Roundup - AKA other crap I bought this month and couldnt fill a whole review with.

I overspent massively this January, but that's nothing new. Jan is restock season, it's the point where, flushed with christmas money, temptation is everywhere.

And so yeah... I splurged... a lot.

and?

Hairdorables Hairmazing Harmony and Kali

Better op

I never know what to put before the cut.

It's hard to write a preamble you know?

Anyway, these arrived at last.

Amazon screwed up my preorder AGAIN. See, you'd expect with a preorder, and indeed literally every other shop does it this way, that when stock came in they'd immediately package up the preorders and prep them to dispatch.
Oh no, not Amazon. That'd be waaaaay too efficient.

Instead what they do is put ALL the stock into regular sales online and then a week later go "oops, that's right, we owe you a preorder" and dispatch at their leisure.

So these girls came into stock on amazon on the 15th. They didn't actually dispatch to me till the 21st. I would have gotten them quicker had I NOT preordered. How's that for fuckery?

So yeah, yet again, Amazon fucking suck.

-_-

Kidz N Cats David

Okay so, here it is, a Kidz N Cats David doll.
Now, of course, I don't have to tell you guys that 18 inch child dolls aren't usually my cup of tea. I'm much more of a fashion doll kinda guy but TK Maxx had them in for £30 (they retail for over £100 usually) and I thought "you know what? Why not?"

It was a proper impulse buy. Lol.

But was it worth it?

Clear out, for reals this time!

No preamble, let's just DO THIS THING

Post christmas roundup AND a clear out

Gadzooks, I survived christmas! and new year!

And I have enough energy to actually write a blog post!??

what is this witchery?

Okay in all seriousness, this is gonna be a rather random all over the place one. First the things I bought this month, then the stuff i'm looking to rehome.

Are you ready?

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.
