davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2025

[Alliecat]

I'm pretty sure I'm done buying stuff for a while now.

Yeh, OK…
True, if you find an item near the end of an auction, you can’t really wait long… I would still wait till the end and see whether I felt like sniping. Otherwise, I have found that if you bookmark stuff and wait, sellers will often send offers. Often not much – 5%, whee – but still.
I have missed out on the odd thing that I waited too long for. I am particularly pleased with myself for pulling the trigger on a few things before it was too late. Like, whoa, you made a decision 

The only thing I remember from statistics class is how to calculate your odds of winning lotto 6–49. Which is why I don’t burn money on lottery tickets. I have to agree with Mr. Bison about having something to show for the money you spent

I love her shoes and socks.  Where did you get shoes that have space for socks?

I searched for "1/6 sneakers" on eBay.

These ones:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/134040975974

I heat up the plastic shoes in a mug of hot water and loosen them up using a pencil stuck inside.

Yes, I have received some pretty good offers from sellers when I add items to a watch list. I forget now what it was, but a few months ago a seller dropped the price by 60%!

The odds of winning are nonsensically staggering, and there are a lot more than 49 numbers now. It's match 5 out of seventy-some, I think, and then the "Power Ball" that boosts the win in to the mega-millions (or billions) is selected from a separate pool of seventy-something.

I know nothing about the character other than what was in that link that I linked in a previous post. I bought him for the hat.

Monster High Ghoul Mobile

.

I spotted this nifty Monster High Ghoul Mobile toy car at Walmart today. It reminds me of a cross between the old Draculaura's Roadster and the Disney Princess Tiana's town car, with a hint of classic Batmobile.

I kinda wanted it... but not forty bucks worth of want.

UPDATE: I just learned, via eBay, that there is a miniature Hot Wheels version of the Ghoul Mobile. Actually, there are at least four different Hot Wheels versions of the Ghoul Mobile! It's a good thing I've tapered off on collecting Monster High!

I am often tempted to get the crew more cars. I mean, the minis already have two and two scooters. They're ready for their own Grand Tour episode if PTFCo ever makes another movie. But the 1/6 crew doesn't have a car. They are pretty darn ex$pensive though, and I often wonder whether big Pullip heads would work in a Barbie-sized car.

If I can ever access my Barbie-sized cars and my Pullips again, I'll try to get a a picture of a Pullip in a Barbie car. If I remember.

"RUN!"

"Where are we running to?"

"It doesn't matter! Just run!"

"What are we running from?"

"EVERYTHING!"

[Alliecat]

You can’t access your Pullips? Are they also lost in the storage shed of doom?
Something nefarious appears to be happening in the first picture…
I can kind of relate to the second.

Double Your Pleasure

Double Your Fun

Some things are so cool, or so kitschy, or so cuuuute that you need more than one. The Tipsy Bettie Hula Bobber from retroagogo.com is one of those things! Or, now, two of those things!

They look like they’ve been into that rum

As the sun shifts lower in the sky, Mister Bear makes the most of the warm autumn beams.

Aww, I remember him. What a cute picture.

Yeah, he does a great job hosting the holiday rental cabin.
