Lalaloopsy Replacement Parts

Hey everyone! Just a short little post to let you know that if you need replacement parts for you MGA toys, such as Lalaloopsy or Brats, you can order them from their website under Customer Service, then Replacement Parts. It's pretty simple, and convenient. I'm not sure if you have to pay for EVERYTHING you order, but the Markers for the Color Me dolls, you do.
Okay!! That's it for this! Thanks for reading!!

Lalaloopsy Newborns Review

Hello all of my fellow Lalaloopsy fans!!! I have a new review for you!
I got this box in the mail today, and this is what was inside! Lalaloopsy Newborns are sold at ToysRUs.com and in store as well. They generally sell for $7.99
So, they're affordable and fun. They don't have a whole lot going on with each doll. There is six in the line of Newborns. They dolls are 4"tall and come with a baby bottle. They're made of a hard plastic, with the clothes molded on. The heads swivel, arms swivel and legs bend. Nothing comes apart, I've pulled and pulled to see how safe it would be for babies. There would have to be some serious prying and yanking to get these babies to budge. The box is about 5"tall and has an adoption certificate on the back that will punch out for you to keep. Like regular Lalaloopsy dolls, they have personality specifications and you give them the adoption date. I don't really have a lot to say about them, because I'm not really into these specific toys. I do still want to collect the mini's and the Lalaloopsy Girls. Maybe even some Pet Pals still. I just will be keeping my large dolls to a minimum. I've been getting into comic books a lot more lately and have been focusing more on that collection.
The good folks at Lalaloopsy Insiders sent me these dolls in exchange for my reviews on them. I highly recommend signing up for Lalaloopsy Insiders and being an active member. This is the second time they've sent me toys to review. It's an awesome experience being part of Lalaloopsy Insiders. They're super friendly, responsive and generous. There's constant posts to update you social media accounts with. Tons of info available.
I will be keeping these Newborns, because they're adorable and display really well. I can keep them in the boxes and hang them up. They don't take up much room at all. They're perfect for any Lalaloopsy collector. If I knew any small girls I'd share these adorable toys, but I don't have any around.
So there's what I think about these toys. I highly recommend them and am glad I have them in my collection!!

I have received this product from MGAE as part of their toy tester program.

Lalaloopsy Inventory shrinkage.

I have come to the realization that I've grown uninterested in the large core Lalaloopsy dolls. There are quite a few in my collection that I will be getting rid of within the next couple months. We will start posting them on eBay for sale, in November. First, I need to go through them and decide on what few I can't get rid of.
As someone who has collected these dolls for a couple years now, I noticed that the value of these dolls has decreased. There are dolls that were extremely hard to find and highly expensive last year, that MGA has rereleased. That has taken away from the excitement for me. I appreciated the hunt, the rarity, the exclusiveness of some of the dolls. That's all gone now.
MGA has released some really unique dolls within the last year or so, and I have a few favorites that I will be keeping. But, there has been quite a few that I'm not nuts about, that will be going to new homes.
I really lost interest in these dolls when the new line of Lalaloopsy girls was released. I like the girls, they're much more displayable than the large core dolls, and they're more affordable and widely available. So, if I buy any of the Girls, I wont feel bad about opening them to display them on a shelf, and getting dust on them. I enjoy being able to really enjoy the dolls. With the large core dolls, I couldn't really display them very well, if they were unboxed. I'm 31 years old, I can't find enjoyment in tea parties and dress up anymore.
I never thought MGA would rerelease dolls. I thought that Lalaloopsy dolls would be an investment, but it's been proven otherwise. So before these dolls lose all value, I'll try to get SOME of our money back.
Once we post the dolls on eBay, I will post a link here. Most dolls are still mint in the box. If you have any dolls that you were looking for and just wanting to buy for a fair price, just ask. I'm not looking to get every penny back, it won't happen. Also, we have two of the Roller Coaster play sets, if anyone's interested. Just leave a comment, or email me woollyghoulie@gmail.com. I have a pretty large collection, so if there's a doll you're looking for, I might just have it!!!
Thanks for reading! Have a great day!!!

