Yeah MORE omg. I know I know... I admit it, i'm kinda addicted to them okay?
These two have been teased for ages and FINALLY I found someone in the UK selling them for retail. They don't seem to have hit regular stores yet, I dunno why. It's SLOOOOW here in the UK for toys this time of year and it's really frustrating.
Anyway,
let's get into it.
You know, when this girl was first annouced I was like "meh pass" but then I saw the doll and fell head over heels.
Wierd how that happens sometimes right?
Anyway, let's get into this.
It's finally here! RESTOCK!
or rather, partial restock.
A lot of stuff still hasn't hit or had any sign of doing so before september but some new stuff hit so... yay partial restock?
This means new LOLs including the brand new line, the BTW or "Be Tweens" (Anyone else feel like MGA are kinda scrambling for acronyms at this point? lol)
Let's get into it.
That's right, after weeks of boring nothing newness, it's finally time. Reset looms, which means stores are clearing old stock in preparation.
Which means bargains to be had!
So of course I couldn't resist. I've been waiting for a few things to go onto clearance and while I didn't buy everything I wanted because I decided to have SOME restraint, I did get a lot of new goodies. Ahem.
I have been really slacking off on the doll updates. It's not that I haven't been working on stuff, albeit slowly, it's just I haven't really felt like I had anything worthwhile or interesting enough to share.
I haven't bought any new dolls this month as i've been paying off a layaway instead, which has taken all my funds and i'm waiting for a few things to drop in price anyway.
But I did realise I have several things I didn't actually talk about already here because i'm forgetful <_<
lol.
So here's a random assortment of dolls!
I've been pretty bad at keeping up to date I know. Fact is, we're at the drought point in the year and i'm not able to get out to stores like I would usually.
More sadly, our local charity shop is closing down, unable to survive lockdown 3 (or is it 4? i've lost track honestly) which means i'll have far fewer "thrift store fun" stuff going forward.
However, Ebay is still an option and toy stores are still shipping. I just... I dunno, i'm finding a lot of playline stuff isn't really doing it for me.
Rainbow are very pretty sure, but something about their faces, particularly their rather blank eyes makes me find it difficult to warm to them. Having purchased the ones I liked best I feel no real drive to go out and complete the collection and i'm not entirely sure WHY. It could be that colour blocking just isn't my jam. It could be that their faces are all a bit too samey that I see no reason to have a lot of them... whatever the case, with those being the big "must have" right now I find myself apparently in the minority for not getting as excited about them.
Meanwhile Barbie continues to be boring with terrible clothing, cheap hair and grainy dotty facepaint. Which is a shame as a few of the last fashionistas had really nice sculpts but they're so screwed over by the crappy printed faces and I don't want to have to repaint them you know? I don't see the point of paying full price for something i'd have to fix.
Which leaves us really with just LOL OMG. And I mean I quite like the LOL OMG dolls because their costumes are really fun and varied and despite all having the same face the variety of hair colours, styles and makeup helps to differentiate them a bit.
I dunno, they appeal to me more than Rainbow High does despite Rainbow High arguably being the better value buy.
so this month i've bought a few Rainbow High dolls on clearance... ahem.
I mean at £21 it was rather too tempting. At full price of £30-40 I was holding off on getting any more but then loads of them dropped to £21-24 and I was like "sweet, i'll have that."
lol.
I also went a little mad with aliexpress.
So let's take a look at my March purchases shall we?
Something a little different this time. Instead of a huge doll bundle, today I picked up a huge Plush bundle instead lol.
It was free, but collection only a fair trip away (two bus rides hahaha) but I haven't left the house in so long it was an excuse to go outside.
