May is Disney Month Live Action Mulan

 

 Hey Gang!

I posted about this doll before but I haven't reviewed her on my blog.  

So here is my review for Disney month!

I like the backdrop and hope to use it.

I found this doll at a local discount store!  I couldn't see paying $15 for her with not articulation.

Here hair is the softest but it is OK. I know that there is a Disney Store version that is more

high end but that isn't this doll. So harder hair, nor articulation and lower end outfit. 

But for a basic doll, she is OK.  The top and the pants don't have finished hems.

The boots can work for other dolls with larger feet.

Warning! Nude Dolls!

This Disney store doll is reminiscent of some Mattel dolls.  

The body is similar to  Diamond Castle dolls like Melody here!

Live Action Mulan doll.

Her face is closer to Mattel Lea's face than the Mulan dolls of the past.

She looks more like Lea than the old Mulan doll produced for Disney by Mattel!

She was moved to a Liv doll body!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Two Sulu

Hey Gang!

So when I was trying to correct and error in a post I lost it all together!  I was happy to find out that the pictures were still available on my album archive!  So now I am reposting it again and adding
new details that weren't there the last time.

The Post!

I have two Lt. Sulu action figures!
One is a 1999 action figure and the other is a 2009 action figure.  Both by Playmate

Hikaru Sulu is character in the Star Trek portrayed by

George Takei in the original Star Trek series and 

John Cho in the Star Trek the reboot film series.

Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek,  did not want a nationally specific 

surname, so he looked at a map and saw the Sulu Sea. 

"He thought, 'Ah, the waters of that sea touch all shores'.

My First Sulu

 I had him redressed in this Bruce Lee outfit so I left 

him in it.  He likes it much better!

Second Sulu

He is in the original outfit for this picture.

 There is more detail in this uniform than the older one. There is more of a pattern
to the shirt and more detail in the pants too.

The problem with both this action figures is....

The boots don't come off!!! GRR!!!

No real feet!

I was told that Hey, it is Muff know how to remove the boots on the newer
action figure. Hey, Muff if you do, please let me know!

For now this guy will have to make do with the pants he came in.  I can find
shirts for him. He work in the lab around her.  Maybe I can take his head off
and put him on another body?  Hmm, that might be interesting!

Sulu: You can what???

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Fashionista 43, Lacey Blue!

Hey Gang!

OK! Yes I did get her!  I had to go back home for the money!  I trying just to taken
enough money for what I'm suppose to buy.  Well, you can see how that is
working out! So this is her out of the box!

And like I said, I'm still not a fan of the bent arm thing!  She is not the
first Tall I purchased I also purchased 30 White and Pink Pizzazz.  She
was quickly re-bodied! I really like articulation!  Here is a picture of 30
(her name is Kay) that I am using for a set of stairs I'm selling!

This is a better picture taken with my digital camera!  My tablet is OK for some
photos but I still like using my digital for a better more steady shot.  I'm not so
steady taking pictures with the tablet!

The blue dress is paired with these shoes!

Other items in the pack are dress, extra camel bag and shoes teal shoes and a
short and top set!

Shoes and bag!

Shorts and top!

Dress!

Back of the pack shows her in the other outfits and shows her number.

Close-up on the back.

The back also shows some other dolls that come with fashions!

The pink purse doesn't seem to go with either shoes. I do like the items separately. 

Top and shorts! It looks OK but

 the fabric on the tops seems kinda old.  Like mom's top but a young cut.

 The shorts are printed on denim with printed on details.

 The dress is cool and she does like wearing it!

Her hair  is blonde with nice chunky caramel sections in it.

Her hair doesn't have as much curl as it does on the package!  I might have to
try boil curls to get that look!

Package curl photo.

BTW, the newer Goddess head has a more square jawline than the older Goddess head.

New Goddess...Older Goddess!

Although I thought it might be nice to have a taller doll in my collection, I had
considered getting the 29 and doing a head swap,  the need to have her articulated
won out! Here she is with some cool and and black shoes added to the dress to
give a little different look!

I think this is a Summer doll body!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

The Tsai Move To Johnston!

Hey Gang!

The Tsai are a major family in Johnston.  You met a few of them previously.
You might have realized that they were family.

You met Blaine

Blaine is an artist and was an assistant professor of art at N.Y.U.  

He didn't have tenure at N.Y.U.  It was a hard thing to get.  When he

was offered a spot at Johnston University with tenure, he jumped on it!

The rest of his family wasn't far behind.

  

his daughter Willow

 His sister-in-law Kieu

We will hear more about her later.

His other sister-in-law Hae

You remember her from the rehearsal.  She is the one on the
left.  Here is her daughter.

His niece Meadow

His cousin Connie 

We will hear more about her later too.

If you read this post anywhere other than

and her children

Bracken and 

 Fern.

I'll try to fill-in the family gaps soon!
