Dal Ho-ho is courtesy of the Groove Sample Sale... she made an appearance there earlier this year, and I considered her and ultimately passed, and then when she disappeared for awhile I regretted it. So when she popped up again, I got her. She's adorable, and came with all her outfit pieces and little goodies, making me think once again that many of the reoccurring Sample Sale dolls are really just unboxed dolls that aren't selling well... Ho-ho in box is currently listed at $120.99 on the Groove website, while the Sample Sale version is $44... who knew the box, stand, and card are worth $76.99!
My Melody is a doll I've thought was cute for quite awhile, so I had my eye on her when a bald/ nude/ rechipped version ended up on ebay a few weeks ago. I put a bid in, but she ended up selling for quite a bit more than I was willing to pay... Then she reappeared (same one) a week later... while I was debating her not-so-bad BIN price, someone put a first bid in... kept my eye on her throughout the auction and put the BIN price in at the very end but was outbid... Then she was relisted again that very same evening... and this time I won her for under the BIN price, so I was quite pleased. She's adorable! I love her little smile. (Meanwhile Ho-ho looks rather displeased that she did not arrive at a beach...)
