HEADhunter 2nd ed.

Time to confess again. as it was mid December already I could be pretty sure this will ACTUALLY be my last doll purchase of the year AND I could use it as a Christmas present to myself:-)
On 15.12.16 I managed to win one really exciting auction full of doll's heads from one of the British doll collectors group on Facebook...

I set my mind on these christmas pudding goodies... 9 x contemporary fashionistas and some Integrity toys doll bits:-)))

here is a fab fat envelope with a lovely writing...

...and lots of bags with precious load...

This way I have made my collection much more contemporary and up to date...

there are New Skipper 2016 fashionistas (Doughnut and Coral) and two new curvy doll face-sculpts (brunette and blonde), Millie with curly greasy hair I said goodbye to, immediately, and lovely Grace sans her ugly snake-skin dress...



but what's most exciting on so many levels are these three Integrity Toys doll's heads...
They are my first even from this brand but luckily I am not loosing my mind here as they are apparently part of an 'old' playline editions...


The Caucasion (Asian?) ones (two:-) have exactly the same make-up which will give me a lot of headache at some point, I can feel it....

I had no keywords to do my research so I just wrote to the seller and sh egave me very precise answers:-)

The 'ethnic' girl's mold is called 'Janey' and she comes in many shades, styles and versions. My head is part of some shimerring eleganza - soooo 90's!
Fashion Insider - Award Nite 2006 (!)


here is more versions from some lucky owners


She also had rather interesting 'African Legends' editions

Two other heads belong to versions of Jade. 
I only identified one - as a fashionTV Insider doll



you can see in far right that one had pony and other two pony-tails


That's about it.
As great as Janay sculpt is, I am not sure what to think of them and how to see them in comparison with Mattel's products tbh...

p.s. from all their budget dolls I am most gravitating toward 'Alysa'...sometimes presented as bi-racial, sometimes appearing as Latina, to me... oh just look at her!

My dolls - No. 112

The time has come to debox and present one of my few brand new and contemporary dolls...
I spotted a bargain deal on eBay and a doll ticking all of my dolly favs:
- red lips
- brown eyes
- (at least) tanned / mixed race skin tone
- two-coloured brown hair
as well as some extras:
- face sculpt new to my collection
- or gorgeous Goddes mold
- new, exciting curvy type of body
(and tasteful clothes with cool shoes;-)

here she is on arrival (with a fab doll from the next post). Too much joy but I managed not to dilute it I guess:


Here she is Fashionista nr 32 'Dolled up Denim' (2015) freed from her bubble wrap...After Neko with bangs and red lips;-) she is only my 2nd Fashionista (and 2nd Goddess) on board...
Fab face which will have to wait for playtime and redressing for almost 10 months! 
(not sure if my doll morale is from steal or rubber LOL)
last few from unboxing at sunset...

breathing fresh air again....
close-up of secured shoes 
 messy box hair...
visiting her new /temporary accomodation
 feeling like laying down after all this excitement...

 daydreaming...
Few quick fashion decisions...
 swapping the bags, getting rid of good girl's white blouse...
 and she is ready to go!
more fashion play and restyling later than sooner ;-)
