You guys are amazing and I so appreciate the concern. I never intended to just vanish for like 10+ months on you. Sorry about that. But things have been very busy in my non-doll life!<br />
<br />
I moved twice in two months to two different states. No drama there, we just had to go one place for my husband's training and then on to our new location. Which is amazing! We've always wanted to live where we are now!<br />
<br />
So all my dolls were packed up for months and months. I still don't have everything unpacked. And then something else HUGE happened:<br />
<br />

I had a baby:<br />

Her name is Clementine and she's just a few months old now! She's the most amazing and beautiful thing I've ever seen and even though I'm exhausted, I'm totally in love and I've never been happier.<br />
<br />
In the next few months, (after I get her napping in her crib, she's such a cuddle bug!) as I get my feet under me, I'm hoping to be able to get back to some doll things. I have several projects planned including four new custom dolls!<br />
<br />
In the mean time posts are still slowly going up over at <a href="http://isntshedovely.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Isn't She Dovely</a>, the blog two of my dolls co-write with two of my best friend's dolls. There is also a connected instagram account <a href="https://www.instagram.com/merlinthebird/" target="_blank">here</a>!<br />
<br />
I hope you all are doing well and I hope to see you here again soon! Till next time.

Where have I been?! Well, let's just say I've had a whole lot going on the past two months. Some of it bad, some of it really good but unfortunately I can't share too much yet. I can tell you that I'm moving! We're not quite sure where to yet, but we do know that it's going to be an entirely different state. So I'm trying to get the house organized and go through things.<br />
<br />
Anyway, last time I told you that my brother was visiting. I had a really nice visit with him and now I'm just getting stuff ready to go to Tulsa!! That's right tomorrow I'm visiting my bbf/sister Traci and we are going to an AG store! Super excited! I am going to write at least one blog post on the trip when I get back, but I have a post I want to get up before I go! <br />
<br />
Today is all about Addy's School Outfits:<br />

This post has been a long time coming. I've had Addy's new Beforever school set since a month or two after the launch and have been planning it since then! Shall we get started?<br />
<br />
One thing that used to come with AG outfits (a long time ago) were these little pamphlets. <br />

They gave a little over summary of the book the outfit was associated with and had a few pictures. <br />

You can kind of read it!<br />
<br />
Addy's original school suit was a four piece set. It came with a blouse, jacket, skirt and a medal. I am currently missing the medal. Mostly because I don't want to pay $50 for it on eBay! I will eventually get it though.<br />

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love this jacket. Every part of it is well done and very high quality. I love the point in the back, I love that the sleeves and body are lined with different fabrics and I REALLY just love the over all color. It's an amazing piece. <br />
<br />
The skirt is made of the same blue wool:<br />

It also velcros in the back. (I feel like I say that all the time!)<br />
<br />
My favorite part about the skirt?<br />

It's waistband is lined with the same paisley as the sleeves of the jacket! Such awesome attention to detail.<br />
<br />
It has matching cord trim around the bottom edge and the waist:<br />

I love how bright the shirt looks next to the royal blue of the jacket and skirt!<br />
<br />
Addy looks so polished!<br />

It's truthfully my absolute favorite Addy outfit. And has been since I was little! I don't think the Beforever suit could ever replace this one in my heart BUT it's still really cool so....on to the newer school suit!<br />
<br />
Addy's Beforever school suit is also a 4 piece set. It includes a jacket/shirt combo, a skirt and two combs with velvet bows. Here is the jacket/shirt:<br />

It is all once piece and made of a lighter blue than the original. AG calls it sky blue but it has some greenish/greyish undertones to my eyes.<br />
<br />
It velcros down the back and is unlined:<br />

Though it does have a support for the bow at the collar!<br />
<br />
The sleeves are done very well and do create the illusion that there are two pieces here:<br />

And again the bright white looks nice next to the blue! Addy just looks really good in blue.<br />
<br />
Here you can see the peter pan collar of the "shirt," the pointed collar of the jacket, plus all the trim!<br />

Instead it has elastic at the waist. It also has matching leaf like trim along the bottom! My only complaint about this skirt is that it has an awful lot of blank space. Especially compared to the older skirt. The top has so much going on that looking at the skirt alone is a bit underwhelming. <br />
<br />
However, the bottom of the jacket lays very nicely over the top of the skirt:<br />

The two trims actually lay pretty close together and so the outfit doesn't have that big blank space when on! Which I'm very glad for.<br />
<br />
Finally we have the hair combs!<br />

Here I have them sandwiched between two rope braids. I really feel like these add the only thing that the original school suit is missing: something pretty for the hair! I also really like that they aren't just ribbon this time. I think the combs add a little something special to them. It makes them feel higher quality I suppose? Especially since AG has been putting bows on little scruchies lately. Ew.<br />

Here is Addy in everything: <br />

Of course she looks incredible! The lighter blue looks just as nice as the dark blue and I really like the pointy shoulders of the jacket. Again she looks very polished and ready to win that spelling match!<br />
<br />
So which one is your favorite?<br />

Honestly I love the original the most, but I really love the new suit too. <br />
<br />
Some part of me is sad that the top on the new suit is all on piece. As a girl I love the realism of layering the clothing on my dolls. But I can completely understand how a one piece item is a lot easier for children. I wouldn't say that it takes away from the new suit but I think it does make me realize how special the older one is.<br />
<br />
Other than that small gripe I've got nothing bad to say. The old suit was one of my very first purchases when I started collecting and I had to have the new one as soon as I saw it online. I'm very pleased to have both in my collection and I couldn't just choose one if I tried!<br />

I hope you guys enjoyed a look at these two school suits! They are both really awesome pieces and dang it, I will get the medal someday. Addy needs it!<br />
<br />
Next time is going to be all about my trip! You know I'm going to take a ton of pictures.

After taking a little break (It has been a crazy month, my in-laws came to visit and my brother is visiting and we're doing our first 5k) I'm back and happy to be here! So to get us back up and running today, we are going to talk about two new action figures I've acquired lately.<br />
<br />

Arsenal from Red Hood and the Outlaws and Red Robin from Teen Titans! Traci over at A Wild Review Appears has already talked about both of these action figures. You can read her review of Arsenal <a href="http://awildreviewappears.blogspot.com/2015/02/dc-collectibles-new-52-arsenal.html" target="_blank">here </a>and Red Robin <a href="http://awildreviewappears.blogspot.com/2015/02/dc-collectibles-red-hood-red-robin.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Her reviews are really good and usually I don't like reviewing stuff she's already done (feels redundant) but then I took too many pictures sooooooo here I am!<br />

They are pretty much identical to the box that my <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2014/12/red-hood-action-figure.html" target="_blank">Red Hood </a>action figure came in. Especially this one. It has a window where you can see the figure in the front, the name of whatever comic this particular character is from and the name of the character its self. The back has a short character history plus pictures of all the other action figures for this particular comic. Here we have Arsenal, Starfire and Red Hood.<br />
<br />
Here is a close up of the picture of Roy's face on the back:<br />

Plus his New 52 story.<br />

The two sides of the box are pretty cool too. One side has a nice picture of the action figure.<br />

You can see this group of figures was inspired by Teen Titans. The back shows you the other figures: Wonder Girl, Superboy and Kid Flash.<br />
<br />
These two are totally on my list:<br />

And now we're going to switch it up and start with Tim.<br />
<br />
Both of these figures are very easy to get out of their packaging. <br />

They come in plastic trays that sit in cardboard trays. The cardboard trays just slide right out of the box.<br />
<br />
Tim's plastic trays are a little more involved than Roy's but still very easy to remove things from. He has his wings/cape in one tray and then he's in the other. <br />

The cape popped right out and then, after removing some twist ties, Tim did too!<br />
<br />
Here is Tim without his cape:<br />

I'm honestly pretty impressed by the level of detail. But before we get into that how about some basic info? Tim is 6.7 inches tall. He has 17 points of articulation: head, shoulders, biceps, elbows, rotation in his forearms, hips, knees, rotation at the tops of his boots and lastly his ankles. Once again no waist joint though! <br />
<br />
Starting with his head, Tim has some FAB hair:<br />

He can almost compete with <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2015/01/shiny-dick-kotobukiya-nightwing.html" target="_blank">Shiny Dick's</a>! It's all very well sculpted and I have no paint defects there.<br />
<br />
His face is equally well painted:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I really like the skin tone they used with him. His mask is very nicely done, the paint is sharp and i like how the mask is slightly raised. He also has a subtle shine to his lips.<br />
<br />
Most of my paint defects are on the golden straps on his costume. You can see one near his shoulder on the left side of this picture:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But other than that I'm very impressed with Tim's costume. The red and the black paint is done very well but most importantly the mold is very detailed. You can see ridges were different "fabrics" would meet, every strap is raised slightly, his abs are subtly outlined and (my favorite detail) they molded little folds of "fabric" in.<br />
<br />
I was trying to get a better picture of that here:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You can see "fabric" folds where his chest and shoulder meet and also down on his hip. I just think it adds something to the whole figure when you create the illusion that he's wearing clothing with more than just paint. Very impressed! Also you can see another paint defect on his strap there.<br />
<br />
His back is less detailed:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Though they still threw in some "fabric" folds. Mostly his back is just taken up by the giant hole for his cape to go into! You can see how detailed the pouches on his belt are here too.<br />
<br />
His arms are very detailed and different! His left arm has the Red Robin symbol on his shoulder:<br />

While his left shoulder is blank. Also I think it's neat that his gloves are different. One thing that I didn't manage to get a good picture of is the insides of his arms. He has red patches on his inner biceps.<br />
<br />
If you read my post on my Red Hood figure you will probably remember that I wasn't happy with the articulation. Red Hood had a LOT of stiff joints and some I couldn't even get to work at all. I didn't have this problem at all with Tim. All of his joints worked perfectly straight out of the box. However:<br />

He does have a pretty large gap on the bicep joint of his right arm. It doesn't look like his arm is going to fall off or anything. So I'm really not concerned but since I could get a good picture of it, I had to show you guys!<br />
<br />
Moving on to the lower half, Tim's legs are a little less detailed than his torso but still very nice. He has raised patches on his knees:<br />

And more "fabric" detailing on his hip and the transition between the red and black parts of his costume.<br />
<br />
Here is a close up of some details:<br />

They are grainy, black, almost ankle boots. I think the reason I don't like them very much is that they almost look puffy? Like Timmy is running around fighting crime in Uggs. Roy and Jason both have very sharp looking shoes. These look squishy in comparison, but they do have some nice molding and detail!<br />
<br />
All of the action figures I've gotten in this line so far have come with some kind of accessory. Tim's is his cape/wing thing:<br />

You can see that they are split in the middle. However they don't have any articulation.<br />
<br />
They do have some cool details. Here is a vent and what looks like could be articulation......but isn't!<br />

I also like that you can see the rivets that hold the "feathers" on.<br />
<br />
The inside is less detailed, though on the edges you can still see rivets.<br />

They even slightly overlap each other at points. And the paint job on these things is really nice! No paint defects here.<br />

We call this his Vegas show-girl costume! The cape is pretty heavy, so much so that I sometimes have a hard time getting him to stand on his own. But it looks really nice!<br />

As far as posing with them on goes he can't do a ton.<br />

Ah, the arrow that I lost the day after I took this picture......sigh.<br />
<br />
Roy's box was super rattly when I got it. Didn't see anything loose in there, couldn't figure out why it was so noisy. And then I opened the box, pulled him out and found these:<br />

He says, "A guy gets pretty hungry on a trip like that! I needed snacks!" Roy stands 6.75" tall and has 18 points of articulation. <br />
<br />
Roy's costume is sleeveless and just as detailed as Timmy's. There are lots of raised parts when we're changing "layers" as well as multiple straps.<br />

