McDo Happy Meal: BARBIE Stationery House

These are Barbie toys, aka stationery supplies. I am not really impressed with the figures because they are in no way looking like Barbie. Released in 2003.

The idea is to collect each piece and connect them together in order to create a Barbie Stationery House. 

I don't have much to say, so I will just have to describe each piece.

Fashion Royalty: Lana Turner "Iconic" Doll

Classy, sophisticated doll. That's how I would like to define this Lana Turner doll from Fashion Royalty. Actually all of their dolls can be defined as that.

I got her second hand from an acquaintance I met through ebay (no original box, doll and stand; as is). You're seeing her now in a Dynamite Girl box. He was able to sell me a lot of Barbies and other dolls, which I have plans of posting in my blog.

I can't remember exactly on when I was able to acquire her, but she's definitely my one and only Fashion Royalty doll. I would like to add more, but budget constraints me in doing so. I think I have already mentioned my stand on that in my previous blogs.

She stays in the box as I do not play with her her that much. Since I got her, I haven't attempted to take off her clothes, especially her head piece. I just search through google photos of how she would look like if she's restyled.

She was released by Integrity Toys, limited to 1000 dolls.

McDonald's Happy Meal: Finding Nemo

The other day, my cousin was watching Disney Channel and showing was Finding Nemo. Then I told him that I have the Happy Meal Toy versions of the characters. So I asked him to find and look for them in the attic. Initially he only found 6, which doesn't include Nemo himself and Dory. After insisting that he tried his best in finding them, but he didn't see them. He even suggested that I might have not completed the entire set. And so I told him that I was so sure that I got all of them. Knowing myself, I would definitely have completed them. 

Today, I asked him to look for them again as I was so certain I got all of them. And so my cousin scouted the attic again and lo and behold! Yes, I was able to complete them!

They were released in 2003, so that means that they are already 10 years old. If only they are children, they should be in school by now. 

I definitely do not need to give further details about them as I am sure everyone knows them! 

So here are their additional photos:

McDonald's Happy Meal: Rockman Exe

I actually didn't expect that I have this set, and I have even completed it. They were released in 2005.

I didn't know about Rockman Exe until about last week when I saw them and I checked about them through Google. So I do apologize if I can't say anything more about them. 

It's just that they come with sort of chips: 

These chips you will have to swipe in each toy for them to release their "powers".

According to Wikipedia, Megaman Exe is more of the Japanese name of anime/manga based on Capcom's Mega Man Battle Network video game. They are also known as MegaMan NT Warrior.

Without further ado, here are their additional photos:

McDonald's Happy Meal: Hello Kitty & Dear Daniel with Shinkansen

The Complete Set!

This set was released in 2003, so that means that these cuties are 10 years old already! It was the time when I was high in collecting the Happy Meal toys. It's great that I was able to keep them all these years. 

The past few days I have realized how much toys I was able to accumulate. And there was this time, probably around 5 years ago when I have given away the small toys that were out of the packaging. 

I like Hello Kitty, she's cute, but not really into collecting. Original items are costly, so I would just get contented with fastfood toys.

As for Shinkansen, I was really not familiar until I got these toys. By the way, both of them came out the same time.

McDonald's Happy Meal: Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus

I may be a fan of Barbie, but not to the point of watching Barbie movies. I have seen some of them, but I am really not too eager.

But I collect the dolls and the toys, especially from McDonald's. Although the mini dolls do not look like Barbie at all. This particular set was released in 2005.

I've kept them for quite sometime, but I guess not it's time for them to be taken out of the plastic packaging. And for sure, I will soon have the storage challenge again. And I should be anticipating the fact that they will be losing quality. I mean like now, I just got them out so they look so new despite that I got them few years ago. 

So here are their close up photos:

Rainy Day Today

It's a rainy day today. There's no storm, just the regular rain. Gloomy, as how I should describe it. 

I am not a fan of the rain because it feels like numbing a quarter of my senses. As others describe it, it's a "bed weather". I had plans of going out, to stroll in the mall or perhaps try to get new Liv dolls. Have a great resto meal, or a milk tea, or dessert. Yet the rain makes it difficult for me to move. So I just might stay home. 

The past few nights, I started looking into my Happy Meal toys. I have been taking them out of their plastic packagings, and take photos at the same time. Although I am kinda slow uploading them. 

I am now realizing how much treasure I have and glad to be seeing how cute and pretty they are. Will all the features like making them move and all, simply happiness! Just like being a kid again. 

Being a kid-like is something that not all people are aware of. At the outside, I am a serious person. An introvert. Mysterious somehow. People actually see me as someone who can handle pressure. Like most of them are cramming already and yet I seem to be so calm still.

Anyway, I just hope that I will be able to have more posts this weekend! But as of this time, my eyes are starting to close and get some snooze. Ciao!

You just saw the members of the Mirumo de Pon set. These were released in 2005. They are about 3-4 inches tall.

Mirumo de Pon is a manga series. All of them have winding keys that makes them move and play their respective musical instruments.

So here they are now as a group and their photos while still in their packagings:
