Fugal Finds!

 Hey Gang

I was back at Dollar Tree and picked up two more outfits/uniforms. A construction worker outfit and a police uniform.

I thought they were good purchases because these packs include items I can use for different things.

The construction worker pack clothing only fits Barbie, not Ken. Even on Barbie, the outfit is a little short in the crotch. 

I can use the helmet for my construction workers. Maybe I should have a woman construction worker! 

I can use the reflective vest for a crossing guard.

The police officer's uniform is two-piece with sunglasses.

I will have to replace the pearl buckle on the uniform. It doesn't work.

The uniform pants are high-waters!

The sunglasses are kinda fly!

I also found these black-and-yellow containers at Dollar Tree. I was surprised and happy to see them there.  I have seen others find them at stores other than Dollar Tree, but none of those stores were close to me.

Setting them up at home.

I know I want to use them for my Home Depot diorama! They always have a section with containers.

I found a container at Home Depot, but it wasn't the right scale.

Dollar Tree containers and the one I purchased from Home Depot.

A new dollar-ish store in my area is Dollar Deals. They have a toy section with dolls and toys.

I found these dogs there!

Gordy, Scotty, Marcus, and Walter.

Bull Terrier, Irish Terrier, Dalmatian, and some kind of hound.

Finding An Articulated Body For Addison Rae!

Hey Gang!

Last time I talked to you about buying Addison Rae, I said I needed to find her an articulated body.

Well, I did! Barbie Besties.

Preparing for the swap. Addison Rae: It would be nice to do more poses!

Ms. Leo: I think this body will work!

Addison Rae: Thanks for volunteering!

Bestie: Volunteering for What?

I didn't notice when I purchased the Besties doll that there was a problem with the phone.

I think I look great now! This outfit looks like something I would totally wear!

I can still wear all the outfits I came with!

Even the shoes!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Addison Rae and Video of the Month!

 Hey Gang!

Look what I found on sale!

2022 Addison Rae Ultimate Mystery Surprise Fashion 11" Doll Set w/ 60+ Surprises! I got it for $14.00. I couldn't wait to get her home to see what was inside.

I did some research on her. The original retail price was 49.99! I made out like a champ! 

In my research, I saw that Addison Rae is one of the most influential celebrities in the world. I guess I am behind the times.  I didn't know who she was. I first saw her as part of a couple on FB. 

Buzz Lightyear and Addison Rae.

I liked how they looked together. I previously found Buzz in a thrift store. All that I needed was Addison. Also, while researching Addison, I came across everything that came with the doll. She is not like Mini Brands, where the items change.

She is curvy but not articulated. I am wondering if I can find an articulated match for her.

I'm being lazy! I found this video by Justlykemadilynn about the Addison Rae Ultimate Mystery Surprise Fashion doll set. It shows the boxes being opened.

Quick Post! Shoes For Maui!

 Hey Gang!

I have been looking for shoes for my Live-Action Maui.  His feet are too big to wear Ken's shoes. I have been looking for shoes for him on eBay, but I need to start by looking through the male doll shoes I already have.  I was looking for male shoes for another doll when I came across the shoes I had for Encanot Agusto. I rebodied my doll, but I kept the shoes. They work well for Maui.

Close-up!

I need to check more of what I have.  Next week I will organize my doll shoes!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Frugal Finds! Update!!

 Hey Gang!

I found these outfits at the Dollar Tree! I don't know if there are others; these were the only four, and I purchased three.  I thought these outfits might be too small for Barbie, especially the fireman's outfit, but they aren't. The packaging is smaller, with the pant leg folded over.

I purchased these three.

Let's take a look at them!

This one is a doctors/nurse outfit. Most doctors/nurses don't work in satin! 

I thought it would make great P.J.'s. Here is Trisha, who just woke up and is in search of coffee!

This one is a chef's outfit. I purchased it because the top looked big enough for a guy. 

Here is Manny mannequin with the top on and a pair of Ken pants on. The pants are too small for Ken. I will need to open the sleeves up to the top. It is a little tight in the arm but can be worked with. Update: the pants I purchased are a little roomier than past Dollar Tree fashions. They can fit on the bellybutton bottom body.

Lastly, there is this white top and overalls. The overalls have printed detailing.

Our model today is Naira. The issue with this outfit is that it is made for a doll whose head pops off. You can't get the crossed straps over the head or the neck. I will have to remove the straps in the back and add snaps.

Here are the accessories that came with the outfits. The shoes can be used for most Barbies. They are tan and black.

The stethoscope, shovel, spatula, and pan can fit in with other doll accessories you already own.

Changing Live Action Moana Doll Into A Boy!

 Hey Gang!

After purchasing Maui, because you never can have enough guys, I was on the fence about adding the Moana doll to my collection. 

Out of the box.

I haven't seen the movie, and I am not in love with the doll. Then I saw a post by friendlyactionfigures,

He put a live-action Moana head on a She-Ra Bow doll body.

He noted that Moana doesn't have heavy eyelashes or a big smile, and has a neutral face. This makes Moana an easy switch. I can always use a new teen male. I had to try it! 

Voila! Warning: nude doll!

Not an exact match but really close. If you are wondering. The She-Ra Bow doll has a similar body to BTS dolls, new Monster High males, and the Disney Zombie dolls.

I now have a new teen guy to add to my collection! I think I might shorten his hair.

 OK, Thanks For Looking!