I really like the molded straps around his shoulders and attached to his torso. They go to his quiver in the back and I love that they added that level of detail to his mold.<br />
<br />
This is probably not going to be the most popular thing I've ever said, BUT one of my very favorite New 52 Roy things is that he always wears a baseball cap. I know, people probably hate it, but I find it really endearing. With that being said...here is his hat:<br />

I can't tell what the logo is supposed to be, but a large part of me hopes it's the Queen Industries (Q-Core?) logo. That would be funny!<br />
<br />
And yes it is articulated! My favorite bit of articulation EVER!<br />

Also here you can see the one real paint defect this figure has. His lenses are either not in right place or they didn't get painted enough. All in all this isn't a terrible defect. In fact I kind of like it because it makes it look like he's doing a bad ass, Clint Eastwood squint. Otherwise his face is very well done. His sideburns have some really nice texture, his lips are well painted and have a touch of shine and I really like how detailed his ears are.<br />
<br />
Here is a close up of his chest:<br />

He has less fabric detailing than Tim but there is still enough to make Roy's costume look like a costume and not paint. Especially around his neck. You can also see the detailing on his belt here.<br />
<br />
Going back the the straps I was talking about earlier, here are some better pictures:<br />

The straps go around each arm, they are thinner in front and get thicker towards the back, and they have visible and raised buckles. I really like how this mold can show multiple layers.<br />
<br />
He's even got straps that go under his arms:<br />

And another set that attach to his ribs. Also more belt pouches!<br />

Which is very large and very full of arrows! These do not come out, the quiver doesn't move but both are painted very nicely and have good details. <br />
<br />
Now to my favorite part of his paint job! His tattoos:<br />

They are surprisingly sharp and well done for such a small thing. He's got a large tattoo on his left arm and two smaller ones on his right. The tattoo on his left arm is painted over a joint and so can look funny when his arm isn't totally straight. But it's so well done that when his arm is in alignment there is no gap in the paint. Another thing I want to talk about here is Roy's skin. Tim's skin was very smooth and without faults, but Roy's is more......dirty? Roy's skin has more texture to it, and it seems that either the plastic has some variant in color or he's been painted with like a watered down brown in some places. You can see it best around the elbow joint of his right arm. It just gives him an over all dusty look. Like he's been in a fight recently.....which is likely!<br />
<br />
Roy has two different hand molds:<br />

I really like the little folds there around his wrist.<br />
<br />
Moving on from his upper body, let's talk about the lower half! I've already talked about his belt and pouches a few times but here are some more pictures:<br />

He's even got one under his quiver! What his upper body lacked in "fabric" detailing his pants make up for. They are heavily wrinkled. I like the realistic bunching on his upper thighs! Also note the crotch lacing. I kind wish they had painted the laces a slightly darker color or something. They're the only part of him that looks kind of half-assed, but I can live with it!<br />
<br />
Roy also has a hip quiver:<br />

Unlike the quiver on his back, this one can be moved slightly. It's attached under his belt with two flexible straps. The quiver itself is nicely detailed. It matches the one on his back and has several pouches. Three in the front and one long on in the back. The arrows do not move but are fairly well painted and look nice.<br />
<br />
Here is the side of his wrinkly pant leg:<br />

The foot part is mostly the same matte maroon as the darker parts of his upper body, but the rest is shiny! They are very structured with a strap around the back of his upper calf.<br />
<br />
And a knee cap thingy that looks like it could break some faces:<br />

Yeah.....I really like his shoes. Also do you see the little folds at his toe? So much awesome detail!!<br />
<br />
Roy comes with a bow and one arrow:<br />

I actually really like that little zig zag there. The string is just a black string tied to the bow through holes in the arrows on the end.<br />
<br />
Here is the arrow:<br />

It's nicely molded and painted like the rest of him, but it also doesn't stay in his hand for crap.<br />
<br />
This is the only way I could get him to hold it:<br />

Also I lost the darn thing the next day. I'm pretty sure it's in my basket by our sewing table, but I don't want to take everything out to look right now...I will eventually!<br />

He's really cool!<br />
<br />
:Like I said earlier these figures can have some really stiff joints. In fact poor Traci broke her Arsenal trying to get one of his arms to move. Luckily my Arsenal's joints worked fine out of the box and with a LOT of gentle wiggling I got my Red Hood's to work too!<br />

If any of you are interested in getting your own figures, they are all still available from Amazon right now. However as New 52 has kind of gone bye-bye, they might not be around for much longer. I would get them while you can!<br />
<br />
I hope you guys enjoyed this very long and very over due post! I'm going to try and get one more out before July is over but my brother is visiting next week and I'm not sure how much computer time I'll have. If I don't make it I'll see you in August!

<br />
You know when I started this blog I never thought I would make it three months let alone two years. I didn't think I'd make it five posts and now we're at 100! It totally blows my mind. I've thought long and hard about how I want to celebrate this milestone. It's a pretty big one for me! And I've decided that today we're just going to take a look back at the last two years. Talk about some stats, talk about the dolls, talk about the projects and at the end I will give you guys a chance to win something pretty cool! But we'll get to that in a moment.<br />

This blog was started as a way to document my collection. I wanted a place where I could have lots of pictures of each item and descriptions so that I could easily look and see what I have. I never intended to try writing real reviews of things but I kind of ended up doing that. (What is a review but showing people something and saying what you think about it?) I just wanted to take pictures and talk a little. Of course it didn't quite turn out that way. I talk a lot! So far I've "reviewed" around 34 outfits. Most recently the AG special edition sets for 2015! I've also reviewed several dolls, fashion dolls, and (something I never saw happening) action figures! I've done a couple of tutorials, I've compared brands of clothing and recently I started getting brave enough to take my dolls out in public and take pictures. Which I've shared with you :)<br />
<br />
But I think the most exciting thing I've done is showing you the processes of making customs! Since starting this blog I've made 7 custom dolls. In fact my very <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2013/06/project-thy-name-is-frustration-part-1.html" target="_blank">second post</a> was the start of making Caroline and Laura! <br />
<br />
Here they were two short years ago:<br />

They were my very first eye swap and it was so hard that I didn't do another one till this year! But before that set of customs I did another. Sam and Jay. <br />
<br />
Sam and Jay were a project for my bestie! I made sure I did NOT have to do an eye-swap with them! And here they were:<br />

Sam was in good condition but he had a lot of ink stains and poor Jay was a hot mess with his missing thumb and smushed face!<br />
<br />
But after a lot of hard work here they are today:<br />

Such handsome boys!<br />
<br />
Doing Traci's boys really made me want to get mine done! Now I had special plans for one of them and that required a brand new doll....but he was worth it! Here are my boys on their first days with me:<br />

They did require an eye-swap but man the second time was MUCH easier. Also during the whole process I discovered that Jeb is a counterfeit AG doll but that just makes me love him more!<br />
<br />
My most recent custom actually isn't finished yet! She belongs to my bff and her name is Ilona:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There is her before and there she is today! Hopefully she'll be back at the end of the summer or so to get her new eyes. (Pictures of Laura, Sam, Jay and Ilona are used with permission from their owner <a href="http://awildreviewappears.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Traci</a>. Also looking at all those old pictures I think my photography has gotten A LOT better. Go me!) <br />
<br />
Along with customs I've done several restorations over the last two years. This baby Crissy was a Christmas gift for my mother:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She didn't need too much done but a cleaning and a good hair brushing! It took me at least an hour and two broken brushes but it was all worth it because she looked amazing when she was done:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My mom loved her!<br />
<br />
My next restoration was all about a white-bodied Molly. I didn't have any white-bodied dolls and I really wanted one to round out my collection. Of course the one I got was a bit of a disaster:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Her face was deformed as was one of her legs and she was filthy. About the only thing she had going for her was that she didn't have silver eye! But after a lot of hard work here she is today:<br />

Chilling out in her blue jammies!<br />
<br />
Most recently I did a restoration for Traci. Her Lissie was in desperate need of a new wig! Here she is the day I got her in the mail:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She got a new wig, her lips repainted and freshly tightened limbs! This really is still my favorite kind of work to do with the dolls. I love taking a doll that needs TLC and giving it new life!<br />
<br />
I haven't just been making customs and restoring dolls here though! I've also been checking out different brands. I've added three doll brands to my collection the last two years!<br />
<br />
First was Carpatina's Kohanna:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've been working on new hair styles recently and I'm pretty proud of this one!<br />
<br />
There have also been a few new AG's! Ivy was purchased on a trip with my mom to St. Louis in 2013.<br />

She and her cousin Callie are running their own blog now. It's called <a href="http://isntshedovely.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Isn't She Dovely?</a> and it's pretty much just a fun mix of crafts and general silliness!<br />

I'll be going on a trip in August and will probably be bringing another girl back then so our AG collecting days are far from over! <br />
<br />
Hmmm, what else have I done? Well I did that <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2013/09/dressing-your-doll-on-dime-part-one-our.html" target="_blank">brand comparison</a> I mentioned earlier, made hats, made a <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2014/05/mermaid-doll-making-kit-by-4m_18.html" target="_blank">mermaid rag doll</a> and learned how to make shoes and did a tutorial. In fact the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8162094116089514083#editor/target=post;postID=2933446788608949676;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=50;src=postname" target="_blank">first post </a>of that three part tutorial is my highest viewed post ever! The other two posts in the top three are <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2013/12/come-meet-kohanna.html" target="_blank">Come Meet Kohanna</a> and<a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2014/01/extra-special-grace.html" target="_blank"> Extra Special Grace</a>. My least viewed post is actually my very <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2013/06/i-must-be-crazy.html" target="_blank">first one</a>! Which isn't surprising at all; first posts are usually super lame. Mine is especially lame!<br />
<br />
Here are some more interesting facts. My audience primarily comes from the US, Canada, and the UK. Which makes perfect sense, though I've also has visitors from Australia and as far away as Russia. Most of you use Safari and yet most of you are on Windows. Most of you are coming from our overlord the Google. And the search phrase that most often leads to my blog is just the name of the blog!<br />
<br />
Speaking of the name, Up to My Eyeballs in Dolls was picked because it made me giggle. It still does! I was talking to my mom about starting the blog and she was helping me brainstorm names. We kept coming up with things like Lace and Lovelies or the Vinyl Life. Things that would probably get me a WHOLE different kind of viewer and finally it just kind of came to me. Up to My Eyeballs in Dolls. I still think it's an absolutely ridiculous name but then again it suits me!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So what is next for this little blog? More clothing reviews, of course, I have most of Caroline's clothes to review and the new doll I mentioned somewhere up there. We've also got a couple of planned customs and some new action figures. Maybe I'll get around to finishing that never published post that got me into so much trouble last week! Is there anything you guys would like to see? Let me know! But I think we're just going to keep swimming. I still haven't lost the love of doing posts and taking pictures so I think we'll easily make it to three years!</div>

DA-TA! (If you're never read Tyra Banks' novel. Find it. Read it. That reference is hilarious!) Yay! We're so excited!<br />
<br />
Now keep in mind this Surfs Up! Batman is new in the box but the box is no where near mint. Unfortunately this box, while super cool, doesn't hold up to packaging and shelf wear well. <br />

As I was looking for blog stats to talk about in my 100th post I discovered something. It turns out that I accidentally counted a post I've never published! So this is my actual 99th published post and NEXT time will be 100 where we do our super cool give away. I'm super awesome! And yeah I know that nobody will really care if I'm one off but I care!! Dang it. So for our actual 99th post I'm going to be lame and just talk. If you aren't interested in a post with very few pictures and lots of talking then come back for my next post! I totally understand and the next one will be picture heavy and super fun!<br />

