This is the stock outfit and accessories the doll comes with (my doll came with two of the same hands for some reason, not sure if that is a mistake or if it is just meant to be an extra?):
And here are some comparisons between the current Pullip type 4 body and the Woori body articulation:
There was also what I think is a stand in the box, but I can’t figure out how it works so if anyone is familiar with this style of stand let me know (if it helps it is very bendy?):
So this is rather ad hoc and not remotely the project I meant to work on today, but after seeing that post from @dollsorwhatever about her recent 'Blyth' acquisition I started to get nostalgic for the Fake Blythe Wars of 2001--which is to say, that period when it seemed like every doll company on the planet was desperate to ride the coattails of the Kenner Blythe renaissance. Many tried, really only one survived, but the doll market was irrevocably changed. We're still seeing the effects today in the form of lines like Decora Girlz, and...basically every doll MGA has ever made. But in the beginning there were the few, the great, the largely forgotten--Little Big Eyes, and (slightly less forgotten) Diva Starz. Both tried to capture that Blythe mystique, both largely failed, but they still managed to create some pretty adorable dolls in the process. I must admit I've neglected these girls rather badly, but now that all the old gang is coming out of storage, it's only right that they should take their place on display again.
L: Little Big Eyes; these dolls didn't have individual names, I called her Violet. Only thing original on her is her denim jacket, the rest is mostly Barbie. Boil perm curls still holding strong after 20+ years.
R: Fashion Diva Starz Miranda, from the glow-in-the-dark line. TBH I don't remember much about Diva Starz other than that they shared the shelves at TRU with other dolls I found more interesting. In retrospect I wish I'd given them a bit more attention.
L: Modern knockoff Blyth, easy to find if you know where to look. Mostly just here to look pretty and show what her predecessors aspired to. I do have an *actual* Blythe, but she's still in storage and probably too fancy to hang out with these femmes anyway--
R: Pullip Bouquet, working on her Weird Barbie vibes. Knows she's the the only true success story in this lineup, but staying pretty chill about it.
I got my dolls reorganized after my dad and I put together the new shelves. I think it's looking snazzy and I'm excited to give a brief doll collection tour. My collection has several different types, though I'd say Rainbow High and Barbie are the majority of my collection. I know I probably have too many, but I love them. One of my all time favorites is still my Kida doll because she was my favorite princess as a kid. I have a hard time picking favorites though.
Last week I said I was going to pull out some of my Pullips for pictures this past weekend, so of course I ended up having no time. I did have a little bit of time today to pull out my Little Dal /Picco Neemo hybrid for some quick pics. I love the way the Picco Neemo body looks with the mini Pullips and Dals, so much nicer than the bodies the minis come with, and the combo creates a great little travel doll.
And to make traveling easier with this tiny (or any of my tiny bjds) I got this cute glasses case, which makes it easy to pack up a tiny and go:
