Title: Lady Lovely Locks- Show me!
Post by: LadyPinwheel on March 06, 2018, 01:26:30 AM
Hello all!

I'm not a real doll collector, but I'm starting to reunite with some of the pieces of my LLL childhood collection. I didn't have many, but I can say that LLL and Rainbow Brite were the only dolls I ever really liked.

So, as I wait for my Silkymane and I close a trade for a Lady Lovely Locks doll, could I please see your collections? please?

Thanks for reading and sharing!

Hugs!!

I wish I had some. I loved lady lovely locks when I was a kid.  I had a book, a sort of activity book but soft covered not like an annual, but it had some constellations and the names and I can still remember the pictures.  Every time I look at the sky I think of Leo and Scorpio surrounded by pixietails like the pictures in the book.  It actually really helped me to identify the stars.

10/10 would read it again if I could

I also kept one of the pamplets that came with the dolls.

I'm pretty I got in on the last of the Lady Lovely Locks line because a lot of stuff in the pamplet wasn't in the stores any more. Just the Sparkle Pretty and ballerina dolls.

A few years ago I finally found copy of the hardcover Lady Lovely Locks and the Pixietails: A Fairy Tale Adventure. which expalins how Lady Locks became the ruler of Lovely Locks and why she had rainbow colored hair.

I always loved the Lady Lovelylocks dolls and stuffs- the box art was also always just so beautiful!

Pixietails are fun too-

There used to be a huge fan base and active Lady Lovelylocks fan forum, but like so many others, it an empty hall now. There is still some good info there though-http://ladylovelylocks.org/

I only had a kids lab tray with LLL on it as a kid.  I never had any dolls or merch otherwise.  My cousin had a handful of dolls, and the bedroom and salon/spa playsets.  I used to love putting them together and playing with them.  The Pixie tails were always so neat.  I would love to see more pictures.  I would not mind having a few that I remember but the only thing I have come across over the years is the random pixie tail.  For some reason, I just don't really see the playsets or dolls much.

I got some pictures of my Lady Lovely Locks books. This one took me a while to track down as I could only remember a small portion of it after reading it once at my friend's house (She had all kinds of toys)

It's beautiful! I love the illustrations! ^^

Yesterday I received my Silkymane! And I'm so happy to have her back after so many years. And she came with almost all her accessories, just missing the ribbons :p

I have at least one silky pup and a few (also rare) pixie tails. I would consider selling them to a LLL collector though. Thought of expanding this collection but it's best (space wise) if I don't. LOL.

I recently learned that what I thought was an MLP fakie was in fact Silkypup. XD

I love LLL, especially the books, audio dramas, and the show! It had really deep lore and the characters are so interesting! I wish some of the storyline characters had gotten toys, but I'm really glad Duchess Ravenwaves did.

Here's a tvtropes page about the characters. There are a lot! https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/LadyLovelyLocks

I had Lady Lovelylocks as a kid- I still have her, although somehow over the years her head detached itself from her body :cry: Anyone know how to fix that sort of thing? I still have her, and the dress. Her pixietails got lost over the years though. I think I gave them to others after LLL lost her head.

I always wanted to get Maiden Fairhair and Ravenwaves when I was a kid. Those were my fav characters. Even though Ravenwaves wasn’t exactly that nice, I thought she was insanely pretty! I wanted Prince Strongheart too, but more as the love interest. Usually, that was what the boys were in my toy stories ;)

Fixing doll heads/necks isn't that hard... you just need some superglue and some patience to re-sculpt a bit.  :)

Re-sculpt? Now, you see -to me that sounds difficult :lol: I am not super handy. Do you know of any tutorials? Maybe I’ll see if I can find her in my old toy box. And fix her up ;)

Talk about a walk down memory lane!
I remember I had Lady Lovelylocks herself... the brown haired one & the one with the mermaid tail skirt. Also I may have had the price to!
Thanks for posting the pictures, I really enjoyed looking at them.  =^_^=

Did the nob break?  Probably-  I would just buy a baity looking replacement on ebay.   Search by Lady Lovelylocks or alternatively TCFC doll - steer clear of the ones that look like they have no necks- as they probably also have a broken neck joint.

Yes- the neck broke! Replacement body? Is it common to find that? How do you attach the head again? Just push it on?

Yes, it's nothing special. Just a little nob at the end just like a Barbie doll or nearly every other kind of fashion type doll you have ever seen.

There are plenty of cheap dolls on ebay who can spare a body.  If not today, than just keep an eye out.  I would consider  $3-$5 + shipping reasonable.

Just be very careful when removing the head- hold the head under very hot water (like hot tap water) for a while and that should soften the plastic for easier work.  You can also use a hair dryer but I always fry the hair or burn my fingers that way...

Oh my goodness, this thread is amazing... Lady Lovely Locks is my favorite of the things I have, though I don't have very much! I'm so glad to see that people still love them, I'm always looking to expand my collection so this is a great reference! Thank you to everyone that has posted so far!

I love the whimsical femininity of this franchise's art and character design, I think it's just lovely!
