Video Of The Month!

Hey Gang!

I am featuring one of my favorite doll video makers, DIY doll stuff makers and
an avid recycler -- My Froggy Stuff!
They reviewed the Disney Store Moana Doll!  I thought it was a good review.
I wanted to share it with you plus post my own review of the Hasbro Moana!

Disney Store Doll

She has a smile (without teeth for those of you who have a thing about that)
and they have made her look feminine!

If you shop in Walmart, Target or Toys R Us, you might have also seen this Moana

but she is different.  This doll is made by Hasbro.  Different makers do dolls 

differently as you might have notice from Mattel versions of Disney dolls!

Hasbro Doll

This doll is shorter--not 11 inches like the Disney.

She is just about 9 inches.  More like Stacie!

There isn't the same detail in the clothing as the Disney Doll.
The costume's detail is printed on.
She does have articulated elbows and knees!
 The Hasbro doll doesn't look as feminine as the Disney Store doll!

There other Hasbro versions of this doll like in the 

Disney Store!  This set with Maui 39.99...

 and by himself for 29.99!

 He is not really play scale!
Ms. Leo: Maui, I see you in the thrift store!

There is one that comes with a boat!
At a boat load of money 30.99
I am kinda liking the boat but I don't need
 another boat around here!

They used a better looking doll pictured on the box.

This is the one that sings at 29.99!

Ms. Leo: I have some stories to tell you about 

talking/sing dolls going off in the middle of the night! 

 This one swims for 19.99

I really think this the Hasbro version of the doll makes a better boy.  So that
is what I did. To me the face looks like a young boy.  The hair is a bit long, so
it might need cutting.

Yes, there are small breast but they can get covered.  They are not the size of
Barbie breast and to me aren't a big deal.

The articulation isn't too band but the feet are big and wide for the body.
The doll does have Fred Flintstone feet! As a girl, heels are out!

 Compared to Stacie!
Moana is taller!

 Compared to Skipper!
Moano is smaller!

 Moana redress as GT!  He is my new Native American boy!

GT's real name is Adoeete! Which means Great Tree in Kiowa. 

GT: Hey Gang!

There will be more on GT in November!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Thanks Miss Lola!

Hey Gang!

I know I haven't been posting as often.  I hope to change that soon.  Lately I have
been concentrating on moving my extra dolls and doll related items on Facebook!
I use to have 4 1/2 boxes of stuff to go.  I now have 2 1/2.  That is a lot to me but
not my husband.

It is hard to sell thing where other people are selling things you want at
great prices and not do some purchasing too!  And to all my friends
"Down Under",  there are people selling great stuff from there too!
I really have to look at where the person lives to determine if I want to
pay shipping from that far.

I have been working on doll projects too.  I hope to get a few photo stories
in shortly and show some of my new acquisitions.

For right now I want to thanks "I can quit any time...musings of a collector"!

She was giving some of her extra doll bodies away a while back and I got 

a few to rebody some of my girls! 

Everything came nicely packed and in good conditions!

These bodies are Nikk and Grace skin tone!

So thanks again Miss_Lola_77!

OK Thanks for Looking!

Just Saw the New Fashionista AA Ken!

Hey Gang!

I just saw the new fashionista Ken on Instagram! I am so excited! I really what
this guy!

I hope the hair is real and not molded!  But I will take him if it is!

The real question will be can he be rebodied and on what body!  

He seem to have the un-articulated body of the new Fashionista!

 Here are the new Fashionista Kens for 2017!  The hispanic ( has a smile)

I can't wait to see what the OOAK folks do with them!

OK, Thanks for Looking!

Two Sulu

Hey Gang!

So when I was trying to correct and error in a post I lost it all together!  I was happy to find out that the pictures were still available on my album archive!  So now I am reposting it again and adding
new details that weren't there the last time.

The Post!

I have two Lt. Sulu action figures!
One is a 1999 action figure and the other is a 2009 action figure.  Both by Playmate

Hikaru Sulu is character in the Star Trek portrayed by

George Takei in the original Star Trek series and 

John Cho in the Star Trek the reboot film series.

Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek,  did not want a nationally specific 

surname, so he looked at a map and saw the Sulu Sea. 

"He thought, 'Ah, the waters of that sea touch all shores'.

My First Sulu

 I had him redressed in this Bruce Lee outfit so I left 

him in it.  He likes it much better!

Second Sulu

He is in the original outfit for this picture.

 There is more detail in this uniform than the older one. There is more of a pattern
to the shirt and more detail in the pants too.

The problem with both this action figures is....

The boots don't come off!!! GRR!!!

No real feet!

I was told that Hey, it is Muff know how to remove the boots on the newer
action figure. Hey, Muff if you do, please let me know!

For now this guy will have to make do with the pants he came in.  I can find
shirts for him. He work in the lab around her.  Maybe I can take his head off
and put him on another body?  Hmm, that might be interesting!

Sulu: You can what???

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Video Of the Month!

Hey Gang!

Here is my video for this month!  It is by Sallyheartsjack80!  
He is a real character!
It is a review of Fashionista #45 Boho Fringe Tall!



So here is my Boho Fringe and my review of her and Fab Fringe tall dolls.
First Boho in the dress!

Since I posted the video and others have reviewed also, this will be quick but I will
note somethings that other have not.
Now the back.

She does have a great version of the Desiree head-sculpt. Mine has a little
mole by the eye.  I don't know if other dolls do also.  Those of you with this
doll, please let me know. She is also a different complexion than Mattel normally
does. She is not the older AA/Christie complexion, nor is she the complexion
of the SIS dolls either. She has a different undertone than most of the
Mattel dolls.  More like an IT complexion.

Outfit #2!  This is the outfit that really sold me on the doll!
Sallyheartsjack80! is right! This outfit is well made and reminds me
of the Fashion Avenue line! The heft of the material is different than what
we normally see now!

 My Apollonia really wants this outfit! 

 She says it is a little short for her anyway!

 Outfit #3, not much style but great pieces! 

 The pink looks good on her!

I wanted to see if her shoes were like some shoe I have from another fashionista.

They weren't!

Next up- Fab Fringe! 

There was something about this doll I had to have! I have a ton of this head-sculptM
Mbili but I still had to have her!  I just love her hair!

Back in the day, we use to get this look with Kool-Aid!

Outfit is not bad. Like the other,  not much style but great pieces!

Yes the pattern is just on the front.  I was suprised that there wasn't velcro openings on the back of this and the tops from Boho Fringe.

Cute boots!

Yeah, the hair!

I have seen it restyled on blogs and flickr.  So it is not just a one cut look!

Warning Nude Dollies!

Here they are with out their clothes!  Long torso.

 I noticed some issues with the legs and ankle! This little dots!

 They are not on Curvy or Petite!

 Lines on the legs too!

Hopefully you can see it! You see it in person.  I don't know if my non AA dolls
had this issue!  I sold their bodies but didn't notice when I had them.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
