Princess & Me Dolls by Jakks Pacific

One of my latest purchases from Shopee, which I am pleased about are four Princess & Me dolls by Jakks Pacific.

I have always been curious about them since I saw them in YouTube, but I think they were never made available in the Philippine market. So my curiousity just remained as it is.

Until I saw the post online and immediately caught my interest. I started negotiating with the seller and she's agreed to give discounts plus free shipping. And so the sale happened. Next thing I knew is that the girls were already delivered. It took another day before I was able to open then as I wanted to document mu box opening through the form of video, which I will be posting in my YouTube channel soon.

They smelled like they came from storage, similar to what you'd smell in thrift shops so I had to give them long baths and good scrubbing. I shampooed and conditoned their hair too.

As of this time, I only have completed Rapunzel, while the rest I have only fixed the hair but continue to be naked. I shall include them in my 'Doll Rescue Project'.

In the meantime, here are their photos, including the before and after of Rapunzel.

Here are the seller's photos of them:

Here are photos when I received them: 

Now here is the upgraded version of Rapunzel. Not everyone may agree, but she's turned into an ordinary school girl upon putting on a set of Tolly Tots fashion.

I like how she turned out:

Thanks for dropping by guys!

Overwhelmed

Eversince I started my 'attic project', I have been overwhelmed by the toys I have acquired over the years. I have lately realized how huge and diverse my collection is and that they immediately need urgent attention to be organized. Organizing them is quite a challenge given the little time I can allot for them. I only have 1 whole day each weekend and about an hour in the evening when I get home from work.

The activity is a heart-pounding one as I unravel treasures I didn't realize that I've had all along. Really exciting!

It is a heartbreaking process at the same time, having to discover toys, especially dolls that got damaged due to prolonged storage.

Right now all I can do is to stay positive and hopeful that I will be able to organize, identify and keep track each and every one of them and be able to provide a proper storage or display area for them.

The attic is still a mess, but slowly gaining space.

Facebook: Pastel Prism

Besides YouTube, I also have started a Facebook account.

I kinda diverted from Flickr, as FB proves to be more interactive.

Progress is just right as I am able to post every week. Having a smart phone also helps a lot in keeping up. Like right now, I am typing this inside the car while stuck in traffic.

The FB account consists of current as well as throwback items.

And as always, I am hopeful in terms keeping it updated.

Please add me. See you soon!

Incoming Assorted Dolls

I just ordered online another set of dolls and few re-ment items. They are expected to arrive either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Besides that the online shop's holding a sale, I also find the dolls as good buys. I will definitely do thorough cleaning but depending on their status, I might change their clothes.

You'll see the seller's photos below:

One of them looks like a toddler Mariah Carey, don't you think? I'll still have to identify her when she arrives.

The Elsa doll has minor damages but since she's an Animator, I don't mind. She'll be the first on my collection as the Animator line is not available in my country.

I am also excited about the Tyco as it was released early 90's. I was surprised that it's supposed to be a 'mommy' doll and she's supposed to be pregnant.

I also go the naked Liv doll, which I will resdress as I have several Liv fashions in my collection.

The re-ments and small items will be added to my dollhouse project.

For Groovy Girl plush, I just thought of getting because I have several playsets like pool, kitchen, etc and yet I didn't have an actual doll. The Barbies and other fashion dolls can actually share the playsets with her as they are of similar sizes.

That's it for today. Ciao!

The Attic Project

I am in the process of cleaning up our attic and I am so glad to be finding a lot of treasures - toys and dolls of course.

My 8-year old niece and I have decided to divide it into 2: one side for her to display her dolls, and one side for me.

Oh by the way, my niece have lately discovered the joy of doll collecting, which  obviously was my influence. This have made her decide to take good care of her dolls as she used to ruin them.

For my part of the attic, I plan to convert one corner into a mini studio, where I can take photos and videos of my toys in order for my YouTube and online accounts to progress.

As a starter, I have already orderes online 2 rotating displays that I can use for small toys and dolls and 1 set of portable studio.

So nice to have something to look forward to. I'd definitely keep you posted. Ciao!

Here are my incoming items:

Pastel Prism is in You Tube

It will bring you to my mail opening video for the Goodnight Kurhn doll.

I know I have so much to improve on but I'm sure that I'm getting there.

Hope you'd enjoy watching as much as I enjoy making these videos.

Thanking you in advance!

Happy 2018!

Happy new year everyone! I know January is almost over but it's better late than never! 😁

...and my doll addiction continues.

Besides deboxing my previous dolls, I am also often on toy stores so I can score good deals. The last holiday season was abundant with doll supplies and the best news is that the dolls were on sale!

Just imagine how fast my heart beats whenever I see the dolls.

I've completed the Hasbro Disney Princesses Royal Shimmer series composed of 11 dolls. I also have 3 out of 4 Frozen dolls (2 Elsa & 1 Anna) and bonus of Olaf doll/figure. Then Elena doll playset where she was with Isabelle plus her friend Naomi Turner doll.

I also got about 5 additional Monster High playsets during the Richwell sale.

I got several Takara Licca dolls (about 8) during my Taiwan trip last September.

And of course, lots of Barbie dolls!

Besides visiting toy shops, I also got several pieces from online shops like eBay, Lazada, Facebook and Shopee.

Kurhn has become my latest obsession. Starting last November, I now have 17 Kurhn dolls and I am certain that they'll grow this year.

I also found several Disney Store dolls like Rapunzel, Maleficent and Mulan. Yipee!!!

I also was able to find a reborn doll at a great price.

Before the end of  2017, I also scored few items - Twozies, Gift 'ems and Koeda Chan dolls from Takara Tomy. Cuties!

That's all for now. Will write more about my doll adventures. This January, I've acquired new dolls already that are really interesting.

Ciao!
