ryanreactsLately I have been thinking about a list of things I am allowed to spend money on for the entire month of February, but tonight I have also been thinking about the rest of this year and where I will most likely give myself permission to buy toys I do not "need."
1. BARBIE DREAM BESTIES
Obviously.
As of this writing, Zia should arrive soon! And then I will order Daisy Jean (eyeroll), and the cycle shall continue. But after those two, in no particular order, I will only need to get a second Skater Brooklyn, Skater Teresa & Renee, GRWM Brooklyn & Malibu, 2.0 Brooklyn & Malibu, and Original Core 4 Brooklyn & Malibu.
I may or may not order most of them in pairs like that, but it would make sense and also be fun!
In addition to the actual dolls, I want a few fun playsets for them and lots of accessories like mystery bags, food and drinks, potions, etc.
2. BRATZ MEAN GIRLS
Oh my fucking gosh.
I was browsing eBay just for fun when I found a set of six (the first four, plus Spring Fling Regina and Cady) for $750 plus shipping. That's "only" $125 per doll, which is actually pretty fair for them, so I sent Lori a screenshot and said, "If $750 (plus shipping!) wasn't such a lot of disposable income, I would do it" and she pointed out that this set does not include Spring Fling Janis!
And then she also told me that Spring Fling Janis is currently on sale! On Amazon!
SO I ORDERED HER! $41.24 total, hahahahaha, oh my holy heck yes, I am seriously giddy with excitement about this! I could cry! When was the last time I got this excited about buying one doll?!
3. VINTAGE BARBIES
And Skippers and Courtneys! And fashion packs!
4. SANRIO
5. KPOP DEMON HUNTERS
6. X-MEN 97
In no particular order: Fabulous Magneto, Bishop, Morph, Nightcrawler, Sunspot, Emma, Jean, Maddie, Cyclops, etc . . .
7. OTHER X-MEN
I can think of at least three Nightcrawler figures I want. I also want Colossus, Mystique & Destiny, Iceman, Pyro, etc.
If I can ever justify the space it would take up and the expense, obviously the LEGO X-Mansion is one of the coolest toys I have ever seen in my entire life.
8. OTHER MARVEL
For example, for some reason, I really want this two-pack (which is currently $55, but was closer to $40 last time I looked at it). There's also a Fantastic Four She-Hulk, so I guess my little alternate team will need one more member.
9. TMNT
Right now I think I "only" have twelve action figures waiting to be opened. I can always use more! Just from Mutant Mayhem, I would really really like to get the April figure. Eventually I need Street Style Mikey and Leo, the variants whose jackets are all their theme color.
10. POWER RANGERS
11. SAILOR MOON
12. HARLEY QUINN, POISON IVY, WONDER WOMAN, AND OTHER DC
13. SUITE SPACES
14. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
15. WICKED
16. ILY DISNEY
17. DOCTOR THIRTEEN BARBIE
18. FEARBOOK GHOULIA
Shut up and take my money! I would pre-order her right now if I could!
19. KENNER BATMAN RETURNS
20. BARBIE THE MOVIE THE FILM
21. BARBIE EXTRA
Without looking up the line as a whole, I can think of at least three that I definitely want. Including one Ken.
22. MORE KENS
Mostly to be new boyfriends for Heath and slash or each other, but occasionally I will get a Ken "just" because I really love his outfit.
23. DOORABLES
Unfortunately I love the new In Full Bloom series enough that I would really like to get most of them if I can.
24. CLOUDEES
The other day I realized that I gave away ALL of my Cloudees in 2024! I miss them all!
25. LPS
26. MY LITTLE PONY
Right now I have one tiny Pinkie Pie, and that's it.
At minimum, I need to get the Meet the Mane Six set sooner than later!
27. MIXLINGS
28. CHARMED ACTION FIGURES
29. MORE MINI BAGS
Not just for Dream Besties! Usually, but not always!
30. OCCASIONAL MONSTER HIGH
Mostly from G3. One G1 doll I know I would like to get again someday is Boo York Nefera.
31. PLUSH
Mostly Sanrio and Care Bears.
