Disney Store Releases!

Okay someone stop me before I spend WAY too much money on the "Brave" merchandise! I would go to the store right now, run to the "Brave" section and say: "I want that and that and that....oh and that!", but alas, with the wisdom I have (which is not much for a 12 year old girl) I'm not willing to spend TOO much money on that stuff......just a little?

Tell me this isn't one of the cutest things you've ever seen!

I only wish they gave they individual faces. :(

5 Doll Comparison! (NAKED DOLLS)

Hello people! I got my different types of dolls together and took around 30 photos. I finally got my old quilt back for photos!! Enjoy!

I have 5 different types of dolls. American Girl Dolls, Gotz, Hearts 4 Hearts Girls, Bitty Babies and Alexander Girlz. Please don't disaprove of my pros and cons. Their simply my opinion and you are free to disagree, but I honestly don't want to hear it. ;) P.S. These poor dolls have lost their dignity when they took their clothes off, so please have respect. hehe ;)

1. American Girl Dolls / Pleasant Company
Model: Kendall

Front

Back

American Girl Dolls: 18 inches

Place to buy new: AG Store or Online

Pros:

1. Hair is silky and the best quality.

2. Body is sturdy and stuffed tightly so no squishy spots.

3. Their vinyl is sturdy and not squeezeable (unless put to extreme heat).

4. If not rough housed with, their legs stay tight.

5. Beautifully and realisticly designed faces.

Cons:

1. Very expensive and over the last 3 years, AG have raised the price by 5 dollars yearly. The current (2012) price is $105.

2. If rough housed with, it is hard to re-string your dolls legs and if you want them to be done by the doll hospital it could cost you a lot.

3. Their prone to get marks on their vinyl.

Tags and Marks:

P.S. Any doll made after 2011 have a longer tag and any doll that is with Pleasant Company will have one, short tag. The marks on the back of their necks vary between Pleasant Company and American Girl.

2. Gotz Little Sister
Model: Tess

Gotz Little Sisters: 181/2 inches

Places to buy new: eBay, Craig's List etc.

Pros:

1. Great quality hair.

2. Cute, Bitty Baby like face.

3. Vinyl is also very sturdy unless put to heat.

4. She is built exactly like an American Girl Doll, so it's easier for restringing etc.

5. She can fit into almost anything AG.

Cons:

1. Her body needs more stuffing so she tends to have standing problems and pigeon toes.

2. I don't know why, but she when she stands she tends to have a hunchback look.

3. She is retired so she is harder to find on the market. I got my Tess for around the cost of an AG on eBay. I suggest eBay or Craig's List.

Tags and Marks:

3. Alexander Girlz

Model: Madison

Alexander Girlz: 19 inches

Places to buy new: Costco

Pros:

1. Pretty faces.

2. She has a posable head which is good for photos.

3. Her chest is plastic so it looks more realistic with dresses and sleeveless shirts.

4. She is only around 30 dollars so if something were to happen you would have put a huge investment in her.

5. She can fit most AG shoes and shirts.

Cons:

1. Her hair is horrible quality and comes in tangles. If you plan on having this doll a while, you better have a wig on hand.

2. Her limbs can become loose very quickly so handle with care because they cannot be restrung like AG and Gotz due to her chest.

3. She does not have much stuffing in her stomach so AG pants have a tendancy to fall down.

Tags and Marks:

(If you haven't guessed, shes on an Operation game box)

4. Hearts 4 Hearts Girls

Model: Dell

(Her hair is usually really nice and down, but I have left her hair in french braids for a month or two so it kind of went where it wanted) :)

Hearts 4 Hearts Girls: 14 inches

Places to buy new: Target, Wal-Mart, Toys-r-Us etc.

Pros:

1. She has plastic body so she looks better in certain clothes.

2. She has the best rooted hair I've seen.

3. Gorgeous faces with perfect details.

4. Only 30 dollars per doll.

Cons:

1. She can't be re-strung.

2. She has bald spots.

I did have a few more photos, but I deleted them after I thought Blogger posted it, so sadly this is the end. ;) I hope you enjoyed my comarison post! The next post up should be my (long, long, long awaited) doll room tour! Hooray!!

So Sorry!

Ok.....this may have been the second time I've title a post with that.........that's sad. Anyway, hello followers and viewer who have stuck with me at this point! :) I'm terribly sorry for my absence. You all probably thought I was MIA or something! Blogger and Gmail have been giving me a hard time and I've been busier than I ever have been. I'm hoping to start posting regularly now so please, please have faith in me!

A few updates: My newest dolls are still Mia and Lindsey and I haven't made a purchase from AG in a few months. I think my mom, grandmother and I are going to the AG place soon and I may be getting a new doll with the money I've been saving. :)

My next post should be up in the next day or so and it will be a doll comparison post so stay tuned!! :)

Editors Note: Grr please excuse the graininess of my photo. Since Picnik is gone I'm doing my best to find a new program. :(

I'm Alive! (and other news)

Okay, can I start off by saying I'm: so so so so so so so so so sorry!! I haven't posted since the 22nd!! I guess I took a unannounced break? Either way it's totally my fault and I hope I can back into the swing of things. I was going to tell you what I got for my birthday, correct? Well here it is!!

