Another OOPS...Maybe?

Hey Gang,

Do you remember a while back when I purchased two Chelsea Renee/Delia dolls
and the faces were slightly different?

Renee/Delia....They are the same doll.  The faces are slightly different!
The first one is redressed  different! The second has on the original outfit!

Well, it happen again

I purchase the new Chelsea boy at TRU

With big brown eyes!

Well I saw him again at Walmart for half what I paid at TRLU.  So I decide to buy one more!

 The eyes are different!

 Not only is the size different but the color is different too!

 It makes them easy to have them as different characters.

 The new dolls hair is more matte where the older one is shiny!

 The size of the eyes to me gives them a different expression.

  I don't know if you can tell  from the picture but there is also a difference

in the sneakers!

 The paint job on the hair is better on the new one!  It comes to the edges.

I plan to paint the hair on the one Black and maybe the eyes too!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Here is What Is Going On!

Hey Gang!

Here is my latest purchases from Target and eBay!  The first five dolls are 

the Target ones! 

SO IN STYLE Pet Fun Doll Pair

Trichelle and Janessa

Official Mattel photo!

I thought Trichelle was really pretty after seeing her on Just Jay's Flickr page!

 I love the fact that she is looking straight ahead and not off to the side! 

 She has a real charm and confident look in her eyes!

 I just love the face paint and hair color!

 She doesn't have the dark lip of previous Trichelle dolls

 but I did like the dark lip too!

 Side view!

She wasn't cheap.  She was $18.99 at Target but she did come with Janessa.  

They may run more at some stores.

 Little Ms. Janessa! She is a keeper!

I also purchased....
SO IN STYLE Hair Fun Doll Pair

 Grace and Courtney 

Official Mattel photo!

I was never a fan of Grace.  She is always used as a body donor around here but
I do like the outfit.  I think Trichelle may get her outfit! You might see her head on the dollpage!

 Close-up!

 Her shoes are cute too!

I really purchase this pair for Courtney.  I love me some Courtney!

I think this makes my third!

 Such a sweetie! Isn't funny how some dolls just get to you!

There was one lonely Renee Halloween doll.  The box was in poor shape and so was her hair.

It is a Fake!!! Run!!

I also purchased a few things from eBay since I am taking a break from 

the thrift stores!  Mary Poppins doll Michael.  He came nude so I had to find him 

something to wear. 

 School Desks!  I had a school but no desks!  What was I thinking!

 Oh, and I got a few new babies!  They were on sale.  I might sell one.

OK!  Thanks For Looking!

OOPS!

Hi Gang!


Well I had to go over to Target to get a few things for the house and you know I had to go into the toy section. I was hoping to see the Tim Gunn dolls there but no luck! As I was look at the dolls I notice they had the older Chelsea dolls with the bent arm. I glance at the Renee and she looked like a different doll. So I took her down to get a closer look. I got there other Renee that was there to make sure it wasn’t my eyes having a problem.

Nope, it wasn’t me!  She had a slightly different face.  I guess there had been a problem in the line.  She was a little darker and her head was smaller and her face paint was smaller too to match the face.

Normally this kind of mistake results in a doll not worth purchasing but not with this doll.  Something said to rescue this girl!  The differences my not be as noticeable in this photo so let look at her side-by-side with Renee/Delia.

Her face is small like a Kelly but just a little wider.  Her complexion is about 2 shades off the Renee/Delia doll.  You may not be able to see the complexion differences because of my poor photography….Sorry!

 So I purchased her (I shouldn’t have, I spent a lot on dolls lately!)  and took her home for some experimentation!   I put her on a body just slightly smaller than the Chelsea doll.  She can be a whole new character her now!  I have alway said that slight differences shange the charater of a doll.  You can see that here.

I am expecting some smaller bodies in the mail soon so she may go down even further in size.  I will curl her hair and maybe bring her lip color down a few shades too.  But this is the way she is for now!

Thanks For Looking!

New Release of Chelsea and Friends!

Chelsea and Friends!

While over at Wal-Mart I noticed that they had a new release of Chelsea and her friends.  Here they are on the shelf. These girls look ready for the beach! They are left to right Madison Chelsea, Kira and Delia!

The names used last time for Chelsea friends were Kitsie, Tamika,Viveca & Renee. 

Chelsea!  Sometimes Chelsea has the face with the full smile sometimes not. She comes with a bucket but sadly no shovel.

This is Madison.  I guess we know it is not Chelsea because she doesn't have blue eyes. She has floater for her arms and snorkel glasses.

This is Kira.  She comew with a board.

This is Delia and she comes with a fish floater.

None of these girls have bent arms! Yeah! I notice Tamika is missing from this release! Too bad, I was hoping to get a different looking Tamika.  As you can see I purchased the Delia! I sure hope they come up with friends for Stacey.

Thanks For Looking!
