Talk about sexy! The articulation on this doll is awesome. As I was taking these pictures, I started getting a Justin Timberlake vibe.
I decided to make Peeta and my Spanish Poppy brother and sister.
Remember this fashion pack I bought at the November doll show? Well I finally got around to trying the outfits on a couple of the girls.
First up is one of the dancing twins, who is on a Monster High body.
Here's the view from the back.
I tried the second outfit on one of the BFC Ink twins. Neither girl can fit the shoes, but I'm pretty sure Barbie can wear them.
Well, well, well. Looks like Halle is packing for her trip with Diego.
On another note, I've been working in my doll room, trying to get it more organized. I really don't want to go into 2014 with the basement in the shape that it is in. I've been distracted the past few months with lots of personal things, and I haven't spent the time needed to get the doll room in order. So the stories will be limited for the remainder of December. Hopefully by January I will be ready to get back to regular storytelling.
Peeta is very handsome! We will miss you for the remainder of December. :(
ReplyDeleteAG Lanc - They did Peeta proud. I didn't say I wouldn't be posting at all. I just won't be doing elaborate stories until next year. I will still post a few stories, but they will be just to show what some of the people are doing. Nothing too detailed.
DeleteI'm really hoping Peeta winds up under my tree! LOL Love him. :-)
ReplyDeleteI will be reducing stuff in my doll room - hear you on the need for organization. Sigh. But that's kinda fun, too.
ReplyDeleteYou've been generous with stories ... I'm going to catch up with any I've missed as well as any you can eek out during the rest of them month. (No pressure ;-D)
Happy organizing!
D7ana - When I haphazardly moved everything to the basement, I was intending to go through just about everything piece by piece and put it in it's proper place. First I needed to create a few more proper places. That hasn't happened yet, so now I just leave things out and about, and it's a mess down there.
DeleteI still plan to do stories, but nothing too elaborate. But it will be a great time to play catch up on the stories, because next year, I'm hoping to get back to regular great storytelling.
Yay! 2014 looks good already!
DeleteHi Vanessa! Your shopping cool, the outfit I loved! I hope Halle and Diego have a good trip, the bags are cute. kisses
ReplyDeleteI just got the j.lo doll too but have not yet seen the new hunger games dolls. Don't think they will make it to my list though. I did go watch hunger games 2 catching fire and I must say, I hate movies that leave me in suspense! Now I have to wait for the third one to come out. Oh well, I guess that's how movies makers get us to watch movies.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of organisation, I would need to somehow organise my collection as well, it is just a crowded mess and just looking at it makes me not want to both sometimes. In an ideal world my doll collection would be on glass shelves in a white open space room where I can admire them and not have dust floating around.
ChampagneBarbie - Welcome to my blog. The new Peeta and the new Katniss doll are both wonderful! I don't have the new Katniss, but I may have to add her. She is nicely done. I couldn't get through the first Hunger Games. I forwarded to the end to see the outcome. So #2 is not on my watch list.
DeleteAfter I finish the basement, I plan to give a tour and explain any organizing I have done. In my ideal world, Candice Olsen would come design my doll room. lol.
I would love to see posts on the process of how your doll organisation is going! That may perhaps provide me with a few tips and inspiration!
ReplyDeleteVanessa - You are very naughty as I am NOT collecting male dolls any more ... not one ... not even Peeta ... oh, no! .... after reading your blog .... he may have to come here.
ReplyDeleteDesperately Seeking Dolls - Peeta must really be working his magic. He even got you leaving a comment. lol.
DeleteCindi - Peeta is just so sexy! I hope Santa sends him your way.
ReplyDeletekarmen - Stay tuned. Halle and Diego's trip should be starting real soon.
ReplyDeleteHalle is such a dirty girl! LOL! Where did Halle and Diego meet again? Their relationships reminds me of a beautiful American women that has gone overseas and met a handsome Spanish hunk. ;)
DeleteHello from Spain. I also have to sort and organize my room of dolls. Too many things messy. I have in my collection this guy from yesterday. I really like his articulated body. I love. I see that you also have to Peeta. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteMarta - I guess a few of us doll people need some clean up help. Isn't Peeta's body great. He's the best Mattel articulated doll I have in my collection.
DeleteAwwww, Vanessa! The guy doll can be Paul Walker! Even though he has passed away, he looks so much like the actor and could be like a dedication?
