Now that my birthday has happened, I actually do want to try to stop buying myself presents. Of course I will still give myself permission to buy books somewhat regularly, and if I find a great deal on something that would be really good to have in my room I might make the purchase, but for the most part, for the rest of October I want to make an effort to limit my spending to the essentials. T-Mobile, cannabis, Netflix, not much else.
THAT BEING SAID, here is a list of toys that I wish I could buy right now:
12 Days of Halloween Barbie (good thing you have to be some sort of club member to buy her - I'm not a member, so I literally can't spend the money on her right now!)
Monster High x Wednesday Bianca Barclay, and a second one to re-dress because this doll is too gorgeous to not be at least one more character
more X-Men '97 action figures, especially (in no particular order) Bishop, Fabulous Magneto, Nightcrawler, Morph, Cyclops, Gambit, Rogue, Jean, Maddie, Emma, Storm, and Professor X
2-5 more Storm action figures
more Hello Kitty Care Bears
Elphaba Care Bear
several Hello Kitty and Friends plush: Badtz-Maru, Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, My Melody, other characters . . .
a few more plush Hello Kitty characters dressed up as other animals (for example, this Kuromi in a unicorn costume)
a few more Elphaba dolls (one is in a mysteriously delayed pakidge that may or may not ever arrive, but eventually I want three to display together)
at least one Megazord
all four of those rare expensive Charmed action figures with interlocking pieces of an attic playset
one Black Widow action figure with a motorcycle
2-6 Invisible Woman action figures
President Barbie (from the 2023 film)
at least one Descendants Audrey doll (partly because her actor was also a Charmed One)
this The Little Mermaid doll set, which I was and still kind of am seriously tempted to buy for my birthday
maybe one random Winx doll?
many more Trolls Band Together Mineez --- I like these way more than I thought I would, considering that most of them don't have brushable hair!
. . . do I like my new Kuromi doll enough to get My Melody as well?
A Goofy Movie Doorables set
maybe one or three Na Na Na Surprise Minis?
