Flickr Account

I also do have a Flickr account and I am writing here the link in case you'd like to see other photos of my collection. 

You'd see dolls mostly, though. Hope you'd like them still.

2016 is coming to a close. One of my resolutions is to actually do a spring cleaning of stuff that I don't need anymore. That includes toys that I am not interested to keep in my collection anymore.

In case I decide to sell some of them, I'll do so through ebay as I already have an account there. 

Perhaps I should allot my weekends to sort them all out once and for all. :)

Entry on Monster High

It's been a looong while since my last entry. I've been wanting to write about so many toys that I've acquired from previous months but then I have so much on my plate that I can't seem to find the time to write.

Now that 2016 is almost over, my New Year's resolution includes updating this blog and be consistent (Yikes! It's been my NY resolution last year and the year before!). 

Anyway, I am excited telling you about yesterday.

Well, for several months, I have been controlling myself not to go to toy shops in order not to get tempted. I still haven't solved my storage problem for my dolls and toys and most of them are still in the attic, waiting to be arranged in shelves. 

I can say that I have been successful, except that I continued completing several sets of Happy Meal toys. :)

Then yesterday, December 26th happened!

I was at the mall to have my regular visit to the spa, then strolled, and shopped for additional gifts. 

We were about to walk towards the parking lot when I felt I needed to pee. We were at the 3rd floor, where the restroom is located, which happens to be where the toy area is located.

I was being a good girl that I only glanced upon the toys and didn't go further towards the dolls anymore.

After I was done, I went out of the restroom and was ready to go home. Upon exiting, lo and behold! The path where I would pass led straight to a shelf where Monster High dolls were on display. In that mall, dolls are placed at the farther area to the right, but for some reason, they have decided to place the dolls just right outside the restroom area.

I said I just would look, but saw them to be on sale! My heart beat faster than ever and I couldn't resist not to look at them! They were all pretty, and even got prettier with their lowered costs.

While browsing, the saleslady approached, saying that they are priced lower because it's an after-Christmas promo and that by the start of January 2017, they'd all be back to the original price.

It was actually a struggle, convincing my self not to buy. However, I was like an addict who's on her way to being clean and yet got faced with the temptation and eventually gave in to her old vice. It really felt that way!

Now to make the long story short, I ended up with a grocery cart full of Monster High dolls and bought a total of 14 dolls at one time. The good thing is, I don't regret even a little bit of it!

I shall be reserving a day to take photos of them all so I'd be able to post them. Hopefully I will be able to show them before this year ends.

I know I will, I am positive.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!


***Update: December 29, 2016***

I purchased another 3 dolls last night (Dec. 28) after office and I am still thinking of getting more dolls perhaps tonight and the next few days. 

This marked the return of an original love. It was an instant collection.
Days after this were already doll-hunting adventure.

McDonald's Happy Meal: Chicken Little

I've had these photos uploaded several months ago and just kept them as "draft". Several times I tried to write something about these cuties and I end up just saving this entry. Now I am finally sharing them to you.

The movie Chicken Little was shown in 2005, so I am assuming that these toys were released the same year as well. I was at the peak of collecting Happy Meal toys so I was able to complete all of them.

I think I have already thrown away the plastic packagings. Apologies if I won't be able to introduce each one of them anymore.

Here they are now:

McDonald's Happy Meal: FURBY BOOM

July 14, 2014

I haven't visited McDonald's for quite sometime as I was trying to avoid buying Happy Meal toys. I was able to resist the adorable dragons from the movie "How to Train Your Dragon 2". However just this night, we had to drop by McDo for dinner when I saw Furby.

I have actually been a fan of Furby since the first time Hasbro released them; I think more that 10 years ago. I even have the Japanese version that was released at a later date. This is the bigger version and I still have about 2 of then in boxes.There is also Shelby, the shell. 

To make the long story short, I wasn't able to resist getting them. Good thing they're just 4. The other 4 are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which I do not have plans of buying anymore.