Lalaloopsy Girls - Crumbs Sugar Cookie

Hey everyone,
Today, I went to Target, and got Crumbs! She's the Lalaloopsy Girls doll, and I love her. I did unbox her, and play with her hair a little. :)
 This is her! She's adorable, isn't she? I think these dolls display well in their packaging, because the boxes are decorated so well. It looks as though she's standing in a bakery shop.
 This is the back, very similar to the other Lalaloopsy Girls boxes. They're pretty much the same, only they're specified to their character. The back has her L.A.L.A. Prep School I.D. card, some cookies, some recipe info, and specific info to the doll.
This is her out of the box, and standing up. She's standing with her pet mouse, and comb.
 These are the shoes she comes with. They're very cute, I like the pink bow against the black shoes. She's wearing pink knee high socks with ruffles at the top. These shoes help the doll stand up on her own, so they don't come with stands. The shoes have heavy bottoms, and are pretty solid. The doll stands on her own pretty sturdy.
 This is the mouse and the comb. The mouse is very different from the other mouse she has as a regular Lalaloopsy doll.
 The hair on the doll is molded for the most part, the strands are plastic strands that are implanted in the head. This doll has two piggy tails on the side, and a band of hair that goes around the back.
 This is a pretty good picture of her face, you can see she has the typical pink cheeks, the black button eyes, and the black bow. She looks like she's wearing eyeliner, and mascara, if you ask me. I think she's just adorable anyway ;)
The back of the doll has the molded MGA info on it, and her bottom has the sewn on date, like the other Lalaloopsy dolls do.
 This is the two unboxed Lalaloopsy Girls that I have! They're cute, age appropriate and fun! Peanut and Crumbs go well together, and will display on my shelves perfectly. They both come with shoes that are removable, removable outfits, pets and combs. The bows do NOT come off. They're glued in the heads. The hair doesn't come out, and is very securely in the head. Some of the Lalaloopsy Girls have color changing hair, but these two don't. I don't mind it, because I wouldn't be playing with them in the water.
They're sew cute! Aren't they? I really enjoy these dolls, and can't wait to get them on the shelves to display them with my other dolls. I have Mittens Fluff N Stuff, but I'm not going to unbox her. She's got too many accessories with her, and I don't want to take a chance on losing or ruining them.
 
You should really check out the Lalaloopsy Girls website!! It's an adorable site, and if you're a parent, it can entertain your kids! Also, the Lalaloopsy website has fun games, recipes for sweet treats from the Sweet Shoppe collection. It has info where you can buy the dolls. I found Crumb at Target, she was $14.99. Walmart has them for the same price. The other ones with the pajamas, they're $19.99. They're really worth the money, because they're well made and adorable. I'm looking for the Cloud E Sky and Storm E Sky double pack, and hoping to get that soon! If I do, I'll let you know!! I hope this has given you some insight on the Lalaloopsy Girls dolls, and helps you make a solid decision on the investment of one or two.. or five. They're great for girls that love to play with their dolls. They're great for the girls that want to just display their dolls (like me).  They're great for anyone that loves Lalaloopsy!
I hope you enjoyed my review of the Lalaloopsy Girls, and keep an eye out for my other posts to come! If you have any questions or comments, leave them in the comment section below and I'll get back to you asap!
Until next time,
 

Lalaloopsy Mania!

Hey everyone!
Today I'm sharing a few pictures of part of my Lalaloopsy collection. You'll get to peak at my large core dolls that are boxed. I didn't take pictures of my Lalaloopsy Minis, Workshops, Girls, Tinies, Littles, Micros, Oopsies or the Color Me dolls. We're doing some renovations to part of the house, and those dolls are all packed up. These were the last ones to move, so now I have to go pack them and move them.
Sunny, Peggy, Ember, Mango, Teddy, Toffee, Cherry, Swirly, Smile, Bah, Dyna, Mari, Sahara, Scraps, Feather, Pix, Yuki, Winter, Alice, Ace and Charlotte

Spot, Dot, Bea, Pillow, Jewel, Mittens, Crumbs, Peanut

Confetti, Haley, Scarlet, Mint, Rosie, Prairie, Dotty, Pepper, Blossom, Scoops, Snowy, Patch, Star, Misty, Frost, April, Suzette, Forest, Pickles, Marine

The pictures aren't of the best quality, it's a dark room, and not a lot of space. So I took out home made bed frame, leaned it up against the wall, set the dolls up there, and tried to get the best pictures I could. I hope you enjoy looking at my collection! Hopefully I'll be able to get the Minis and all the other dolls pictured when we go to unbox everything! If you have any questions, or comments, leave them in the comment section below! Thanks for reading!
Until next time,

Monster High Skelita Review!


Hey everyone!
Today, I'm going to be doing a review of Skelita Calaveras from Monster High. She's part of the Accessorize series. I took a bunch of pictures to show some details of this doll.
This is the box, off the shelf. She's displayed well, and you can see all of her accessories clearly. 

This is the back of the box. It has Skelita, and another character I'm not familiar with. It's a cute picture, and has the dolls pictured with all of her accessories that this doll comes with.


