Text of the page (random words):
ttel to actually produce that gabby douglas barbie i don t know if you ve seen the gabby douglas barbie mattel made personally i don t follow well sports really but i m always on the lookout for interesting face sculpts and this doll has one of the best i ve seen in ages plus there s hardly a surplus of black barbie face molds unfortunately like most of mattel s shero dolls this doll is a ooak and not actually for sale even though some of the media blurbs don t make this clear i hope it s ok to use this promo pic here will remove if asked it would be a pity to design such a great unique mold just to use it once and then let it gather dust and i m pretty sure there s a considerable overlap of little girls who dream of being ballerinas and gymnasts and little girls who love barbie and of parents who want to buy a doll modeled after a great role model and now we have the made to move body that can actually perform all those gymnast moves well not on her own obviously but you know what i mean apparently i m not the only one there s now a petition for mattel to actually make this doll at least in a limited edition to be honest i m not sure how much this could affect their decision i mean the headglue petition didn t really do much but as blackdollcollecting points out apparently it worked for getting the ava duvernay shero doll produced so it might be worth a shot thanks to blackdollcollecting and phyllis who posted about this posted by anderson s all purpose at 2 43 00 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels barbie gabby douglas mattel ooak petition 2016 06 23 grail dolls vs thoil dolls hello almost abandoned old blog i learned a really great word last week thoil verb yorkshire to be able to justify the expense of a purchase i loved those red shoes but i couldn t thoil it in addition to the new dress i d bought source wiktionary com as always it s hard to tell whether this word is actually widely used or not i could only find a few sources besides wiktionary and they seem to have copied the definition verbatim from eachother but it doesn t really matter if it doesn t exist i think we should invent it because it s really useful there are lots of dolls i want which i could technically afford but can t really justify buying sometimes it s because would mean not being able to afford other things sometimes it s just too expensive to feel like fun you know when people talk about grail dolls it seems it s often rare vintage dolls limited edition dolls or just dolls that are impossibly expensive for whatever reason mine on the other hand are mostly just semiexpensive dolls that show up regularly on ebay or mandarake but that i just can t quite bring myself to shell out for depending on circumstances it could even be an overpriced thrift store doll with an interesting face that i would like to own some day but not for 10 john aka oak23 mentioned he calls his white whale dolls because hunting them down would be more work than it s worth but mine usually aren t even hard to find mostly they re just slightly too expensive so thoil dolls what about you are yours grail thoil or white whale posted by anderson s all purpose at 9 28 00 pm 9 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels doll talk grail dolls thoil dolls 2016 03 01 gloria happy hour bar play set lately i ve been doing most of my ranting about dolls on tumblr instead of here but i felt this post would work better in blog format so last week i was waiting for 3 packages the first one being an azone pure neemo body i ordered in january for my new licca head according to ebay it was supposed to arrive last friday at the latest but mail from japan has been slow lately so i wasn t too worried anyway this friday i finally got a parcel delivery notice and so i happily skipped down to what passes for the post office these days to pick up what i assumed would be the body insert traditional comment about our morbid hobby here instead i received a big flat box with a label said china and doll mirror set and i realized this must be the gloria play set i ordered a couple of weeks ago i hadn t expected it to arrive so soon and i wasn t looking forward to organizing the return of this doll mirror set whatever that might be que one of the corners of the bag was torn i hadn t needed worry though yesss the box had taken a hit but since the set comes unassembled and tightly packed nothing was damaged there we go gloria s bar or happy hour as it s called on the box incidentally on the box photo the barstool foot rests are mounted upside down all the dolls are unarticulated though so it s not like it matters anyway i ve wanted this set for a long time it s pretty adult for a playline playset if not exactly adult even as kids we probably realized that all that partying and disco ing barbie and her friends were up to probably entailed having a drink once in a while maybe that s why it s still in production despite being a clone brand with a decades old design it still sells and doesn t really have any equivalents from competitor brands on the other hand there are loads of much less interesting gloria play sets in production too so i don t know you can find this set at various sellers on ebay i picked the chinese seller with a price shipping highest feedback combo i liked and received it well within the eta timespan if you re in the us there s a few domestic sellers that offer lower shipping so you should be able to get it for a bit less than i paid this set seems to be quite popular among adult collectors and diorama builders and i ve seen several great repaints of it i won t be bothering with that though partially because i m lazy and haven t figured out how to get acrylic paint to stick to plastic yet at least not in a way that doesn t require a respirator partially because i kind of like it s 80s early 90s tackiness but here s one example more repaints here so let s get started my god it s full of well whatever that is what is that some kind of plastic plastic in my 1 6 doll furniture set the set consist of a drink cabinet a bar and two bar stools a bunch of glasses i couldn t find any instructions but it looks pretty straight forward so let s go i started with the barstools it s pretty simple the post only fits one way the seat is in two parts which don t come together completely so there s a bit of a gap in the