horror movie where the protagonists assume the creepy, slightly goth woman with the antique doll collection is the killer-

-only to learn that she's completely normal, she's actually married to the woman who owns the spooky bookstore full of Exposition, and the killer is the true crime vlogger who "tipped them off" about her in the first place. he ran out of interesting murders to mine for content, so he decided to create the perfect crime spree with the perfect killer

(she is also either happily childfree OR pregnant with the couple's first baby, but either way it must be stated onscreen. too often in movies- and real life! -doll collecting has been assumed to relate somehow to children or lack thereof, for women)

My Catwalk Kitties / Shadow High hybrid dolls! I adore them. The idea was sparked from @sleepytoycollection and their own Catwalk Kitties hybrid doll.

Dolls deserve big boobs. They aren't sexual. It's a body type. After going down a rabbit hole of dolls and controversies, it's ridiculous.

Bratz was under fire from the American psychology association in 2007 for their dolls promoting a promiscuous lifestyle, and those dolls don't even have large chest?

Like the only time I've seen a doll with somewhat larger breasts (which ya know, people do have even at a young age) are barbies, and the controversial "growing up skippper/growing up glam" barbies, (Google them if you need an actual problematic doll)

Idk what I'm saying here. Just as someone who's been wearing bras since I was 10, it's disheartening to see people saying a larger chested doll would be far too controversial and sexual. Is it the chest that's sexual or is it the adults looking at the plastic doll sexualizing it?

"parents may feel awkward but I don't think children see the dolls as sexy. They just think they're pretty." Dr. Brian Young of the University of Exeter, quoted by bratz spokesperson in 2007

Bratz Slumber Party re-release (2024)

My G3 Clawdeen reroot is finally done! I used an auburn/brown blend of saran with some brunette saran underneath and near the front, thanks to customdollhairau. I then curled it with pipe cleaners and let her soak in boiling water until cool. I'm really pleased it created the style I was after and it's still so soft and shiny! Much better than that awful poly she came with! I put her back in her og outfit for now, with the addition of a Disney ILY4Ever headband which I think really works for her. Hopefully I can find something more fun for her to wear once I get my doll space together!

Asking because I know there are a of other challenge months, holidays, and so on that might make doing a daily photo challenge tricky.

It's impossible to entirely avoid an overlap with something else, but I want to make sure as many people as possible will feel able to participate. It's okay if that means it'll be a while before out first challenge starts! I'll just use the time to polish the plan more.

Rb if you vote so as many collectors as possible can see!!

EDIT: I should probably have explained what this is for those who are new here. I'm attempting to plan a photo challenge month for toy collectors where you can only post about the toys you currently have, and cannot post about any new purchases. This is to encourage appreciating the items you own, and curb FOMO impulse buying instincts. Also maybe just to show off the toys you haven't photographed in a while. There will be themed prompts to go with it. I hope it will be fun!

New Look at Amped Up Frankie!

Why do the dolls you're looking for suddenly turn up for reasonable prices the second you say you're not buying any more dolls?

[marzipanandminutiae]

"I bought a porcelain BJD from an artist whose main gig is making, essentially, pet reliquaries" is a sentence I never thought I'd say and yet...

[pebblebee]

okay so I love all the new pixling designs, and this dragon/alicorn is very fun, but I cannot stop looking at the wing placement and imagining it flying??? the visual of this majestic creature just flapping around, tail in the air, is absolutely sending me I can’t

Target has balloon animal erasers!

Target has balloon animal erasers in the dollar spot/bullseye playground section. 4 erasers for $1, lots of shapes and colors. They are rubbery, flexible, and semi translucent. They look pretty realistic. Shown with a 12 inch Disney ILY doll for scale, I think they would look good with smaller dolls such a Chelsea too.
