10.00

 There were a good variety of dolls available.

 They were articulated for $10.00 too.  Their arms, hands and legs.

 They have cute outfits for that price!

 Stocking also.

 I can see the clothes on many of my dolls!

 These would be easily used for my teen dolls.

 I think they will sell well over the Holidays!

I would hope that there would be some left for the after Xmas sales. But
I won't count on it unless I see them fill the shelves soon.

What surprised me about these dolls dolls was the articulation for 10.00!
Even articulated Winx dolls are more than 10.00.  I can't see how well
they are made but they look pretty good.

 The shoes are very nice too. 

Glass slippers!

 They look a lot like Star Doll shoes.

 I think they will work well for my dolls with larger feet.

 They have good colors too!

 I like the sneakers.

There were fashion paks there too!  Not as good as the Sparkle doll paks but

they could be used too.  If you are looking for a few Winx dolls, I have a

few on my dollpage site.

These might be about for sale time!

 Many of  my dolls like animal prints.  There might be a fight over some of these.

OK! Thanks For Looking!
