Busy 2022 and Update on Dolls: FR Nippon Primrose Misaki and Others...

It's been over half a year since I posted because I've been busy with life (mainly being active during the election season, lol). Anyway, I've got some dolls that I've been wanting to share, but I've yet to organize all my stuff. I've recently acquired two Misaki dolls (Retro Girl Misaki and the 80's Girl Misaki) and I'm just so in love with them. I'm still not sure if I'd ever have the time to unbox them though. Lol. I've also gotten a couple of my first Poppy Parker Dolls (Gorgeous Poppy Parker and Resort Ready Poppy Parker) and again, they are too lovely for words! I cannot believe it took me forever to get myself some of these beauts!

I am now rambling, but I wanted to share this new Misaki doll called Primrose Misaki that was announced last week, and I'm telling you, I literally gasped when I saw her. She's just so beautiful, and her dress is to die for. I'm hoping I'd be able to get her.






This FR Nippon Primrose Misaki was designed by Integrity Toys designer Mark Tinkey, and she looks absolutely incredible!

Anyway, this is just a quick update about life and the dolls I've been collecting overtime. Hopefully, I'd have more time to share them soon. I know blogging isn't relevant anymore but f--it, I'm still going to do it. lol. Ta!

Throwback: My Leyla Muslim Dolls!

These are my Leyla Muslim Dolls which I bought years ago, and I am posting this because when I saw them, I couldn't seem to recall where I bought them. I know that it's not from any online shop, so it's probably from some convention or local stores in my area.

I just decided to write this because a friend of mine posted on Facebook that he's looking for a Muslim doll. People were quick to reply that he should get the  Barbie designed after Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, part of Mattel's  "Sheroes" series. Then, I recommended getting these beautiful Leyla dolls. They are depicted as Muslim dolls wearing two-piece satin Abaya and satin Hijab!  I think they look more authentic! They actually kinda reminds me of the Jenny / Licca dolls from Japan, in terms of their bendable bodies.





I'm actually not sure how much I got them last time, but they are still apparently available online - I saw them at https://muslimdolls.com, and they retail for $29.99 plus shipping! I haven't opened them, and I don't think I'd sell them anytime soon, but it's lovely that Muslim girls could get this doll that actually represents them. I hope to see more of these Leyla dolls, and I may have to research more about the company.

Lucille Ball's Barbie I Love Lucy Sales Resistance Doll 2004 and The Barbie Tribute Collection 2021!

Just because of the upcoming release of "Being The Ricardos (which is a biopic of the one and only Lucille Ball,) I thought of featuring the most recent recreations of Lucille Ball Barbies. They are the I Love Lucy Barbie in 2004, and The Lucille Ball from The Barbie Tribute Collection released just this year!


Here's the trailer of Being The Ricardos which is scheduled to be released by Amazon Studios in a limited release on December 10, 2021, prior to streaming on Prime Video on December 21, 2021.





Lucille Ball Barbie Tribute Collection Doll


Barbie I Love Lucy Sales Resistance Doll Episode 45 Collector Edition (2004)




I loved both versions, although 2004 has more nostalgic vibes in it since she's wearing her garb from the 'Sales Resistance' episode of I Love Lucy!


Which one do you like more?
