Boydolls 2023/24

 Today two boydolls / Boytoy stories....

1.  Halloween appropriate horror story about how Chad (Highschool Musical) got his new body.

The scariest bit of this storyline is that since I started to attend dollmeets I lost a lot of shame around buying dolls just for heads, top snatch their bodies....stealing clothes - I'm not there yet...
Some new boxed dolls happened....


...next thing I know - a disabled male gets boiled and beheaded...hmmmmm


LOL


Hmmmm.....


More scary facts from that night?
Their necks have different mechanics...so some serious carving happened...


...not great but I need a little bit of hood to additionally secure the head ...


...lush hair nicely cover up the scars...
Fancy clothes - and there he is - the newest Barbie boyfriend - more than Kenough...



***

Pt 2 is this great Bumblebee, truly transformative collectable Transformers.
He goes all the way from car to Robot in 50 not easy steps....
then he lights up and talks....

he has been massacred with old stickers and I dug him up from a basket....with a £2 price tag...
apparently these, in working order sell for ca £50+...but I still hold to him...

2007 Transformers Ultimate Bumblebee Camaro Electronic Figure Comes A 1/18 scale

Took me a YouTube tutorial, 45 mins of figuring things out and W14...

Grumpy much, no, yes... we could have been more delicate - maybe

Charity Shop Looks (No 221)

 Today I am happy to report one rather fruitful trip to Charity shop in Kingston during my lunch brake...



She is Honey Bee from Poopsie Mini Fantasy Friends series 
(yes, slightly hyped to get more 2nd hand)


and the other is - just like that - the curvy, teh tanned, the heavy kajal one of teh Barbie Extra Dolls


 Football Jersey Doll



I love Goddess face sculpt and this is a really successful paint!
Especially if you conceal teh pink bits.


I am also considering doing something to her lip colour...


Rather attractive...


Adorbs!

...and now fast-forward into future - a sneaky peak of how she travelled with me in 2024!
First to Florence in February
