Disney and Hasbro! Video of The Month #2!

Hey Gang!

So you might have noticed that the Disney Princesses in the big box stores are no
longer done by Mattel!  They are by Hasbro! Now you might say Hasbro! They
do boys toys not doll! Well here is a video of the reason why Habro is doing the
Princesses! It is interesting!



If you would like information on Hasbro you can find it here!

May Is Disney Month! Simba Toys!

Hey Gang!

May is Disney month and besides Mattel, one of the biggest makers of
Disney toys and dolls is Simba Toys!

For a long time Simba produced the Disney dolls in Disney Stores while the
Disney dolls found in big box stores and toy stores were produced by Mattel.
When I was thrift store shopping, I would find Disney dolls from both!
Simba dolls many not be spot on with the look of the movie.  They do give
a different representation of the movie character.  Also, if you were expecting
the quality that Mattel used to have, you won't find that in Simba.  The body
and the quality of the hair isn't as good! The quality of the fashions isn't as
good sometimes but it isn't that bad either.

 Face A

Face B

If you have seen my three Pocahontas dolls,

the dolls on the end are Simba Pocahontas dolls and the one in the middle is
Mattle!  By the way, the reason the one in the middle looks shorter is that the
others have on heeled boot and the one in the middle is barefoot!

So if you are saying you are not familiar with Simba, Simba makes the

Steffi Love doll and Family

Simba also does a large variety of off brand dolls sold in the USA and around the world.

Scary Couple--Steffi Love --Mystic Girls Set

Evi and classmate

Evi Love--Skate Timmy

You may have seen many of these dolls at places like Ross Dress for Less, Marshalls.

Dress Barn and similar stores.

As you can tell from photos of face A. and face B. like with many Disney dolls, 

there are many releases to be had! So not only are there a lot more girls, there 

are a lot more guys because every princess need a prince! Disney has done as 

many release of the guys as they have done the girls!

So while only in the past 8 years have we seen many release of Ken dolls, Disney

is always pumping out Princes with different face, hair color and ethnicities ! 

Princes Eric, Phillip, Charming, Aladdin and the Beast!

So  check them out online, in thrift stores and flea markets when they open.  There 

are some great Disney doll out there! 

If you are looking for a price guide check out Disney Dolls Guide of Facebook!

May Is Disney Month!

Hey Gang! 

So...May is Disney month!  I have purchase a lot of movie related dolls.
Many are Disney dolls and you might have heard me say " I have never
seen the money but I liked the doll!"  This is quite true of most of my
movie related dolls. Because of this, I don't know much about many
of the Disney characters either. I was surprised to find that many think
that many of the characters are related.  Also, that Disney hinds
"Easter Eggs" or clues in their movies.  This video explains a lot of them.


Know a little may influence the personality of some of my doll's personalities
in the future... or maybe not!

BTW, I had a time find a Disney video for my blog.  Other than doll reviews,
there really aren't a lot of disney only informational video out here!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Video of the Month!

Hey Gang!

I love a good no sew doll clothes DIY project and I love to make doll
clothes out of things I already have or can buy for cheap!  In this
video it show how to make Ken hoodie and knit pants out socks!
So I don't have to through away those socks that have holes in the
toe!
Enjoy!

Obi Wan Kenobi #2 More Of My Star Wars character

Hey Gang!

I have two Obi Wan Kenobi action figures! One I have shown you.

Obi Wan Kenobi

1996 Hasbro, Star Wars Collector Series Obi-Wan Kenobi Fully Poseable 12" Action Figure
Played by actor Sir Alec Guinness.

But there is a another....younger version too!

Obi Wan Kenobi Attack of the Clones 2002 12" poseable action figure by Hasbro.  

The actor who played this version of Obi Wan is Ewan McGregor 

What I like is that he is a redhead!

I purchare him off eBay a while back but with many of my action figures and dolls,
I hadn't photoed him or posted him.

He does look a little like the actor.

Out of the box

He is a very nice action figure and I think his clothes can be used in other ways.

The boots are large can can be used for Ken and other action figures.

 I didn't take photos of his lightsaber but it is pretty nice too!

Here are close ups of the face.  There are enough redheaded men in my opinion.

 Beard matches his hair.  I believe on some men, the beard is darker.

 The pale eyes and red hair are nice contrast.

Steven is doing another interview on local couples!

Steven: Today we are meeting the Westleys!

Steven: Art Westley and...

Art:Hello!

Steven: his wife Molly!

Molly: Hi!

Steven: So how did you meet? And how long have you been together?

 Molly: We met in college!

 Art: Twenty four years ago!

Molly:  Twenty six years ago! Ryan is twenty four!

Art: Hmmm!

Art: We were both science majors and living in the same dorm.  I was the RA and Molly 

was a freshman. 

Molly: He was one of the first people I met!

Molly: I thought he was very smart!

Art: She was all over me!

Molly: What!

Art: You know you were!

Art: You were always coming by my room!

You were the RA and were to handle all the problems of the floor! That is why 

I was at your room!

Molly: Admit it! You were hot for me then and hot for me now! We've got the kids
to prove it!

We're Catholic! That's the reason for the kids. WOW! This was such a bad idea!

Molly: Cut, cut , cut!

Tune in next time!