 This is her, out of the box, completely accessorized. She comes with a headband that's made of three flowers that are pink and blue. The sunglasses are a clear blue that look like cat eye glasses. The belt looks like it's made of bones, to go with whole skeleton themed doll. The purse is a Lucha Libre mask! I love the purse! I think it's one of the best things this doll has going for her. Her outfit is a top with a skirt, both look to be folklorica inspired material, keeping in theme.


This is her face, up close and personal. She's got a beautifully made up face with the Day of the Dead feel to her. She's got big beautiful eyes, and lips.
This is her, once you take her clothes off. You can see this clear plastic mold over her body, and that's to make clothes fill out better when she's on display. Since she doesn't have anything but bones for a body, I guess she kind of needs this to look better in her outfits.
As I said before, I wanted to show some detail. The hands are my favorite part of the skeleton body. Maybe it's because the hands are one of the smallest details that get passed up a lot. The arms are bone too!
The torso is pretty cool too. She's alllllll bones, folks. This doll would be great for customizing. I'm not going to do anything to her though. I think she's pretty awesome the way she is.
Her back is really cool looking. She's got a cool spine, shoulder blades, hip bones, and oddly butt cheeks.
 
Her feet are great. They didn't forget the feet to be boney!! The shoes!! The shoes are Lucha Libre inspired, obviously. They match the purse great, and are realistically appealing. If I could wear heels, I'd be a buyer.
So this is her, completely dress. Her limbs look and feel a little flimsy, but she's really well put together. She's not going to fall apart, as long as you take good care of her. She bends well, and bends at every joint. She is a great doll. I'm a huge fan of her, if you look at my other posts, there's a post on my other Skelita doll. I did recently decide to unbox that doll, and try to fix her hair, because it was a mess. It also had glue and lumps. but I'm working on it. I will not be doing anything to this dolls hair, because it's not THAT bad, and it's too much work. She's still displaying well, and I'm not that concerned.
That's it. That's my review on Skelita. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it gave you some info to inspire you to go buy a Skelita doll!  She's pretty much the only Monster high doll that I'm interested in. She's unique, and well designed. If you have any questions, or comments, leave them in the comment section below. Keep an eye on my blog, so you don't miss out on my next post!
Until next time,

Lalaloopsy Girls - Peanut Big Top Review

Hey everyone,
Today I will be reviewing Lalaloopsy's new line of dolls, Lalaloopsy Girls. This review will be on Peanut Big Top, out of the box. I hope you enjoy!
 This is Peanut Big Top in the box. She displays well in the box, and doesn't take up much space at all.
 This is the back of the box. It's loaded with at a lot of pictures, and a little info on Peanut. It gives her sewn on date (April 1st), what she's sewn from ( a clown's costume), and her pet (elephant). It has the website info for Lalaloopsy and Lalaloopsy Girls, where you can go check out what's new with Lalaloopsy and where' to buy them!
This is a close up picture of the back, just so you can see the websites, I'll also have a link to them at the bottom of this post. There's a cute picture of Peanut, Spot Splatter Splash and Crumbs Sugar Cookie. They're also available in the Lalaloopsy Girls line of dolls.
This is Peanut and her pet elephant out of the box. She feels pretty sturdy and well put together, like the other Lalaloopsy dolls. the hair is molded, and the curly strands are coming through holes, and they're REALLY in there. There's no pulling those out accidentally. The bow is also not coming off. It's glued in pretty well. She comes with a comb and a little pet elephant.
This is a better picture of her face and dress. She's got the basic Lalaloopsy button eyes, and pink cheeks. She has a star, like she's suppose to, by her eye and heart shaped lips. Her dress is very similar to the dresses she wears in her mini's and her Large dolls, but this looks more like a band directors coat, to me. The coat is attached to the striped skirt.
This is the back of her, and as you can see, she's perfectly well put together, everything is consistent. The dress is held closed by Velcro.


This is her legs, the boots can come off easily, like the other Lalaloopsy shoes can. Her socks, they don't move. They're molded with the legs, and they're orange with red pom poms at the top. The boots are pink with red bottoms. They're what helps the doll stand on her own. She doesn't need a stand, and she's not floppy like the large Lalaloopsy dolls are. She's got study legs that bend at the hips, so she can it down.
 This is everything. She comes with the comb, dress, boots and pet. She is very well put together, and designed beautifully. This line of dolls has become one of my favorite things about MGA Entertainment. I enjoy that they're so different from the rag doll style large core dolls, and yet they stay so recognizable as a Lalaloopsy doll. Even the design of the characters are easily recognizable. Peanut is my most favorite Lalaloopsy doll, and I'm really glad she's available in this line.
I hope you enjoyed this review of my Peanut Big Top Lalaloopsy Girls doll. Share, like and comment!! I'd love to know your opinions of the reviews I do, and what toys you have or maybe would like to have!!
Until next time,
