That's a funny thing to make a rement sent out of Too bad about the scale.
So how many unopened boxes from how long ago, do you have??? I absolutely couldn't!

So how many unopened boxes from how long ago, do you have???  I absolutely couldn't!

This is probably the oldest. I would have said I got this "a couple of years ago." I was surprised when I looked it up to see that I purchased the set in 2021, five years ago.
The plan was to use it for Pinky:st figures. I could probably cut down the counters to Pinky:st height, which I might still do. But for now I think I will add a riser to the base to better fit 1/12-scale (dollhouse scale) figures.

The accessories, like the drinking glasses, look like a decent match for 1/12-scale.

Speaking of unopened boxes:

15 October - A Doll A Day 2026:

Empty action figure boxes

I'm not likely to ever sell the figures, so why keep the boxes? I can store the figures much more compactly without the packaging, and any secondary market value evaporated the moment I opened the containers anyway.

I'll show you what was in here after I open the rest of them!  

[Alliecat]

Oh boy. I wanna see!
Sorry you're still worrying about secondary market value. Just open 'em and have fun.
"A couple of years ago"..... yeah, it's truly horrifying how fast time passes. I had annular-eclipse photos come up in my FB "memories" and I couldn't believe it was 3 years ago. And I thought then that I was going to be out of here within the year

Yeah, I've pretty much given up on the "secondary market value" thing because it's getting too eensive to sell anything online. I mean, sure, a little bit of money is better than no money, but it doesn't seem fair that most of the "profit" goes to the postal service and eBay fees.

Probably just my excuse. I'm too lazy to hassle with listing things anymore.

More Zuro Starbox MINNEE Dolls

I acquired (as in, bought) three more Zuru Starbox MINNEE "blind box" dolls yesterday.

I ended up with two new ones, Comic Con and Cat Cafe, and a duplicate, Magic Academy.

Out of six total blind boxes I have purchased, I have five unique figures.

I think I'll stop now. It's not worth the price-per-pop to keep trying for a Bubble Tea or the roller-skating one.

[Alliecat]

Cool! Let’s see ‘em!!
Since you have five different ones, perhaps you can confirm what I read, that there are differing weights; someone on Reddit said you could tell what was in the box by the weight and there was a list of their observations.

Making eBay listings is a huge hassle and so time-consuming. I don’t know how people do it who have hundreds of items. Postage costs too much to ship, and most of the market is gone without being able to ship to the states.

Good idea. I'd read that, too, but I haven't seen any "numbers" listed.

Well, I've seen worse placements of ladders, but someone's going up the wrong side, methinks

A-Frame Ladder

Janie (screen right) wishes to inform our audience that both she and Trivia (screen left) are well-aware of how to climb a ladder. She adds that this is an A-frame ladder that can be climbed with equal effectiveness and safety from either side.

[Alliecat]

The audience does not posess an "A-frame ladder" and was unaware both sides were equally narrow.
Anyway, fun perspective.
