Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Dream Ella Unicorns?
« on: December 13, 2021, 10:50:04 AM »
I love this!

Never heard of the show, but the unicorn reminds me of the Fantasy Fillies- so pretty

************** SOLD THANKS!



So I got these in 2015 or 2016 when they first came out- thinking I would smash the little "snowbaby" off of them and keep the absolutely gorgeous vintage style porcelain ponies somehow..  Only, I never really had the nerve to do it.   So they have sat here in their boxes in my office since the day they arrived- and now that I am moving offices- it is time for them to go!

Before I put them on ebay- I thought I might check here to see if anyone was interested.
Price is $79 for the pair - (basically original 2016 price my shipping cost back then)

Shipping will probably be pricey to warn you-  if you want to check before inquiring-  at usps.com, my zip is 98164, and the weight is 2lb 14 oz (so just shy of 3 lb).   

Plus they are porcelain, so while they are packaged remarkably well in foam, with even more cushioning in the box- I think they probably should go via insured mail, because you just never know.  If you want to waive insurance, we can discuss. 

Anyway, they are cute-   the ponies that is.  And who knows, maybe some people also like "snowbabies" ...  or have a better idea about how to get them off the pony...

The Dollhouse / MONSTER HIGH RETURNS
« on: October 30, 2020, 01:43:46 PM »
Well, not like it WAS of course, but there are a couple of "collector" dolls coming- apparently they are the dolls that Mattel was planning to release at SDCC, but ... you know, COVID thing.

ANyway the "official" release to retailers (I'm sure as usual, MATTEL has a HUGE edition size of these) - is technically December 2nd- but I'm SURE you will start seeing them various places earlier than that.

There are already "placeholder" listings on Amazon Canada and Amazon USA

Some details: http://www.youloveit.com/dolls/1129-mattel-will-release-2-new-monster-high-collector-dolls-in-2020.html

THIS is the site the initial batch was released through- but they sold out instantly because there were not many, and they were sold with a special poster or something.
https://creations.mattel.com/

HOWEVER-  according to their instagram-  they are hinting that something is coming- so I suspect they will pop back up on this site as well. 

The dolls are the twins from THE SHINING
and PENNYWISE

I want Pennywise so bad, haha

OMG Jem is back for 2020! by Galacticatt, on Flickr

So Integrity Toys is apparently doing another limited run of Jem dolls!  It appears they will be sold through IT only so I guess I will have to rejoin wclub - arghhh!

Seems from this description they will probably stick to the basic characters?  But I hope they do Raya and Danse....  and wouldn't mind another classic Jem...  if they do some of the super odd "fashions" that never made it to production, my wallet will be safe....

Quote
After a several year hiatus, Integrity Toys will revisit some of the most popular characters from the iconic brand in the form of high-end collectible dolls, specially created to celebrate the brand’s major anniversary milestone. Collectors will once again be delighted by these “oh so 80’s”, ultra-detailed dolls that will feature signature costumes and accessories inspired by fan-favorite looks from the cartoon and Hasbro’s vintage packaging visuals.

I'm sure you are all aware of the catastrophic fires ravaging Australia since September. An estimated 800 million animals have been affected.

WIRES (Australia's largest wildlife rescue organization) is rescuing and caring for as many sick, injured and orphaned native animals as possible. 

I decided to put the money I was about to spend on a pricey doll, on this organization. I can't bear to look at the news update photos, it is just too sad.

The Dollhouse / Mattel just launched gender inclusive doll line
« on: September 25, 2019, 11:00:48 AM »
And they are really cute!  They kinda have shrunken EAH faces- my kid isn't quite old enough for these dolls yet, but since he already plays with kelly dolls and is so frustrated by their lack of ability to SIT DOWN- I will get him at least one to test :D  (I hope they are sturdy!)  They appear to come with a LOT of goodies...

They are now available online at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.