I guess today I just want to talk about collecting as a hobby. I have a long and varied history of collecting things. I used to collect rocks when I was little. I also had a pretty large collection of My Little Ponies and a small collection of Breyer horses. After the ponies I moved on to Elmo things and keychains even though I was 13 and too old for Elmo but too young to actually have keys for keychains. Then I collected white tiger things. I mean I had white tiger everthing! I had stuffed animals and pictures and little statues! It was crazy.<br />
<br />
Also around that time I collected nice angel statues. That was during my super Christian period! After that I collected gargoyles! I actually still have all of those.<br />
<br />

He is my favorite one and he's actually sitting on my mantel right now! Watching over my living room.<br />
<br />
And then through college and my early 20's I collected weird rubber ducks. My favorite is always my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007WU2RW/?tag=akeyuk-20" target="_blank">dead duck</a>. I kind of still collect them but I have a ton and they're not really being displayed right now. So I haven't picked any new ones up in a while! I even had rubber ducks on my wedding cake:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Other than the ducks I currently have two big (and active) collections! One of them is my comic collection. Right now I'm only collecting current issues but will probably be switching over to trade paperbacks in the next year or so because I'm totally running out of room. I do have a large collection of Nightcrawler-centric back issues but I've stopped getting those for the time being also because of (again) space issues. I need a bigger house!<br />
<br />
And finally this leads me to the biggest and most relative collection. My dolls! <br />
<br />
Now I have been collecting dolls in some form or another most of my life. My mother collected dolls when she was growing up. Unfortunately she doesn't have any of them left. She very kindly gave them away to a little girl she knew along time ago :) But I've been slowly giving her some of her childhood dolls back the last few years. So far I've gotten her a Ms. Beasley, a <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/search/label/baby%20crissy" target="_blank">Baby Crissy</a>, and last Christmas I got her a Velvet doll! My point here is that really you could say all of this (the dolls, the blog, the doll room!) is my mothers fault! Totally.<br />
<br />
The first doll collection I think I had was a large collection of Cabbage Patch Kids. I had tons of them. Big ones, boys, girls, babies that smelled like powder; I even had that horse with the hair you could crimp? That thing sells for SO much on eBay now and I totally wish I had held on to it! Sadly, I only have a couple of the Cabbage Patch Kids left now.<br />
<br />
My first one is in storage at the moment but this one:<br />

Is Zara Genevieve! I actually still remember the day I got her. She was a gift from my grandparents and after I picked her out I took her to their house so they could meet her! She came with a mail order thing to send in for a personalized book. I still have the book too, it's floating around in my bookcases right now. I was amazed at that age to have a book with my name in it!<br />
<br />
When I was older my mother started buying me porcelain dolls. I got one every year for Christmas till I was well into college! I have a few still but they're mostly in storage. My all time favorite will probably show up here in the near future though. She's a bit of a mess and I'm planning on restoring her this year. I don't want to tell you too much about her yet but I will say that her name is Claudia and she's named after one of my all time favorite book characters!<br />

I do have a small collection of little dolls right now. Mostly Bratzillaz and my <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2013/11/fairies-of-cottingley-glen-hob.html" target="_blank">fairy dolls!</a> But the majority of my current doll collection is made up of American Girls/18-ish inch dolls. I won't really go into how I got started collecting these kinds of dolls right now but if you're curious and haven't read it before I talk a lot about the beginnings of my AG love affair <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2013/11/lets-talk-about-marta-part-one.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
As an AG collector I mostly focus on dolls and clothes. I don't really have the room for furniture and I'd rather have more outfits anyway. In fact my girls and guys are SUCH clothes horses. I'm pretty sure they have better wardrobes than I do. Right now my the focus of my collection is on the clothes and not getting more dolls. For a long time it was doing customs and repair work, which I'm still doing, but I'm running out of space for everything (how many times have I said that this post?) and I really feel like I need to take care of what I already have! I say that but there will be a doll coming home in August. I can't wait for her! <br />
<br />
I think there will always be a part of me that wants more dolls but I'm pretty content right now. I doubt the wanting more clothes thing will ever go away. I love dressing them! I've been collecting for a little over 4 years now and I really don't see me putting them away anytime soon. I'm lucky that I have a very supportive family and husband who don't really find this strange. <br />
<br />
And I'm going to wrap this up here! If you've gotten this far in my rambling thank you for sticking with me. I promise that my next post is being worked on quickly and should be out sometime late this week. I'm very excited and also a little nervous about the give away but it should be fun! Till then :)MCooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09786051432479756282noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162094116089514083.post-43825020471889773532015-06-04T13:54:00.000-05:002015-06-04T13:54:19.529-05:00Kit's Chicken Keeping Set and an Exciting Annoucement!The hubby and I took a little trip to Nashville over Memorial Day weekend and one of the places we went was the Hermitage. The Hermitage is President Andrew Jackson's former home and while I'm not a huge fan of the man; his home and the museum on the grounds are very interesting! They still have his wife's favorite wall paper on the walls of the home and it's in remarkable condition. Speaking of his wife (her name was Rachel) my favorite part was getting to walk in her garden. Here is one of the best pictures I took:<br />

It is a very traditional English square garden and Rachel would walk in it everyday as well as grow herbs for some of her health problems! Another interesting thing about Rachel is that she was very attached to all her fowl and worried about them when she was gone. Which leads us right into what we're talking about today: Kit's Chicken Keeping Set!<br />

Kit thinks I'm a dork.<br />
<br />
This is the last special edition set I'll be looking at this year (Unless I magically end up with Samantha's) and it's stinking adorable! Here is everything you get:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Button down shirt, overalls, headband, shoes and a chicken!<br />
<br />
The shirt is a short sleeve and cotton, with three pink buttons down the front:<br />

Of course the buttons are non-functional and the shirt closes with a stripe of velcro behind them!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is the back:<br />

I really love this print! It's bright peachy pink and it looks really nice with Kit's hair. So far I am loving all the bright Beforever things!<br />
<br />
It's a fairly simple shirt but it does have one neat design element:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've looked high and low and can't figure out what kind of collar this is but I really like the double points! It makes this shirt something a little special.<br />
<br />
My favorite part of this whole outfit though, are the overalls:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They have a sweetheart neckline and a fitted band around the waist.<br />
<br />
They also have two functional, pink buttons in the front:<br />

<br />
Now is the part where I tell you an amusing but slightly embarrassing story! If you look up and the first pictures of the overalls that is the way they came out of the box; with the straps NOT crossed. So that's the way I put them on her! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was so disappointed to see that the straps were weirdly HUGE. They stuck way far out and I couldn't figure out why. I eventually kind of tucked them in and took pictures and it still looked super cute but I was sad and kind of irritated. I mean this was NOT a cheap set and the straps don't fit right?! Yeah......it wasn't until I was getting ready to write this post and went to read AG's description (kind of helps me figure out some of what I want to say) that I saw this <a href="http://www.americangirl.com/shop/kit-view-all/kits-chicken-keeping-set-chg84" target="_blank">"Blue checked overalls with a shaped waistband and crisscross straps with pink button."</a> <b>Crisscross Straps</b>...Oh...... <br />

Yeah, not even going to try and defend that one....Anyway! You can also see the fitted waistband I was talking about here!<br />

I really like this one. Kit for some reason gets A LOT of headbands and I've always found her hair difficult to make look good with one. But this one was pretty easy to get in and I like the pointy bow. It looks like Kit just quickly tied it in to get her hair out of the way!<br />
<br />

I really really like this outfit! <br />

Of course all special editions come with some kind of accessory or accessories. Kit gets a chicken:<br />

It is made out of tan plush and has a red face, comb and wattle, embroidered eyes and a weighted bottom.<br />

It looks a lot like a <a href="https://www.meyerhatchery.com/productinfo.a5w?prodID=BUOS" target="_blank">Buff Orpington</a>. Which is a good breed for kids because they are friendly and not very aggressive! I think it's adorable.<br />

Hold on tight Kit!<br />
<br />
Over all (see what I did there?) I really love this set. I love the construction of the overalls. The way that the waistband mirrors the neck line and all the buttons are just lovely little details that AG does really well. I'm also very happy that she got pants! It's nice to have something a little different. I really like the shirt with it's bright pattern and double pointed collar (though I wish I could find what that was really called!) and the matching headband is really cute too!<br />
<br />
The shoes are basic and very sturdy looking which I like and they have some nice detail on the toes and heels too. And of course the chicken is adorable. As far as accessories go though, it's probably my least favorite this year. Kaya got that amazing shawl and Addy got the sewing accessories which I can see being used in a lot of ways for play and pictures. But the chicken just kind of sits there. It's adorable but not my favorite. That's the only criticism I have! The chicken is vaguely useless. I would say that says some pretty good things about this set!<br />
<br />
Here is one more pretty picture of Kit: <br />

And now for some exciting news:<br />
This is my 99th post! Which means that our next one is a pretty big deal. Plus June 19th is our 2 year blog anniversary. So I'm thinking we're going to combine the celebrations and do something extra special! What is it?! A give away!! But you'll have to comeback next time to see what it is! Till then!

I had so much fun! I never take my dolls out in public without a friend so it's always a treat. And I love hanging out with Beth :) She just started her own <a href="http://dolltraume.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog </a>if you're interesting in seeing her pictures. I hope you guys enjoyed all of mine! I'm still working on my last special edition review so that should be up soon!

Now I've made three for her I believe but each one was based off of a already existing character. SO for the first time ever I'm making her a custom that she has created all on her own. Very exciting! And this is the start:<br />

Meet one very beat up former Kaya we are going to call Lady I for now!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Traci is at least her third owner. Owner number two did quite a bit of cleaning and repair on this poor girl but they decided (very understandably) it was still too much work and so here we are!<br />
<br />
First things first! Her wig is just shredded despite the good de-tangling it got before it came to my friend.<br />

I was going to try and mess with it and see if I could salvage it for someone else, but it's probably just going into the trash. Which I feel really bad about because I know brushing it out was probably a massive pain. My Kaya had hair nearly that bad when I got her and it took me about two hours and a broken brush just to get it untangled. <br />
<br />
But a shredded wig is the least of Lady I's problems! One of her eyes sticks: <br />

This is a problem we're going to work on later. I'll explain why at the end!<br />
<br />
She's also covered in marks, scratches, shiny spots and dirt. Her face got it pretty bad:<br />

There are a few ink spots on her arms but mostly it's just scuffs and scrapes.<br />
<br />
Her legs are probably worse than her arms:<br />

As bad as her arms and legs were she was still very tightly strung so that was a plus!<br />
<br />
Until I got a look at her back:<br />

Yeah, that was going to have to be washed. <br />
<br />
Let's make a list because at this point even I'm a little overwhelmed by the number of issues!<br />
<br />
<u>Lady I needs:</u><br />
<ol>
<li>A New Wig</li>
<li>Vinyl Washing</li>
<li>Body Washing</li>
<li> Re-Stringing</li>
<li>Scratch and Mark Removal</li>
<li>Ink Spot Removal </li>
<li>Something To Do With Her Eyes?</li>
</ol>
Oh boy! You know I love a challenge so, first thing first she got her wig removed: <br />

And her newly bald head was covered with the traditional pink beanie of awesome.<br />
<br />
Then I took her apart and threw her body in the washing machine! While it was getting clean I mixed up a baking soda paste and tackled her limbs and head:<br />

</tbody></table>
It's not the best picture since it was in my kitchen but you can see the difference a little baking soda makes! It gets rid of any oils and dirt. Plus the vinyl always feels really nice afterwards!<br />
<br />
For her scratches and shiny spots I knew I was going to need to pull out some big guns. So I ordered mirco mesh. This is my first time using it and I had no idea what I would need so I ordered 4,000, 8,000, and 12,000 grit. I've used fine grit sandpaper before but nothing this fine! The 12,000 grit feels totally smooth to the touch. Pretty neat! <br />
<br />
Now if I tried to show you the process of removing all these marks I think this post would be long even for me. And I know I'm long-winded! So I picked the two that I got the best starting pictures of. The first one was on her cheek:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You can see it pretty clearly here because I managed to catch it in the light. If you scroll back up to the third close up of her face you can actually see this scratch without light. It's under that one hair that's hovering above her cheek. <br />
<br />
Here is the scratch after a little work:<br />

It's still slightly visible if you shine a light directly on it but it's nearly invisible otherwise!<br />
<br />
Here is another nasty one on her leg: <br />

And here is the same spot cleaned up:<br />

I actually ended up using some of my fine grit normal sandpaper on it
first and then smoothed that out with the micro mesh. I started with the
4,000 and worked my way up. I'm honestly pretty pleased with the results. I wouldn't say that all of the scratches are gone but I would say that everything has been reduced by 90%. Give or take! She'll never look brand new again but she does look much, much better!<br />
<br />
With her limbs cleaned up and her body dry it was time to restring her! Lady I isn't mine so you don't get to see the guts but you can see how clean her body got:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Much better! Honestly I hate re-stuffing the most but man washing a body in the washing machine works miracles sometimes. Worth it! Then it was time to put on her new wig!<br />
<br />
And that is where we are going to end this project for now! In fact Lady I is in a box and will be on her way home Monday morning. But wait! We only got 1-5 done! What about 6 and 7? Well I decided that since I've had her for a while (I had to wait for tools!) and the ink spots are small we'll wait till she comes back to take care of that. And why is she coming back?! Why, for an eye swap of course!<br />
<br />
Lady I is getting a brand new pair of eyes later this summer/maybe in the fall, but her person hasn't decided what she wants yet! For now she's heading home to rest and relax and enjoy her fab new hair. So we're leaving the sticky eye! But don't worry she still looks amazing:<br />

You didn't think I would end this without giving you a little peek did you? Of course not ;)<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed this project so far! It's a little different from what we normally do but I'm really excited that she's coming back for more work. Next time we're going to do our last special edition clothing review and then I have something fun and exciting to share! Till then!

I've been busy getting ready for my first 5K which is CRAZY. It's also in July. I'm also waiting on a few doll related things to arrive. I do have a new project started which you guys will see very soon. But today we're continuing with this year's special edition sets (at least the ones I like) and next up is Addy's Dress and Sewing Set:<br />

This set includes the dress, a pinafore, white socks, boots, a measuring tape, scissors and a pincushion. <br />
<br />
Here is the front:<br />

And back of the dress. It's unlined and closes with velcro down the back.<br />
<br />It's a fairly simple looking dress but the colors look gorgeous on Addy. Here she is in just the dress:<br />

It has a gathered bodice:<br />

And a nice wide waistband. It reminds me a bit of her <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2014/04/addys-blue-dress.html" target="_blank">Blue Dress</a> in silhouette but it's not as fancy.<br />
<br />
Of course it doesn't need to be! It comes with this fancy pinafore:<br />

There is the front and the back.<br />
<br />
It has two working pockets that are very nicely reinforced on the back:<br />

One thing I love about this pinafore is that it ties instead of velcroes. That's a dash of realism that I love. My other favorite thing about this pinafore is that it has nice wide shoulder straps. They look adorable with the sleeves of her dress popping out under them. <br />
<br />
The socks are just plain white, knit socks:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They're very similar to her new meet socks. Aka: nothing special and they'll probably end up in a communal pile.<br />
<br />
The boots are made of white canvas:<br />

They have shiny black toes and a lace on the side. Unfortunately this is not a real lace and the shoes velcro up the back.<br />
<br />
I decided to compare these new shoes with <a href="http://americangirl.wikia.com/wiki/Lace-Up_Boots" target="_blank">Addy's Lace-Up Boots</a>.<br />

They were only retired last year but it's very easy to see the decline in quality between the two.<br />
<br />
The new boots don't even have eyelets for the laces to go through.<br />

Here is a close up of the eyelets and the laces of the older boots.<br />

The new boots are well constructed and made out of very similar materials. When I say there is a decline in the quality I don't mean in construction but more in design. I also understand that tying small laces is hard for little fingers and that velcro is much easier for children. However, the new boots are missing a certain realism that you get from having actual ties on these shoes. It's a realism that I would have preferred as a child. Addy is wearing the new boots right now but after this they will probably be stuck in her box never to be used again. I have better ones!<br />
<br />
Moving on to the sewing accessories; we'll start with the pincushion:<br />

It's in the shape of a bird, sitting on a cushion with a cream, plastic base. The bird and cushion parts are flocked in purple with blue and green swirls on the wings of the bird. It also has two silver, plastic "pins" set under the bird.<br />
<br />
On the AG website it says that Addy can hold this pincushion. <br />

But I was only able to achieve that goal with the aid of clear rubber bands. Still it looks very cute in her hand!<br />
<br />
She also gets a small measuring tape:<br />

It's made out of a yellow ribbon and has brown plastic ends. It's very cute and I love the font they used for the numbers!<br />
<br />
And finally we are at the scissors:<br />

They are grey, molded plastic and they actually to open and close!<br />
<br />
With some fiddling and some trial and error I got Addy to hold them:<br />

All by herself even! These might be my favorite accessory in this set. I like the pointed handles and the molded details and the fact that they open and close! My one complaint is that they feel a bit flimsy and I'm not too sure how they would hold up against a kid. But otherwise? Love them!<br />
<br />
I also love that the scissors and tape measure easily fit into a pocket:<br />

One of these days I'll do more pictures of her!<br />
<br />
And that's about it. Final thoughts? Well I love the dress and the pinafore. The dress has gorgeous colors that look amazing on Addy and the simplicity of the design ensure that the pattern isn't fighting with the dress for supremacy. Or with the pinafore! That pinafore might be one of my favorite ones ever. The ribbons, the wide straps and the pockets make this my favorite piece of the whole set. The socks and boots I can pretty much live without. Especially after Kaya's amazing boots, I find Addy's very disappointing. However the accessories are amazing, well made and adorable! I especially love how things look in her pockets.<br />
<br />
This is a set I am pleased to have in my collection. Even with the boots of disappointment, I'm still thrilled. And I just love the way it all looks on her. Of course Addy looks good in just about anything!<br />
I hope you guys enjoyed this look at Addy's new sewing dress. Next time I'll be showing you my newest project and then we have one more special edition set to get through!

I frequent a <a href="http://w11.zetaboards.com/agcollectors/index/" target="_blank">doll collecting forum</a> and a month or so ago I found out that another member and I live pretty close to each other. So we decided we should do a meet up and she suggested this place:<br />

It was amazing!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>It's a 20 acre botanical garden/museum and it has lots on neat little alcoves and corners!<br />

And a cannon!<br />
<br />
This is the first building we saw. I think it used to be the museum but my friend told me they recently sold off a bunch of stuff. I'm not sure what to call it now!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It still has an old fire truck in it but I didn't go in for some reason. I guess I'll have to do that next time! To the left of the museum building you can see an orange grate.<br />
<br />
That is the old jail? Probably had a building around it at some point but of course my resident bad-ass had to get some pictures in it:<br />

<br />
Then we went to the daffodil fields. Wikipedia says they have around 300 varsities? Pretty cool if you ask me!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Daken and Melly had to get a best friend shot in! No he's not crying manly tears :p The ground was soft and it was difficult to get them both to stand. So they ended up falling over and I didn't get his nose totally dried off!<br />
<br />
And then we tried very hard to get a group shot of everyone we brought:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

From left to right is Wrennie, Daken, Melody (all mine) Laura, Zia and Anne (my friend's) and then my Ameila is sitting in the front! <br />
<br />
Next we went to a boxcar and caboose set up:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This would be the only picture she kept her hat on for!<br />
<br />
Then we set up a little table and these three had an Easter treat:<br />

She's based off of Laura Ingalls Wilder and my friend made her dress! Isn't she lovely?<br />
<br />
Anne and Daken decided to have a picture in front of the door:<br />

Melly is holding Harry Potter for her big brother Sam of course. Amelia makes me want to get some because look at how well she poses with it! Yeah I think I need some mini books.<br />

Zia and Wrennie shared a stair:<br />

I'm not sure if they are actual graves LMAO<br />

They are pretty worn and it's hard to read them but we managed to make out a few words:<br />

Next time I think we're going to bring things to make grave rubbings and see if we can make anything out a bit better!<br />
<br />
We also found this neat old sign for a school:<br />

Unfortunately a lot of these things are deteriorating but you could see some machinery and whatnot on the inside!<br />
<br />
Close to the power plant was this cast iron bench.<br />

And right next to it was a little yard with this neat school sign: <br />

<br />
Laura also found a tree to climb: <br />

You can practically hear Mary telling her how unladylike that is!<br />
<br />
It started looking like it might rain so we headed to the house. You can't go inside but we did peek through the door there and it's pretty neat inside. My friend said it looked very well loved and worn. She's right it did and I would love to explore it!<br />
<br />

The real reason we came back to the house was to use the front porch! We got a pretty darn successful group picture:<br />

Daken either looks thrilled or like OMG SO MANY GIRLS!!<br />

Isn't it amazing? I changed her and took her picture as soon as I got home! I feel so special :)<br />
<br />
I had such a good day and I'm really happy to have a new friend. Especially a doll friend! Wrennie did a post all about her day <a href="http://isntshedovely.blogspot.com/2015/04/play-date-in-garden.html" target="_blank">here</a>. It's filled with a lot of pictures I didn't share on this post so go read it if you're interested in seeing more! I hope you guys enjoy this picture filled post and next time we really will be talking about another special edition set! Till then :) <br />

It was one of the two Christmas dresses for 2014 and it's currently on sale for $14. I got it because I knew it would be perfect for the doll I'm planning on buying in August, but since I suck at waiting I'm going to show it to you now.<br />

And back. It closes with velcro at the back of course. They used the nice snag resistant kind!<br />
<br />
The bodice is covered (front and back) in silver sequins.<br />

It has silver, satin ribbon straps (one of mine is a little snagged already) and a matching bow.<br />

I was fairly worried about the sequins falling off, but so far I've only lost one:<br />

I wonder if the sequins are why these dresses are still around. They are sewn on using a clear or grey thread (hard to tell with all the sparkle) and seem fairly well stuck on but I'm not sure how well they would hold up to normal play. I think this is definitely an outfit that requires some adult supervision.<br />
<br />
The skirt is made out of a matte grey chiffon.<br />

I really enjoy the contrast of the matte grey and the shiny dots. I honestly wish the dress was all like this instead of the sequins on top. The dots are printed on which made me wonder about how long they would stay on. So I spent sometime trying to mess one up and couldn't do it! They seem pretty durable surprisingly. <br />
<br />
The shoes are silver glitter ballet flats with grey bows:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEbSWLNMWKz0PSv4R-E-Bin_R94LlZM_2fZdjVndtJ8Ll-75jjbjmiyBG4G2DHAg-Rt9j1r0n0ZEf1cpDacvWVPIbny3cIWFxazNIgzm7MhyEZjmXYMgdvznEi_W7ZfzANjWMIX_qTN8s/s1600/20150330_113512_Richtone(HDR).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEbSWLNMWKz0PSv4R-E-Bin_R94LlZM_2fZdjVndtJ8Ll-75jjbjmiyBG4G2DHAg-Rt9j1r0n0ZEf1cpDacvWVPIbny3cIWFxazNIgzm7MhyEZjmXYMgdvznEi_W7ZfzANjWMIX_qTN8s/s1600/20150330_113512_Richtone(HDR).jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a> They are actually one of my favorite part of this outfit! I don't know why but I love the look of the glitter; plus they slip on and off easily. <br />
<br />
Here is a close up of the glitter:<br />

They look like they would be really chunky and rough but actually these shoes are perfectly smooth. The bow is just well attached and provides a nice contrast. AG has been doing a lot of ballet flats lately, (Way too many in fact. There are other types of shoes!) but I actually really like these. Probably my favorites right now!<br />
<br />
And finally here is the headband: <br />

It's covered in grey satin, it has a GIANT TAG, and!<br />
<br />
A sparkly bow:<br />

As far as headbands go it's nice. It sits well in her hair and is easy to get on. And I do have to admit they made the giant tag pretty easy to get off this time!<br />
<br />
Now since I don't actually have who this dress belongs to yet her sister, Wrennie, is going to model! And here it is on her:<br />

Oh so pretty! It does hit her a little above the knee and I love the way it poofs out away from her body. <br />

I, for the most part, really like this dress. There are a few things I'm not fond of. Mostly the sequins! They tend not on lie flat around the edges and clutter up the neck line and they are a bit busy in person. But at the same time, looking at the pictures of Wrennie, I think they look amazing. I'm also not terribly fond of that giant bow.<br />
<br />
Other than those two things I'm really happy! I love the skirt, I love the shoes to death, and I think the headband looks nice. I especially love this whole outfit when I remember it only cost me 14 bucks. And it's absolutely perfect for Wrennie's little sister. I can't wait to get her and put this on her! <br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed this look at the Silver Shimmer Dress. Next time we're going to look at another special edition outfit. I hope it lives up to Kaya's!

