They're not really assurances.... just a desperate shred of hope 

Nice lighting.

MARCH of the MONSTERS: Bratzillaz Midnight Beach Sashabella Paws

.

Cute coconut fiber bikini witch tiki girl who glows in the dark -- yes, this is my favorite doll of all!

[Alliecat]

Neat. Was this a long ex*posure to pick up the glow?

Nope. The glow is pretty intense, especially after being "charged up" with a UV flashlight. It's the most intense glow-in-the-dark I've ever seen in a toy.

MARCH of the MONSTERS: Bratzillaz Sashabella Paws

(Standard Version)

.

The original Bratzillaz dolls were cool in that, although they were mere "playline" dolls, they featured colorful glass eyes.

.

Just for funsies, here's a snapshot of Sashabella from 2018, nearly eight years ago:

Sasha's holding it together better than I am, that's for sure.

And for the sake of nostalgia, a link to the original Bratzillaz theme song video:

That's pretty cool, about the glow-in-the-dark intensity. Was that the only such doll?

Yeah, holding it together... must be nice to be an always-cheerful plastic person who never has to deal with.... stuff.

There were several characters issued in the glow-in-the-dark Midnight Beach series: Jade, Cloetta, Fianna, Meygana, Sashabella, and Yasmina.

I had to look that up just now. The Midnight Beach line was released in 2013. I only ever had Sashabella. I don't remember Fianna at all.

It's one of those things that I could easily be tempted to "collect" again after all these years. I wonder what they're bringing on the ol' 'Bay these days?

"... plastic person who never has to deal with stuff..." other than "glue hair!"

MARCH of the MONSTERS: BeGoths Lunabella Whispers Figure

.

A quick snapshot before I hit the road.

I picked up this BeGoths Lunabella Whispers figure several years ago for a good (meaning cheap) price on eBay, before postage costs became unreasonable. This is a "backup" figure for one I already had, and remains attached to part of the original packaging.

I'll be Away From Keyboard for several days, the first disruption of my A Doll A Day project of the New Year (2026). I suppose that wanting to get a laptop computer to keep up with daily doll posting during my occasional Away From Keyboard periods is frivolous and silly, but nevertheless, I want one. I kinda "need" one, too, for my "work" (such as it is) while I'm away.

[EDIT - UPDATE] - HOLY CATS! A boxed Fianna Finns Midnight Beach figure commands $650 USD (plus shipping) and up on eBay! I feel so stupid for not having invested in -- INVESTED IN -- Bratzillaz Dollz thirteen years ago. Woulda been better than compound interest! A loose Fianna figure with no costume or accessoris is a $200 doll.

Naturally, Sashabella is the least valuable of the Midnight Beach Bratzillaz. But that's okay, because she's still the coolest.

[Alliecat]

I am wondering what eventuality a “backup” figure is in anticipation of? Serious question!
Your “bricks” in the foreground are styrofoam too? They look terrific.
Hahaha, they can ASK those prices on eBay, doesn’t mean they’ll GET them. Kind of like the delusional pricing on some resellers’ Pullips. Or the house listing I just saw where they bought it three or four years ago and now think they can resell at double the price. I didn’t see mention of extensive renovations or anything.
Yep, a laptop on the road is a handy thing; refurbished ones aren’t that ex-pensive – just have to find a reputable seller. I would not fly with mine though.
Anyway, hope you have a good trip.
