So I know it's suppose to be top 5 but I couldn't pick five dolls that really made my year so I picked 3.

 

Barbie Fashion Fever Doll (no name): This beauty caught my eye the moment I saw her on F2k's photostream. I made it my mission to get her and I finally did. She doesn't play a huge roll in my doll world, but who know....

 

Integrity Toys Basic Editon Doll: This gorgeous girl has a face to kill. She's stunning and I can't wait to incorporate her into my story line. I need to rebody her as well. Her body is too tall and no articulation. But I love her.

 

Barbie So in Style Baby Phat Marissa: I was so stoked to find out that S.I.S. released a Hispanic doll into their line. I died when I saw this beauty and I was totally bummed that I missed out on the Rocca Wear Marissa but this one is just as cute.

 

So there you have it. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year and here's to another wonderful doll year.

Cinderella has now been deboxed. Lying down. After removing her from the doll stand, there isn't any further restraints to remove from her, except for the wire around the base of her curly bun, and a single tie attaching one of her peplums to the the skirt. I tried to tidy up her curly bun, but one of the curls refused to stay put. I will try again tomorrow. The back of the dress is a very lovely design, with three tiers. The bottom tier is actually a short train.

 

Deboxing the Cinderella and Prince Charming Doll Set. The covers have been removed, and the cardboard backing cut open. The dolls are then freed from the backing, but are still attached to the plastic spacer and doll stands. The backing is then cut off from the base of the display stand. Then the dolls are freed from the spacer.

 

The Cinderella and Prince Charming Doll Set, the third release in the 2014 Disney Fairytale Designer Collection. I got Cinderella today (Tuesday Oct 7, 2014) at my local Disney Store. There were 15 people entered for 16 dolls. She is #4755 of 6000. Her curly hair is in more of an updo than the curly pony tale of the stock image. But that may be just how it was packaged, and may drop down into a ponytail when I debox her. She has exactly the same head position as the artwork and deboxed stock photo, so no Exorcist head here. Here are some preliminary photos of the set boxed, and then with the covers removed. I will be fully deboxing her in the next day or two.

Belle and Beast and Rapunzel and Flynn.

not my photos

Speak your mind, spit it out !

I’m not moving.♫♪♫♪♫♪ ....

 

Les années 80 commençaient à peine et ça s’annonçait super bien.

La chanson française prenait bonne tournure, le rock avec Téléphone et son ‘Au cœur de la nuit’, et même la chânson frânçaise annonçait une ‘nouvelle vie’ avec Michel Jonasz. Un grand souvenir de concert à l’Olympia.

Début 81, sur la base d’une chronique élogieuse dans R&F, je me laissais aller à acheter le premier album solo de celui qui avait osé prendre la place de Peter Gabriel après son départ de Genesis. Le temps d’un double album live, ‘Seconds Out’ enregistré à Paris au Palais des Sports, j’avais pensé que ça allait pouvoir le faire. Et puis non, je n’ai plus rien écouté du Genesis d’après, ou alors par accident.

Encore aujourd’hui, je trouve ce ‘Face Value’ attachant. C’était un album de rupture, ou plutôt d’après rupture. Avec des titres comme ‘the roof is leaking’, ‘I missed again’, ‘if leaving me is easy’, on était dans le lourdement signifiant, mais on était dans le vécu, le mec avait morflé. Les paroles ne faisaient pas que frôler le pathétique avec des ‘if leaving me is easy but coming back is harder’ (elle voulait pas revenir,putain !) mais globalement ça sonnait juste. Et sincère. Et musicalement, ça faisait mieux que tenir la route. Sur-produit (Hugh Pagdham strikes again !) comme beaucoup de choses qui allait polluer ces années 80, la présence des EWF horns, la sonorité presque africaine de certains titres, et même la reprise de Tomorrow never knows, bref l’ensemble faisait mieux que tenir la route.

Cette ‘remastered editon’ parue fin janvier 2016 est bienvenue. Bienvenue parce que sobre : 1 cd avec juste l’album original, pas de ‘alternate take’ ou autre ‘bonus track’, juste un 2e cd avec des versions live et demo que j’écouterai peut-être ou pas.