I am initially posting the photo I took earlier while at the store. I will definitely be having breakfast tomorrow so I'd complete them already. Once I have all 4, will tear the plastic packaging. I can already hear Baby G saying "Wow!"

July 15, 2014

I only got the chance now to update this entry. Anyway, as what I have mentioned, I tried having breakfast at the McDonald's branch across our office. Unfortunately, they ran out of stock already. I immediately sent an sms to Doc M for him to check the branch in the mall where he's working. 

I had to wait until after office hours, but I was releived when he told me that he was able to buy the last 2 Furbys that I asked from him.

So without further ado, here they are now:

Googly Eyes Furby

Giggling Furby

Bright Eyes Furby

Pet Me Please Furby

Jollibee Kiddie Meal: RIO 2

Date of Release: April 1, 2014

Just after I completed the Super Mario figures from McDonald's, I saw a commercial that Jollibee Kiddie Meal is offering 3 toys from the movie RIO 2. I acted as if I wasn't interested, but last night before going home, I asked Doc M if we can have dinner in Jollibee. 

Suprisingly, Blu the Spix's Macau toy was already out of stock, even though it was only released last April 1st. So I was only able to get Rafael the Bird and Gabi the Frog. They are cute and their sizes are comparable to the toys of McDo. However, when they were handed to me, both toys were light. I have written about it from my previous blogs, and the quality of the Jollibee toys haven't changed. They are still these "seems so fragile" toys that would easily be destroyed if toddlers are the ones who play with them. 

Despite, they were able to put a smile on Baby G's face when I showed them to her. She immediately asked me to keep them in her toy box. I will be taking photos of them and will post here.

To be continued...

McDonald's Happy Meal: Super Mario

Photo taken from McDonald's Philippines Facebook account
Date of Release: March 29, 2009

Last Monday (March 31st) Doc M and I headed to McDonald's so he may have dinner. There was a party in the office so I was full and just opted to accompany him. Upon entering the store, it was then that I found out that they have a new set of toys for their Happy Meal - the Super Mario figures! Oh yes, I had to defy Doc M's craving for a cheeseburger meal and insisted to order 3 burger Mcdo Happy Meal. In as much as I wanted to get them all right away, it was simply impractical to do so because I wasn't really hungry then. We just had to bring home the extra 2 burgers as my system was unable to take in more food.

Day 1 (March 31)

I got *Mario with Pipe, *Mario with Goal Pole and *Yoshi (the Dinosaur). Arriving home, I showed it to Baby G who was then got excited and asked if she could open them already. I said no, and told her that we have to complete all 8 figures first before we open them. The little lady understood and did not insist on opening them, but kept on asking why we couldn't open them. She was contented to get the same answer everytime.

Day 2 (April 1)

Expectedly, I had my breakfast at McDonald's again and got the 4-pc. mini pancakes Happy Meal. I didn't like the other breakfast offers. Then in the evening, Doc M and I had dinner at McDo again but was only able to get 3 toys because Peach, the Princess was already out of stock.

I got *Mario with ? Block for breakfast. It actually ran out of stock that I requested for the one on display instead. In the evening, *Boomerang Mario, *Fire Mario and *Penguin Mario. 

When I got home, Baby G hurriedly went downstairs while asking me if I was able to get all to complete the 8. I told her that one was out of stock. I told her that we could already open all even though we lack 1 figure. The little lady was firm in saying "no" because we have to complete all 8. Oh boy! My EQ is much lower than the 4-year old, but I have no other choice now but to complete them.

And now I am on my day 3, and I won't go home until I get Peach the Princess. 

I will be taking photos once I completed them, so you may expect an update to this blog by the end of this week. 

Ciao!

Yamato: 1/6 WIld Western PEACE MAKER BOUNTY HUNTER

These are Clint Eastwood and Sharon stone dolls or you may call them figures I guess. They go by the characters George and Kelly.

I am a boring blogger today and I do apologize if I tell you to check their details in google as there are quite a number of ebay sellers offering these dolls.

I got them less than five years ago and I actually got 2 Kelly dolls, which the other one I opened already. However, I don't have photos of the opened doll. 

Please see their photos below:
