Dollidays Are The Best Days 'Cause

The best days are dollidays! Catastrophe has already struck and the day hasn't changed :'D I opened up Lagoona and Jackson today. They both look pretty cool but came with defects, sadly. Jackson's face-up has some ruin at his right eyebrow. It's not too bad, but visible. As for Lagoona... At first, it was just the hole in the back in the back of her leggings. But as I was changing her and putting her arm back on it kind of snapped. So the nub that locks in is stuck in her arm and I doubt I can fish it out. I looked on Mattel's service site to see if I could get a replacement, but they only replace the lower arms and hands. *sigh* Damages aside, I still like them :] I'll be up tonight fixing Lagoona. Cheers!

So They Didn't Make More Clothes...?

I sort of have my mom hunting for Monster High things for me |D" And she called me just now asking which one of Lagoona's outfits I wanted. I paused, and told her there should be only one. The swimsuit with the boogie board. She told me that was there, along with a cheer-leading uniform. 'But that's for another character...' ' Well her name is on it. Like how the other character's names will be on their's. ' 'Uh-huh... Well that's just a poor typo. But, um, yeah I want the swimsuit one, please.' So parents out there... I suggest knowing the characters' looks and names (Because it probably doesn't help that there are four blue characters and only one is a boy) before hunting for MH toys and have contact with your child before their "Christmas is ruined-- FOREVER." ;D

It's Like Some Weird Form of Self-Disipline.

jacksooooon jeeeekkyyllllll. Is here. Still in the TRU box. ._. i-i can't look at him (or Lagoona) until Xmas. uggghhh, damnit. whhhyy DO I DO THIS??? My grandmum keeps asking me about what's going to be under the tree for me, since I've gotten my presents early. I was going to tell her that I'll have things on the tree (Gift cards), but then I gave her the portable Beystadium and tops she got me and told her to wrap that up. Now I'm doing the same for Jackson and Lagoona. =3=) awesome. It's okay, I can not wait.

And the Beast is Almost Conquered

I'm a little glad that I constantly stalk new websites of interest. Because thanks to Toys R Us, I'm getting my Lagoona Blue doll before Christmas! Now where is my split partner so I can get Deuce? :'D Jackson is already on his way, but since TRU is setting most toy ETAs to the 24th, Lagoona should be right with him. Maybe later I can get her Scream Uniform (for the shoes ewe)" ) woohoo, Dollidays!

I Should Know Better, And I Do, But...

Guess who just bought herself a Gloom Beach Jackson Jekyll? :D /shot. I was going to hope wait for a basic set of him to be released, but when I woke up I read that Toys R Us had Gloom Beach dolls in stock. ...I-I just couldn't pass this up, ya see?? ;A; Now... when is Lagoona going to be in stock anywhere ? Because my only brick-and-mortar hope is Justice and I'd rather buy her there than online. And with more boys on the way, Lyca's going to be out numbered. ...Even though I consider her one of the guys but, this was already decided and she was an impulse buy. >:c ocrap, what am I going to do when basic-jackson comes out??? aauughhhdamnit. :'D  

Holt Hyde "Review" and Squee

Holt just got in *w* With shoes, again, his are tough to get off so be careful. I had to position his feet downward to get them off with relative ease. His pants, when Velcro'd, limit his sitting. It might just be mine but he'll fall back when he sits when he wears them. Also, my boy's legs are uneven. XD It looks like his left leg is a tad sorter than the right, but it doesn't hinder posing. :S After a bit of play, when I lean him far enough Holt can sit, although it's a bit awkward. I think I actually 'lock' his leg into place or something. I'll have to look into it more when I get back from work. Oh, and when I took him out if his box his arms weren't connected. |D I think who ever boxed him had a hard time working with the sleeve, so they just shoved the arms in and went from there. :D Two are home, get to split one during the weekend! weeeeeee~ ♥