Car après, faut bien avouer que ça s’est sérieusement gâté, comme tout le reste de la musique des années 80. Au point d’avoir eu pendant longtemps la sinistre impression de m’être fait fait avoir, de m’être laissé prendre par les sentiments avec ce 1er album solo. D’abord, il a continué avec son portrait, en gros plan, sur chacun de ses albums suivants. Pour le premier, ok ça collait avec le titre de l’album et le côté autobiographique de l’ensemble. Ensuite, dès le second, j’ai décroché. Ça puait le procédé, c’était toujours sur-sur produit, et surtout ça n’avait plus aucun intérêt. De la variétoche.

ça restera donc le seul album de Phil Collins que j’aurai acheté.

Bref, comme on dit par chez nous : "Le dernier arrivé est fan de Phil Collins !".

Trop la honte !

 

Un jour, faudra que je parle de mon penchant, coupable, pour les Eagles et les 2 Fleetwood Mac, Rumours et Tusk, cette variétoche américaine du milieu des 70s.

Si si, un jour, faudra.

ça sera comme sorte d'exorcisme.

 

The display LE Aurora doll on the register counter, in front of me.

 

Pre-ordering the Limited Editon Aurora 17'' Doll and the Diamond Edition Sleeping Beauty Blu-ray/DVD at the Disney Store, on July 28, 2014.

 

I got to the store at 7:30 am. At 7:40 am three more collectors showed up, who were all collectors that I knew from previous LE doll releases at the same store. We got a sneak peek at the LE Aurora about an hour before the store opened. At about 9:30 am one more person showed up, who was getting the doll for his wife. Then right before store opening at 10 am, a woman showed up who was looking for Frozen items, and didn't know anything about LE Aurora. It turns out the store had 16 dolls, so the five of us could have ordered three each if there wasn't a limit of one per guest.

 

The manager let me take photos of the display sample LE Aurora as she was ringing me up for the doll and Diamond Edition DVD pre-orders. There was a snafu with the computer system, so no vouchers were printed, so she said the receipts would be good enough when it came time to pick them up on Oct 7. They changed the voucher holders to just cards instead of folders, so they just stapled the receipts to the cards. There was also no longer any discount coupon on the DVD voucher card.

 

The doll herself was gorgeous. The more outstanding thing about her, and which doesn't come out in photos very well, is the magical golden sparkle in the hair made by the golden tinsel. The tinsel consists of very thin transparent threads with tiny golden beads embedded. She looked as though she had gold dust sprinkled throughout her head. The gold thread in her outfit also sparkled in the light.

 

They had some Art of Aurora items for sale, and also some of the other newly released Sleeping Beauty merchandise. I didn't buy any of them, as I had already bought what I wanted online, for now.

here I go on with my London shots from August 2011

  

“With four pages of scenes from the big motion picture starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, Anthony Perkins and introducing Donna Anderson, produced and directed by Stanley Kramer, released thru United Artists.”

 

From the back cover:

 

ON THE BEACH. . . “To miss this book would be to miss one of the century’s greatest tales. . .” – Philip Wylie

 

ON THE BEACH is the story of a small community of men and women who have the courage and faith to love and work and live in the face of imminent death. . .

 

ON THE BEACH is reality just a push-button away. Read it now. . . when you can be sure it’s only fiction.

 

-----------------------------------------

 

A 1959 American post-apocalyptic science fiction drama from United Artists, based on Nevil Shute's 1957 novel of the same name depicting the aftermath of a nuclear war. Unlike in the novel, no one is assigned blame for starting the war; the film hints that global annihilation may have arisen from an accident or misjudgment. [Source: Wikipedia]

It's been a while since the Romantic Era LOVETONES dolls arrived in the last quarter of 2016. Time for a review. They were only available through pre-order per mail after their creator and designer Rocce Liang advertised the option on Instagram and Flickr. There were again two dolls offered, the red-haired Lena and the red-blond-haired Roxy. The LOVETONES dolls were created by doll fashion designer Rocco Liang. Editon size was 150 dolls for Roxy and 130 dolls for Lena. I'm under the impression that they have sold out, as have the original LOVETONES from 2015. They are 1/6 size and can wear Fashion Royalty, Nu.Face and similar outfits. Their bodies are closer to Nu.Face than to Fashion Royalty though.

