Blythe Loves Littlest PetShop

I think Blythe dolls are cute but Petite Blythes are so much cuter! I didn't expect the "Blythe Loves Littlest PetShop (LPS)" toy series to be available here since Blythe is not really a popular doll locally. (Heck, I don't even have a Blythe. I settled for a clone!) So imagine my surprise when I saw a couple at the Toy Kingdom. I was thinking it over since I already ordered one from eBay and should be with me by the month's end...but this is a different variant from what I ordered. And she has two cute sunglasses! Forget the pets.

Sold at PhP1200, it a good price compared to those from eBay (including shipping) minus the long wait. Unlike the non-LPS Petite Blythe, these one don't have the sleeping eyes. Good enough for me.

Now Potpot has a littlest sister. I'm gonna call her Petpet.

Heidi Ott dolls and some dolly delights

I have been working for a promotion that's why I have less time for dolls lately but when my Heidi Ott dolls finally arrived, I felt I have to give in to some play time!

Heidi Ott Dolls are high quality 1/12th (dollhouse) scale dolls that can be redressed. The adult dollhouse dolls are made of 34 body parts which are manufactured in Germany, then assembled, and ultra sonically welded together and hand finished in Switzerland. The body has 14 movable joints, the heads are hand-painted and some have mohair wigs. The elderly dolls have a soft cloth pose-able body instead. Some outfits are sold separately.

I got myself two male dolls. The above photo shows the size comparison with other dolls (Takara Compact doll, Britney Spears doll and Aaron Carter doll). The first doll on the left is a mini clone while the jointed lady is unknown to me.

I have plans for my two Ott dolls. I want to tan them, repaint their faces and create new hairstyles for them. I'll sew clothes and make them shoes and build them a small dollhouse or room boxes, and I don't mean the ones made of cardboard like I did for dolls their size before. I want these new ones to be more permanent so I need to plan carefully. I want a rooftop garden, something like Tuesday Taylor's penthouse apartment. Sounds ambitious enough? Oh well, I have to start somewhere. I'll just change my plans as I go along. :)

This of course doesn't mean I'm going to ignore my bigger dolls. In fact, I have an on-going project with Michael and Melinda. I saw from a Flickr pal artworks of different fashion packs for the couple.

I instantly got inspired to make my own. I still have to make the closures for the clothes but then I saw an episode on Glee about sex education. The cast had a number where they sang "Afternoon Delight" and they wore outfits similar to "Party Day Blue" so I was inspired to take a picture of Michael and Melinda having some afternoon delight! :)

Audrey's Dilemma

Erica totally feels less matronly with her new hair. With her signature slight, she tries to convince Audrey to change her hairstyle. Audrey realizes that she really can't wear a lot of dresses with her hair and a funny tiara. Woman can't live on gown alone but Audrey feels she'll lose her identity.

What should she do (hairdo)?

Aliesha Grows Up

It has been a while since I saw the BFC Ink dolls on local toy shelves but they don't seem to get sold. I always have wanted to buy one but only for the head. I was thinking of transferring it to a Barbie body. I specially like that they have square jaws unlike typical Barbie dolls and friends. I also like the flip flops although it won't work for Barbie's arched feet. I didn't like that their heads are too big for their original bodies which is typical for MGA dolls. I wasn't going to pay full price for a doll that I only partially like. I waited for the price to be marked down.

The long wait is over. They have slashed the price to half (at Toy Kingdom), so I bought two (Aliesha and Calista). I proceeded with my original plans and saw that Aliesha was gorgeous as a grown woman. I still don't know what to do with Calista so she stays in the box. As for Aliesha's original body, my decapitated Skipper found some use for it.

I must say that I really like a doll when lend itself to other possibilities!
