I-Luv-Dolls: September 2014

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!

Hey Gang!

This is my Disney Month! So, I will talk a little and show some pictures
of Disney dolls. You know I can't purchase nor would I want to purchase all of
the dolls I will be show this month, so many will be pictures taken in store. So
some will be new in box and others will be from the thrift store or in my collection.
I may not be able to do detail pictures but I will try! I will be hard for me
to post, respond and view other blogs because my tablet is down! Now
that is a bummer. I am work from the library! :( Thank goodness for
the library!

First, I want to say that no one has done a better job merchandising their
products as Disney! They do the full roll out normally! I guess they have struck
gold with the Princess movies because they keep them coming. Along with the
movies you get the dolls and other Paraphernalia!

Mattel has done many of the Disney dolls sold in the U.S. along with a few other
companies. Because of the many companies making the dolls, the face mold of the
princesses have change over the years. Also depending on where you purchased it
(in a toy store and not Disney Stores) it could be different in the same year. There
are many face molds to each princes doll. I would say even more than Barbie!
The only draw back is that there is not a date on the heads of these dolls like
Barbie. Below is one of the new Mattel Sleep Beauty doll. I would say this head
mold is about two years old but don't hold me to it!

I also found this one in the store!

I thought she was the same as this one but side by side they look different!

Here some of my Sleeping Beautys for this blog! This is my AA Sleeping Beauty

Two other dolls that I have also. The one on the right's eyes change when
hot water is applied.

Frozen was a big success for Disney! They have done several of the dolls from

the movie. Below is Anna. Redheads do well for Disney and there seems to be

more redheaded characters now. Something that Mattel doesn't do as many of.

Close up of Anna. Back when Mattel did the balloon head/ big head dolls.
they made the Disney dolls heads larger too! Although now the Mattel doll
heads aren't quite as large as they use to be, the Disney doll heads remain large.
Many people don't like the Disney dolls because they think that they look too
cartoonish. I believe it depends on the doll. Some are and some aren't as much.

I do like the mixture of color in this dolls hair. Strawberry!

Anna and Elsa

Disney has done a skating version of these dolls also!

It would have been nice to have cute clothing and not painted on items.
Oh, well!

Elsa Skate version

Also the painted arms.

Not being a follower of the movie I didn't know what to expect in dolls or
play related items from the movie.

Next is Kristoff. This is the one that is seen most often in stores!

Close up!

I don't real like clothing of any type that is attached and can not be removed. So
although I am alway on the hunt for new guys. I won't be purchasing this guy!
I do like his face.
