Unboxing the new Made to Move Slim Ken

This is the new Made to Move Slim Ken, he's Model Ten from Barbie Basics.  I don't particularly like the line because I can't stand beige, but a new smaller Ken body was worth the investment.  Plus, he has real hair, which is rare with Kens.

Unboxing Shana from Jem and the Holograms

Oh my god, I can't believe I have this doll.  Jem and the Holograms were my lifetime grails, and I now possess them.  Today, I unboxed Shana, the bassist.

2026 Dolly Goals Update 2

Two more months have passed.  A lot of dolls have gone out, and a lot of dolls have come in.  I've gotten some stuff done, but not nearly as much as I'd like.

Reorganize, Consolidate, all those words...

I'm just writing my thoughts down here, because I've had a lot of thoughts about my doll collection today, and they should be written down.  Currently, I have 67 full totes of dolls and friend-shaped toys.  I have 1 empty tote.  And I have 6 dolls preordered, and there's no way they'll all fit in one tote.  So I have to curate my collection a bit before all the preorders get here.

As far as just consolidating goes, I think I can squish some of my Rainbow High dolls together to free up 3 or 4 totes, without getting rid of anybody.  Currently Rainbow High has 17 totes in total, which is a lot a lot.  They're my biggest and most numerous dolls, but I can still store them better, maybe get them down to 12 or 15.

I recently consolidated my Monster High g3 dolls already, so they only take 7 totes, for almost 20 dolls, I'd say that's pretty good.

My sister's Winx dolls and Jewel Riders toys are eating up 4 totes, and that's not okay.  So they need a new, more consolidated box that will go to her when she gets her own space, so I can have my 4 totes back.

Most of my other boxes are pretty well organized.  Smaller dolls are 4 to a box.   Bigger dolls are 2 to a box.  I should honestly double check all of them, but that's gonna take all day.  I will enlist husband to help me and maybe do that this weekend.

Unboxing: Naturalistas Paige

This is Naturalistas Paige, new in box.   I have no words today, so this is just gonna be pic spam.

Unboxing: Naturalistas Liya

This is Liya, my first Naturalista.  I've been waiting for the Naturalistas line to make more articulated bodies, and as of their third release, they now have 11 points of articulation, including knees, elbows, and wrists.  My first choice was Liya, because she has a purple outfit and purple lipstick.

Preordered Kuromi and My Melody Licca-chan Dolls

Big preorder today.  5 Licca-chan dolls popped up on Hot Topic this morning.  I preordered both Kuromi and My Melody themed Licca dolls.  Now I have 3 preordered  Licca-chan dolls to look forward to, and husband says I can preorder 1 more, so I'll have a nice even number.

Preordered Pompompurin Licca Chan

Today, I preordered Pompompurin Licca chan from Hot Topic.  She's a little more expensive than I'd prefer, but she is being imported from Japan and there are tariffs and shit.  Still half the price of ordering her directly from Japan through a reseller.  I'll be honest, she wasn't my first choice, but she's really adorable, so yeah.  She's expected to ship in late May/early June.

Unboxing: Bloom, Stella, Musa, Tecna from Winx Club Reboot

So tired, no words, just pics.

Unboxing: Flora and Aisha from the Winx Club Reboot

My first two Winx Club Reboot dolls arrived today!  Their artwork is the same on every package, so I'm showing that first.  It's a very pretty 3D render of the animated characters.

2026 Dolly Goals Update 1

I'm only 2 months in, and it has already been a jam-packed year for me doll-wise.  There's a lot going on, and a lot to look forward to.  I've been working very hard, and I think I'm pleased with my progress so far.

Jewel Riders and Tenko Dolls Cleaned and Restored

 I worked my fucking ass off on cleaning, repairing, and restoring these bitches.

They had to be scrubbed with dish soap, scrubbed with baking soda, all their clothes washed, lots of chipped paint patched up, and at long last, reassembled.

Licca-chan in the US Hype!

Even more exciting to me than Moonspell Magic, Licca-chan is coming to the USA!  Finally!  I've wanted some Licca-chan dolls for years, but never got them because importing them was prohibitively expensive.  And even better, her debut line is a Hello Kitty collab!  I want them all!!!  It's so nice to be getting good news in the doll world for a change.  It's been over a year since I've gotten this much good news.  I can't wait to find out more.

Moonspell Magic Hype

I have not made a hype post in over a year!  There was absolutely nothing that I was hyped about in 2025.  It's SO nice to have something new and sparkly to look forward to!  I've been so distraught, I've been collecting rectangle headed dolls that I'm iffy about just to survive!  I feel like these precious dollies were made for me!  Moonspell Magic is a spinoff of Monster High g3 and dolls are expected to come out this summer!

Etsy Haul: More Stuff for Coby and Redd

New month, new budget to blow, and more treats for my two favorites, Coby and Redd.  I ordered from two different Etsy shops this time, getting them merfolk tails, swimwear, and some simple suits.

Rectangle Heads Existential Crisis part 2

 I don't hate my silly rectangle headed dolls!  They're cute!  Man, the back and forth keeps going.  You see, what happened is, I have a metric ton of little plastic mini dolls right now, and they all have rectangle heads!  And I love them!  Why do I have so many?  I asked for many for Christmas, and then I bought more, and then I bought even more.  That's it.  That's the story.  

Gallery: Gabby and Lola again

Here's two dollies I haven't played with in a long time, but still have, Gabby and Lola!  They were the first dolls I talked about on this blog, back in 2011.  They are my only Volks Dollfies, and they were discontinued when I got them.  I still have the Volks USA membership card that came with them though.

Rectangle Heads Existential Crisis

Okay, just when I thought it was a matter of life and death to get Dress to Impress dolls tonight, my dear husband pointed out they aren't really my aesthetic, like, at all, and maybe I've just been desperate to accumulate more dolls to make myself feel better...  I got the Royale High fairies on a deep discount, so they're less harm, but the Dress to Impress dolls are full price or more.  And maybe, maybe, I need to add a new rule to my doll rules list, maybe saying they shouldn't have rectangular heads.

Unboxing: Chromae from Royale High

This is Chromae from Royale High, an ice fairy that I got from my husband for Christmas.  I chose to unbox her today.

Etsy Haul: Clothes for Coby and Redd

Coby and Redd got a package today from Etsy.  I didn't go too crazy, since I'm trying to stick to a budget this year, but I wanted them to have some nice things that I can't make myself.

Unboxing: Spectra Vondergeist

I've held out on this girl for a year, but she was clearancing out during the holiday season, so I snagged her on a good deal, and man, I feel guilty, because Spectra is so beautiful, she's worth full price.  This is g3 Spectra Vondergeist, and she's hauntingly beautiful, which is perfect for a ghost.
