Articulated Disney Mulan Part 2!

Hi Gang!

In my first post on the New Disney’s Mulan doll with the new articulated knees, you will remember that I was unsure of how I felt about the new knee.

New Knee!

In my post on Tiana I showed you the Tiana with the new knees as well as the older Barbie type knee. The older knee doll is reminiscent of the articulated SIS dolls and the Barbie 3 click knee that is more familiar. I purchase a few Mulans with this older knee and I planned to show you how that worked out.

So The Knee!

Here is what the knee looks like under the gown.


My Asian Barbie for President Doll, who I am now calling Connie, decided to help me out with the suggestion of doll that could use this body. One of her suggestion is Top Model Summer. Summer is on an old My Scene doll body with her old body up on the Dollpage.

Connie: Mulan , this is Summer.

Summer, who will now be called Shelly Green, thinks this body would be a good match for her.

Look out world her I come!

I feel like a new woman!

Kieu, who happens to be Connie’s best friend, was near by trying on the Mulan gown and nice Mulan’s nice body.  Kieu the dress and the body would work really well for me too!

Yeah, that gown get more wrinkled with each shot!

I like this purple dress too!  It is very ethereal.  I love the silver details too!

I can really pose now!

I can take my rightful place on this blog!

Are there shoes for this dress?

Kieu joins Summer and Akira in the group photo! 

New bodies, New lives!

I got some questions in my last Mulan post about this doll's complexion and my other dolls, so I thought I would answer those too! Does Mulan work well for Bling and Xia?

Why yes she does!

Xia' is still herself but is a little more mature on this body!  Like the difference between 18 and 20.  She is 20. 

Even Bling looks different on this body!

The test will be if Bling can still fit in her car!

Xia is so happy she can dance!

This body works well with her face.  I had thought about a Frank Sinatra body but they cost too much!  This will do just fine!

The girls are dancing! Shelly: is this how you do the new dance?  Xia:  Yeah , kinda! Shelly:I can't wait to show my daughter!

Xia: Do I know your daughter?  Shelly: You might!  She is very popular like her mom!

Thanks For Looking!

My Faces Of Lea!--Edited Post OOPS! I forgot one!

Oops! I forgot a Doll! So I'm editing my post and placing her
picture at the top!

This is Akira!

She and her husband Hiroshi Takada own the local Asian
restaurant The Pacific Rim. Their daughter Mari attends the
high school.

Original post.
I think that Lea is one of the most beautiful Asian
doll faces that Mattel has done. There have been other
doll's whose faces were made Asian but Lea and Kira
the two Asian face molds.


I have a few dolls with the Lea face mold in my collection.
Bling was not the first. My first was this doll!


I call her Thuy (twee) and she is Jin's "Bling" older sister.


She is more traditional than Bling and more serious than her
sister. She has a more demure look to her than Bling.


As the big sister, see must look out for Bling which is not an
easy job.


You met their cousin Ing. She is half Vietnamese and French.



She and her cousins are close.


She finds the differences between Thuy and Bling amusing.
Ing is not as traditional as Thuy but not as Americanized
as Bling.


You met Tia Holmes.

She is newly married to Matt Holmes who is a Captain
in the Air Force stationed here in Johnston.


She is a Flight Attendant and travels from Europe to the US
regularly. That is how she met Matt while on a layover in
an airport.

This is Tia's sister Sonya. She move here from the
Philippines to be with her sister. She worked in an
insurance company there and hopes to work for one
here.

Thuy and Bling!


Ing, Thuy and Bling.

Sonya and Tia!

Sonya and Tia are different too. Tia has see the world.
Sonya has been a local girl.

New Dress for Bling!

Bling's New Dress!
I wanted a Asian inspired dress for Ms. Bling. So here she is
in her Qi Pao!

Bling has to break away from the traditional red! She
wanted a more girly pink.

This is great for going out and to wear for Chinese New Years.


She glad she found this dress!

She is wearing it as a dress but it can be worn with pants too!


Ready to party!

I love her face!

Thanks for looking!

My latest purchase!

My latest purchase!
I had to go to a meeting out my area, so I decided while
there to check out the local TRU. They had a Basic male
accessory set. .. for 23.00. Outrageous! I already have a
black shirt, the key item in the set (for much cheaper off
one of the website for action figures), and enough Ken
sneaker for the free world. So I didn’t really need this set.
So, let’s keep looking around. What do you know, they had
a Liv Spa Playset! I haven’t seen one near me. It was
marked $19.99 but when I scanned it, it came up $25.00.
If you want to be make me buy something, let is scan higher
that the price on the shelf! So they adjusted the price and I
purchased it. Bling needs a work station and this should be
the right size for her. What is in the set? Here are some
pictures! Pardon the glare!


Her is what you get!


The hair dryer is clear. I like that!



The one pictured is opaque.



Face mask (may be too big), make-up, flat irons, a tubes &
bottle, and a file.



A chair , sink, blow dryer, towel's and


a stand. Sorry about the glare. A foot & hand basins.



You don't get the pretty robe pictured!


Since Bling is going to be a manicurist, I think this
works for her! I did some test shots to see.



Sooo, you work at the museum? Do you know a
guy named Brice?
