Hey, folks. The unboxing continues apace, but I got a bit burnt out on writing commentary, so I'm compiling photos for the rest of the dolls and should catch up on the rest of their posts over the weekend.

In other news, this doll is my whole personality now. The hair, the glasses, the low-key pastel bisexual disaster color coding. I may need two of her 🩷💜🩵😅 (sadly her unicorn companion won't ship for a couple of weeks 🦄❄️)

We're finally getting to the end of the pile 😆 Eight dolls remain, one of which I probably won't fully unbox (for reasons that will become apparent once I get to her). Can we finish the lot today? I'm going to try 😅

Well here's my first (possibly last) RH Color & Create doll. Since these girls are sent out into the world nameless I think I'll call her Branwen.

I ordered this doll because I was curious to experiment with the watercolor/tie-dye gimmick, but until I work myself into the right mood to deal with that amount of mess I'm happy to just leave her as-is (if I catch a sale maybe I'll buy another so I have one to mess around with and one to leave pristine).

I love her deep brown eyes and neutral makeup, but the biggest draw for me was her outfit. Maxi skirt! I think this may be a unique occurrence in Rainbow High.

Here's Dream Besties Brooklyn. I think she has the prettiest face of all the DBs. I like her outfit more than I expected to, so no emergency restyle is necessary this time XD

Her hair tinsel is kind of much, though. Reminds me of those cheap glitter batons with long streamers :/ I may end up stripping it like I did with slime Jade.

Now I'm just missing Malibu & Ken. Will I get them? Eh.

Holiday Unboxing Marathon (23 & 24/?)

Last double unboxing is the Shadow High Storm Twins! I bought these two way back at the end of October, but due to my various health issues I'm only now getting around to freeing them.

Worth the wait though! My camera can't quite figure out what to do with their pale skin, but in person they're quite lovely. Their purple/teal hair blend is one of the best I've seen in RH/SH. Aside from Monique and Shanelle I think they're my favorite Shadow High dolls.

Veronica's bubble gum was visibly wonky in the package when I received them, but I didn't think much of it at the time. It fell off completely while I was in the middle of unboxing them. I wasn't hugely fond of how it looked anyway, so it's no big loss as far as I'm concerned. I may glue it back on eventually, or not. For now it's stowed in her purse XD

Present for my mum: a Lego Julbock for her wintery village.

Closing out the evening with the Madison Twins. They're both stunning, no surprise there. Glad to finally have another Sunny aside from Fantastic Fashion. I can see why everyone says this is her best doll. Luna makes me want to track down the rest of the S1 Shadow High girls I'm missing XD That's a mission for next year.

Y'all. I'm making a concerted effort to not hoard box art, but...this is going on my wall somewhere.

Holiday Unboxing Marathon (19 & 20/?)

And now for something completely different-- Unicorn Academy Ava & Leaf! Winners of the 2024 'Dolls 7yr Old Megan Would Have Lost Her Ever-Loving Mind Over' award XD I wasn't a horse girl back in the 80s, I was a UNICORN girl. And just...yeah, these are it.

I've been coveting these for months, and they do not disappoint. Ava's outfit is a bit basic, but it does a decent job of reproducing her look from the show, while being flexible enough to accommodate for sitting in her saddle, which is pretty much all that's required.

They both have beautiful, silky hair! Nicer than most of the dolls on this list so far XD

can she ride? Yes she can! She balances well in the saddle, and the stirrups have little notches that fit into the soles of her boots to help her stay in place.

Unfortunately, as much as I love these two I'm sad to report this is the first doll I've unboxed in this run with significant factory damage. One of Ava's gloves is defective. This was impossible to see before she was unboxed due to way her hand is positioned in the packaging. I was able to fudge it back together with a small rubber band wrapped around her fingers, but it's still disappointing :/

Aside from that blip, though, I am still extremely happy with these two. CANNOT wait for Lalya & Glacier!

Took forever but I’m finally satisfied with how I redressed these girls. 

I wanted to keep some of the monochrome/rainbow styling elements.

I’ll probably add bits & bops to have Kia’s finished look be more extra. Ribbons through the half up-do, maybe gems/bows on the shorts…and I’m thinking angel wings, to play up the Cupid angle of her character design.

& I’m thinking our other girl needs blush…blue blush.

Holiday Unboxing Marathon (17 & 18/?)

Here's Wave 1 Pixlings Deerlee & Marena. I thought we could dispense with the a photo of their bottles, nothing interesting to see there. I'm going to stop making pronouncements about how I'm not going to buy any more of these things, since my willpower immediately crumbles when I see them on sale for less than $10 XD In my defense I have been finding ways to reuse their packaging for storage and craft projects.

I think this Deerlee might be a new fave, she's right up there with Catlyn & Bearlinda. Her Shimmerverse doll is beautiful, but the sakura theming on this one really does it for me. Marena is a little underwhelming, but I still like her.

Holiday Unboxing Marathon (15 & 16/?)

Morning, all! I decided to switch things up today and post some of the unboxings in pairs, both to move things along a bit quicker and because the dolls I'm matching up are thematically relevant (or in some cases packaged together).

To start things off we have Kitty K in her brand new Neon Pop Stars Tweens incarnation, and her original OMG Remix doll.

I ordered the Tween Kitty K first, but once she arrived I found myself really wanting her OG version. Happily turns out despite being nearly five years old Remix Kitty is easy to come by and relatively inexpensive on the secondary market (I ended up getting her on ebay for about $30 after shipping & tax).

They are both quite cute, but have extremely fly-away hair, though I think that might be due at least in part to wintertime low humidity static. Patting them down with a damp paper towel helped settle it a bit.

Definitely getting some Catty Noir vibes, especially from big Kitty K. Maybe I'll add them to the Lounge Kitties Review XD

As much as I like these two, they are also a fresh, painful reminder of the OMG Fierce Kitty K we were cruelly denied....

Oh! Almost forgot, I'll try out Tween Kitty's blacklight gimmick later when it's dark ;)

Holiday Unboxing Marathon (14/?)

A critter! Sooo, yeah, this was 100% a Tumblr peer pressure purchase 😅 I'm extremely envious of all the VIP Pets/RH hybrids I've seen in the past few months, and have been itching to make my own. Finally managed to get my hands on the one I like the best, so now I just have to see about finding her a body. I think maybe Dia Mante...?

[mythosidhesdollhouse]

Dr. Wurmberg got a green Doll Chateau body and it looks more fitting than the previous body.