No ripping, tearing or cutting needed to get anything out! This set was a little harder to get back together but for the most part I've found that these sets go back in the packaging for storage really easily! Something I always appreciate. <br />
<br />
This set includes a woven headband, two woven plaques and two long, yellow, satin ribbons:<br />

They're kind of squishy? At first I thought that the plaques were just printed but upon further
investigation each plaque seem to be two woven pieces sewn together. That's probably why they feel a bit pillow like. The ribbons are long and firmly attached. My only complaint IS THE GIANT TAG.<br />
<br />
The headband is one long piece with two white ribbons sewn onto the end.<br />

Unlike the plaques, this is not double sided so it's thinner and also if I flipped it around you could see how it was woven. AND THE GIANT TAG. Seriously AG. Either come design a small tag for hair items or STOP putting them on all together. I'm getting tired of removing them.<br />
<br />
Thankfully there is no tag on the ribbons! <br />

They are just two, very long yellow satin ribbons. And they are also the whole reason I bought this set.<br />
<br />
I thought they would look nice with this: <br />

Squee! This is Kaya's Modern Fancy Shawl Outfit. It's one of the special edition sets for 2015 and was also part of the sale. I had to get it. I pretty much fell in love the moment I saw the color. Not to mention the shawl, the boots and all the embroidery! It's a five part set. So let's start at her head and work our way down!<br />
<br />
This is the hairpiece: <br />

It's a woven patch, covering three feathers and is on a comb. It slides into her hair easily and stays put. I'm not quite sure which direction the patch is supposed to face (out or towards her hair) but I put it this way so that the decoration was easily visible. Makes sense to me but I'm probably wrong ;)<br />

Here is the dress: <br />

It's made of a rich, red satin and is decorated with yellow and white stain ribbons along the bottom. It's not lined (doesn't need to be) but it does have the nice no-snag velcro. Thank goodness. I did actually try to snag it a little bit but really couldn't manage it. I would say older children still need to be careful but it's not as snag prone as the <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2014/07/fancy-dress-and-fairy-costume.html" target="_blank">Fairy Dress</a> for the New Orleans girls!<br />
<br />
Over the dress goes this:<br />

It's a faux-leather shoulder drape. It's embroidered on the front and decorated with a patterned ribbon.<br />
<br />
Here is the inside:<br />

It has two red satin ribbons to help keep it in place around her waist.<br />
<br />
The neckline and bottom edge are unfinished but I believe that was intentional. It makes the whole thing look a bit more handmade.<br />

You can also see the embroidery and the decorative ribbons a bit better here.<br />
<br />
My one and only true complaint with this set is that this shoulder-drape tends to ride up. I think it needed another set of ribbons closer to her arm pit? I spent a good portion of the photo shoot tugging it back into place. One thing that I really like about this piece is that they also used the no-snag velcro on it too! I thought that was a nice touch since this piece goes over the nice, catch-able, satin dress.<br />
<br />
This set also comes with a pair of matching, faux-leather, embroidered boots:<br />

The bottom of the upper is edged with the same patterned ribbon.<br />
<br />
The bottom of one has the American Girl logo pressed into it:<br />

They look amazing on!<br />

The boots go up to just a little under her knee and are very easy to get on. They are soft-soled. She seems like she would stand fairly well in them, but my Kaya is older and a bit on the looser limbed side. I think a newer doll would have no trouble. And of course they velcro up the back for ease of use.<br />
<br />
<br />
The final (and best) piece in this set is the shawl:<br />

It's heavily embroidered, red satin with fringe on three sides. It also has a decorative ribbon trim on the two short sides.<br />
<br />
The shawl has thumb loops on the upper two corners:<br />

It can be a bit tricky to get on Kaya. She does have to have her arms up
and spread a bit for the shawl to reach both of her thumbs. It also
tends to catch a bit on the back of her shoulder drape but that doesn't
seem to do any damage. Just something to watch out for!<br />

I love how rich the red of the dress and shawl look next to her skin and hair. The white of the faux-leather really makes all the embroidery pop too. One thing I really like about this set is how there seems to be very little scrimping on anything. The fringe is thick and heavy and the decorative ribbon is pretty much everywhere they could put it. I especially like the ribbon around the bottoms of her boots and the edges of her shawl. The materials that everything is made out of feel so nice and it's all constructed so well. I'm honestly pretty impressed!<br />
<br />
I am really glad I got the hair set for the ribbons though.<br />

I understand that this set comes with a hair piece but I think that the ribbons just add a little something extra that the outfit was missing. <br />

Basically I couldn't stop taking pictures for the post. I think I took

I think she had a good time! <br />

I can't blame you Kirsten! Kaya looks AMAZING!<br />
<br />
I think it's pretty easy to tell how much I love this set. I have a few concerns but not many. Mostly I wish that they had used anything but white on the bottoms of her boots. There is a reason all the pictures are inside this time and that's it! I worry about the white eventually looking dirty. I'm also a little worried about dye transfer. Hopefully that won't be an issue but if it leaves marks on her skin I'll be sure to let you guys know. Of course I already talked about the shawl being a little hard to get on and the inability of the shoulder drape to stay put. You can see I already need to tug it back down in the picture above!<br />
<br />
Other than those few things, this set is perfect! The colors, all the little details of the ribbon and the embroidery, the quality of the materials. It all adds up to one gorgeous outfit. I actually almost got the pink set from last year instead of this and man I'm glad I didn't! Though I do still want that now that it's a more reasonable price.<br />
<br />
I think AG figured out some things after last year's special additions. 1. 64 bucks is WAY too high even with an accessory. and 2. Concentrate on the clothes. Each of the special editions this year seem to be higher in quality and much more reasonable in price. I know a lot of people don't like special editions but I don't mind them. I especially don't mind paying $48 for something this nice. With the sale price I was even happier! So A+ this time around AG!<br />
<br />
I also really like the hair set. I've always like their hair ribbon sets and these new sets are even better in my book. They have a nice variety of clips, barrettes, ribbons and other things. My girls always need more hair bling! <br />
<br />
I hope you all enjoyed this look at Kaya's hair set and fancy shawl outfit! Till next time when we talk about more of the things I got!<br />
<br />

My sister picked it up for me when she went to St. Louis like last summer? I've actually had pictures for this review for at least three months but I am lame and hadn't gotten around to it....Sorry! But as this set is currently being offered as a special (You can get it for $14 when you spend $50 right now. And I did check before I posted this to make sure it's still going today!) I thought now would be a good time to do it! So let's get this party started!<br />

It includes a leotard, slippers, a scrunchie, a silver medal and a certificate.<br />

The leotard is magenta with dark blue sleeves.<br />

It's nice and stretchy and easy to put on. Of course it velcros down the back. You do need to be a bit careful not to get the fabric caught but since this isn't a drapey or flowy fabric it's not that hard to keep it out of the way. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The leotard is decorated with two diagonal white stripes and the Innerstar U logo on the hip.<br />

The logo is almost like one of those iron on patches? I'm worried about it's durability over time but as I'm not planning on washing this thing often I hope that it will be okay. It seems like it would start to deteriorate if you stretched the fabric around it too much as well. I kind of wish it was more of an embroidered patch or just not there at all!<br />
<br />
The slippers are plain white cloth with a soft leather-like sole.<br />

They very thin, which I think is accurate, but they fit very well.<br />

I was worried about how well they would stay on but I've had no problems with them falling off. She also stands very well in them in spite of the soft sole. <br />
<br />
The scrunchie matches the body of the leotard:<br />

Unfortunately it doesn't work well with Ivy's hair, but it's a well made little thing and has a home in my doll hair stuff drawer. It reminds me of my childhood obsession with scrunchies! My only complaint here is the HUGE tag. I'll probably be taking that off.<br />
<br />
The certificate is small but well done:<br />

The printing is clean, it's made of nice, thick cardstock, and it has a space for you to write your doll's name. <br />
<br />
The medal is VERY nice:<br />

It hangs from a red, white and blue woven cord that velcros around the neck. The medal itself is a heavy and actually feels like it's made of actual metal. It has a trophy in the center with stars and laurel branches around it.<br />

It says American Girl on the back. This might be my favorite part of the whole set. It's so well made and it has such a lovely shine to it! And the velcro "clasp" makes it very easy to put on and take off. Like I said, very nice!<br />
<br />
<br />
And finally here it is on Ivy:<br />

You can see the scrunchie on her wrist ;)<br />
<br />
We did try for a few poses:<br />

The leotard stretches well and stays put. Luckily there isn't too much stretching around the logo so I think it'll be okay? I really like that she can wear underwear with it and it's not visible. I don't know why but something about not having undies on with athletic wear icks me out. I also really like these colors on her!<br />
<br />
Here she is with her medal: <br />

I really like where it hangs!<br />
<br />
Bottom line? This is a nice set that was worth the original price! It's definitely worth it if you buy it for 14 bucks right now. You get a lot of things and it's all well made and high quality. I like that the colors are dark, I love the medal and the slippers are surprisingly really nice! I think the whole set has great play value. The only down sides to it are the Innerstar Ulogo and that I really can't use the scrunchie with Ivy's hair. But that's not really a problem. It works well with longer hair!<br />
<br />
One more pic of Ivy just for fun:<br />

A Cat...woman?Hey from Georgia everyone! I've been pretty busy visiting this week but today I'm finally ready to post this.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago I did a review on <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2015/02/holy-hang-ten-its-surfer-batman.html?m=1" target="_blank">Surf's Up Batman </a> and since he was so genuinely cool I decided to go back to the store and see if I could find more. Luckily I found Catwoman! And here she is:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's a Julie Newmar Catwoman!<br />
<a name='more'></a>I'm not going to show you the box into too much detail this time. The front is almost entirely the same!<br />
<br />
However since she's not holding a giant surfboard you can see more of Batman and Robin's shapely legs:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Of course the bottom of the box says Catwoman:<br />

I swear though, if I hadn't seen Surf's Up Joker with my own eyes I wouldn't know he exists. I never see him on packaging or online hardly.<br />
<br />
Here she is one more time before we get her out:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Like Batman, Catwoman comes with a stand and a collector card.<br />
<br />
The collector card is made out of the same thick cardboard. It has a graphic of Catwoman and Batman on one side.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It seems like I was right! These cards appear to make one big picture! Exciting!<br />

Her cat suit isn't purple but it's still pretty fabulous!<br />
<br />
Her face and hair are very well done and I can see the resemblance to Julie Newmar. The hair and ears are so spot on!<br />

Her hands don't have claws though! I find it a little disappointing.<br />

I'll probably try to fix it later.<br />
<br />
As far as her articulation goes; it's actually not as good!<br />
<br />
She has the same sort of neck joint Batman did.<br />

She has a shoulder joint and a bicep joint.<br />

But for some reason it's fairly low on her arm. Her elbow and wrist joint are the same as Bruce's and work well.<br />
<br />
She has one rotational waist joint.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So all in all I'm a bit disappointed in her mobility! She's just a bit stiffer and has fewer joints than Surf's Up Batman. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

With Bruce's help of course ;) doesn't he look thrilled?<br />
<br />
I feel like I've complained a lot but I still love her! I love her face. Her cat suit is amazing and very detailed. I wish she had claws like in her picture and I wish her articulation was a touch better but other than that she's awesome! I'm still loving this line and want more. I really want a Robin, the regular Batman and I really really want an Eartha Kitt era Catwoman! Give me more Mattel!<br />

And she is thrilled with all the new Batman stuff we've acquired in her absence. Good to have you home Wrennie!<br />
<br />
I hope you've enjoyed this look at Catwoman. I'm not sure I'll be getting anymore of these but they are amazing! If you can get a hold of one I highly recommend them. Till next time!

(Plus a few other things)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Hey everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day. I had a pretty good one! Today we are just going to do a little update post. Here we go!<br />
<br />
Last time we saw Lissie she was hanging out under a lamp looking a bit like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqVlQXnRMdVFN24_lWDJQXPIStUdfecMqvAe38cEHZPZMvELyhPr2kk-N3_tZhX6dXXJiWiaL6oeNc9LlkfnZwDxV4F-0w2gBIFyscouw4xhNZ9lhCi5hQcaTvtZmB5mybs0hKTF6tbE0/s1600/20150131_152723_Richtone(HDR).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqVlQXnRMdVFN24_lWDJQXPIStUdfecMqvAe38cEHZPZMvELyhPr2kk-N3_tZhX6dXXJiWiaL6oeNc9LlkfnZwDxV4F-0w2gBIFyscouw4xhNZ9lhCi5hQcaTvtZmB5mybs0hKTF6tbE0/s1600/20150131_152723_Richtone(HDR).jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>After a few days (With me watching carefully to make sure she didn't get too hot. That lamp was not on the whole time.) I checked her spots and as far as I can tell they are gone!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here they were before hand:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can't find them anymore at least. Can you?<br />
<br />
With that done I decided to finish her up! She got her new wig glued on and some new face paint. And now you all get to see a before and after! Ready:<br />
<br />
Here is Lissie the day we started working on her:<br />

I actually didn't use paint on her. Instead I used a lip stain that I randomly have. I think her cheeks look good but I might go back and add a bit more color to her lips. Otherwise she is done and will be on her way back home by the end of the week. I hope! I have a whole bunch of other stuff to send with her so that might take me a couple of days to get together. But I'm sure once she arrives home she'll get a welcome home post over at <a href="http://awildreviewappears.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">A Wild Review Appears</a>!<br />
<br />
In other news my <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/2014/12/welcome-home-mia.html" target="_blank">Mia Wren</a> took a trip to the doll hospital! I couldn't get that scuff off her nose to my satisfaction so I just decided to send her in. The turn around time is about 3 weeks at the moment so she will probably be back around the first week of March. Hopefully my husband gets her off the porch for me because I will be in Georgia hanging out with my mom and my aunt! Don't worry, I'll leave him reminders ;) There will be a blog post that week though! It's going to be worked on here shortly.<br />
<br />
Oh! I do have one more exciting bit of news. After my Surf's Up Batman post I went back to Walmart and found that they had restocked! I got: <br />

Catwoman!! Look for a post all about her soon!<br />
<br />
I hope you guys enjoyed this update on Lissie. It's not the most complicated project I've ever done but I'm pretty happy with out she turned out. She can stand easily on her own now, she's all squeaky clean and she's got fab new hair! I just hope her person is pleased.

Last Sunday I went to Walmart to do some shopping for the week (I know, shopping on Super Bowl Sunday? I'm nuts) and since I was alone I decided to wander around the toy section for a bit. And guys, I found the best thing!</div>

I started cracking up! <br />
<a name='more'></a>They also had the Joker with a surfboard and a Catwoman without one. I guess I was laughing pretty hard because this older gentleman came over to see what I was giggling about. We had a little conversation about how amazing these were. I remember telling him I was actually impressed with the face paint and we talked about the show for a little bit. Eventually he walked away with a Joker and the only Catwoman and I walked away with Batman obviously.<br />
<br />
I've done a little research and it appears that this particular Batman (and the Joker and Catwoman) is part of series 2. Series 1 had a regular Batman, the Riddler and the Penguin for sure but no Robin has been in either. I think there is supposed to be a series 3 but I haven't found much about it yet. These are made by Mattel and go for about $25 online. I got mine for around $15 at Walmart so if you're interested I would check there first!<br />
<br />
Now I'm a sucker for box art. All of the boxes on the shelf were pretty beat up, but still it's a really cool box so I took a lot of pictures. The box is pretty much a punch to the eyes in terms of color, but in a good way. Batman and Robin are scaling a purple building with two orange buildings, a yellow sky in the background and the Batsignal in the right-hand corner. The Batman tv series logo is the opposite corner:<br />

In the bottom corner is a neat little graphic telling us that this is Surf's Up! Batman and that there is a collector card inside:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And in the other corner is one of my favorite parts of this box!<br />
<br />
There are three onomatopoeias molded into the plastic! There is this whamm!!:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl_V0nfXJYlPx2-Rj5JUgoW9qYjwWn2CPlsUaRVvmf3biq0nIODqP19r0WMTRioOkp_DJTQGsLF4H5tkvvmi-dS-ebWPrwfvfbYZOpgDnFuD-SmrT8RzJSShkPhc4sgnuEwT6h5he7wbc/s1600/20150204_113620_Richtone(HDR).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl_V0nfXJYlPx2-Rj5JUgoW9qYjwWn2CPlsUaRVvmf3biq0nIODqP19r0WMTRioOkp_DJTQGsLF4H5tkvvmi-dS-ebWPrwfvfbYZOpgDnFuD-SmrT8RzJSShkPhc4sgnuEwT6h5he7wbc/s1600/20150204_113620_Richtone(HDR).jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>

And finally a POW!! right over Batman's shorts:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(An onomatopoeia is basically a word that's a sound. So the word moo is an onomatopoeia.)<br />
<br />
My favorite part of the box is this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The picture of the Dynamic Duo scaling the building continues behind the actual action figure and shows off Robin's ~shapely legs. Also Batman's cape makes up the side of the box. That's really my favorite part!<br />
<br />
The back of the box is almost as cool as the front:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The top has the logo for the series and the words Surf's Up! Batman:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It also has a summary of what I'm assuming is <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0519503/" target="_blank">this episode</a> of the series. I mean I don't know what other episode those shorts would come from! Seriously youtube the words Surf's Up! Joker's Under! and watch the hilarity. I think I might need to buy this show.<br />
<br />
The middle has a cool surfing Batman graphic:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have the collectors card, a stand, Batman and a surfboard.<br />
<br />
The collectors card is an image of the Joker and Batman surfing on the front:<br />

I'm thinking if I get more the collector's cards might make a big picture?<br />
<br />
The stand is neat:<br />

But kind of useless? It's a half circle, with a groove in the back (front? I'm not sure) and one peg. It's covered by a red sticker that says BIFF!!! I thought that the groove maybe held the end of the board when Batman holds it, but it doesn't really work well. Nor does the collector's card fit in it? The side with the cave fits but I want the other side and it's too wide. I really can't tell which side is suppose to be the front either. It's still pretty cool though.<br />
<br />
The surfboard is awesome:<br />

It's made out of thick yellow plastic, with a bat and two pegs on the top. The bottom is slightly concave and has a little fin.<br />
<br />
Here is a better picture of the fin and the pegs:<br />

He is six inches tall. He's wearing a batsuit with yellow board-shorts and a cloth cape. The cape is really nice. It's attached at the neck and made out of a fairly thick, navy blue material. It falls past the back of his knees and has a jagged bottom edge.<br />
<br />
The cowl is made of two different plastics. The face-mask is black with
white eyebrows and nose square and the back and neck-piece are made of a
sparkly, navy blue plastic. It also has two small molded ears on either
side. You can also see how the cape attaches better here:<br />

<br />
His face is amazing! The face-mask has no lenses so you can see his awesome blue/green eyes. I love the detail around his mouth and cheeks too. He even has subtle smile lines and definition to his cheekbones!<br />
<br />
The board-shorts are yellow plastic with a splotchy design I'm sure is supposed to be floral. His utility belt (where he keeps his shark repellant ;) ) sits on top and has a gold buckle. It's hard to see but there is a metallic orange-ish bat on the buckle:<br />

His gloves/gauntlets are made of the same sparkly navy plastic as the back of his cowl.<br />
<br />
They have three spikes on the back of each:<br />

And his hands are curved to grip his surfboard!<br />
<br />
His boots are the same blue sparkly plastic as the gloves/gauntlets. <br />

They come up to a point about mid calf. He also has one hole in bottom of each foot to accommodate the various pegs.<br />
<br />
<br />Okay now I have done something super dorky. I'm sorry I'm inflicting this on you. He has some really kick butt articulation (21 points!!) and so I made a video to show you: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Is it over? Oh good....<br />

Here are a few more pictures of his articulation up close: <br />

When he twists his head to the sides it does go up a little and he really can't tilt his head back. But those are the only negative things I can say about his articulation.<br />
<br />
Here are some sassy head angles:<br />

I really do like that he can tilt his head. I think it adds so much expressiveness to his face!<br />
<br />
For comparison, here he is next to all my other Batman related figures/statues: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He's closest in size to the Red Hood action figure but he's much wider all around.<br />
<br />
And finally here is the part where I had a lot of fun:<br />

I really love this guy! I don't usually buy action figures (Not because I don't' like them! I just try to limit the things I collect.) but I'm so glad I got him! He was totally worth the $15 and I am so impressed. His articulation is CRAZY cool and I couldn't find one paint defect! Amazing quality for that price and I have had SO MUCH fun playing with him!<br />
<br />
I'm really curious about the other action figures in this line. Really regretting letting that guy get away with Catwoman now! I think I might actually go back and see if they have anymore this weekend. I want to see what the articulation is like on a figure that isn't supposed to surf! <br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed this look at Surf's Up! Batman! Next time we'll get back to our regular doll related things.

