Live Action Moana Maui! Video Of The Month!

 Hey Gang!

This is the new Live Action Moana Maui doll!  I got him at Target for $24.99.

Back of the box. Nothing special.

The inside of the box shows Maui, played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He has a tropical background, long, curly hair, a grass skirt made of fabric, arm cuffs, a necklace, and a hook. 

He has larger feet than Ken and can stand on his own.

Close up!

Some say they smile takes away from the look of the doll. I like the smile.

His hair is well-rooted front and back.

Warning, Nude doll! 

Maui has many tattoos all over his body. In the movie, the tattoos move.

Disney gave him a fleshtone loincloth. I guess you can say he has on panties.

Not as tall, but he is broader than the Adonis clone.

I knew that it would be hard to find clothes for him. I normally use these pants for most 

of my larger males, but they won't work for him.

The proportions are slightly different, but he is closer in size to Hagrid. Luckily, Hagrid has a lot of clothes. Let's hope he will share.

This BMR1959 hood was way too big for the doll it came with, but it works well on Maui. The orange sweatpants were for Hagrid. I purchased them from Dollsviewpoint.

If you don't like his body, you can swap him onto a Fresh squad Malik body.

I think I like the original body the best!

TheSkullReviews has posted a review of this doll. I am sharing it with you here.

May is Disney Month! Was Enchanted The First Live-Action Movie? Giselle!

 Hey Gang!

Was Enchanted the first Live-Action Disney movie? Enchanted is a 2007 movie produced and distributed by Disney. The film was described as a fantasy musical and was the first "Princess" movie without animated characters. I think this makes it the first Live-Action movie. I was personally surprised when dolls were released for this movie.

Here is one of the doll sets from the movie.

There are also dolls sold separately!

I purchased McDreamy several years back. I originally bought him for the clothes. This is a great suit and coat. I thought his head was too big. I wound up keeping him.

Back to Giselle!

There are a few different face sculpts used for Giselle. This is the sculpt that looks more like the actress. She is the "Wedding Day" version of the doll.

I love the puffy sleeves.

A great face. The embossed fabric is really lovely.

Warning, Nude Doll!

I wish I could have purchased her with the dress on.  Sadly, I wasn't able to. I found this girl on eBay in 20003. She was purchased nude.  You can tell because she still retains some of her updo. 

I always have a few Disney bodies hanging around. I think I'll go with this one!

I think she looks good!

Happy Mother's Day!

May is Disney Month! Getting Ready For Cinco De Mayo!

 Hey Gang,

May is Disney Month! Let's have some dioramas using Disney Dolls.

Margarita(Moana 2 Matangi) is getting the refreshments ready for the Cinco de Mayo celebration. Mmm, smells good!

She is known as one of the best Latin cooks!

Some of her specialties! 

Two rolls of foil for people to take food home!

She thinks to herself, " Let's see, I still need napkins, silverware, cups, and plates. Oh, the 

salad dressing! There will be a few things that others will bring.  The kid will come to help with the decorations.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

May Is Disney Month! Video of The Month- -Fiyero!

 Hey Gang!

I did a quick post on Fiyero a while back.

I could post more, but I decided to share this video that does the same! Thank you, Descender, for your video!

Fiyero Review!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

 Hey Gang!

This is the Sunjai Williams doll, modeled after the TV personality from the TV series Bring It. The designer is Stacey McBride-Irby. She is the designer of The Prettie Girl doll and the designer behind Mattel's So In Style line(SIS). The doll is the iAMu doll.

Bring It.

Bring It is a reality show that focuses on the dance team, the Dancing Dolls, from Mississippi. This series follows the Dancing Dolls as they strive to be the best. She is formally a member of the dancing dolls. She becomes the drillmaster and then the captain of the Dancing Dolls, alongside Crystianna Summers. The dance troupe has more than 100 trophies to its name. 

The costume is reminiscent of the costume she wore as one of the Dancing Dolls 

dance team. Here she is on the left.

The doll's costume was also designed by Stacey McBride-Irby.

Stacey McBride-Irby

Her face has large eyes. It gives her a more Disney doll look than the Prettie Girls and S.I.S. dolls from Mattel.

It is a good likeness of her.

The red-and-silver design makes a real splash on the stage.

Red sneakers so that she can move.

Warning: Nude Doll!