back not a huge problem but it could have looked better the actual problem here was the footrests not figuring out which way is up but the fact that they won t stay put there s a cross shaped hole that goes on the cross shaped post and then it seems you re supposed to twist them slightly to fix them in place problem is they fit pretty badly and won t rotate far enough to fit securely in place as soon as you put any weight on them they come loose aaaargh i ll have to figure out a fix for that luckily that s the only actual problem with the set that i can think of ta da two barstools ok on to the bar itself bar parts exciting bar footrest bar things for some reason the photos led me to believe they were in one piece now what have we here note barstool assembly instructions paper and cardboard getting the pieces out of their plastic bag was actually one of the most difficult things about assembling this set since they were practically vacuum sealed there s the bar front a few fake bottle insets for the shelves and look instructions turns out i was right about the footrests twist to lock or not in my case you could probably do without them though for most parts they re unnecessary and for the one part the shelves in the cupboard where you might actually need instructions they could have been more detailed but nothing is particularly complicated and the worst that could happen is it ll take you a bit longer to figure it out still it s always nice not having to guess so i appreciate that they were included there s also the front for the bottle cabinet with fake doors someone drew this with physical color pencils wonder what a gig like that pays probably not very well at first i couldn t decide which side was up and whether the door panels were supposed to be convex or concave but then i noticed the shadows cast by the doorknobs which made it pretty unambiguous shiny side up it is i imagine this sold as a postcard from a little stand by the bar greetings from gloria s we have furniture front of the bar fitted in without much problem v 80s or maybe early 90s hexagonal holes for the whole overhead glasses rack thingy in the top of the bar one of them had some extra plastic mold flare at the top that made it too round and small so i had to carve it out a bit there were a couple of little things like that tabs that had to be pared down a bit to fit in the holes and such but nothing too bad the beer tap goes in the third hole this was the other thing that annoyed me a bit one of the tap tabs or whatever they re called was molded too small and kind of wobbles a bit i guess you could fix it with some blu tac or glue ecti quality where quality stands for not quality must be one of those hipster beers as i mentioned the shelves were the trickiest part to get right coordination wise which is why there are no photos of that stage the illustration could have been clearer as the angle it showed sort of hid some of the important parts but most parts only fit one way so unless you re 5 and try to force things that don t fit you ll get it right eventually the lower shelf was a bit bent but the cardboard bottle bits helped straightening it out the only known photo of this mysterious step of the process oddly enough the blue inset for the bottom shelf was the only one that was a bit too small anyway there s nothing stopping you from replacing it with something better this one was a bit dirty and damaged but it s on the part you won t see so i ll allow it the assembled main pieces seen from the back notice the little tabs keeping the cardboard backs in place the bar could have used some shelves but that would probably have raised the production value considerably finally we pop the cardboard top with the slightly misaligned print in place and we re done welcome to gloria s run by who else gloria or maybe she s betty teen i m not sure it s the same face mold anyway my name you ask too many questions kid to complete the playset you obviously need some accessories there aren t that many included so i scraped together what i could find for the photos the biggest downside is it doesn t come with any bottles which is what the lattice type rack would be for but you do get six kinds of glasses including beer mugs aaaaand that s it there s three of each type even though there s room for at least four in each section of the rack a sneaky way of cutting production costs they re not painted liquour colored like on the box photo so you ll have to use your imagination two of the glass types have fancy molded flower decorations the one on the left has a pretty thick stem and required a bit more force to fit into the hanging rack probably don t use real liquids though since at least one of the glasses is a bit wonky barkeep this drink is more drunk than i am since there s four hooks but only three beer mugs i put skeleton bob on beer tap duty hey it s a living bob please what did i tell you bob keep your hands to yourself it s fine i was just about to ask for a straw anyway hey what do i have to do to get served around here well first of all you have to wear some shoes sure no problem that fit drat best part of the job no pants i mean the community anyway why not try our special cupcake mushroom smoothie whew good thing my recent thrifting turned up the most important bar accessory of all i think the justin bieber backstage set came with some fake vomit i don t understand i just had a few glasses and they were all empty what about that smoothie the one that was glued to the glass so you could sell it again hey i m just trying to make ends meet here so that s the gloria happy hour bar set i think i ll put it next to the arco office play set so the offiec ladies have someplace to go for their after work oh and the azone body finally arrived today but she s not in this photoset since i m pretty sure she s too young to drink posted by anderson s all purpose at 2 28 00 am 12 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels betty teen doll furniture gloria play set 2016 02 06 in case you were wondering yes i am excited about the new barbie body types and particularly the plus size one very excited indeed now if we could just get some articulation that d be lovely but i guess we have to prove we ll buy them first or something ok mattel i m in but i can t do much wallet voting until you see fit to start selling these in sweden which should