Romantic Era Lena shipped from Taiwan. She comes with two gorgeous dresses, a fabulous uniform-style jacket, two stylish earrings, two pairs of high-heeled shoes, a decorative ribbon, and a very nice handbag.

 

The Bad

Hard to find anything bad.

Maybe this: The tigh coverings for her gladiator heels have to be stretched to fit over the foot. I fear they will break after being put on and taken off a few times.

 

The Neutral

Neither green stripes in the packaging, no silicon bags. No mold either.

No hair net, hair otherwise in very good condition.

Outfits are in one sealed plastic bag, each sealed in separately. To get at the outfits the plastic bag has to be cut open repeatedly, until it's completely destroyed. Not the best storing option.

Hands seem rather large compared to the head, but in proportion.

Hands can be removed for easier redressing.

Some joints are a bit loose, others a bit stiff. Nothing awkward, but I noticed.

Doll comes with a completely new, metal stand. One holding option: waist hugger. Base is small but works very well.

Certificate of authenticity, edition number (70 of 130).

 

The Good

Great looking and very professionally done packaging.

Improved body (at least my impression)

Wonderful curled and long hair in at least good quality and good condition.

Perfect face paint/make-up/blushing. Gorgeous eyes and eye make-up. (I think I remember that Rocco announced he would touch up every face personally. Looking at my doll it might be true. I just cannot verify that right now.)

Perfectly applied lashes.

Doll stands and balances well on her own mostly.

Very good posability.

Head is clearly smaller than FR heads. Lena looks less doll-like and more like a real model.

Again no tags in her head! :-)

Still unique attitude.

Fun to photograph.

Fabulous designed and more than gorgeous two complete outfits. In fact, it's a gift set.

Great looking and nice feeling skin.

 

Bottom Line

Romantic Era LOVETONES are the the second generation of a new line, so they don't have (most of) the flaws of the original LOVETONES from 2015.

There's very little bad and lots of good! Lena remains a wonderful doll with a fierce attitude and gorgeous looks. Wearing the right fashions and placed in a stylish diorama, she will blow you away.

Without a doubt Lena is worth her prize. I'm a LOVETONES fan, of course I would buy her again.

Is she a must have? No, but to me no doll is. She is a great additon to any fashion doll collection, though she will outshine nearly all other fashion dolls.

The only thing I'm sorry about is that I didn't order Romantic Era Roxy too.

 

10 of 10 points.

 

I sincerely hope these LOVETONES will become a bigger success and there will be more LOVETONES dolls this year. I'd like to see a dark-skinned African beauty to name only one. I'm looking forward to the fashions Rocco will create for his LOVETONES.

 

I used my first LOVETONES review as a starting point for this new review. So if a few sentences feel like you're read them before, you probably did.

 

These are my personal thoughts and impressions, so feel free to disagree.

Thank you to everyone who has been following me with these ooak dolls. It's almost been a year since I started, and I have really come a long way in doll painting, and costume making. Here we have, Maleficent. She is my favorite villain. I loved the way Angelina Jolie portrayed her in the movie. She really brought a new fierce side to the character that I loved! I knew I had to make a doll of her. Her outfit is faux black leather. I loved it because it looked like a dragons skin! Her outfit is lined with the silkiest green crushed satin. Her nice plush velvet skirt is also lined with the green satin. I made all of her accessories, and painted all her details, and made her dress. I also painted her face, and have her real lashes. She is studded I. Glass black beads, and black crystals. I hope you enjoy my new ooak doll!:) and thank you again for all of the encouragement, and compliments! You guys are the best!:)

Location: Düsseldorf - 5003km from home.

 

This week's highlight is this nice G 63 from Abu Dhabi. While Qatari plates seem to occur naturally during summer in Düsseldorf, other Arab plates are a lot less common to encounter, but still more common than in Berlin. It was pretty cool to see a G63 with a push bar, since these are illegal in the EU. What's also illegal are tinted front windows. The plate itself is also fairly nice, sporting only three digits.

Prince Charming and Cinderella deboxed. Lying down side by side.

