New Purchases, Rebodies and Things For Sale!

Hey Gang,

I purchased a Kenya Keyshia doll from TRU.  I purchased the Special Day Keyshia!

My doll! Picture not as clear:(

When she arrived, she looked different than the doll pictured. She didn't have black sandals. She had ballet flats. BTW, I am still learning my new camera so some of my pictures aren't as clear as I would like.

Her ears didn't have earring either. She did come with the hat but I missed placed it.

She is still a very lovely doll and I did like her so I contacted TRU about the things
I noticed missing with the doll!

They said that I could keep the doll they sent me and that they would send me a new
doll!  Woo Hoo!  So I waited for my new Keisha doll to come!  What did they send me?

It was a Weekend Fun Keishia! The one I didn't have!

And guess what... no sandal and no earrings!

I now have two dolls for the price of one so I'm not complaining.  I also think
I will get more use from the flats than the sandals. I did a photo shoot with
Keyshia that I will show you later!

Now to the re-bodies!

I re-bodied a Sparkle Girlz dolls onto a Mattel Janet body!  The body isn't the
best match but it is not too bad. I posted a link to a post Black Doll Collecting 
did on the dolls!

The head is a lot closer in proportion to this body than the body she was on.
She is now called Lailah.

Lailah: I like my new body!

Adallah got re-bodies too!  So this will be a re-body and thrift store finds section.
She also go a new outfit from the thrift store that reflects her heritage. 
She is from Uganda and has some Indian heritage.

She really likes the outfit and was glad that no one else saw it first.  She needs
jewelry to complete the look!

She did get these shoes.  They need a little bling too to make the outfit work.

I found this manikins in the thrift store too. The were .90.  I couldn't leave them!

I might use them to show native outfits sometime.  Adallah is admiring them.

Finally, this is another item I have up for sale!  

This cute baby!

Recent Head Swaps!

New Head Swap Dolls

Like I mentioned before, many of the off brand dolls
have great faces! Unfortunately their bodies are a
different story. Often the break easily and are poorly
designed like the Imani dolls. Despite what many be
happening with newer dolls, the Mattel bodies were
made well. So I have decided to give some off brand
dolls Mattel bodies.

First is Kari Michelle!
I think we all have purchase Kari Michelle clothes.
They are inexpensive and not to bad of a quality.
When the doll first started appearing in stores, you
got the doll and several outfits too! Now the doll is
sold by itself with one outfit and extra outfits are sold
separately.

I just love all the set with the tops and the coats!
I have about six. The pants don't fit BB bodies!

I had some heads sit around, some bodies that I
wasn't sure what I would do with the and I liked
her smiling face. So, I re-bodies her on a Fashion
Fever AA-big foot body. Yes, I know your saying,
Ms. Leo, you don't like the big feet, you can't find
shoes for them.


Well I found I few pairs of shoes


Casual


Dressy

and those bodies don't sell well. Also, you always need
gals GI Joe size. I might as well do something with it.

My finished product--Kari Michelle Kingsley!

Next up --This doll!
I posted about her before. I like the face. The
eyelashes were a bit much. I had some paint I was
experimenting with that calmed them down some so I
decided to re-body her onto a standard AA Barbie body-
medium brown.

My finished product-Adallah (a dollar is what I paid for her)
She will be Khadijah's Mom.

Lastly, I found a Kristi Yamaguchi doll in the thrift store.



I purchased her because she was an Asian face but I did
like the body. I also thought the body was too tall. I
re-bodied her onto a Generation Chelsea body. I liked
her better on it. Of course I will have to change the
nail color on her. Oh and she will be my first Villain
in doll world. Well... maybe not a villain but an annoyance
She is going to be one of those people who eavesdrops,
gossips and get the story wrong. She doesn't hear very
well is the reason she gets the story wrong but there
is no excuse for her other two bad habits.
