Okay terrible quality (screenshot from tiktok) and it may just be fake (no hate to the original creator, I truly have no way to verify tbh) but I'm begging and pleading for this to be real. I need a Shera doll with the power sword !

Like look at her! I hope shes real and coming soon bc this is a need. Not a want. A need!

I've been so insanely busy and stressed lately but I made a lil cafe for my dolls! Cutting the window holes was a pain tbh but I like it so far.

Ver obsessed with re-ment (though the price is insane to me) and the teeny tinies at 5 below, both used to decorate

too many ppl who know nothing about Filipino folklore n culture r talking shit about my ate. she’s based off of the manananggal, which you can compare to the European vampire, if that helps you understand it better. although, i’m reluctant to mention that becuz some ppl, who choose to be ignorant, currently hold the view that she’s just an Asian-colored vampire mishmash monster. she is not. other than the fact that she manages to exist at all, here are some details i appreciate about her.

first, she has a face that looks like my family’s. that’s my lola’s nose. that’s my mom’s birthmark. shit, those are my uncle’s cheekbones. the headpiece features jasmine, our national flower. the translucent petals are cool.

second, you can display her in two pieces, split by the torso. its not just a “cheap gimmick” you ignorant pos. at nightfall, the manananggal severs itself in two, leaving behind a vulnerable lower half while its upper half hunts for nourishment - blood, raw hearts, livers, fetuses. the red fringe represents her dangling intestines, hanging loose as she flies after ripping her body apart. the string detail is on the skirt for consistency, but also, intestines are long as fuck? why wouldn’t they also hang from the bottom, assuming they also get split in half.

while we’re on the outfit, the top is an extremely traditional (Spanish colonial, ugh) style in both fabric and shape. i have attire that looks exactly like it, minus the monster high red foil pattern. the tiny, “woven” sleeve cuffs are a nice touch. the earrings and bracelets look to be woven palm too, but aren’t as effective in plastic. the bottom half skirt is quite a bit shorter than is traditional, and the heels higher. it’s a monster high doll.

most accurate would be barefoot, tbh. but you guys would riot, and again, its a doll. actually, the shoes reference a lot from Filipino culture. the heel is a coconut tree overlooking a kubo, a one-room stilt hut built with natural materials such as bamboo and palm, and specifically made to be remade as necessary. the sole is “wooden”, also an accessible material of which some shoes were made with. it is attached by braid to what looks to be a straw strap. also not unusual for a shoe.

her fan and wings feature embroidery, and if you look closely at the latter, you will see a thin and delicate flora design in between the spider web pattern. this is extremely reminiscent of calado, a type of traditional hand embroidery akin to lace that is difficult as fuck. a dying art, btw.

i didn’t wake up looking to ride this hard for a plastic woman lmao. but if you’re gonna come for her, it better be because of the fluorescent green in her colorway and not because you don’t know what you’re talking about. honestly, a lot of Filipinos are just happy to be considered and celebrated. “wins” like this mean everything. maybe it’s not good enough for your collection, but now you know more about my culture than you would’ve gone out of your way to. and that’s good enough for me.

Its the ppl looking at the trademarks and doing the important work like this that really makes me happy!!

Thank you for your service !!

Okay, so a new Mattel trademark for River Styxx was found to be active just like last year when they trademarked "Cupid Asteria" and now we have G3!Cupid.... So does it mean that we will get River on G3 as well??

Not gonna lie, I was NOT expecting her to be brought back, specially since I'm pretty sure - but I could be wrong though, any one knows the info? - that Kiyomi Haunterly or Porter Geiss are the more popular new ghouls from the Haunted G1 movie, but I'm definitely not upset since I think she's cute (though I don't remember much of her as a character, so I might have to rewatch it)!

Given that they even brought MOUSCEDES KING back from G1 and gave her a fabulous redesign, I'm excited to see what they can do for River on G3!!

[dollsdreams]

Yes!! I saw her on the tiktok and went hunting in Walmart today! I could not find her on the app for some reason though.

On a side note, I did want to say her dress transfered color/stained her arms, so be warned!

I found the Jem and the Holograms doll at Walmart! She's about $25! I was so excited to find her, as my mom introduced me to this show as a child.

(I have my reproduction barbie wearing the Jerrica outfit she comes with! Though the sash on that is something I added to make her more biblically accurate lol)

She's truly, truly outrageous!

Non-doll related. But I had to share to my other blogs.

Love and kindness to all, especially those in Louisiana and anyone who may be targeted because of the events.

Peace, love, safety, and hope to all new orleans and louisiana residents.

Remember Islamophobia will NOT be tolerated. not on my accounts, and not with myself ever.

Im not sure what's going on entirely, and i don't trust the louisiana government to accurately depict what's going on.