<a name='more'></a>If you click that link up there is will take you to my bff/sister's blog where she did a little post about sending her Lissie to me for new hair. I got her about a week ago but then immediately ended up with all sorts of sinus/eye issues so her treatments had to wait. Today I'm finally feeling halfway human so we got started!<br />
<br />
Now before I go into everything I've done and plan to do for poor Lissie I want to give you a little bit of history! Let's go back in time ~~~<br />
<br />
About three years ago I was digging through this huge annual rummage sale. I had been hoping I would find something American Girl related but I had been there for several hours and come up with squat. Then I happened to glance up and across this HUGE room I spotted what looked like a doll with red hair and a classic face laying down on a table. So walked quickly over there (read almost ran) and snatched up these two:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYf-zSGXOrmfvqaKOtHUpd_QUklKS3Q-DG2nvd5g-P2B22LbqSI1SCxQKPMR_6izTZY2RLxytAYxPYvNA3194dxpUE4ptX4t1iE0XGoFr55c2bZ43zdsmMY1oiDSGUJrcC1BVupW5nlRk/s1600/k+and+tf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYf-zSGXOrmfvqaKOtHUpd_QUklKS3Q-DG2nvd5g-P2B22LbqSI1SCxQKPMR_6izTZY2RLxytAYxPYvNA3194dxpUE4ptX4t1iE0XGoFr55c2bZ43zdsmMY1oiDSGUJrcC1BVupW5nlRk/s1600/k+and+tf.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is also, coincidentally, the story of how I got my Kirsten. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
And my mother-in-law paid 8 bucks for the both! I already had a Felicity, of course, so this one was marked for my bestie and Kirsten stayed with me.<br />
<br />
Except for their hair and some ridiculously loose limbs they were both in great shape!<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pardon the crappy 3 year old pictures. They were never meant for the public!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
No damage to their limbs, no holes or stains on their bodies. Basically it was a find of a lifetime!<br />
<br />
But man that hair:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w199/mgracehaile/e96f3f7e-b5fa-4eae-a171-704265163b23_zps7eb32cb2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w199/mgracehaile/e96f3f7e-b5fa-4eae-a171-704265163b23_zps7eb32cb2.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
Now I was still fairly new to the restoration game. Lissie was my first restringing and I did okay. At least she was able to stand on her own again for a while.<br />
<br />
I did my best with her hair. It was washed and conditioned, but no matter what I did it melted if I used even the barest heat. Even if the hair was soaking wet. So eventually I just curled it.<br />

It didn't look too bad and Goose took excellent care of her, but eventually that hair just needed to be replaced.<br />
<br />
And here is Lissie at my house today:<br />

She not only going to get a new wig, but we are also going to clean and restring all her limbs and give her some new face paint!<br />
<br />
Lissie and Goose picked out (and sent) this wig:<br />

This is the Wavy Dark Auburn Parting Wig from Ruby Red Galleria.<br />
<br />
It's a really pretty wig:<br />

Smooth fiber, lots of loose curls. I like Ruby Red Galleria wigs!<br />
<br />
It is a lot darker than the original one:<br />

But it reminds me a lot of the newer Felicity wigs. I won't be trying to make pin curls. Lissie's person is going to do that I think but I don't want to cut the brand new wig! <br />

I know I have done wig removals a lot in the past. But just a quick explanation! You just squirt the nail polish remover around the edge of the wig, wait a few minutes, pry with the spoon. Then you squirt more polish remover and then keep prying.<br />

I will link you to a couple of videos <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnNAfGxpgQY" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k04jRGPzr0I" target="_blank">here </a>if there is anyone who needs some real instructions! It's not a difficult processes but it can be VERY hard. And this was one of the hardest wigs I've ever taken off. For some reason that glue just did not want to let go. Eventually I just took pliers and yanked the darn thing off. Good thing I wasn't planning on saving that wig!<br />
<br />
Also, in deference to my sister's feels about her doll, that is the only process picture you will see. She doesn't want to see her babies taken apart and I can't blame her :) Here is Lissie after everything:<br />

So far she has had her limbs restrung and cleaned, her wig removed and a new neck string put into place. That really doesn't sound like a lot of work typed out like that, but I worked on her for a good two hours today! Surprisingly my least favorite part about the whole restringing process is the re-stuffing after you're done. I never feel like I get the stuffing in the right places and I usually end up doing it twice before I feel it's okay. <br />
<br />
I was going to put her wig on too but as I was yanking on her old wig I noticed some pink spots on her cheek:<br />

After a panicked moment and a quick text I found out that they have always been there. I kind of remember them now! But we are going to try and lighten them before I give her new paint.<br />
<br />
So here is Lissie now:<br />

I'm going to let her sit for a few days and then I'll check on her face and go from there. <br />
<br />
Hopefully in another week I'll have her on her way home. I know she's being missed but while she's here she and Kirsten are catching up. I'm really excited to get to work on Lissie again after all this time and I hope Goose likes her new look!

Hmmmmm. <br />
<br />
I'm really not a fan of changing dolls' names if they come with one. It's a personal preference but I kind of feel like when I buy a doll I'm buying the whole package. Personality, looks, name; it all comes together. But when I bought this year's Girl of the Year I knew that the name would have to go. We already have a <a href="http://eyeballdolls.blogspot.com/search/label/Grace" target="_blank">Grace </a>here and I really can't see any other doll as my Grace. So I would like to introduce you to the newest member of our little gang here. Marguerite Grace Thomas:<br />

<a name='more'></a>Or Maggie for short!<br />
<br />
Now the name Grace is part of why I bought her. My middle name is Grace and it was my grandmother's name so it's pretty special to me! I just can't have two. So Maggie it is!<br />
<br />
Here is Maggie in the box. Her book was in the usual plastic holder. I haven't started it yet (I've been busy with my bad book club and haven't had a chance) but I really like the cover art!<br />

I did order her with pierced ears. So they shoved her earring package under the book and between her legs!<br />
<br />
I like this set of earrings:<br />

It comes with Eiffel Tower dangles, a pair of heart studs and a pair of bow studs. The bows are my favorite!<br />
<br />
I assumed that they would use one of the pairs of studs in the package after they pierced her ears. But she actually came with an additional pair of heart studs:<br />

I was pleasantly surprised! Also I know there were a bunch of rumors about her earrings being a different size from the normal ones but as far as I can tell they aren't. I tested this with Mia Wren and they were able to swap earrings easy.<br />
<br />
Maggie also comes with a charm bracelet: <br />

I LOVE this. It comes with 6 charms: a french bulldog, a suitcase, a macaroon, the Eiffel Tower, a postcard and a heart that says Paris on it.<br />
<br />
It sits perfectly on her little wrist:<br />

Like I said up there, I love this thing. I have a fascination for charm bracelets so this was a win before I even got my hands on it. That being said, it's really nice. It's got a good weight, the clasp is pretty easy in my opinion, and the charms are well made and well painted. I don't see any defects on mine! Total win!<br />
<br />
Here is Maggie out of the box with her hairnet still on:<br />

It's very smooth and shiny. She's got these adorable, side swept bangs which I think work well with her face. As far as the style goes I'm not a huge fan of the braid, just because I know that section will be kinked when I take it out, but still I think it's cute. The thing I love most about Maggie's hair is the color!<br />
<br />
She's got this lovely dark brown hair with thick streaks of caramel. <br />

It's hard to photograph and it's not like glaringly obvious from far away but it adds so much depth and richness to her hair. Seriously, her hair reminds me of a caramel filled brownie. Very appropriate for her!<br />
<br />
Maggie has light blue eyes and freckles! She, like Mia, has a unique freckle pattern. Below you can see her freckles with Kit's (representing the standard pattern) and Mia:<br />

They are smaller than Mia's and more uniform in shape but they spread across her nose and cheeks. Unlike Kit's, who are mostly at the sides of her nose and across her cheeks. It's a small difference but I like them!<br />
<br />
Maggie also has some pretty unique eyebrows! The closest to them I could find in my collection are Kaya's eyebrows:<br />

It also has a Grace tag in the back:<br />

They started doing these tags with Isabelle and I was surprised when they continued it with Grace. She's not a fashion designer after all, but I think I like it. If just because it makes knowing what outfits belong to her easier.<br />
<br />
She comes with a pair of plain pink panties with white elastic:<br />

No symbol but that's okay. The only complaint I have with these is that I kind of had a hard time figuring out which side was the front when I went to put them back on. Otherwise they're perfectly fine!<br />
<br />
I really like her boots:<br />

They have a hard sole and slip on and off. They're well constructed and just stiff enough that getting them on and off is easy!<br />
<br />
I also purchased "Grace's Welcome Gifts." This set includes a beret, Eiffel Tower cookies, a bouquet of pink flowers, a box of macaroons and three post cards. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We'll start with the beret:<br />

I mostly got this set to get the beret and to be honest I don't like it. I mean it's okay but I don't like how it sits on her head and I think that Ivy's beret is better. But it completes her outfit so I got it!<br />
<br />
The Eiffel Tower cookies are in an adorable mesh bag with a bow. I wanted to take one out but I know I'd never get that bow back in place!<br />

The bouquet is cute. It's bunch of pink roses wrapped in a paper cone. I like the dots on the paper but I don't feel that its really durable. I see this thing getting destroyed pretty fast in the hands of a kid!<br />
<br />
The macaroons come in a nice little box:<br />

<br />
The macaroons come out:<br />

But all in all are kind of disappointing. They are well painted and well sculpted but they are also one big piece. That kind of cuts down on the play value for me; though I do understand that separated they would be easy to lose and choking hazard. Maybe if the box didn't open I would like them better but it was like oh cute box! OH! It opens! Eh, it's one piece. It's just okay.<br />
<br />
I was really surprised but this, but my favorite things in this whole set are the postcards! <br />

They are written to her grandparents and her friends. They also have different stamps and addresses! I don't know why but I just think these things are SO cute! I love all the details. Easily my favorite part!<br />

All things considered, I really love this doll! I like that she bakes, because I love to bake! I love that we (now) share a middle name. I love that she has new freckles and new eyebrows. I especially love her hair. Her jewelry is amazing and the earrings were worth the extra money to me. I like her outfit and....okay maybe I have a slight geeky confession. Maggie is exactly what the daughter of my favorite crack X-Men ship (Cyclops and Husk) would look like. Yeah, I'm really glad I got her!<br />
<br />
Now I'm a little more ambivalent about the welcome gifts. I'm glad I got them because I'm a completest but at the same time I really wish I had just got the beret off of E-bay. Then again I enjoyed playing with the post cards. But still, I would say if you're an adult collector don't bother with the welcome gifts. They're just okay.<br />
<br />
I really like the rest of the collection for Grace and will be getting most if not all of the clothing. So look forward to that! Next time however we will be talking about a new project! My sister/bff sent me her Lissie for a makeover and you can read her post all about sending Lissie to me <a href="http://awildreviewappears.blogspot.com/2015/01/felicity-goes-meta.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I'm so excited to get started! Till then!MCooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09786051432479756282noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162094116089514083.post-61177740226865829392015-01-18T03:08:00.000-06:002015-01-18T03:08:14.857-06:00Shiny Dick (Kotobukiya Nightwing)For Christmas I got my bff/sister a Kotobukiya Nightwing! Nightwing aka Dick Grayson is her favorite DC character so it was pretty appropriate. The problem is when it came to my house the thing was so cool that, with her encouragement, I ended up buying one for myself.......<br />
<br />
Now this really isn't going to be a review. It's more of a hey I got a really neat thing, look at all the pictures! But if you want more of a review type thing go check out her post about her <a href="http://awildreviewappears.blogspot.com/2014/12/kotobukiya-nightwing.html" target="_blank">Shiny Dick</a>. Also I should probably explain that. See Kotobukiya is such a pain to try and figure out how to say that we just call the statues Shiny _______. So Nightwing is Shiny Dick, Green Arrow is Shiny Ollie, Robin is Shiny Dami and so on and so on. By the way don't go look at the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kotobukiya-DC-Comics-Damian-Statue/dp/B00MJ150ZI/ref=pd_sim_t_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=0CT78N9JRPQ56XTTJX5D" target="_blank">Shiny Dami statue</a> it's too cute for words! Okay and yeah, there is one more reason we call him Shiny Dick. I'm like a twelve year old......and it makes me giggle. Not sorry. <br />
<br />

