Five and Below Glam Squad!

 Hey Gang!

I was able to find the Glam Squad fashion packs at Five Below! I had seen them on Facebook and looked for them when I went there. Thus far, there are only three.

Street Wear!

Autumn Vibes

Fashionista

They suggest that you pair them with your Glam Squad dolls!

I purchased a Glam Squad doll the Yoga doll to try it on!

So before I show her in the outfits, let's look at the yoga doll and what she comes with!
She comes with a towel, yoga mat with carrier, yoga ball, hand weight, and water bottle.



She is articulated at the shoulder, elbow, and wrist.  She has an articulated hip and knee.
She has a large head with large eyes. The face is not the best and will have to go.

The body can be used for other dolls!

I decided to show the doll fashions on the body without the head. Her face was 
too distracting. It is good to use a cover on the hands when trying on clothes. I cut a finger off of a glove.


Street Wear
White shirt, red GS jacket, print jeans, black sunglasses, white sneakers, and red hat.
Autumn Vibes
It has a black and white plaid coat and straw bag. I thought they weren't a match. It also comes with a white shirt but is not as well made as the first set. The sleeves are a little lopsided. There are red glasses too but I misplaced them.
There are white shoes and jeans with an elastic waist.
Fashionista 
The Fashionista set comes with two outfits.
This top's sleeve and bottom hems are unfinished. The skirt's hem is unfinished
as well. Styled with black shoes. I'll keep the top and work on it. Pleather skirts don't last 
long and will be donated.

Halter dress, white glasses, and bag are shown here also with the black shoes.



OK, Thanks For Looking!

Boy Scout Action Figures Video Of The Month!

 Hey Gang!

The first time I saw the Boy Scout action figure was on Roxanne's Dolls! She had a great post about the BFF Ink doll Calista doll and Boy Scout Bob. The running posts were in a dear dairy style about a young girl. Calista's love interest was Bob the Boy Scout.  I looked him up and he was made by Kenner!

Nerd Rage did a great video on the action figure and I posted it below.

"A brief history of Kenner's Boy Scouts of America Line A.K.A. Steve Scout. which came out in 1974, and ended in 1975."

 

One of the points made in the video is that Bob and the other scouts' heads might fall off with play. So if you have them, be careful or have glue! Also, since these action figures are 40 years old, the uniforms aren't always in the best of shape. Many are pretty faded. The shirts on my uniforms have holes. They are made from cotton.  The pants are made of twill and have seemed to hold up better.

Boy Scouts Steve and Bob are 9  3/4 inches tall. Cub Scouts are Craig and Dave are 8 1/2 inches tall.

In their uniforms, Craig in the blue and Steve in the khaki green.  

Craig is the blonde and Steve is the redhead.
In their uniforms AA scouts, Bob in the khaki green and Dave in the blue.
Bob is the tall one and Dave is the shorter one.
The Boy Scouts do a three-finger salute and the Cub Scouts do a two-finger salute.


Warning! Nude bodies!

The Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts are definitely action-figure bodies! They have broad shoulders and narrow waists. They are more muscular than other kid dolls of the same size. 
They are more than Stacie-size dolls.
Thighs, calves, and arms are beefier. 
Steve and Bob can wear some Stacie-size boy clothes and CreateableWorld world doll clothes depending on the cut.
 
The Cub Scout body is a better fit in Stacie-size clothes.

Mom is Christy and dad is Joe.  Meet the Jacksons.

Roxanne does a video at the end of Calista's diary post of Bob and Calista dancing.  It is super cute! I had to share it with you guys.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
