Thrift Store Wednesday! 2

So today I had to go to work, so I just had time to go to Value Village in the morning, and Goodwill at night right before it closed! And I'm SO glad I did, but anyways, first lets show my Value Village finds!

I got an OG doll and a little Sofia the First doll. I don't collect OG dolls, but she was only $5 and had the gorgeous dress and shrug on, so I bought the doll for those, and will probably sell the doll once I clean her and fix her hair. And I don't really like the show Sofia the First. I thought the concept was adorable, but it was the characters that I just could not stand, mainly with Sofia's voice and Amber's personality. But regardless, I thought this little doll was too cute to pass up, and she was only $1, so she came home.

Next was Value Village, I was kind of in a rush, but soon got disappointed as it looked like there was nothing for me. But as I looked through the last bin, my hear soared when I heard a familiar noise, and a pulled out a Babblin Boo doll!

Babblin Boo was a doll released in 2001, around when the movie was released, and she says little phrases from the movie. I have a re-released version, called Peek-a-Boo Boo, but that version had a bigger head, HUGE eyes, and she didn't have inset eyes. Babblin Boo has a sweeter face, and looks more realistic. My sister and I had one as a kid, but she was donated to a thrift store to my immense disappointment. So I feel like finding this Boo was like a nice circle of her coming back to me! And I will be sure to hold onto her this time!

Blind Bag Monday 2

So I recently picked up some blind bags for Blind Bag Monday. Pretty much all of these are new to me, because I really want to try out many of these and even review them a bit.

First was an official NFL series called TeenyMates. I'm really into watching football, so I was very excited to pick these up! I also notice they had similar packs but for NHL (hockey) and MLB (baseball) but since I don't watch the sports, I decided not to pick them up.

I also got a Frozen Funko Mystery figure, my first one ever, so I am excited to see these little characters in person.

I also got Justice League chibis, for the price I think they are a really great deal, plus I do have a love for superheros like everyone else : )

And then I got a second Adventure Time Mystery Plush Clip

And spongebob erasers.

So I started to open them, and found some amazing surprises!

I got two little figures of a Green Bay Packers player and a Jacksonville Jaguars player. To be honest I hadn't heard of the Jaguars before, but I was very excited to get the Green Bay Packers one, because I had just seen Pitch Perfect 2, and some of the players had a cameo that I really enjoyed! But I was disappointed that both figures look exactly the same, with just a different uniform. They were also very small, with the figures barely bigger than the tips of my fingers.

Overall I liked the football concept, but it seems very hard to find the team I really want, as well as them being a bit pricey for such tiny figures.

Next was the Frozen figures, and I got...

Kid Anna! She is so cute, I really like these Funko Mystery Figures so much, I will definitely expand to try other lines!

 Next were the Justice League Chibis. I forgot to take a picture but I got Cyborg, Shazaam and Supergirl. They are really cute for their price.

And lastly were the Spongebob erasers.

I am wondering if having a snail come in every pack is the norm. Again I loved the detail on the snail, and most of Spongebob's detail was good, but I was disappointed that his face was just a sticker. But also his expression is very odd to me, kind of more like a Squidward expression than the happy Spongebobs! But in the end I can't really complain. This was a very fun Blind Bag Monday and I'm looking forward to Thrift Store Wednesday!

Birthday Haul 2015

Almost a week later, I figured it was time to post what I got for my birthday! I had a busy day with my family, first we went to several Value Villages in the area, and here is my toy haul!

I also got some clothes, but these are my toy finds. For the first time I got a Lalaloopsy, I had become interested in them, but this one was only $1.50, so it was the push I needed to get my first one. I also got a Squishy plush from the movie Monsters University, a Lalaloopsy Little, a Dolls of the World Chinese Barbie, two vintage dolls, an all vinyl Cabbage patch kid and a little asian corolle baby.

Next was the Disney store! The closest one is a good distance away, and I hadn't been there before, but it was close to my favorite restaurant so we made a detour there.

And I love what I got! I got 3 Disney Animator dolls: Pocahontas, Elsa and Anna, and I got the little figures for the new movie Inside Out. I usually don't buy Disney Animator dolls brand new, but I wanted these guys so badly!

After the Disney Store, we went to American Girl, and I got a lot of goodies.

I got Kit's desk, I already had the little extras, but now I finally have a place to put them.

 I also got the new Truly Me #62 doll, and I customized her with a new wig. (She's wearing one of the new OG outfits)

And I got all these clothes as well.

Lastly I got 3 of the new Ever After High dolls from the birthday money my extended relatives sent me.

I misplaced Bunny's headpiece, but here are my dolls! I like having sibling doll sets, so I had to get Dexter and Darling, and I thought that Bunny was absolutely adorable.

BONUS:

The next day my mom went to Value Village again and got my these

All in all, I feel really grateful I was able to get all of these toys, and for spending the day with the family I love. I had a really fun day and good memories too

Pre-birthday thrift shopping

So today I had to go pick up a household appliance from craigslist, so I thought I might as well check out the thrift stores too.

