Face of an angel!

Martial Arts Morpheus

The Matrix Morpheus!

One of my favorite movies is The Matrix. I remember leaving

the movie and thinking I could jump around like they did in

the move. I couldn't but I felt like I could. I still like the first

movie the best! Lawrence Fishburne played Morpheus

and he played him in all three movies.

Out of the box but what did I do with his belt?

I don't think if the doll was released in time for the movie.

I think it came out later. I didn't like the look of the other

dolls in the Matrix series. I bought the Martial Arts Morpheus

doll only. Well, actually I bought three. One that I play with,

and one that stays in the box. The other doll had an accident.

I tried to remove the dark shadow on the face and the face

paint came off. His African American complexion is painted

on and not a part of the complexion of the head. Bummer!

"If your paint comes off in the Matrix, does is come off in real life?"

Yes! Yes It Does."

I haven't decided what to do with this doll.


Morpheus with malfunction.

So I had to buy and new one to play with.



Out of the box and re-dressed
There were two versions of each of the 12 inch dolls in the line,

one of them unplugged in the ratty sweater and pants, (I

think I have enoughratty doll clothes to not purchase any!)

and one of them in the Matrix where the clothers were

more flashy. This is the Martial Arts Morpheus and

he is dressed in a black and white gi (pronounced "gea").

This outfit comes from my favorite scene were Neo has

just learned Jujitsu and he is ask to show what he has

learned. "Morpheus is fighting Neo" is what

one of the shipmates yell! They all come running to see. T

he music for the scene is fast and frantic. They are fighting

in a computer program similar to the Matrix. Morpheus is

trying to teach Neo through the fight to let himself

go, that you mind is unlimited and that you are the"one".

"Free Your Mind" I feel like jumping around ... hold on!

Larry Fishburne is a private guy so he is

not going to wear a swim suit but he opped for

this diving suit.

The comparisons-

He is shorter that Ken dolls

and a tad taller than GI Joe action figures.

Dallas muscling his way into another shot.

He doesn't understand the "secret" part of

Secret Service!

He is also a little slimmer than GI Joe action figures.

His hands are larger than Ken's hand. They don't

come off like Power Team hands. He needs the shirts

with cuff that snap closed.

His feet are closer to



Ken size, which for me is good because I have more Ken size

clothes and shoes. I mostly have GI Joe uniforms and boots.

You can make Joe boots fit most dolls and action figures but

I can't say the same for ken shoes!

So what do you think? Does he look like the actor to you?

Let me know!

Trying to Identify This Guy?

Do You Know Who He Is?

I trying to identify this male doll. I purchase him from EBay about four

years ago. I am attracted to unusual dolls. Doll that I haven't seen before.

The picture of him on EBay wasn't to good. So I was very surprised when

he arrived to see what he actually looked like. He has glass eyes.

They are brown. They are usual for a doll male doll and a doll his

size. He is "Ken" height. and can wear Ken/12inch clothes. He

is olive complexion. I am not sure if he is Hispanic. He has

a twist-n-turn waist. He is made in china and has a JPL Inc. stamped

on the back of his neck. There are not any other marking to indicate

who he is. He came nude so I didn't have clothes as a clue

to who he might be. I am hope one of you out there might know

who he is.

Thrift Store find--Baywatch

Baywatch Doll!

If you remember the show, here is one of the

dolls. Here is another thrift store find--a Baywatch doll.

I think it is Pamela Anderson but I'm not sure. I will admit

I don't recall watch the show but I know it was a hit for a while.

I don't know if I will keep her or sell her but I couldn't

leave her in the store.

I am working on my backgrounds and trying

to change them up. I am still working on my

picture taking too. For some reason I couldn't

get a clear close-up picture of this doll.

OK! So the doll. She comes with a jet ski,

shorts, top, jacket and

of course the red swimsuit!

Thrift Store Outfit For Ginger!

Ginger In Thrift Store Outfit!



