Monster High G3 Torelei Stripe Unboxing

Here's Torelei Stripe, g3, in the box.  She came out 2 years ago and is now on clearance for 9$ at my local Walmart.  Since I heard a rumor she's Clawdeen's gf now, I couldn't pass her up anymore.  I couldn't stand her in g1, but she comes around in g3, so she's allowed in.  I was gonna get the 3pack with her cousins, but it was too expensive and hard to find.  So, I got this one.  Ironically enough, this gets me into an odd number of MH dolls, so I have plenty of excuse to get Catty Noir when she comes out.

Rainbow Brite Unboxing

She arrived today!  This is the newest Rainbow Brite doll.  She's 13cm tall, and really well articulated, and super cute!  The packaging is delightfully retro with original artwork from the 80s.

Rainbow Brite Hype

Another hype post?  Yeah, but this time, one of the dolls is out already and I've ordered it.  I'm a sucker for 80s franchises, so when I heard Rainbow Brite and Strawberry Shortcake were getting reboots at a toy show last year, I was interested.  I didn't pay it as much mind then, because I had Rainbow High and Monster High to think about, but now that I'm pretty much done with both of those, I'm looking for something new to look forward to, and this might be perfect.  It's got 80's nostalgia, but modern mechanics, seems like a good balance of quality and affordability.