I equally love and hate pretty boxes like this. On one hand it's a box
and I need to throw it out, but on the other it's SO darn pretty. This
is why I use smashbooks. <br />
<br />
<br />
He was super easy to get out. The top has a tab, you pull that and open the lid. <br />

Dick was sandwiched between two plastic forms. Those pop open!<br />
<br />
And he was in a plastic bag with just his head and arm exposed. <br />

His escrima stick!<br />

One of the coolest parts I think is that one of his hands has a little hole to hold it:<br />

The stick isn't loose in his fist either, which I find reassuring. I almost lost the darn thing twice before I got around to putting it in his hand.<br />

I mean you can normally skimp on the back of the knee and who would notice?! But there you have a cool little molded patch!<br />

No pegs! It makes him pretty easy to move and pose as much as he can. Which is basically just taking pictures of him from different angles. He's a statue so no articulation!<br />

My Shiny Dick has a few minor paint defects above his mask but otherwise the paint job is kick butt!<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Doll wise it was a good year for me! My Extra Special Doll Grace finally came after some funny business with Fed-Ex. There were lots of clothing purchases. I got to go to the AG store in Denver and KC. My boys finally came to be and we welcomed a few more girls to the mix! So in that respect I was a very lucky person last year. But man 2014 was a very hard year both personally and nationally. Good things
happened but there was a lot of bad and it overshadowed what good
there was.<br />
<br />
So welcome 2015! All new year, with new hope, and all new fancy blog tabs, and pictures and themes. Plus an all new Girl of the Year! Welcome Grace! <br />
<br />
Yes, I know that I just got two new dolls for my birthday (my husband very helpfully pointed that out) but at 12:05 New Years day I placed my very first direct from the company Girl of the Year order! I'll talk more about why I wanted Grace and what I like about her in her introduction post but right now I have something else we need to talk about.<br />
<br />
I love Grace, I really do, so the rest of this post isn't really anything bad about her. It's about American Girl as a whole and the choices they are making. I think I will always love this company. They've given me some of my best memories both as a kid and as an adult but wow, I am so disappointed right now. Once again they wasted a chance to add diversity to their Girl of the Year line. To let more than just little white girls know that they matter. <br />
<br />
The last four years have been filled with white faces. Two classic molds, two Josefina molds, three with blue eyes, and one with hazel. Now I understand that it takes years of development to make a new doll. And I have no doubt that there are people at AG who are hearing us and understand why their fans are upset. But still four years in a row of white dolls. This means that there are little girls who don't remember there ever being a doll of color in the Girl of the Year line. That's just unacceptable.<br />
<br />
I really don't feel qualified or capable of really explaining this issue but luckily I know someone who is. Neth over at <a href="http://americangirloutsider.blogspot.com/2015/01/ag-complaint-department-agdocgoty.html" target="_blank">American Girl Outsider </a>wrote an amazing post all about why representation is so important. I know to many of you this might seem like a small issue but it's not. So please go read that post and support <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><b>#‎AGDoCGotY </b>not just once or twice but all year and every year until American Girl hears us. All girls are important, let's make them feel like it. </span></span></span><br />

Cue the dramatic music.<br />
<br />

This action figure to be exact:<br />

Lately (after about five years of trying) my bff has gotten me into Batman. My comics budget is screaming but hey I'm happy! So for Christmas this year I received this bad boy. Red Hood and the Outlaws is one of my favorite titles mostly because I'm a Jason Todd fan. And I have a soft spot for Arsenal (thank you Arrow.)<br />
<br />
The first thing I noticed is how nice the box is! Here is the back:<br />

It has pictures of Red Hood and the rest of the Outlaws' action figures. We won't talk about Starfire right now.<br />
<br />
It also has a nice close up and a little blurb:<br />

It was a very easy unboxing. The top flap just opens and you slide out the inner cardboard tray and then pop out the plastic one.<br />

He was attached to the plastic with three twist ties. One around his waist and the other two around his calves.<br />
<br />
And then he just popped right out. Here he is finally free:<br />

My only complaint about the paint job is the zipper of his jacket. It's pretty sloppily painted and not very detailed. But other than that I'm super impressed. Even the tiny buttons are painted well.<br />
<br />
I really like the flair of his jacket. Especially the back:<br />

It really gives him a nice sense of motion.<br />
<br />
I also like that under his jacket is just as detailed as the rest of him:<br />

All his fingers but his pointer finger are molded together and curved to hold his guns. <br />
<br />

They are really small and really hard to photograph but they are very detailed. Even the black part is textured.<br />

It took me a while but he can hold them fairly naturally. His pointer fingers are even positioned to be next to the triggers.<br />
<br />
He is larger than your run of the mill action figure:<br />

But see! Isn't his face amazing? And his neck! Love all those little details. <br />
<br />
He has 15 points of articulation not counting the blades on his gauntlets. Those are all move individually. All of his joints were very stiff but with some gentle working I got them going. His head moves a little bit but barely and I'm not sure if he is supposed to have a waist joint? But if he is supposed to have one mine doesn't move. It would look weird anyway!<br />

His elbow joints are very strange. The first picture is the furthest his elbows can bend in. The second picture is how far the bend out. I'm not sure if maybe his elbow joint is turned wrong, but I tried turning it and it didn't do anything. I'll keep working on it!<br />
<br />
His hip joint his extremely limited front to back but he can kind of do side splits:<br />

All in all I really really like him! Even with the joint issues I had a blast playing with him and taking pictures. He looks like he came straight out of one of my favorite comics which gives me a happy every time I see him! I find it a little strange that such a detailed action figure doesn't have better articulation and I'm really interested to see what Arsenal is like. Probably going to have to get him too. But like I said it doesn't take away from my enjoyment and I love this guy so much! If you're a Red Hood fan I totally recommend him. <br />
<br />
It's supposed to rain tomorrow again, but hopefully I'll still be able to take some good pictures. Either way come back for a post.

For my birthday. This is what Mia looked like when she got her.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Well what she looked like once Traci put her head back on. I guess the seller shipped her in two pieces and when Traci went to get Mia out of the box all she pulled out was a head...... Her mother was horrified. <br />
<br />
Here is my Mia and her's bonding while she made something a little less.....cold to ship Mia in:<br />

Mia is missing a few items of her meet outfit but I'll hunt them down eventually and anyway I got this adorable outfit:<br />

This is the first picture I took of her. Poor Mia arrived on a day I was in the full throws of a lovely case of the flu or something. I've been sick for like a week! So she and I cuddled the rest of the day and I took no more meeting her pictures. <br />
<br />
I'm finally feeling halfway human again and so now she can have a proper introduction:<br />

Mia has been on my want list for a while because of her unique freckle pattern! Here it is compared to Kit's:</div>

Mia's freckles are much more dense and scattered fairly evenly on her nose as well as her cheeks. Both sets of freckles are adorable though!<br />
<br />
Traci also got me the Two-in-One Skating outfit for Mia:<br />

Which is gorgeous on her. I will probably do a full post on that. It's a pretty cool set!<br />
<br />
Mia has a few issues but nothing too major! <br />

She has a small scrape on her nose and her limbs will need tightening eventually but her hair is still pretty nice and the rest of her vinyl is in great condition. Along with her body! I'm actually pretty pleased that she needs a touch of work. You know I like restoring dolls!<br />
<br />
My Mia will probably stay close to her book personality. She will still be very much into skating.<br />

But somewhere in my feverish state I decided she would be a Batman fan too and so she stole my little Bruce action figure! Yeah I'm super amused by that.<br />
<br />
I'm so excited to have Mia here with us! She's certainly charmed me and the rest of the girls. Maybe it was because I was so sick when I got her but we've bonded really fast and hard. I hope you enjoyed today's posts. Come back tomorrow for something new and interesting. Till then!

<a name='more'></a><br />
The second week of December my husband and I traveled up to the Kansas City area to visit our families and it just so happened that our birthday (We were born on the same day! He's about 6 hours older than me.) was the day after we were planning on coming back. I did get a gift card from my in-laws but I hadn't planned on going to the KC store just because we really didn't have the time. But my husband, being a total sweetheart, made some time and took me there the morning we were leaving KC as a birthday surprise.<br />
<br />
I wasn't sure I was going to get a doll but if I did it was between #58 and #26. In the end my husband chose and I walked out with #58 and a bunch of clothes to review in the next couple of months.<br />

The little cartoon her is so cute!<br />
<br />
You'll have to excuse some of these pictures. There was NO way I was going to wait till we got home to get her out so the unboxing took place in the car!<br />

I would like you to meet Miss Charlotte Marie or Charlie for short. I'm not sure what kind of doll she will be (modern or historical) but I do know that I love her to bits! We're still working on discovering who she is and what she likes but I'll let you guys know as soon as we do.<br />
<br />
For now she's loving the Plaid Party Dress and so am I! It's adorable.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here are a few close ups of the dress: <br />

It's a bit chilly for this time of year but we're adding tights and a sweater for Christmas.<br />
<br />
Now back to Charlie! And her gorgeous curls:<br />

Man.<br />
<br />
<br />
Last year I managed to do five posts leading up to Christmas and this year I'm already one behind but we can do it. Let's finish out the year strong! So today we are going to talk about Matilda's cloak and her night dress! <br />

Thanks to one of you awesome people I was warned of a sale of Matilda
things on Zulilly in Novemeber! I got Matilda's cloak and night dress
for me and something for my bff's Matilda. Seriously Zulilly has had
some amazing doll deals the past couple of months!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
I love the design of AGfaT's boxes. The back of both has a nice little blurb about Matilda:<br />

If I could just get the individual designs with the construction of AG's boxes these would be perfect. They're so pretty but these boxes are a touch flimsy in my opinion.<br />
<br />
Everything comes in an inner cardboard tray: <br />

It's not my favorite way but it works. And I didn't notice any holes this time. <br />

It's made of dark burgundy velvet with a braided purple, velvet trim all the way around and a fur lined hood. <br />
<br />
It closes at the throat with a beautiful frog closure:<br />

It's hidden in the seam near an arm hole. It's held closed with a snap and is velvet lined. The pocket is fairly large and very nicely made, I can imagine that kids would have a blast hiding little notes in there!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here it is on lovely miss Matilda:<br />

As you can see it's very long and drapes beautifully. The arm holes are big enough to get her huge sleeves through but still look very nice. I like that they don't gape. The front of the cloak is open but still completely covers her dress. <br />
<br />

The gown is pretty simple. It's made out of white cotton with ruffles at the neckline, cuffs and hem.<br />
<br />
The collar has elastic on the inside which makes it pretty easy to slip over Matilda's head.<br />

No snaps or velcro here!<br />
<br />
Her night cap is made out of the same material. <br />

It ties under her chin and has a matching ruffle along the bottom edge.<br />
<br />
And here it is on Matilda:<br />

After playing in all those leaves Matilda had to come in and warm up by the fire!<br />
<br />
Between the two I have to say that I'm most pleased about getting the cloak, but I really like the night dress. It's one of those things that was last on my list but I'm glad I have it. She looks so pretty! <br />
<br />
Both meet the quality I have come to expect from A Girl for all Time. I love all the little details. The frog closure is amazing on the cloak. It's a little hard to work at first but it looks pretty sturdy. I also love the little hidden pocket. My favorite thing about the night dress is actually that there are no snaps. I really like the fact that it just slips over her head!<br />
<br />
So which do you all like best?<br />

Tomorrow will be a double post day. My birthday was last Monday and I have two new crew members to introduce. Tuesday I'll be doing something I've never done before on here but you'll have to wait and see what that is! And then Christmas Eve should also be something special. No review but a group photoshoot, weather permitting! Till tomorrow!MCooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09786051432479756282noreply@blogger.com2
