Beanie Babies

Posted by dollsaga on January 12, 2008

I received 3 dolls this weekend. 2 enchanted enveing girls and 1 Cher– this seller is really nice, she gave me a set of 2 Beanie bears as gifts: Mellenium & Erin. They remind me of Float & Flitter. Maybe I should sent them back to eBay since I dont play Beanie Babies. but they are not so sellable.

I have finished rerooting 2 cher dolls, but the purple paint doesnt work so well, so I am having trouble to repaint one doll’s lip. they are the same brand paint, why some color work out wonderfully, some colors suck!

a new cher

Posted by dollsaga on January 10, 2008

I bought “Timeless Cher” from eBay. not the lowest price, but not the highest either. $83.99. I have seen some auctions ended at $63, some went up to $114.  I would not have that kind of luck to get her at $63, so $83.99 is acceptable.

Now I need to get rid of 2 “Turn Back Time” Cher… okay, that would be this weekend’s challenges.

Deirdre of the Ulster

Posted by dollsaga on January 7, 2008

This nasty woman at BC said Deirdre was not my doll since my first experience with TRU wasnt so pleasant,  the truth is  I wasnt happy with TRU’s store policy, but I was happy with their staffs.   To show this woman she is more my doll than hers,  I went back to TRU and bought 12 of her! if the LE 999 was true, hey,  I bought more than 1%! not only she is my doll, she is my fortune doll as well!

eye of the beholder

Posted by dollsaga on January 1, 2008

it’s all about culture differences, people have different ideas of Beauty. Mattel’s designers may be very pleased with their “Chinese Barbie”, but she would never have  market  shares in China.  She would be the Wallflower forever!Although I  didnt like this doll,  I was forced to buy her when the eBay Seller put her & Fashion Fever Drew together  as a lot. What a great combo! Since the price of this lot didnt go up, I bought them back.   The More I looked at her, the more I couldnt bear her, I finally removed all of her face paint and gave her a new makeover,  she looked better, but I wasnt  impressed.   I had to threw  her back to eBay, fortunately, someone took her home. Thank God!

She is dressed up with Japanese Kimono–well, for many doll collectors, they cant tell the differences between Chinese & Japanese.
