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!

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.

New Fashions For Maui!

 Hey Gang!

I purchased some fashions for my Live Action Maui Doll!  Jackie Wingfield of Dollsviewpoint on Etsy makes some great clothes for male and female dolls that aren't Barbie- or Ken-doll size.

I purchased white shorts, denim shorts, and a white tank. Let's see Maui in them.

First up is Maui in all white.

White tank also looks great with the denim shorts!

These shorts also look great with the Flava male doll vest. Denim on denim.

They Are Here!

 Hey Gang!

I was able to order all of them, but not Zoey, on Amazon. I was finally able to order Zoey after checking Target for several days. She was the one I really wanted. I check all doll-selling sites daily, and I finally found her here at the normal price($26.99). 

OK, let's review the dolls!

We will start with Saja boy Jinu!

In the box.

His accessories!

The back of the box. I am hoping we will get the rest of the boy.

Out of the box. These dolls are really great for the price point. He comes dressed in Jeans with a hole in the knee, a pink tee, and a white-and-blue plaid shirt with a pink belt. I put his regular hand on right away. It was easy to do. 

The back.

  

The tee.

The outfit.

The sneakers have pink hearts on them.

Warning! Nude dolls.

He is darker than the BTS dolls and taller.

Jinu and Jin.

Redressed!

I won't purchase the Demon Jinu doll, but I got my doll a demon hoodie.

Next up is Mira!

In the box.

The face.

Out of the box. I think she looks badass with the moon sword.I might have to have her battle with Xia

Xia

The back

She wears a black cropped shirt. The shirt says "Won't Miss". Black gloves and a yellow pleather skirt. with a silver chain type item.

The boots are pretty well made. I am hoping that will hold up. I don't expect the skirt to. I plan to swap it out for somethin fabric.

Out of the three girls, Mira is the grumpy one.  I am glad that they didn't give her a grumpy expression. Is this her resting B. face? Her pink hair is very fly-away. She could use some hair gel.

The pieces.

Platform boots.

I do think her pleather skirt will disintegrate. I purchased the clone doll fashion to act as backup.

The hands are very feminine and are sculpted to hold the weapons. All the girls have the same hands. I want to paint the nails

They didn't give her a Barbie body. I am using Wendy to show what she looks like nude.

She doesn't have Barbie feet either. BTW, all the dolls have the same feet, even Zoey.

I tried some curvy Barbie shoes on her, and they seemed to fit. I also tried some Wildheart Crew shoes and Stardoll shoes, and they seemed to fit.

I paired her with my RM that I rebodied.

I think she likes him.

Then there is Rumi.

The face.

Out of the box, the front.

The back.

The outfit. Jacket (also pleather), top, and shorts.

Jacket.

Shorts, boots and sword.

Jacket off.

The outfit.

Body compared to Wendy.

Finally, Zoey!

The face!

Out of the box. She wears a halter top and baggy pants with suspenders, blue and sneakers.

The back.

Closeup! She has the best face in the group, both in the movie and in person. They gave her hair gel that will help her keep her hairstyle. Her top is pleather, but it has good details. She has her black pouch.

Really lovely face screening. 

The cutest freckles!

She wears cute sneakers. They remind me of Mari's sneakers.

Mari's shoes!

The outfit.

I love her in this pose from the promo photos.

This is the closest I can get my doll to that pose. Her feet aren't articulated. You can't get them to turn the way they are in the above photo.

 Her body compared to a petite doll. Zoey is a little taller. Her hips are about the same, her torso is longer, her bust is bigger.

I found this yellow hat that I thought suited her.

She is making friends too!