Out of her costume, you can see she has the same body as a Prettie Girls Doll. She has soft, straight hair.

There has been some body staining from the costume. I have to treat her with some acne cream.

Adding More Refreshed Fresh Dolls!

 Hey Gang!

I added three Fresh dolls (maybe 4) to my collection. 

Grabrielle, Mia wave #1 and Mia wave #2!

Gisele,Desire', and Deeana

These three dolls have been placed on the bodies with the longer necks. I like the look of Fresh doll on that body the best. I found wave #1 Mia and Gabrielle with some Fresh doll fashions at a thrift store.  I purchased some heads, clothing, and longer-neck bodies on FB. Shout out to the Fresh Doll FB groups.

My Fresh Dolls story thus far!

Wave #1

The Fresh Dolls were launched in 2017. For the longest time, I only had Lynette from wave #1. It seems they were a little hard to find in my area. When wave #1 came out, I was not willing to pay shipping for Playline dolls. So, some of the rest of the dolls I wanted, Jacqueline, Mia, and Gabrielle, I didn't get. Only one fashion pack was available here, too.

Lynette!

She didn't get much play time until I found her a man!

Lynette and Lars!

Wave #2

When wave #2 was released, the same thing happened, but even worse. The company released male dolls that weren't being sold in all my local stores. If I wanted those handsome men, I had to pony up for shipping. I got them all at a price that I was not used to paying for dolls. I was impressed with these male dolls.

I expect the girls from wave #2 to show up in stores because they were cheaper. I didn't want to pay that shipping. Well, they didn't, and I wanted them all. Oh well! There were no fashion packs either. This was also when toy stores in my area started closing. This made finding any dolls by all manufacturers slim.

Wave #3

By the time we got to wave # 3, I wasn't as impressed with what was being offered.

I only wanted Lynette. Not enough to order her, but hoping she would show up in a nearby store. She did show up. Yeah! I love her hair and outfit. Still no fashion packs 

I was also starting to see some older Fresh doll fashion packs showing up at discount stores. That was a plus.

Wave #4.

I was totally disappointed in wave #4!

The heads were too large, and some of the hair colors were strange. Surprise, surprise! All of these dolls were in my local stores. They even went on markdown.

Then I saw someone post that the older dolls looked better on the longer neck of this wave. I tried it on my Lynette.

WOW! She looks a lot better!

I started scooping up the discounted Wave #4 dolls for transplant. A FB friend had dolls that she was willing to give away!

My new Lynette received a new body. I purchased Aria and Aleyna on eBay. I knew if I wanted them, I'd better do it now. I loved their outfits.  They received new bodies, too.

Wave #5.

Then Wave #5 came out! Woo Hoo! Dr. Lisa previewed them in a live video.

The girls!

I was able to find many of the girls in stores in my area! Dr. Lisa said this wave would have longer necks and smaller heads.  You have to check! This is easier to do if you purchase in a store.  A few people told me that the dolls they purchased had short necks. All the dolls have wrap-style outfits, called Xfinity Wear, that can be worn in different ways.

I have Aniyah! Her black skin is so pretty!.

I've also added Carissa.  I have to purchase her twice to get one with the longer neck.

I found Keyisha for $7.00 at Roses.

The guys blow me away! They are called Platinum!

I knew they would never hit the stores! They have great outfits. They were heavily promoted on online and TV shows (The View, J-Hud, and  Sherri Shepherd). There were discount codes! Fresh Squad Amari, Anthony, and Miles.

I was able to purchase the Fresh Squad Deluxe dolls at a good discount, with shipping, and buy multiple.

I have to warn you that Ivan has a really yellow complexion. Dare I say jaundice!

Rock the Bells line for LL Cool J!

There was also the release of Rock the Bells at Walmart! Dr. Lisa did this line for the anniversary of Hip Hop.

Fresh doll Kahlil was also a Walmart release.

 I found the 4th wave Ebony at Walmart, too!

The Rock the Bell Ebony had a short neck, and I swapped her body with a Wave #4 body.

Now I am waiting for Wave #6! I am hoping for the best! While waiting, I came across some dolls that I have wanted. I found this head and outfit on FB.

Mia wave #2

her outfit.

Mia complete.

I found Mia Wave #1 and Gabrielle Wave # 1 at a thrift store.

Waves up until now.
