Continuing on with my doll show goodies. If you missed the post yesterday, go back and take a look at the $5 doll houses I found. Today I am showing the dolls and the clothes I purchased yesterday. Nothing was over $5.
Let's start with this awesome $5 action figure of Jack Sparrow.
I don't think his boots are removable, but I may consider rebodying him on a different body in the future. He's so handsome! I'm looking for suggestions on how to incorporate him into my stories.
More action figures I purchased for $5 each.
I can always use more African American men. One of these guys may play the principal at Tyler's school. I hope he's ready for Vanessa.
I wanted to show the three piece gas mask this figure came with. I primarily bought him for his clothing.
This complete set was only $5.
Here's a closer look at the snow shoes and the folding gun.
Look who else was there for $5. Liam!
This dealer also had a few Barbies that were $3 each. I loved the outfit on this one. She's one of those Barbies with the colored legs. I may use her head.
This dealer had some clothing. Most of this is male clothing, and he threw all of this stuff in for free.
Here's a closer look at some of the pieces.
I found Happy Meal Todd at another dealer for $5. I've been wanting him for a while.
Each of these dolls were $2 ea, fully dressed. You can't beat that. I bought them from the same dealer who sold me the houses. Most of them I bought for the clothing. This is one of my favorite dealers. I always get great stuff from her for incredible prices.
I'm not sure which Fashion Fever Teresa that is, second from the left, but I love her. And yes that is an articulated High School Musical (Troy?) doll.
There was one articulated doll in the bunch. The doll on the far right came with a second outfit, too.
The same dealer threw this package in for free. We love free. My teenage girls will love this.
She also threw in these roller and ice skates for free. The red one is missing the rollers on one of the shoes. I took it anyway. I may be able to make a match for it.
You get such cool stuff, we don't get any of that in South Africa but I suppose it doesn't matter. We make the best of what we get. hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteDuke of Swann - How did I not know you were from South Africa? That's so cool. I think you are my first South African blogging buddy.
DeleteWow...Those outfits... I am a bit envy :)
ReplyDeleteJack Sparrow can be a new musician figure who looks after a new band :) Or he may play an acoustic guitar alone with a personality like Roux's in Chocolat (also starring Johnny Depp :) )
Rosemary - Now if I can just get all this stuff and the rest of the stuff organized, I will get a lot better use of it all. Thanks for the suggestion for Johnny Depp.
DeleteThe $5 houses, dolls, clothing, and accessories were pure steals. With bargains like this, I would never miss this show!

DBG - I always make out like a bandit at this show. I have done really well the past 4 yrs.
DeleteHello from Spain: I love the variety of clothes that you bought. Todd is also lovely. Great shopping. We keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteMarta - Thanks. I hope next week to get my doll room a little more organized. It's much more fun playing when everything is easy to find.
DeleteJack Sparrow could be a biker, a musician, or work at the local tattoo parlor. (IS there a tattoo parlor in Morristown?Would you want one?) Or just a regular guy. That look is not that usual these days! He could definately work at a music store. Is it just me, or does Flaves Liam look like Justin Timberlake? I just got that blue legged girl today in a bag of dolls at Goodwill. She's beautiful. Is the black haired doll, (next to the blonde doing the karate moves), Veronica from Archie?
ReplyDeleteTam - After reading all the comments, Jack Sparrow, the biker is a definite possibility. There's no tattoo parlor in Morristown. I don't have anything against them, but I don't have time to give the dolls tats. I barely have time to dress them. lol. Liam does resemble JT. I think that is Veronica. I hadn't noticed it until you said that.
DeleteOhh,My...
ReplyDeleteReading this post we can really feel that USA is the perfect country for dolls LOL! I'm glad you have LIAM now!
He is special!Mine was a gift in 2011 from John Primm.
I love my Liiam so much!!And I Have the same glasses he's using in the photo...Never seen this with some friend before...
Your stories have now lot of great things!!
Congratz Vanessa And Thanks For The Return To My Blog!!Hugs From Brasil
Jorge - Yes, I finally have a Liam doll. I'm sure he will make friends quickly here. At the doll shows, you run into a lot of dealers that are just trying to get rid of stuff. So there are always great deals.
