such a shame the west hasnt caught onto how cool magical girls are beyond like. sailor moon.. bc now this is weirdly specific but i wanna see a magical girl themed doll line. magical girls r like. the perfect concept for dolls. the outfits. the colours. a lot of doll lines have some kind of lore attached to them which magical girl plots are typically simple enough to work with for that kind of thing. im just saying
Hey y'all! Sorry if everything's been quiet. There's been some personal stuff going on in my life. So I haven't been motivated to post on Tumblr beyond my main blog.
So, I've noticed that this blog has been gaining more traction lately. So I'm going to try to keep it as active as I can.
Lol Surprise Tweens Series 5 coming soon for $19.99
Stock photos of the dolls show no wrist articulation and no doll stand although the description for each dolls says that they do. It is unclear at this moment what the truth is.
there's a right-wing knockoff of Bluey called Chip Chilla. nothing is sacred in this world. Conservatives always complain about cartoons "not being for kids" (read: having LGBTQ+ representation), but Chip Chilla isn't for kids either - it's only for pearl-clutching moral guardians who want to feel good about the shows their children watch.
It's like how that doll line, Lammily, wasn't actually targeted towards kids or doll collectors -- it was only for parents and Buzzfeed bloggers who wanted a "wholesome" alternative to Barbie. Lammily faded into obscurity while Barbie is still going strong, so I don't think we have to worry about Chip Chilla replacing Bluey. Also, Rob Schneider is in it...gross
My friend's doll collection was stolen on May 19th by his shitty landlord. Charges have been filed, but the landlord and the moving company he used to transport the dolls and other stolen property have been uncooperative in giving the information needed to trace and recover the dolls.
I'm asking that this post be shared as far and wide as possible so he has some hope of getting his most beloved and distinctive dolls back.
If anyone sees a massive dump of Ringdolls and Dollfie Dreams on Mercari, eBay, or Facebook, especially in/around/from the Louisville, KY area, please contact me so I can let him know.
I will update as we assess the full extent of the loss, but the dolls we're asking people to keep an eye out for at the moment are
Ringdoll K fullset edition with attached hair, NS. No outfit. Distinctive features: One magnet fell out and was put back in back upside down, so his headcap doesn't stay closed.
DIM Minimee Ruki head, NS. Distinctive features: Vampire mod.
Custom House Mina (both Saint Mina and LE Sad Mina), NS
Ringdoll Quiz, GS, fullset
Bobobie Pixie. Distinctive features: sky blue skin that yellowed to a minty color. Probably wearing green pajamas with brown airplanes made by me.
ResinSoul Yao, WS. His first doll, probably yellowed a fair bit by now. Distinctive features: a small chip on one of her horns.
DIM Minimee heads of all Gazette and Dir En Grey members. If these turn up as a lot, contact us, it's probably them.
Soom Dain
Soom Dawn
2 60cm Sweetdolls, NS
HZ WangYe head
This ResinSoul Dai and 1st gen Bobobie Apollo, probably still in these outfits
Any dolls that appear in a large group with these should be reported.
I will update tomorrow with more specifics on the missing Ringdolls and DD/DD mods when we've had a chance to sit down and assess the extent of the theft.

Thank y'all in advance for any help, he's gutted over this and I am on his behalf. Still in shock that there are people this vile in the world.
For those of you that don't know, American Girl and Harry Potter have collaborated to create a collection of doll outfits and accessories. Naturally, transgender, nonbinary, and Jewish fans, as well as fans of color are furious about this. Not only are JK Rowling's ideas offensive and dangerous, they directly contrast with American Girl's values.
Okay, so context: Elvira Taylor is a doll reviewer known online as ‘the doll circle’ and when posting things to her tiktok in anticipation of her review of the Bride of Frankenstein giftset she thought it would be fun to make light of Jeffrey Dahmer & his crimes in this way. She’s since taken the tiktok down and turned comments off on that platform but not before the video could be saved to call her out about.
To say I am disgusted is mild. As an adult doll collector myself I am not mad at a darker sensibility or humor but to make light of a real serial killer and how he preyed upon and murdered vulnerable people is a step too far and the main goal of reposting this is to spread awareness of the kind of person she is/what she values - at time of posting she has/had a lot of true crime things in her stories - on the off chance any of you are subscribed to her and want to potentially rethink engaging any further with her or her content.