ReplyDeleteKenyaDoll - That was a good idea, but Paul Walker was so much cuter. I may have to look for a doll that really looks like Paul. This guy is going to stay Peeta for now. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
DeletePaul Walker was handsome!
DeleteThe brother and sister look so good makes me wonder what their parents must look like! That outfit pack is really cute!
ReplyDeleteI will be cheering you on with your doll room!
Grandmommy - Stop wondering about their parents. They will not be moving to town. lol! Thanks for the cheers. I need all the help I can get.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteJ'aime beaucoup. Mais dans la deuxième image Poppy porte un pull, ou l'avez-vous acheté ??? I realy like it !
Bonjour Shasarignis. The sweater Poppy is wearing is a Fashion Avenue outfit. I bought it years ago.
DeleteCongrats on Peeta, he is a definite must have. I may bite the bullet and get another to keep boxed. The Finnick doll was not a pleasant surprise face wise but my Basic Model #15 was stoked to graduate from his Fashionistas Ken body, LOL. I may purchase one of the 2014 Barbie Look barbies next year but I made a promise that I would only collect male dolls from here. That is...as long as Mattel keeps the HD pivotal bodies happening. I have the blonde Texas A&M on my list and I hope I can still get him at the end of the month. Can't do it now, unfortunately...:)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your photo of J-Lo because I'm still not feeling her but there aren't a lot of photos out there for comparison. The ones I've seen suggests she might make a good mom figure for someone but I'm not sure.
I'm going to wish you a speedy and fun set up of your basement. I need to do the same for my doll "room/closet" but I've been lazy as all get out.
Looking forward to the short stories and posts you have coming up. Happy Holidays! :)
Tracy - Peeta is one of the best male dolls Mattel ever put out, as far as overall look and articulation. If they go on sale later, I'm getting a few for body swaps. I want the blonde A&M guy, too.
DeleteI will try to post pictures of J.Lo. by tomorrow. I think it's a really nice likeness, but I know others don't really think so. She will stay J.Lo in my town. She'll hop through on occasion and do a concert. Maybe she will team up with my Asian hottie and do a duet. But Kyori better watch out if that happens. J.Lo has been known to steal a man or two. Dang. See you got me creating new storylines. I already have enough. But this one could be real juicy!
Paul Walker was fione! As my dear friend Tracy, would say. LOL
P.S. I definitely see the Justin Timberlake resemblance. Paul Walker's features and very noticeable crystal clear blue eyes, I don't see a resemblance so much. Ugh...I'm so sad that he passed. I haven't been able to watch the F and F 6 or Hours on pay per view yet. :(
ReplyDeleteSo Peeta has a sister and JLo? Will be the wife of the brother of the cousin of the sister of the husband of the grandson of the uncle of someone? Will you llok for toddlesr with a resemblance with her?
ReplyDeleteThe more pictures I see of Peeta, the more I like him - and with articulation, sigh. I was hoping they would be available here for Christmas but no such luck. The non-articulated Fashionistas have arrived though, maybe the shops think dolls are only bought as presents for little girls.
ReplyDeleteCarrickters - You have to get Peeta. It's not just articulation. It's great articulation. Hope he shows up soon.
DeleteI didn't know he was articulated? Is Flinnick articulated also?
ReplyDeleteMs. Leo - Yes, Finnick and Katniss are articulated, too. The blonde haired lady is not articulated.
DeleteWow, the boy is really handsome an I love his face beacuse it´s differente to Ken and I like to hace different characters like yo ;)
ReplyDeleteThe others dolls are fantastic! I really like yours buys!!
Ana - Thanks. Yes, Peeta has a unique look. I'm sure the ladies will love having him around town.
ReplyDeleteThose Peeta are just so nice looking. They really are. You know I'm waiting on them to clearance because I want a bunch of him.
ReplyDeleteI re-organized my dolls last month and now they have taken over 1/2 of my clothes closet as well as the other areas they already had. They taking over!
Muff - Welcome to our world of dolls eating up tons of space. lol. I can't wait to find some Peetas and Finnicks on clearance, too. These are some of the nicest articulated male bodies from Mattel.
DeleteAna - He really is very handsome. I'm quite pleased with everything about this doll.
ReplyDeleteGirl, Peeta looks like he's ready to bust a move on the dance floor! LOL! He's a cutie though. Safe travels Halle & Diego.