Ich bin grad total happy =D

 

Aurora ist heute angekommen \o/ - Wuhuuuuu.... kein Makel... alles heil =D (das ist immer meine größte Angst.... dass irgendwas auf dem Transportweg kaputt gehen könnte xD )

 

Sie ist wunderschön <3 <3 <3

 

Ich war ja schon verliebt, als ich die Promo-Shots gesehen hab.... aber jetzt bin ich hin und weg xD

 

Mal schauen, ob ich sie deboxen werde... ich erfreue mich grad noch an ihr... indem ich sie in ihrer Schachtel ansehe xD

Snow White and her Prince have now been fully deboxed. They are posed standing, supported by the built-in doll stands in the base of the display case.

 

This regular version of the Snow White and the Prince Disney Fairytale Designer Collection Doll Set has the same two base dolls as the D23 special edition dolls that I reviewed earlier. That is the dolls themselves are identical in every way (except for the serial numbers on the back of the Prince dolls). They also have outfits of almost identical designs, but made of different materials and with differing colors. So the dolls have different looks, especially the Snow Whites.

 

Snow White has the body of a 2012 Disney Store Classic Princess doll. That is, she has hard plastic legs, with hinged knee joints and ball jointed ankles. She is missing the usual manufacturer's marks printed on Disney limited edition dolls, including the part number and her edition size and serial number. She is also missing the twist waist joint of the previous Designer Princess and Designer Villain dolls. She has a pale complexion, the same as the 2012 Snow White, with whom she shares the same body. However, her neck joint has more freedom of movement, especially downward, and her painted on panties are deep golden yellow, much darker than the 2012 Snow White.

 

Her face mold appears to be the same as the 2012 and 2013 Classic Snow White, but with a considerably different face paint than either of them. She has large dark brown eyes that are glancing to her left, with four short thick lashes over each eye and four very short and thin lashes under each eye. Over her eyes is gold eyeshadow, and thin black eyebrows gently following the curve of her eyes. She also had short rooted eyelashes that are just barely curving upwards, and are even in length. She has a small button nose, a small mouth with blood red lips forming a charming open mouth smile. She has light pink rouge over most of her cheeks, and a round face with small chin. She is a very beautiful and faithful representation of the sweet and charming movie character.

 

Her hair is a considerable departure from the traditional short flip hairdo. Her jet black hair is parted to the left of her head, and pulled tightly over her head into a medium length braided ponytail that tapers down to a point and is secured by black rubberband, and is sewn to her collar on her right side. There is a small amount of hair product applied just above her forehead, to a thin strip of her hair. In my doll, that strip keeps on separating from the rest of her hair. I haven't been able to integrate it with the rest of her hair; perhaps I will have to apply more hair product to keep it place. There is a thin bright red satin ribbon around the top of her head that ends in a small bow at left side of her head.

 

Her outfit is a take on her traditional Princess gown. Her bodice and skirt are separate pieces. The bodice is dark blue velvet with gold piping and elaborate gold embroidery, and decorated with a bow made of metallic gold thread. The floral design is similar to the D23 doll, but differs in its details. She has puffy sleeves of the same dark blue velvet, with separate ribbons of bright red satin that float over the velvet. The sleeves have black lace cuffs decorated with gold hearts, and the oversized collar is pure white lace folded in a fan-like manner behind her neck and head. Her skirt is dark golden taffeta with gold embroidering incorporating fleur-de-lis, flowers and hearts. The embroidery in the skirt is identical to that of the D23 doll. The taffeta gives the skirt has a wrinkled, antique appearance. It has a thin pale tan satin lining. There are golden rhinestones scattered throughout the bodice and skirt of her dress. Under her dress is a floor length white satin slip with the lacey pattern at the hem showing below her skirt. It is sewn to her skirt at two spots at the hem, which I chose to leave alone for now. It is also sewn to the waist band of the skirt, so it is a permanent part of the skirt. She is wearing golden tan flat shoes (or slippers), the same as the D23 doll. It is a beautifully designed and beautifully made outfit that is a darker and more ornated version of the Princess outfit of the movie character.

