A New Year and a Resolution

Okay, so I'm terrible at updating this...but I'm going to keep at it, I promise. I know I don't have any followers, and I know that nobody cares, but I'm doing it anyway. I got some dolls for Christmas! They are:

1. Dynamite Girls Candy Cane Carnival Eltin
-She's awesome and gorgeous! Once I get back up and running with my doll photography she will be my photographic darling. I've read a lot of remarks online about how disappointed folks were with her, but I'm not at all. I think she fits in just perfectly in my colorful and fun Dynamite Girls collection (which is sorely lacking, by the way!).

2. Dynamite Girls Wave 2 Jett
-One of the 2 Wave 2 girls I was missing, now I'm down to one. She seemed to be selling out everywhere after sitting on shelves for 2 years, and I was starting to panic. She's awesome and flirty, and I'm not giving her up for anything.

3. ITBE Sleek
-I realize that these dolls are basic editions, and they are totally gorgeous (I totally love looking at her), I am a bit disappointed that she isn't more jointed. As she is still a collector's doll I thought she would be of a better quality, but instead she appears more like a sophisticated playline doll than a doll worthy of collecting. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but I'm sad that at a time when the playline giants like Mattel are introducing more sophisticated playline dolls at their typical low price point, a "Basic Edition" means going back in time to sticky, rubbery legs and unjointed arms.

Which doll should I buy?

I think I'm going to spend my next paycheck on dolls. But what should I buy? Should I get an Innoquii (they're so pretty) or a few Dynamite Girls? I'm leaning towards Dynamite Girls before I get too behind. Who am I kidding? I know I'm getting Dynamite Girls.

However, I'm incredibly interested in the new Playline Barbie Fashionistas. Highly articulated playline barbies...doesn't get much better than that...

Dynamite Girls Sale!

Ok, I may be a Jason Wu addict...but I am in love with the Dynamite Girls line. Unfortunately, I haven't had much of a doll budget since they came out 2 years ago, so I've been playing catch up and trying to scoop up these beauties before they are sold out everywhere. I'm still missing a lot, but I am working on it, and luckily Marl & B is here to help! The current Electro Pop releases are all on sale at her shop, and the original Wave 1 & 2 releases are on sale at The Doll Peddlar. Looks like I might be buying some up just in time for my birthday next week! Now I just have to decide which ones fit into my rapidly depleting doll budget.

I adore all of the DG's that I already own, especially the special releases (FAO exclusive Jolly Jett, Spooky Sooki, FDQ exclusive Rufus Blue, Convention exclusive Eltin, Canadian dealer exclusive Dani...). But with the release of the absolutely adorable Boogie Beach collection, I am totally behind...I just hope I can catch up before they sell out everywhere!

Thanks for the sales, doll shoppes! Here's to diving in feet first into the gorgeous DG line...I want them all!
