Charity haul 2 (221, 222)

Ok, ok.... I went out actively looking for dolls in charity shops ;-)
Not my fault they have actually been there...
All of them:
 eleven, barbie extras, bob omg, leia, daisy


Hasbro's Leia was reduced an dI liked her face - boots and vest are to be outsourced as well...



I felt sorry for this Daisy doll - good hair and I wanted her grungy shirt dress.
Millie had her sporty clothes to offer and articulates fashionista's arms...


questionable body donor for Lea but still better than moulded cargo pants....


LOL OMG - I wish I could use their bodies....but charmed with her dark bob, brown eyes and her overalls have great colour and details as well...


...also I finally have some kind of cashflow at 44 not to regret 2nd hand items i left behind no-more...


...so pretty!


...and wow! the coolest comfy panties and black nailpolish combo!


Yum!


....ok...Funko portal has been opened....
and I loved Eleven in the first series <3


Look how great are the details of their stylish clothing!


...and then I saw her...it's so soon since her release...I'm so happy I can experience one of these Barbies extra IRL... and yes semi articulated fair curvy body? yes please!


...the level to which she is not played with is almost sad:-(


...but for my great benefit - she came with sooo many accessories:-)


The colour palette gives me ick and eyebrows are a bit unbearable tbh...


Awwwww



That was a good one:-)


To summarise:





..she seems please...


Mix and match and a wonky wall project...

Thanks!

Carboot (My dolls 206 & 207)


I still haven't been this year but here is our carboot howl from the MayDay bank holiday sale!

Other than the practical summer school uniform, ctusyals and bubbly fidget...


We've got another collectable orangutan to my kids collection, handpicked 6 for £1 or sth Lego pieces and a bag of very detailed animal figurines that need to be sorted and ensembled - pretty book tbh!


Also quite a few real snake skins which I'm pretty sure are vintage and possibly slightly illegal, maybe? So I will need to use it for doll crafts... 


I also found a third bracelet to join my 'african' collection
(Poor Mel B doll still haven't been processed and I'm not sure in which category box she is now...)


Before I'll follow to present my vintage barbies which I definitely don't need but...
so I decided to just add them (mixed up long ago) collection numbers and keep them!

Meanwhile here is a discovery!
£1 for a box....


...very camp, slightly cyber-chic dolls...fully articulated and with inter-changeable hairdos and accessories plus mini dresses


Their facial expressions and gestures are pretty unique as well...





Thay are called Capsule Chx so I assume you can complete quite a collection...of build your own, surprise, customisable android fashionistas etc...

They are by MooseToys and slogan says Clt+Alt+Magic! and Be YOU-nique!...cleaver...



There is quite a few available....


and last but not least a fanart piece

...Barbie wise....I found these!


Quite a classic - green triangles in her pupils give her away and she also kept a piece of her original jewellery. nothing screams more Arizona than a turquoise snake skin!...


Yes, its her the smashing combination of hot pink and turquoise - the 1989 Western Fun Barbie (206)
...of do I remember her.... a dream!


She came with friends, horse and camp (extra fashions as well from what internet revealed)




Everyone so vibrant and handsome!


The other find is yet another classic - 1983 Great Shape Barbie!


I love her modest 70s-ish vibe...very very decoloured sadly (although ot sure i loved that green/turquoise much)




I'm pretty sure mine is the UK green version however :-)




Very lucky :-)))