 

The Prince appears to have the standard Disney Store Prince body, with articulation at the neck, shoulders, hinge jointed elbows, ball jointed hips, and internal knee joints with limited movement. His hands and feet are large, but his head is disproportionately small compared to Snow White. His face has a neutral expression, with small, narrow deep blue eyes, wide mouth and a straight nose. His molded dark brown hair looks okay. His face doesn't look that movie accurate to me; I actually prefer the playline Classic Prince. As with all Disney Prince dolls, he is sturdily built, and can free stand fairly stably. But for safe keeping, it is best to put him up in the included doll stand, which has a wide C-clamp that goes around his waist very snuggly.

 

The Prince's outfit is very well made and fitted to his body. It consists of a dark blue faux leather vest, a bright red velvet and satin cape with gold piping permanently attached at the shoulders of the vest, a dark blue faux leather belt with a gold metal buckle and a short black faux leather scabbard attached, white satin shirt, black pants and black boots with a worn look and creases. In the scabbard is a steel gray sword with a brown handle. The sword is thin and very flexible. It was slightly bent out of the box, but was easily bent back into shape. The D23 Prince's vest is much thicker, and feels much more like real leather than this Prince doll. But this Prince has an outfit that is much closer in color to the movie character. He looks great in his outfit, and very dashing, but I wish his expression had more emotion, and was more cheerful.

Deboxing the Tiana and Naveen doll set. First its protective cover sleeve taken off. Then the acrylic top cover of the display case is removed. It is loosened from the tabs on the bottom of the case, then slowly slid off the cardboard backing. The dolls are now in clear view. They are attached to the backing and various plastic spacers.

 

I purchased the Tiana and Naveen Disney Fairytale Designer Doll Set at my local Disney Store, on its release day, Tuesday September 23, 2014. There were only five persons entered in the drawing, and the store had 15 sets to sell. I got my set and opened it up at the register to make sure everything looked good. They looked perfect to me. I took a quick photo, with permission from the CM. In better lighting, the gold embroidery in her dress was much more impressive than I remembered it from looking at the display dolls. I also looked at the back, and it was #4872 of 6000. That was a nice number to me, so I declined the offer from the CM to look at another set to see if it had a lower number. I will photograph the set boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed. I will also show the set next to other comparable dolls.

Someone I know who works at BMW said that only 50 are made, but I am not sure about that.

 

This edition is only for the NL

I am fortunate to live near a breeding area of Mississippi Kites. Although not as prevelant last summer, they were still around and I was able to get a few shots. This image, though, is from 2008. It was featured in Birder's World magazine, the February 2009 editon, in its Fieldcraft section.

Dans l’architecture civile, on peut considérer que le pas décisif sur la voie de l’italianisme fut franchi à Gaillon. Le cardinal d’Amboise commença en 1502 la reconstruction du château de Gaillon, presque achevé à sa mort en 1510. Les premières ailes, bâties entre 1502 et 1508, adoptent encore le style flamboyant, sans grande trace de renouvellement ; la dernière année cependant, des ouvriers étrangers commencèrent à arriver et un changement de style se manifeste. Parmi les premiers artistes, il y avait un sculpteur génois, appelé dans les textes Bertrand de Meynal. En 1508, il apporta de Gênes à Gaillon la grande fontaine commandée à Pace Gaggini et à Antonio della Porta. Dans la même année un autre italien, appelé dans les comptes Girolamo Pacchiarotti, sculpta l’encadrement du saint Georges de Michel Colombe (actuellement au Louvre), retable de la chapelle qu’Andréa Solario décora de fresques où figurait notamment les portraits du cardinal et de sa famille. Comme à Fécamp, cette première phase : l’importation d’œuvres italiennes, fut le prélude à l’installation sur le chantier de sculpteurs ultramontains travaillant aux maçonneries : dans les parties du château construites à partir de 1508, apparaît une ornementation italienne. On remarquera surtout le pavillon d’entrée dont le décor date probablement de 1508. S’il adopte encore la forme d’une entrée fortifiée d’un château médiéval, les éléments décoratifs sont italiens : pilastres lombards, frises à grotesques et frontons à coquilles au sommet des fenêtres. La disposition des ornements suit toutefois les règles gothiques : ainsi les fenêtres des trois niveaux sont liées les uns aux autres par des pilastres qui les flanquent, formant des bandes verticales semblables, par exemple à celles du château flamboyant de Josselin. Les fenêtres possèdent encore des meneaux : l’usage il est vrai n’en fut abandonné par les Français que bien des années plus tard. A l’intérieur le château reçu une décoration du même style, comme on peut en juger par les stalles de la chapelle, aujourd’hui conservées à Saint-Denis, ornées de délicates sculptures à grotesques. Le château fut aussi entouré de jardins, probablement réalisés par les artistes italiens qui travaillèrent à Amboise et à Blois.