Lindsey and Mia!! Okay you thought I freaked when I saw Mia? You should have seen my face when I saw Lindsey's book covering the peep hole in an AG box (that I found out Mom had discreatly stolen).  Turns out my mom had Kanani, Mia and Lindsey before Christmas! She just decided what order to give me them in. I told her I thought I was getting Mia for Christmas, so she gave me Kanani. Then I told her I thought I wasn't getting a doll and she gives me two?! That's freakin' awesome. Please don't say I'm spoiled!

I have started a new Flickr account. This one is strictly for "professional" AG photography, etc, etc. My user name is *hopeless agression* but it's written in a weird font. Here's a LINK. I'll give you a preview of what's on my account.

Have a great weekend!!!

Today is the day: 12

It's the big day! (not really) On this day, Feb. 22 I, Mickey's Girl turned 12! So I'm bored but my mom and I are seeing a movie later. Journey 2 or The Secret World of Arrietty. I can't decide.... Their quite different. Maybe I'll do a review on the one I saw.... Am I talking too much? Probably... Haven't been on here in a long time.....sorry.....

Anyway! I'm doing my party on Saturday so I'll do a present post a few days after probably.(Grr.... My mom is singing to Josh Groban....I'm not going to survive this!) I guess I don't have a lot to say. Thanks to everyone who has been following my blog even though I haven't been quite recent.

I gotta go watch Doctor Who.....excuse me! :)

New from AG!

Hey guys! I'm so sorry I've been neglecting my blog. I've been planning my birthday party next week. My dolls have been deciding their wardrobe and cleaning their rooms, so they've been off the computer lately too (probably for their own good) ;) .

Has anyone got the new email from AG? I fell in love with THIS outfit. AG, however, has gone nutzo! 68 dollars for the whole set?!?! I'm not gonna beat them up because people are buying this stuff right? Time for an eBay search! ;) You can check out all the new stuff HERE.

Here's just a few photo from the website:

MEGA Garage Sale Finds!

"Oh jee" is what I thought when I woke up at 6:30am. Let's just say I never have hope of finding actual AG stuff at these places. ;) Well today was different (obviously). When I got there I saw an Our Generation Jeep and Pleasant Company Bitty Baby things. I just knew there had to be something here! I totally would have gotten the Jeep if I hadn't seen the broken top and door. Yeah. That was kind of depressing...... (Oh and just a PS to all of you who are getting excited, (which I don't suppose is many) I didn't find a doll people!)

I next I found a first edition Coconut's doghouse. I was super excited and raced over. Imagine my surprise when I found not only all the pieces that go with it were there but 2 Coconuts?!?!? I could have very easily exploded from excitement there readers! No more post from me! :)

After about 30 minutes of waiting for family, I went back over to where I found the Coconuts. Then I found Coconut's pet carrier?!?! People, don't make me blow up officially! It was only the carrier and didn't have any of the little things. Then I was really happy with my find and wanted to leave. I had to wait a few more minutes so I went back! I absolutely FREAKED! I found LINDSEY'S BAG!!!! I was really hyperventilating at that point! We finally left after I checked the area one more time. (To make sure there weren't any Lindseys!)

Here are the photos of what I got. Sorry about the bad quality they were taken with my web cam, but hooray, everyone gets to see my hair!

These are the two Coconuts. They are from 2004 I think is what I saw and they still have the magnetic mouth and they are very heavy! I have the 2006 version so mine is lighter and slightly smaller. We weighed them for comparison and these ^  weigh 0.66 and mine weighs 0.26 . Jeez these could be paperweights!

I did this for comparison. My Coconut is on the right. He's been used a lot when I was younger and you can kind of tell. He's a bit more brown and not pure white like the ones I bought. My Coco looks more like my Westie! He's a dirty fella! ;)

This is Coco's first edition doghouse! I have the second edition. Sorry, I forgot to do a comparison photo. :( It came with the doghouse, (obviously) the pillow, a doggie mat, and two food bowls. (photos below)

This the actual Lindsey's bag! I've freaking out here!

 The logo changes color!

This is Coconut's pet carrier. (not sure what edition) Sorry it's a bit dark in there! ;)

 This is the luggage tag it say Coconut on the back an a place to put your address and phone number. Needless to say I won't be writing on that! :)

These little AG sized books were in Lindsey's bag. Their not from Lindsey's collection. Does anyone know if these are actual AG? They don't have AG markings anywhere.

 And these are the things that came with the dog house: The reversible doggie mat which has paws on one side an striped on the other. It's a sort of sturdy rubber. P.S. Hey? Anyone like my shirt?? ;)

I also came with two of these. My web cam doesn't focus, but it says "eat, nap, play"

 So hooray! This week was success for me and my dolls!
