Almost finished with my letter, but I'm having a hard time finding pics of merchandise.  Anyone know actual names of some of the merchandise sold?

EDIT: a few more clicks and I found it! ^_^

Off Topic / Re: Coloring Books?

I've jumped on the coloring book train late in the game too (only started last year), but it's addicting!  I think I like collecting coloring books more than coloring in them because I've acquired quite a pile with untouched pages, lol. 

I generally like using watercolor pencils and sharpies (with paper underneath to protect); sharpies are awesome because they come in almost every shade of the rainbow, and mimic copic markers (very expensive art pens that make shading effortless). 

I haven't come across a page I didn't want to ruin just yet (maybe because I haven't really sat and flipped through all my books yet, lol), but I would probably make a photocopy and color that instead.

it all depends on management.  I managed to go to a Target that was setting up the endcap early.  I was able to locate the DCPI online and the associate asked her manager if she could sell me a set early.  I just about died in the store of excitement :)

If anyone needs it, the DCPI is 086-00-2831, My Little Pony Animal is what the tags are going to say.  xD

Thank you so much for this!  I went to Stockbyme.com and entered the DCPI and my Postal Code; looks like all Target locations in my area have them in stock!

@landofvinylandresin

I mostly post BJDs, but occasionally my other collections such as MLP, Nendos, and misc. things I find!

Oh no!  I unfortunately don't have Kaya's dress so I have no idea how to clean it.  It looks like it might be suede?  Hopefully someone will know!  Good luck!

Omg, omg, omg!!!! I am so jealous right now, gah she's so pretty! Your so lucky, major congrats! May I ask where in the case assortment did you pick her from?

Tulips I'm pretty sure the glitters replace the other chase figures which is why they are a hot topic exclusive.

She was actually stacked in a display pyramid on a table, so no clue as to where she was packed originally unfortunately.

Thanks everyone!  @leaveawhisper I didn't even realize but you're right: she's missing her horn, lol.  Either way, she's amazing!

Edit: sorry she DOES have her horn.  I'm apparently a doof and can't remember what I got a few hours ago (I don't have her in front of me at the moment), or see my own pic very well, lol.

I second craft foam board shelving!  Inexpensive, and there are some really good tutorials on Pinterest, though I would recommend using a cutter specifically made for craft foam; makes cutting waaay easier, lol.

She does!  You should absolutely get her!  And her size is adorable; it's not the typical MSD size, but a baby-sized SD.

@Taxel I'm actually the opposite of you regarding Tenney's lips; I love the dark color!  It makes her brown eyes seem richer.  I think she's on my shopping list next.  I'm planning a trip to Disneyland in May and want to make a trip to the AG store in LA while I'm there.  At least that way I can hunt for the perfect Tenney in person.

Nanea is definitely on my list too; her face is absolutely gorgeous!  Also, I can't help but feel slight obligation to get her since she represents my state, lol. :P

I was so annoyed about Tenney's meet that I missed your post, but I totally get what you mean! I don't even like Idaho but I've been wanting Kaya so bad to "represent" (probably because it drives me nuts when people shoehorn her as a strictly Oregon girl). Photos of her didn't really do it for me, which I found disappointing, and then I saw her in person... now I'm doomed! She's so pretty, and she'd be really fun to take around the state and to places like Grand Teton and Yellowstone.

Tenney wasn't on my list as well, but after seeing owner pics and box openings I'm slowly coming over!  I know I definitely want to get her other outfits and accessories.  She reminds me of Taylor Swift when she was making country music. ^_^  What's stopping me (besides funds) are all the defects people are finding with Tenney; meet outfit cuts like lovesbabysquirmy mentioned, new body with the smooth nylon that apparently has a chance to get picked by velcro, and thinned wigs (although AG has had this happen throughout the years).  There are several threads about Tenney on AGPT.  At least they have a no questions exchange policy, but I don't know about the new body.  I guess you can always buy an older body from the second hand market and switch them out.

Kaya is much more pretty in person!  When AG opened a temporary location in Honolulu to test the market here, I was able to see the Historicals in person.  I even toyed with the idea of getting Kaya and turning her into a Hawaiian girl since she looked the part with her hair down.  Instead, I ended up getting a Sonali from ebay and rewigging her.
