Catrinas Underworld by Cife and Maya Studio

So, a few months ago in my usual "browse Amazon's latest releases to see if anything new/interesting has actually hit yet" thing, I stumbled upon a new brand of dolls that looked well... certainly interesting in a post Monster High world.

Cife's Catrinas Underworld.

A line of mexican day of the dead Catrina/calavara (whatever they're actually called) skeleton dolls distributed by a Spanish company called Cife who make "Who's your Llama" and a few other lines of cheap disappointing products.

(salty? Look, those llama things are LAME. I never bothered to review the one I had, it was too shit, it wasn't even cute.)

Anyway,

at £30 each the price tag was eye watering and far too much for an unknown. A new brand from a company most people have never heard of? Mmmm good luck guys.

But I got curious because new doll lines always make me curious so I did some digging.

BJDs - a little ramble about community, the issues and positivity.

Okay disclaimer here, this is gonna get a bit rambly and be long. If you want to skip the DRAMA (tm) scroll down for dolly stuff and pics and all that nice fun stuff.

Otherwise, strap in.

Barbie Black Label BMR1959 GHT91

BMR1959 ght91 is quite a mouthful isn't it?

Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, or the fingers typing it.

Was giving them names too hard?

Anyway,

Barbie signature line, whoop.

LOL OMG series 2 - Miss Independent by MGA

I was surprised to see these come into stock on Smyths, as it doesn't look like the US has even got these yet and Winter Disco only hit like last month!
MGA really is churning these out huh?

Anyway, series 2 of the OMG dolls is out in the UK so of course I had to pounce and get the one I liked best.

So far that's how i've managed OMG. Tried only to get the one from each wave I LOVE and left the ones I like but not as much for clearance.

IF clearance happens.

Series 2 is quite fun. We have a grunge girl, a pastel chick, the fabulous Miss independent and a Rosie the Riveter chick.