Thank you to everyone who has been following me with these ooak dolls. It's almost been a year since I started, and I have really come a long way in doll painting, and costume making. Here we have, Maleficent. She is my favorite villain. I loved the way Angelina Jolie portrayed her in the movie. She really brought a new fierce side to the character that I loved! I knew I had to make a doll of her. Her outfit is faux black leather. I loved it because it looked like a dragons skin! Her outfit is lined with the silkiest green crushed satin. Her nice plush velvet skirt is also lined with the green satin. I made all of her accessories, and painted all her details, and made her dress. I also painted her face, and have her real lashes. She is studded I. Glass black beads, and black crystals. I hope you enjoy my new ooak doll!:) and thank you again for all of the encouragement, and compliments! You guys are the best!:)

Today I will review my Lovetone doll Lena. I ordered her from the site www.lovetonesdoll.com for 168 $ plus 40 $ shipping to Europe/Germany. There are two dolls offered, the dark-haired Lena and the blond-haired Roxy. The Lovetones doll were created by doll fashion designer Rocco Liang. Editon size is 350 dolls each and both dolls were still available at the time of this review. They are 1/6 size and can wear Fashion Royalty and similar outfits.

Lena shipped from Taiwan and arrived sooner than expected. Lena comes wearing her jumpsuit, one stylish earring, and her high-heeled black boots, with a gorgeous coat, and a very nice handbag (both items I still have to unpack and photograph).

 

The Bad

- Small open seam on her upper left arm and on her lower left leg.

- I don't like the rather large gaps around her shoulder joints.

- The fit of the jumpsuit could be slightly better. My Lena has a tendency to expose her left nipple.

- Two small black spots on her left hip/leg-joint.

 

The Neutral

- There are two green stripes in the packaging, no silicon bags.

- No hair net, hair came twisted in a loose braid, otherwise very good condition.

- The material of the jumpsuit is quite thick and reminds me a little of a thermo suit.

- Boot design is simple.

- Hands seem rather large compared to the head, but in proportion.

- Hands can be removed for easier redressing.

- No certificate of authenticity, no edition number (x of 350).

 

The Good

- Great looking and very professionally done packaging.

- Very long hair in at least good quality and very good condition.

- Close to perfect face paint/make-up/blushing. Gorgeous eyes and eye make-up.

- Perfectly applied lashes.

- Doll stands and balances well on her own.

- Excellent posability.

- Head is clearly smaller than FR heads. Lena looks less doll-like and more like a real model.

- No tags in her head! :-)

- New and unique attitude.

- Fun to photograph.

- Well designed and more than beautiful outfit.

- Great looking and nice feeling skin.

 

Bottom Line

Lovetones is a completely new line, so some first time difficulties are to be expected. The only things I'm not happy with are the slightly open seams and the rather large gaps in the shoulder joints. Both can be covered with fitting outfits.

The good far outweights the bad. Lena is a fresh, new doll with a fierce attitude and gorgeous looks. Wearing the right fashions and placed in a stylish diorama, she will blow you away.

Is she worth the prize? To me she is. Knowing what I know now, I doubtless would buy her again.

Is she a must have? No, but to me no doll is. She is a great additon to any fashion doll collection, though I guess she will outshine most other fashion dolls.

 

So, buy one while they last. ;-)

 

9 of 10 points.

 

I sincerely hope these Lovetones will be a success and there will be more Lovetones dolls in the future. I'd like to see a dark-skinned African beauty, to name only one. A CoA with edition number would be nice then. I'm looking forward to the fashions Rocco will create for his Lovetones.

 

These are my personal impressions, so feel free to disagree.
