Yummy Miniatures!

I found this awesome miniatures at a small flea market today. The lady who sold them to me told me they were originally from Thailand.
 Here with my hand to show how tiny, yet detailed they are.
 A cute cake filled with love.
 And yummy sushi!

They were only 50cent...I still only got four...maybe I should habe picked up a few more?

Wee 3 Friends - Janet by Mattel

I finally found a few minutes to show of this cutie I found at a flea market. I never heard of this Mattel doll-line before, but they immediately caught my eye.

The line is called Wee 3 friends....and as far as I found out the trio was always sold together. I only picked up Janet and I regret a bit that I didn't buy all three of them since I really love their look.
The face sculpt. So beautifull and innocent and friendly.
Sorry for the lack of nice pictures.

Here's a nice Homepage with lots of pictures from Janet and the other two girls.

My little Pony - G1

At the fleamarket this weekend I was finally able to find some more G1 Ponies! They have become sooo rare the last few years.

First the 'Apple Delight Loving Family' released in 1988 only missing their daddy.  The mom isn't in the best shape but I had to take her anyway :)




Next the Newborn Pony named Shaggy also released in '88. Isn't it cute?



The next two Ponies are from 1989. The Rainbow Curl Ponies were one of the most popular I think. When I was little I had two of them...and now I got Stripes 20 years later :)
Like the others I washed her and curled her hair up again.




The last Pony I got is the Glittery Sweet Heart Sister Pony called Twinkler. I'm not the biggest fan of the Sister Ponies, but Twinkler looks really nice and elegant especially in the sun.

Littlest Pet Shop - Bunny - #3062

Today I received this cute bunny as a present :)


Isn't he adorable? I also really like the packaging design with the cupcake.



It belongs to the newer pets that started with the animated series. I think the two pets on the back with names are main characters in teh series.

Bugsted - back to the moon - Blind Box

Today I found these blind boxes for sale (1€ each) and wanted to give them a try.

To be honest I never heard of the before. They seem to be part of an online game or something and were produced by Simba. The reason I picked them up was that they reminded me of vinyl toys like the ones by kidrobot.
Here are the two I got. They stand 4,5 cm tall.
Overall there are 9 characters, each in two poses. So overall 18 different to collect.
Of course they are not as well made and painted as kid robot stuff, but they tsill look very neat, especially for the low price.

J-Doll - Rossi Street by Jun Planning

I got her in January after I found an ebay store who got J-Dolls for about 40€. Store store I bought my Bunny Nun sells them for nearly 100€ so I thought it was a good deal. I thought about getting a human-like J-doll for awhile, but they were just too expensive for me to buy one at such a high price.

Well...after browsing the ebay store I choose this lovely Ballerina :)

A close up of her face. The head sculpt and the eyes are simply georgeous!

 I also love her outfit and color scheme. A true letdown however is the body...the joints just don't look nice and there are two iron screws in her back. I really don't understand how they can make such detailed outfits and faces and then do a body like that :/
With the other dolls of this lineit's not as obvious because they are fully clothed and the arms and the back are not visible.


I missed taking a pic in box...but here's the back of the box.
She only comes with the doll stand, some nude colored ballerina slippers (no plastic shoes), a hair band and a simple nude colored leotard.



I think the J-Dolls are a true alternative for people like me who do like BJDs but are on a low budget or who simply don't want to spend hundred of euros on a doll like that.

Snugglebumms: Princess Snuggleina

My mom found her along with the Keypers swan for 50 cent. To be honest I don't know anything about the snugglebumms toyline, because I'm a few years too young ;)
Princess Snuggleina is theonly one of the Snugglebumms that has rooted her. Normally they have this fuzzy hair that can't be combed easily.
She is missing her crown, skirt and her hair has been cut.



For more information I recommend the ghost of doll homepage :)

My little Pony - G1 - Twice as fancy Sundance

A flea market find from last year. I just didn't have the time to clean her until recently.


Her pink hair is faded and nearly white but she still looks lovely :)
This version of Sundance was released in 1988/1989 along with Megan, the only human doll of the My little Pony toyline.

The white streak in her hair originally turned pink in the sun, but it doesn't work anymore after all these years.

Keypers - Swan - Princess

My mom was so awesome and found the adult Swan from the Keypers toyline at a local fleamarket for only 50 cent last month (or was it two months ago?) :)

It's missing the finder, the key, the brush and the little crown but I won't complain considering the price and the age.

 This is the adult swan from the second series. The colours are the same, but it has more hair. :)

Turtle Tots / Tottles Taffy

by Mattel, produced in 1988

I found this little guy in a second hand store for 50 cents. I never heard of these plush toys before but somehow the idea of a baby turtle cracked me up ;)




The little cap, the diaper and the shell are removable.
For more information on this toy visit the fantastic ghost of doll website.
