My Baby Princess Jasmine




The grease on her face was an indication that she
 had to be taken out of the box.
Back portion of the box.

I believe I mentioned from my previous blogs that I was in the process of  reviewing my toy collection and that was in 2010. It's already 2013, and I am still in the same process of looking into the attic and inspect the status of my toys, especially the dolls.

Last Monday, April 22nd, I went up the attic and this Baby Jasmine doll welcomed me.  Seeing her greasy face, I knew it's already time for her to go out of the box. 

She's by Playmates Toys, same company that released Waterbabies and Hearts for Hearts Girls Dolls. Released in 2004, so that makes her 9 years old. She's been with me for about 4 years and yesterday was the only time she got released from her box.

All clean. :)
Cute outfit!

The oil-like thingy on her face was sticky.

Her blanket that resembles a magic carpet.
All her stuff!
Feels like brand new!
Happy Jasmine!

Girls From the Post Office: Barbie Dolls


Within the years 2007 - 2009, I was in the stage being crazy over adding dolls, specifically Barbies to my collection. I was so into Ebay International back then, often browsing Barbies.


In July 29, 2009, I had to go to the post office as my dolls have arrived. I don't have clear recollection of that day but for sure I was feeling ecstatic, especially when I started opening the packages. This blog used to have raw pics of the dolls in their boxes, plus the Katiana Jimenez Barbie and Alice in Wonderland Barbie. Due to Blogger's 'automatic save' function while I was editing the photos, only these 2 dolls were saved. 




I was more active posting photos in Multiply, but since they have decided to focus on online shopping, I had no other choice by to transfer to other sites. So these pics are from that site. Hopefully I will find the other photos.

One Time Big Time: My LIV Dolls



Lately I told myself that I am already over the doll collecting addiction, as there are more things that I would like to focus on, like traveling and dining.

I made a mistake. I guess dolls have their special way of reminding me of what my past life was, and the joy they bring whenever there's an addition to my collection. 

ONE TIME BIG TIME. That's how I define my Liv doll purchase. I restricted my self so much these past months in buying dolls. But just last weekend, I received a text message from my favorite salesgirl in one of the toy stores that I used to frequent in, saying that their LIV dolls are already on sale. It was really an effort to avoid walking by the store, but I just couldn't refrain not to look around. True enough, the LIV girls were already on their Sale Rack. The ones I prioritized were the playsets - kayak and cabana from the Making Waves Collection. Then the dolls themselves, as what you can see in the pics. 

I adore dolls with glass eyes since they look more realistic compared to painted ones. This what convinced me to buy Liv dolls. There's also this fact that these girls are not being produced anymore, which means that they will be harder to find in the next few years. 

I am still thinking whether to debox them or not. If ever I do, I will be posting them again. For sure there will be more of them by then.
