So many dolls!

 Ok, so after such a quiet year, I'm still feeling a wee bit wiped out from Christmas. But I'm developing quite a back log of new dolls, that I'm going to show you quickly now, or I'll never find time. But first a little blah blah blah.

 Christmas was good here. We got to spend the day with family, which was awesome. Some of them, we hadn't seen all year. I guess we're lucky here.

On Boxing Day we did what I think will become tradition. We took the kids shopping to spend their Christmas money. As soon as we got to the shopping centre, the Giant Baby announced he wanted to go to the video game shop. Tiny glared at him and said "Big W!" So we split up. The Giant Husband took the Giant Baby to the game shop, and I took Tiny to Big W.

I asked her what she wanted to look at (secretly hoping she was old enough to get excited about dolls) she shook her head when I suggested toys or books or clothes and said she wanted "Dress ups!" Which as far as Tiny is concerned means jewellery and hair accessories, that I was not allowed to touch or carry for her.

She also chose a baby My Little Pony toy and when we met up with her brother again she shouted "Look! A Baby Pinkie Pie horsie! To me!"

It was really nice watching her. She knew exactly what she wanted. Exactly where to find it. And she did not give two shits what anyone thought.

My current biggest problem is sunburn. I've always burnt easy. But this year I am burning ridiculously easily and worse than usual. Meanwhile I'm having treatment for a melanoma and the last thing I want  to do is show up at the skin cancer specialists with a sunburn! I may just start putting on sunscreen as I get dressed in the morning just so I can't forget.

This is Quick Doll Show! Because I'm tired and sunburnt and fat from Christmas, but if you want to see more of anything here, leave a comment and I'll try to do something more detailed on whichever doll it is.

First is this cute little Betsy McCall, I got off EBay. She's got a gorgeous Irish dancing dress, pointelle stockings and ghillies.

 

I love that she even has the little embroidered cape thing.

Next is this girl

Brenda Starr by Effanbee, obviously when it was ruled by the Tonner Doll Company. She was an EBay find and came nude. I think she has the Tyler body? To be honest I don't know much about grown up dolls, they usually scare me a little. I don't know what I'll do for clothes for her either. I don't have patterns in her size and I don't know how to make a pattern that accommodates boobs. And I have no idea what to make her anyway. But look at this face!

 She's beautiful. I couldn't not buy her.

Next is my new Kurhn. She arrived Christmas Eve and I have not had the time or energy to open her yet.

The rabbit lantern is supposed to actually work, which is cool. RedQPanda threw in a sheet of Kurhn stickers and a branded plastic bag too, which is cool.

I love the mod vibe of that logo! 

This girl from Aliexpress really needs her own post.

She doesn't have a name yet but she has a lot going on.

Extra faces and shoes and hands and horns and clothes and eyes and EVERYTHING. I need to find time to write something.

Finally this arrived today

I cannot resist a good playset. I wanted the supermarket set as well but Kmart is sold out EVERYWHERE and everywhere else charges twice the price. One day.

So that's  my current new arrivals.

Hopefully more soon.
