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.

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!

NEW: CCS 22ETO Momoko Tiger exuding Bumblebee Realness!

In case you missed it, the PetWORKS store global is currently open, which is the PetWORKs Official Web Shop. They are only open on select dates due to the pandemic, so do take your chance to purchase dolly items.

The schedule of opening "PetWORKs Store Global" depends on the situation of the coronavirus pandemic and the international postal service.

My most recent purchase from them was the Wake-up Momoko Doll WUD027 and a few shoes! (I know, I got to blog about them soon!)

Anyway, this post is mainly about the newly announced Momoko Doll, a gorgeous yellow-haired beaut! OMG! Look at that hair and face! That is some bumblebee realness!

It retails at JPY19,000, so it's not cheap, but she's so pretty, I'm not sure I'd be able to resist her, especially now that I am rekindling this beautiful hobby!

She is set to release this coming December, so if you want to give yourself a gift, this may just be the perfect one for you!

Holler! Here's the Momoko Doll Twenty Colors for their 20th Anniversary!

I'm back. I'm not sure for how long, but damn, I missed blogging. It's been ages since I was here, and a lot has happened. Life, love, this freaking pandemic - but anyway, as my' comeback post,' I want to post something about this beautiful Momoko doll that will be released this month.

If you are new to Momoko Doll, it is a 1/6 scale ( around 27 cm, 10.6 inches) Japanese fashion doll created in 2001 as a side project by a Japanese software company called PetWORKs. The creator was Namie Manabe (真鍋 奈見江), who is also the art director of the brand.

This year, it is celebrating its 20th Anniversary, and I'm glad that I was able to pre-ordered the beautiful and very colorful Twenty Colors  Momoko!

She is set to come out this month, and I'm just so excited! I pre-ordered her from amiami.com, one of my trusted online site when it comes to anime, dolls, and all toy goodies from Japan. I will be writing about her once I receive her!