First I stopped at my local Goodwill. My Goodwill (and most Goodwills in general, as I have heard) are very aware of AG and expensive items, so I don't expect those kind of deals there, but I have found Disney Animator dolls, which I collect and love, and BFC Ink dolls, which I do have a fondness for. Well as I looked through the long bin of assorted dolls, a purple dress caught my eye. I assumed it was just a generic Rapunzel doll, but then as I examined it, I was shocked to realize it was a Disney Animator Rapunzel! I didn't have her yet, and I really wanted her, so I was very excited to find her! I also found a little Ni Hao Kai-lan doll for $2, which I picked up for my love of asian dolls, due to my fiancee's heritage.

Next I went to Value Village. At that point I was really debating on going, I had been out and about for nearly 2 hours, and I just wanted to go home, but I had remembered that I had a discount due to me having a savers card and my birthday being the next day, so I figured "why not?" I was extremely thankful when I realized that I found a BLONDE BITTY TWIN GIRL! I hadn't ever found an AG doll before, so I was so happy to find her.

Here is a before pic of all the dolls...

And here are the after pictures of the Bitty Twin and Rapunzel

Thrift Store Wednesdays! 1

So after a bit of a lapse n going, I really want to start going to thrift stores regularly again. So I think Wednesdays might be the best time for me. I know I'm late to posting, but here is the loot from my last Wednesday...

I normally like to take more individual pictures, but what do you think? : )

And no, I did not find the Ever After High Dolls at a thrift store,  but there is a Toys R Us right by the two shops I frequent, so when I learned they were having a deal of doll packs of 2 being on sale for $25, how could I say no to these girls who I have been admiring for awhlie! I need to do a formal review of them, just because they are so detailed and intricate, but anyway...

The actual thrift store finds are the Disney Animator Doll Belle for $4, and the Funko Pop Sally in a big bag with these other dolls for $3.

I have loved the Disney Animator dolls for awhile, and luckily I have been extremely lucky to find so many at my local thrift stores over the past few months. I have gotten a Snow White (in the middle of customization), a Merida, another Merida (which I have sold), Ariel (which I have sold), a Mulan (after my sister bought me a new one from the disney store this past Christmas. They have two very different outfits so I am keeping both), and just a couple days ago I found Belle! I have admired Belle for awhile, and was excited to finally get her. I have always admired her blue and white dress on the doll more than the yellow ballgown, so that was a bit of a disappointment, but I mean she is in really great condition. Her hair was pretty tangled and her dress is dirty, I'll really have to take after pictures. Then I found a Funko Pop Sally for $3, which really surprised me. I have a few funko pops, but I mean I haven't seen The Nighmare Before Christmas yet, but I mean a $3 Funko Pop? I couldn't say no! I'll probably re-donate that weird doll in the hat and the toddler doll, but I mean the polly pocket I may hold on to for sentimental reasons, and the little Strawberry Shortcake friend looks very cute.

So, those are my finds for today. I really hope I can update my new dolly finds at least every week, but I mean life has been pretty busy lately, but I'm very excited to wind down with summer.

4 Blind Bags! Blind Bag 1

So recently I've been really getting into bind bags, and so I decided to get 4 to try them out!

Sorry the Pic is kind of blurry, my boyfriend was in such a rush to open them I had to take these photos outside in my cars trunk! Opening them was really exciting and a lot of fun! First to be opened was the Spongebob erasers.

I got Patrick and a random snail! Both were fairly detailed for erasers, especially the random snail. Just letting you guys know, I really, really love Spongebob, so I was excited to find this little blind bag for just $4. I am likely to get more.

Next were the little DC Forever Evil figures.

They are so cute! I am casually into superheros, and to be honest I was only familiar with the evil Green Lantern (Power Ring) but I was happy to get the other little guys too, if a bit perplexed as to why I got the two with bows and arrows (Red Arrow and Merlyn). Personally I really like this set best because of their little evil features, even if its as simple as down turned eyebrows. I forgot the exact price, but I believe it is $3, and for 3 chibis I feel like its a great deal.

And then the Adventure Time keyring plushie...

And I got Fiona! To be honest I haven't really been into Adventure Time lately, Steven Universe has been my favorite show by a mile, but I think it's a little too new for toy merchandise yet :'( However, when I saw these little plushies, my heart melted a little, and I just had to get one! And I must say these are so cute, I think even someone who has never watched the show will think these are super cute. This one was on the higher end of blind bags, at $7, but still I think I will (slowly) work at getting more.

And onto the last package, the Avengers magnets.

I got one of the whole crew, 2 featuring Vision, and a Captain America one. For a bunch of marvel merchandise costing about $3 it's a pretty great deal. There are little holes on each of the top sides, which bugs me a bit, but not enough to take off my fridge. I think the concept of a magentic key ring is a bit dumb, but I love this set, but I don't know how many more I can get, since I don't really know what I can do beyond putting them on my tiny fridge
