Snapstars

Man I have a bunch of things to review, so i'm gonna be queing them so I don't just spam my readers with reviews and then go back to silence okay? lol.

Anyway, first up Snapstars by Yulu.

Because they just hit the UK market and I know people were curious. I mean I know I was.

Curvy Girls (signal boosting)

I don't usually do this, but desperate measures and all that.

there aren't many days left for this project and it's in desperate need of funding.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/curvygirls/curvy-girls-dolls-plus-size-fashion-dolls

So, Curvy Girls are a pretty cool idea. A range of ethnically diverse characters on plus sized bodies to encourage body positivity, all the characters have personalities that aren't just "she likes sports" or "animal lover" (one is autistic, one's transgender even and in law school! Awesome), the company is run by women who are also parents and the dolls will be fully articulated!

COME ON!

You know I love me some toy box diversity.

The only problem is international shipping is uh.. rather painful.

Still, if you can, support them!

With the doll selection so devoid of anything interesting in stores right now we gotta support these small companies trying to bring something new and interesting to the table right?

Let's do this thing!

Good luck Curvy Girls!

More tlc dolls (I need an intervention, seriously, send help)

I need to like.. block Ebay...

seriously.

see, I had such fun with my last tlc bundle and even though I was still working on a few of them I was itching for MORE and this is a dangerous thing.

So when I stumbled upon another random bundle including a Debbie Glitter doll that i've wanted for a while ... well... I couldn't resist.

TLC bundle


I have a weakness. Okay I have several. But a big one is "dolls in need". Especially vintage dolls.

This bundle caught my eye on the dreaded Ebay, a lot of broken bits and pieces but some interesting parts in there. I thought for sure someone else would notice it and outbid me but luck was apparently on my side, the bundle flew under the radar and I won it for the maiden bid.
SCORE.

They arrived a few days later and I eagerly got to sorting.
