Dolls I Have Recently Accrued

I need a body for pink-haired mermaid Odile. She has a more sun kissed look so I searched around for a body match. I gave up and asked Google. It directed me to Dream Besties Weekend Getaway Teresa, so off to Walmart I went!

Odile’s skin has more pink undertones so I don’t know how it’s going to look.

I wonder if the fashionista head would be better suited for the body?

Luggage, phone & case, stickers, neck pillow, purse, and game! We’re gonna call it a *Gamedoll* *Color* lol.

I picked up two Barbie & Ken fashion packs that didn’t look like a$$, and they are pretty cute.

It is not often I see a pack I like, especially for Ken & friends!

I also grabbed a capsule on the way out. Never opened a Minibrands Fashion before!

I bought this outfit on Mercari from barbie59 who cobbles outfits together and customises parts. There’s lots of cute outfits so it was difficult to pick only one!

I don’t know where some of my pics went ☹️

I have been on a quest to accumulate Ken’s. I saw this a while back and really liked it.

Clothing shall be harvested. No doll is safe.

I found another Ken I have really wanted for a long time now, but he’s always too expensive. I found the set on Mercari for very cheap and jumped on it.

Well, they arrived, and I got a bit of a shock when I pulled them out!

Behold…2009 Harley Davidson Barbie & Ken!

Ken isn’t as bad, but he has no trouble doing the splits.

Seller said the legs were “pretty loose” but did not show accurate pics of the looseness. I thought “How bad could it be? They aren’t falling off or anything!”

I don’t think I can string a doll with my arthritic fingers. I could use apoxie sculpt to put the legs in place which would limit posing, but…..it’s better than nothing 😬

Nice and clean! I love this face mold.

The Mercari listing pic looks like a mugshot 😆

Have I been on a Mercari doll tear? Yes, yes I have 😆

I’ve wanted a Lara ever since I saw that face, she is just so pretty!

Sorry about the bad pictures. The camera on this phone is so weird.

So happy she didn’t need a cleaning since this one has only been displayed.

Here we have Candy Glam Raquelle! I think from 2009?

Thankfully, Orangezilla did **not** gain a new chew toy!

I’ve become so lazy with my pictures, which bothers me even if it’s only a “look at this cool thing I got” pic.

The last of the new dolls..for now 🥴

It’s a My Scene…I’m not sure which one. The seller was a bit unclear and I thought I was getting three dolls, but I’m not bringing it up. Super nice lady, she just needs to write descriptions way more clearly. I’m not mad though.