"The idea for the line comes from concern from both parents and children about the gender of toys," Mattel said in a statement. The line consists of six different doll kits, retailing for about $30 and available in a variety of skin tones. Each kit has one doll, two hairstyle options (one longer, one shorter) and varying clothes.

Here is a link to Zaltan Kusnoor's post this morning as he was one of the team who worked on the doll line. https://www.instagram.com/p/B207br5pFgR/

Pony Corral / Did U miss Stranger Things AJ?
« on: September 12, 2019, 09:11:12 AM »
If you missed out on Stranger Things Applejack at Target-  never fear!  Looks like Amazon is now selling them.

They are a "pre-order" which tells me they are probably whipping up a new batch based on high demand!

US amazon listing:
https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Fun-Little-Pony-Applejack/dp/B07X3PZ9CL/ref=sr_1_21?keywords=retro+pony&qid=1568304514&s=toys-and-games&sr=1-21

UK amazon listing!  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Basic-Fun-Little-Pony-Applejack/dp/B07X3PZ9CL/ref=sr_1_16?keywords=basic+fun+pony&qid=1567715439&s=gateway&sr=8-16

I will admit the pony is every bit as cool as the promo pic if not better. I love her soft silky hair and upside-down apples :D

The Dollhouse / Basic Fun Peach Blush Strawberry Shortcake
« on: September 12, 2019, 08:41:47 AM »
Sorry can't find the old Basic Fun SSC thread-  where did it go ?

Anyway I was looking around on Amazon yesterday for the available ponies- and I ran into Peach Blush!  She came out in super super small quantities a year or so ago- right before production stopped. So there were hardly any around and then when you saw one for sale on ebay it would be for $50. HAH!

But now she's popping up for $12.99!  So I finally nabbed one. She is SO CUTE!  (Even if she is way over-scented with some "berry" smell)  She arrived yesterday and is every bit as cute as the promo pic- so happy!
https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Fun-Strawberry-Shortcake-Classic/dp/B00JS0ZIW8/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=peach+blush+basic+fun&qid=1568302853&s=gateway&sr=8-1

SO glad I waited now instead of overpaying.  I hope this means the Toddler sets may be on the way!

The Dollhouse / Anyone recognize these doll clothes? Barbie? Bratz?
« on: August 26, 2019, 01:19:25 PM »
I recently bought a Misaki doll from Yahoo Japan auction and she came with a bunch of extra clothing that re not original to her-

Anyone recognize them?  Barbie or some other modern doll I would guess ?

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Cat Game - another cat hoarding game?
« on: August 15, 2019, 04:25:34 PM »
I've been playing this "Cat Game"  on my phone- it is surprisingly cute and addictive.  There are also a lot of unicorn and seahorse and pegasus type "cats" (not sure how they are cats but somehow ?)

It is a "collecting" game, but in between you craft materials for decorating rooms, and play "mini-games" which are pretty cute and fun (I like the fake tetris-type game)

Here's the link:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cat-game-the-cats-collector/id1125011102

Anyway, if anyone wants to play-  it would be awesome if you could identify me in the "Who referred you" section (GALACTICATT) as I'd get a special "key" for opening new "cats"!

Here is their facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/ilovecatgame/

Pony Brag Arena / $2.99 Tempest & ST AJ!
« on: July 09, 2019, 12:55:32 PM »
So I was wondering by Ross and decided to check to see if they had ponies.

They had one Pinkie sea-pony, and a stack of these Tempest play-sets.  There were no prices on them though.  I got a couple of other things (for the kiddo) to make it worth waiting in the 20 minute line, and then waited in the line (which was so ridiculously long and unnecessarily slow as it always is).

I looked at the receipt and was pleasantly surprised to see that the Tempest set had been only $2.99!

SCORE!

Shown with another recent acquisition- ST AJ, who I also dearly love, to show size.

I would like to offer to get others the set -  but seriously I cannot wait in that excruciating line again, it almost killed me...
