After The Holiday Sales!

 Hey Gang!

Here are the things I could get after the holidays on sale! Everything but the encased house is from Target.

Everyone said that they saw these on sale in Walmart but mine never had these. I found the in Target.

When I saw this as a plant person, I thought of an Edwardian Case.

If I remove the white balls, these can be used year-round!

 I think I can remove the horns and make them baby caribou.  Then I will have a small hurd.

I have two of these but, this one might be smaller.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

On The Craft Table! Bodies From China!

 Hey Gang!

I purchased a few clone dolls and bodies from China. The bodies are similar to the older Barbie doll Fashionista body. I ordered one a few years ago but now they have more body styles and complexion.

Warning Nude bodies!

They are normally listed as 1/6-30cm moveable fashion doll bodies.

Here are just a few of the body types and complexions.

So here is what I got!

I ordered these bodies hoping I could use them for some of my off-brand and clone dolls. Many of these dolls have poorly made bodies that have broken over time. Even if these bodies don't last, I can get enough out of them cheaply to continue replacing them. 

DBG of Black Doll Enthusiast says the difference between a clone and a competitor (off-brand) doll is that a clone is a copy and a competitor has its own face. Thanks, DBG for the info!

I numbered them and can give you an idea of what doll heads might work for them.

Warning! Nude dolls!

#1 is a very dark brown body. The complexion is similar to SIS Chandra. This body can be used for many darker dolls. 

#2 is a dark brown body that reminds me of Kara. This body works for many of my clone and off-brand dolls!

#3 is a medium-brown body that can be used for SIS Grace and older IT Janay

#4 light brown and can be used for SIS Trichelle, Artsy Barbie or Disney Jasmine dolls. 

#5 is very light but not White. She is more like Marisa.

Moana 2 Matangi Doll!

 Hey Gang!

I saw the Moana 2 Matangi doll in Target! I thought, WOW! She is pretty! 

There are people of color all over the world.  There are darker members of those people but they aren't often seen or represented in images of those countries.  One of the things I liked about Encantos was the range of complexion of the characters in the movie.

My Doll!

Close-up!

She looks like the balloon-head version of Pohantas!

I saw a video in which someone put the head on an Encantos Isabela's body. I knew

I had an extra body hanging around. Let's try it! There is a complexion difference! 

Matangi is more red.

Matangi is thinner and taller too!

Matangi's feet are larger.

The Matangi outfit is stretchy so it will work on the Isabela body.  It isn't a 

perfect match but it will do!

Christmas Gift From My Brother-Law!

 Hey Gang!

My brother-in-law gave me an AA Victorian Ice Skater Barbie 2000 doll this year for Christmas. This special edition #27432 doll with music box twirls! It part of the Barbie dolls done with Avon.

She is dressed in a Victorian-inspired outfit. The coat has a white fur collar and sleeve cuffs, with three levels of gold buttons. The coat is made of maroon velvet. There isn't an actual dress but an underskirt of cream satin with caramel and eggplant stripes. Her outfit is completed with maroon skates. As with all dolls in this area, she has a brush. 😀  

The doll has the "Asha" head sculpt. The music box plays a Victorian Waltz. I thought it might be the Skater's Waltz but it isn't. I don't recognize the music. If you know it please let me know

The front of the box doesn't have the clear plastic of most Barbie but does have a picture of the 

The back of the box has her face and a description of the doll!

"Dressed in an elegant ensemble of the times.  Beautiful maroon velvet dress with a striped satiny underskirt.  She has a matching maroon velvet hat, a white fur collar & around the sleeves, gold earrings, & matching maroon skates.

Instructions come with Barbie to position her on the music box stand base, which is included. 

You turn the key & she slowly twirls around as the music box plays the melody of a waltz from the Victorian era.

Thanks, Keith for supporting my hobby!

Merry Christmas!

 Hey Gang!

I painted the antlers of the Target Deer who I am calling Comet and Vixen. I added a Byers deer to the display. This is my Holiday Display for this year.

I wish you the happiest holiday ever!