DeleteOh wow! Really great shopping! Everything looks so interesting, haha, now I regret I'm not living in US!
ReplyDeleteAs a big fan of super beautiful Johhny Depp I couldn't stop to stare at Jack Sparrow action figure, it's very well made.
jewel snake - I always find the best stuff at this show. I couldn't believe I found a Jack Sparrow doll for $5. I was super excited.
DeleteNice haul! I love Liam and Todd. Maybe I'll be able to go next year. I'll need to start saving now so I don't blow out my bank account then! LOL. Is the show always held in Marietta or does the venue change from year to year? :-)
ReplyDeleteCindi - The Nov show has been at the Cobb Civic Center for many years. It almost didn't happen this year, but they changed their mind at the last minute. Tyler and Dillon will be happy to meet Todd.
DeleteCongratulations on this shopping trip, Vanessa. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteMaybe your new JD could be a reggae artist. Or a member of a reggae band?
D7ana - Thanks! I was quite happy with my purchases. Reggae artist is a great suggestion. I was thinking biker after seeing all the comments, but now I'm back on the fence. I will take my time and let it all marinate.
DeleteYou got some really great deals! And you can't beat the free stuff!
ReplyDeleteRoxanne - I focused on getting new men, first. I really need to start using more of the clothes I have here. So many of the clothes I bought from the last show have yet to be worn.
DeleteFelicidades por tus excelentes compras.
ReplyDeletelindaivette - Gracias. Yo estaba muy contento.
DeleteBoy! Did you score! Somehow I can see the basement a little crowded with all the houses now. Your Realtor is going to be quite busy now. I have the Jack Sparrow and the Will Turner action figures. The boot thing is a pain. I put the knicker on my Camille
ReplyDelete(Happy Family Grandmother). They look good with boots and a sweater! I have the HSM male and the Teen Skippers. Teen come in useful. I love the Asian dress and the Veronica doll. I think the Teresa is a Cali without the big feet. I think the AA figure with the red knees should be the Principal. He looks like he means business! You need that in a principal! Now I really miss the Black doll show here! Boo Hoo!
Ms. Leo - Yes the basement would be very crowded if I had all the houses displayed. Most of the houses are kept folded up and are only taken out when I need them. It helps to keep it from getting overcrowded down there. You said Teen Skippers. Is there more than one Teen Skipper in my stash? I only noticed one. I agree that the taller guy would make the better principle. He has that look.
DeleteFrom the picture, it looked like the blonde in the green pants was a teen Skipper too!
DeleteWoW! I love everything! You did good girl! Oh, how about making Jack a biker dude?
ReplyDeleteGrandmommy - Not bad for almost not going. Now I just need to get back to telling more stories. All of these people need to get to work.
DeleteWow! I'm completely speechless! Even better than Flea Market :D
ReplyDeleteV - I was quite pleased with my finds! Very happy I decided to go.
DeleteI love the new gear & men! The clothes as always have swagger. Can't wait to see how you incorporate them. I'll be playing catch up on you blog to see what I've missed. Been gone too long.
ReplyDeleteSonya - Hi dear! Thanks for visiting. Hopefully this means you are back to blogging. I'm coming to check.
DeleteWow, wow, wow. I want something like that!!! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAna - Thanks!
DeleteWhoever owned those action figures really kept them in great shape. All their outfits look crisp and clean. You got some great stuff!
ReplyDeleteMuff - You should have seen all the rest of the action figures. There were some really nice ones, but they were more than $5, so they had to stay.
DeleteWhat an amazing haul. You must have had a great time. And now we can't wait for the new dolls to appear in your stories.
ReplyDeleteCarrickters - I am never disappointed at this show. I plan to use all of the men. We may only get to see a couple of the ladies.
DeleteGreat purchases and even greater prices! I love the teenager fashion set!
ReplyDeleteRossetti - I am going to try to incorporate most of these items in the stories quickly. Especially the teenager clothes. My teenagers don't get seen often enough.