DotD Clawdeen "Review" and Squee

:3 My mom dropped off my DotD Clawdeen, Lyca, yesterday. I de-boxed her and then remembered the 'warnings' about her and her outfit. I want to get her new shoes because I, personally, hate the gold heels she comes with. 8|" I like that they're solid and will stay on, but it feels like they stay on too well (I also think they look ugly) . And if you're not careful with removing them they could damage her fishnets. Her left leg already has a hole forming at the toes. I haven't put her on her stand yet in her default outfit, but the Scream Uniform made it without any trouble. I read that the stand had caused rips at the seams with the DotD outfit, so I don't know if some of the holder-dealies were smoothed or not or if some outfit just weren't put together properly. And then I saw her hair. Did Mattel dunk her head in glue or something? 'Cause it felt like it. I think some people like the style and didn't want to ruin it, so they didn'

Going to get things together and hope for de-stressing.

It's obvious that I've had a change in focus with this hobby. I'll get back to loving on BJDs in the Spring/Summer time when I should  be done buying presents. I might just stick to ah, softer plastics until then. I think as I'm making preparations for Maintenance, I'll stick to buying Pullips and Monster High related things. (Only because those are cheaper and I can get better support from the fam.) Maybe I'll lead down completion paths faster with them? Two Pullips (A Dal-boy and Isul) and five MH students shouldn't be too hard. I hope. Time to get to work! *Lists*

Flickr is becoming a bad influence.

I wanted a DotD Clawdeen because of owner pictures on Flickr and now I want some Dynamite Girls outfits from the 'Electro Pop' line for Deuce and Lyca. They're really starting to grow on me and I WANT RAVER-DEUCE >:c *Cough* I think that they will help make my dolls' wardrobe to not be so bland. I've been thinking about my 'MH Wish List' and how I've situated everyone one. So far it feels like all of my dolls are in a sort of 'clubhouse' setting. |D The guys (Lyca included) meet up at one place, lounge around, and "depend" on Mom!Lagoona for food and advice. XD Personally, I can dig it. And now I'm bummed that none of my dolls are actually here. ;-;

And now I feel one with the community.

Moms bought me Dawn of the Dance Clawdeen. :3 Who I've decided to rename and made a profile for . She also got me her Soccer Uni. My Holt Hyde is currently shiiiipping. ♥ As soon as my split partner comes back from England-land, I'll have Deuce. & I want Lagoona and Jackson. :] Plus with the other things I have ordered, I cannot wait for packages to bombard my house >:) *Prepares*

Justice For All! Not too shabby of a haul.

I forgive my local Justice for being short of Monster High stock the first time I was there. I didn't know parents stalked your store. And I'm sorry that you sold out of my favourite ghoul, Lagoona, two days after your latest shipment. If I had known sooner I would have bought her then. And I'm sorry you guys don't have a stable shipping schedule. It probably bites to have silly collectors ask you every other day when you'll get more dolls. Now that that's out of the way, I went to Justice earlier today to see if they updated their stock and whoa , did they. I finally saw Ula D, Frankie, Clawdeen, and the DotD girls in real life. Plus they had more of the ragdolls and the Scream Unis. I bought a Deuce ragdoll and his uniform, since I'm in a split and will be getting him soon. I was hoping for Lagoona (and Holt) too but she was long gone. Then I went store hoping to see if anywhere else had her but they only had her ragdoll version. ...I really should

stuck inside, snowy takeover. should probably do some crafting.

David's outfit needed some minor finished, but Kei was alright with how it was and now he's back home :3 Gammon still doesn't have a wig, because the colour didn't seem to suit him. So I made one for Rumore instead c: I really like him with red hair, he looks good. NOW ALL MOST OF MY DOLLS HAVE WIGS. :DD My friend's doll arrived during the weekend and we've been trying to set up a time for her to get it. We're hoping on today, but with all of the snow her Puki might be staying here for awhile longer. I'm sort of... stuck in hobby right now. I'm really interested in Pullip dolls, but I've spent a lot on BJDs so I don't know if I can turn tail or not. And I really don't want to sell the dolls I have (I do intend to give some to friends), but that would be a good way to make cash back and use it for Pullips. :c I'll figure out what I want.. .
