ryanreactsYes, once again, Saturday is My Sunday . . . and this one is pretty fucking great so far!
According to my phone, I have five pakidges being held for pickup: a big box of Goldfish; canned carrots; lo mein noodles; another portable charger; and an Amazon box containing my Janis doll and some snacks.
Here are two Very Important Doll Updates:
1. Skater is obviously my favorite Dream Besties Malibu doll, but two of her accessories have annoying quirks. Like a lot of dolls, she has a beverage with a lid and a straw. Unlike most dolls, the lid and straw (one piece) can be removed AND there is no way to secure it! She also has a compact which seems to be impossible to open without breaking. WHY would you do this to me personally, Mattel?!
2. One pair of pants that came with Festival Looks Malibu has been missing for days. Probably at least a week, if not even longer? I had pretty much given up on finding them without divine intervention or whatever . . . but then a few minutes ago, I actually did find them! They had fallen into the frame of the second bed, perfectly tucked between the frame and the bottom mattress!
I still love the Festival Looks set a lot, so much that I might buy it a second time so my dolls have more clothes to share amongst themselves. I love the "one doll, multiple outfits" concept and seriously wish Mattel would release similar sets for every other Dream Besties character.
I don't really want to order any more toys (with the possible exception of my next Mean Girls Bratz!) until one hundred percent of my currently "incoming" stuff has been "delivered," but I am getting into lip balm lately. Obviously, living in the desert means that my lips are usually pretty dry. Obviously, I have multiple tubes of chapstick (three of which actually live in the pink box that goes in my bag whenever I leave my room) . . . but I almost never actually put chapstick on my lips. It recently occurred to me that this might be because chapstick is not particularly fun, at least not for my brain. But LIP BALM is fun, so I have recently purchased an eight-pack of Lip Smackers Crayola and a two-pack of e.l.f. squeezey tubes (which I do like even though they are not as easy to apply as the other kind of tubes). Today I also ordered an eight-pack of Coca-Cola flavors and one Lippy Pal. If I throw two or three of these in a small tin along with one chapstick, MAYBE my brain will be able to trick itself into applying all of them regularly so that my lips can actually stay moisturized? Maybe?
I'm not even allowed to order her until I actually bring Janis home ( . . . after work on Monday . . . ), but I suppose my next toy purchase will probably be Spring Fling Cady.
OR two more Dream Besties.
OR another Boyfriend Ken.
OR an action figure.
If the Buffy MH two-pack was available for pre-order, I would pay for that now. Yesterday I was thinking about how Mean Girls was my personal gateway drug into Bratz, but their Clueless dolls are also so good that I almost want them even though I have never seen Clueless! Which got me thinking about how, if they ever make Charmed dolls, I will literally vanquish anyone foolish enough to try to stop me from buying all four.
Especially Paige.
Speaking of Bratz! I mentioned the Slumber Party dolls to Lori, and now I know that very similar dolls were made over twenty years ago --- but back then Jade had short hair! It was so much cuter that way! I do still want all five of the current dolls (well, not so much Jade anymore), but they weren't exactly at the top of my priority purchases list anyway; now, whenever I do get around to actually wanting to buy them, I should compare and contrast the current dolls with the classic ones.
What are my doll priority purchases, then? Let's see . . .
1. every other Dream Besties doll --- at least once, often twice
2. every other Mean Girls Bratz doll (hunt for bargains)
3. whenever Mattel wants to let me pay for her, I NEED FEARBOOK GHOULIA
4. other ILY dolls? (love these, but must be picky)
5. Bratz Very Merry Sasha and Cloe (in that order)
6. Bratz Slumber Party
7. more Boyfriend Kens should have been higher on this list!
8. this
9. WICKED: lots of Elphabas, a few Glindas, at least one Nessa
10. obviously, vintage Skippers & Courtneys and Barbies and Christies and Teresas and Kiras and other friends are constant holy-grail bargain-hunt situations, as are all of the Power Rangers FOR GIRLS dolls, as well as multiple dolls from Barbie The Movie The Film
11. obviously, at some point I will need to buy the recent Harley & Ivy Barbies
And, unfortunately, they are clearly not priorities for me . . . but eventually I really do want to get the My Melody and Hello Kitty articulated dolls! I love Kuromi more than words can say, and I sincerely hope that they will make at least one more series of three characters other than these three!
I still need to write an in-depth post about all of the KPop Demon Hunters toys. Basically, I will be getting all of the "How It's Done" dolls and possibly Jinu; if they will still let me buy them, I want the first "What It Sounds Like" dolls we saw; I need most of the action figures; I will probably get some of the blind box tiny toys; and I am unfortunately considering Hot Toys Mira.
