Now it isn't up to date but it was the only book I found out there on Disney dolls! I showed you the book before but I didn't say what was in the book.  

Unlike Barbie dolls Disney doll don't have dates on their heads.  Some of the older Disney Store dolls don't have any info on the body or head at all. This book will help you ID your dolls! It can be found on Amazon and eBay.

Cruella DeVille

May is Disney Month Live Action Mulan

 

 Hey Gang!

I posted about this doll before but I haven't reviewed her on my blog.  

So here is my review for Disney month!

I like the backdrop and hope to use it.

I found this doll at a local discount store!  I couldn't see paying $15 for her with not articulation.

Here hair is the softest but it is OK. I know that there is a Disney Store version that is more

high end but that isn't this doll. So harder hair, nor articulation and lower end outfit. 

But for a basic doll, she is OK.  The top and the pants don't have finished hems.

The boots can work for other dolls with larger feet.

Warning! Nude Dolls!

This Disney store doll is reminiscent of some Mattel dolls.  

The body is similar to  Diamond Castle dolls like Melody here!

Live Action Mulan doll.

Her face is closer to Mattel Lea's face than the Mulan dolls of the past.

She looks more like Lea than the old Mulan doll produced for Disney by Mattel!

She was moved to a Liv doll body!

Here We Go Again!

 Hey Gang!

This is a Copycat!

The expression on the cats face is like mine! A little watchful and a little pissed!

Here we go again! Back in September of 2013 I battle with blogspot.com over another blogger coping my post as their on material.  It took complains and showing them that the post was copied word for word before it was finally taken down!

Just today I got a notice that some doll I order are on they way.  I started searching the web to see what others are saying about the doll and what do you think I saw.....that right my post word for word on another website!  I contacted them and left a message but because they aren't a part of blogstop, I can't complain to them.

This is my post that you may remember from 3/14/22-https://i-luv-dolls.blogspot.com/2022/03/jayla-and-jackson.html

Toy Newz-Toy and Action Figure news and forum

This is their post from the next day:  https://toynewz.com/2022/03/15/jayla-and-jackson/

Now this isn't the first time I have notice my material being used on the net and facebook. I do contact the site when I see it and ask them about it. Some take it down and others will give me the credit.

I am normally not as mad if it is just the text. What will get me upset is the use of my pictures without credit. I will say to you that you should always be on the lookout to see if your are posting are showing up in other locations.

My question to my followers is in the age of Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram and people sharing photos from one place to another, are copyrights no longer important and honored? I would love to hear what you think!

So Now that everyone is talking about Will Smith!

 Hey Gang!

So Now that everyone is talking about Will Smith!

While I wont mention what happen at the Oscars, I figured it was finally time for me to post my Original poseable Action Figure Hot Toys from 2001!

He came nude and I think he was modeled after  Will Smith from Independence Day.   

I actually purchased him back in 2002 and haven't posted him or played with him since 

my purchased him off of Ebay.

Warning Nude doll/action figure!

Out of  his plastic container with hands removed.

He has the Truetype Famoustype with 34 Joints.  He was the first action figures and the first with this type of body.  I also have another with this body.  On my blog he is known as Dupre-Blues-Becker.

One reason is his face!

closeup

The pinkish paint on his lip and under his eyes seems off to me! 

Now you couldn't see this when I purchased him.

Also his complexion is darker than Will Smith is in person.  This was one of the first 1/6 scale dolls/action figures with Will's likeness so I had to have him back then!  

Many dolls and action figures are release in relationship with a movie of TV series.  This doll was released in 2001 and it was still a bit early in Will Smith's acting career.  The first movie I believe where he really got notoriety was Six Degrees of Separation in 1993.  After that he did Bad Boys, Independence Day, Men in Black, Enemy of the State (One of my personal favorites. I need a Regina King doll!), Wild,Wild West, The legend of Bagger Vance and Ali in 2001, the year this figure was released.  He went on to do many more movies and TV series.  He even stating his own production company. He is considered on of the highest paid actors.

This headsculpt's complexion doesn't seem to match any of these characters for the movie he did prior to 2001. So I am still thinking Independence Day. As for the eyes and mouth, at this point in my dolly career I think I can change that and will this year.

Another reason he did get to much play time is his hands. This type of action figure has problems with the hands.

The fingers are articulated having wire in side of them. Trying to pose the hand or the storage of the figure out of the plastic container it came in will cause the problem. The base of the hand break away from the stem of the hand joint.  The stem can break off in the forearm.

The feet  are bigger than Ken doll so you will need your lager male shoes for this guy!  the hand join. 

So I will leave people with a better background on these types of things to discuss Will Smith's behavior!

Jayla and Jackson!

 Hey Gang!

Look at what is new! New faces too! Barbie It Takes Two Playset with Jackson and Jayla Twins Dolls!

Aren't they cute! I love the names too!  I think they are Stacie size or maybe Skipper size, at least I hope so. I would be disappointed if they were the size of  Max and Marie.

They come with all this stuff!

The come with 13 Storytelling Pieces including 3 Pet puppies and Accessories,

 Photos from Amazon 

So I'm guessing 19.99-25.99.

They were being sold on Amazon but they were out of stock when I checked.

Black noses! Yay!

You know I got to have them!  Mattel get five stars for this one. Even with the girl having the bent arm!

OK Thanks For Looking!

Fresh Dolls Go On Sale At Walmart!

 Hey Gang!

So I have seen some posts on Facebook but when I went into my own Walmart the Fresh Dolls were on sale! The only fashions that I saw was this one and I purchased it.

And at $2.00 why not!

Her are some of the dolls that were left to purchase for $6.50!

I purchase this one for the body and the clothes.  I don't like the head size of these dolls.  If they are still there when I go back, I will get the one in the gold dress too!

I am not sure if they are being discontinued or what but I was surprised to see them at this price.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Barbie 80's Cher Bob Mackie Doll

 Hey Gang!

So back in 2007 I purchased a 80's Cher Bob Mackie doll by Mattel. It is what year now and I am just getting around to posting her. Yeah, I'm way behind. So here she is! 

"If I Could Turn Back Time"

If you were around back then, you know that this song blared off the radio all day and it was one of the most popular videos!  Her outfit is iconic!

 

Promo photos!

Back of the box!

More Promo Photos

I kinda wish now that I had purchased two and kept one in the box! As you can see, her eyes are blue!  She actually has brown eyes but she wore blue contacts back then. It gave he a kinda different look!

Here she is in her Native American costume by Bob Mackie also!

I didn't purchase this doll and thus far I haven't regret that.  She is beautiful but I 

really want the first one!

So after I purchured the one on top, I rebodied her onto a Disney Store body. Here she is  pictured from one of my post on Rebodies dolls.

In this close-up you can see her blue eyes, her high cheekbones and full lips. She looks Russian to me so her name is Karina.

Karina: I am a business owner and want to open a business with my husband Dimtri! You will met him later!