I found this outfit yesterday at the thrift store. The
great thing about thrift stores is that you never know
what you will find when you go. It is the thrill of the
hunt. AA Gemini Zodiac is our model for today. Her
name is Ginger. I thought the pants looked a little
80's but she pulls if off well. The plants are pleated with
pockets. They are a orange/yellow in color. The great thing
about the pants is because of the pleats, they fit all bodies.
I added the gold shoes from the Brazilian Barbie to
complete the outfit. I think it works well with her hair
color and complexion.

Finds At A Flea Market

Flea Market Finds!

I was at a Church flea market over the weekend. I

went looking for cake! Yes, that's right cake. Old

church ladies make the best cake. I was hoping

for 7-up cake or lemon poppyseed cake or maybe

spice cake. If you are really lucky, you'll find a coconut

cake with creamcheese icing and lemon filling! Yum!

These aren't the kind of cakes you might find at the

market. I found some cake there but not any of the

special ones I was looking for.

I did find these!

A couch tissue box cover. This goes over a tissue

box. There is a slit behing the pillowes where the

tissue comes out. This was luck. I got it for $1.00.

I found theses too.

The brass ones will go well with the sofa.




African decor.


These are classics

These egg holders will make great plant stands or some

other kind of stands. They were 25 cent each.

This is the big score. Tea Time Barbie set. The box says

"With her friends Lil Bear and Cozy Bunny." The set

the bear andbunny, tea service, Barbie doll and two

chairs and a table new in box for $10.00. I have two

matching chair to this set, so I had to have this.

The plush toy crew!

I have one doll with this face. I don't think I need two.

I will have to have a face off!

It was a great day but it would have been even better with some special cake!

Moxie Jammaz House!

Bargain Moxie Jammaz House!

I saw this Moxie house for sale for $10.00. I wasn't sure about
the proportions but I have bought Bratz things and they worked
out or at least I made them work out. Besides,I have paid that much
for a chair on EBay so I bought the house. The box looked great
and it has some really great pieces that I hoped to use on future posts.



I saw this table and chair set, the coat hook



and this cute sofa and I knew it was for me!



But if I had read the fine print on the box before I
paid for it, I would have known that they were not
included. Bummer! I would have purchased it
but I would have known that they were on
the box for show.



For the money, it wasn't a bad deal. This is what I got.
An outside facade that reminds me of the Barbie Grand Hotel.
I have always liked the Grand Hotel. It is hard to find the complete
hotel for sale and not pay an arm and a leg (and a few toes).
The facade has some really great details too.



It has great detail work and windows and it has
great doors. The are a little short. So I will have to do

some modifications to them.

Outside faux lighting details.



You flip the outside and it becomes the inside.

Great details on the inside too!

Wall sconces.



There are two separate wall units that are in bright white

and not the off white of the facade. The

living room and the bathroom share opposite sides of one unit.

Fireplace , faux table with candles, TV with candles ( do people do that?)

and mirror. They really like mirrors with this set. I counted three mirrors.

The bathroom I think is really cool. Plenty of great details.
I am not sure if I am going to keep it the pink and white.

On the box it is blue. The pink makes it look sooo Barbie.

I can see now that many will buy this house and repaint it.

It really lends itself to that.


Toilet shower and sink. Notice the shelf and toilet paper;

along with faux brass fixtures


There are plenty of little doodads to

put on shelves and other places in the house.

It also comes with a really cool tub with ball and

claw feet

I love this. It is a little small but as with

everything else, I will make it work.

The Kitchen!

The kitchen is shallow as compared to Barbie kitchens.

The frig and the oven doors open not the cabinet doors.

The units are shallow along with the sink. I guess

we are talking pretend here ...so what do you want.

Now this is the part to me that is a little strange.

The Bedroom!
I am not a designer but I have never seen a room done

in bright white and cream white. The wall unit for the bedroom

is in bright white but it is to be in a cream white room???

This is the bed that is to be in that room. It is too small

for Barbie, Moxies, Bratz and for all adult dolls.

What were they thinking? It might be able to be

used as a princess bed for Kelly size dolls.

After I bought the Moxie Jammaz house, I saw in for sale atToys R US for

$39.99 ! Boy, did I score a deal!
