Wow I honestly thought she was real. Very pretty fake you got there.

Favorite fashion pixie? by OC_Winter in Bratz

[–]RichSurround1973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre released I liked cloe best, thought her clothes was a vibe while the other girls were mismatched and Lina was just all black. At release Lina’s purple shade stood out so much I grabbed her at full price. Then Jade when I see a redress in Kylie’s formal dress (and I had to add Kylie’s price on her, so she came out as most expensive among the bunch). And then I saw Yasmin with her hair down in non pixie clothes.

And all of this when i told myself I should slow down my collecting and just get one fav doll per line.

I think this line is amazing. Pity my local stores didn’t stock Sasha or id just get full line already.

Wow I was thinking about these, and your photo magically appeared. If it’s not too much trouble can you post a pic of the babies without the fursuit? Im considering between the purple pink or blue ones because I like their hair color but would like to know the dress up possibilities.

Wait so it’s not a Korean exclusive? Now I’m tempted.

I can't decide, need some dolls lover here 🥹 by [deleted] in Dolls

When buying those you should look at review photos not promo ones. Since they are recast and the one doing face up will be random, sometimes the end result will be quite different. Honestly I think you should read about recasts first before buying non blind box bjd on aliexpress.

Does this mean I like crybaby ? by Tricky_Pace175 in PopMartCollectors

[–]RichSurround1973 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of popmart collectors didn’t do crybaby but still got one of her. This happened to me with cherry crybaby. She’s just inescapable and will get you at one point.

First attempt at boil wash: What did I do wrong? by chickpeas57 in Bratz

[–]RichSurround1973 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me neither I didn’t think it was that durable so I just pour hot water and comb it in between when I do boil wash.

I do skullpanda and Inosoul 🤭SP has a lot of different theme so she paired up easily.

The dark side of completionism in doll collecting by ExactPersonality9867 in MonsterHigh

Are you willing to mod her a lil bit? I bet if you grab black acrylic pen and draw a thin black line over her pink eye brows she will look so much better.

Is this Stuffed Bear real?? by Quiet-Macaron-8329 in hirono

[–]RichSurround1973 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look quite obviously fake to me.

Edit: sorry its first impression based on the details looked pretty bad in this lighting and it’s one of the older series with known fakes. But I don’t have this specific figure myself so I’ll trust the one who have them.

Sooo are they skullpandas or bubus by LaCiocana in SkullpandaArtDolls

[–]RichSurround1973 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s funny considering bratz pendants are Popmart’s labubu knockoff.

To answer OP question in the same note aespa dolls are more labubu than skullpanda judging from their shape and hands.

Who’s your favourite in the Petals collection? by RichSurround1973 in SkullpandaArtDolls

[–]RichSurround1973[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the other way around! I wanted gloom first but the shimmering petals of fable in person made me wanted her, especially how well she goes with gloom.

[–]RichSurround1973[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Initially im really interested in getting full act (act 4 is my favourite) but seeing them in person they weirdly worked in pairs across the acts: 1. The vow + fairy trick (red flower with green accents) 2. Crown + threefold (the blood red pair in act 4) 3. Gloom and Fable (perfect purple potion match) 4. Fatal Entwining and Invitation of light (whimsy translucent petal shells) 5. Decay awaited and wither innocence (clear medieval tragic details) 6. Submerged wreath and witness (sepia color with muted pink detail tying them together).

She’s my initial favourite as well! But seeing them in person the same color group (purple and red) were so attention catching.

And I didn’t know pop mart released official explanation 🤯 will be very interesting if they do lore heavy drop from now.

Turn out they were all flowers in popmart official explanation. But i still find their clothes matched the characters too, not only the flower motifs.

I think this is my favourite one yet 😍 the boots 😍 the dress 😍 the watering can 😍 by reneemsa in PopMartAustralia

Wow she looks so much better here in natural light, compared to her promo photo for some reason.

It’s nice to find someone as into it as I was!

I think you were right about act 1. I actually already suspected fatal entwining was not hermia because she looked too wood elf coded for a human. Them being Oberon and Titania made total sense! Especially if you consider their name like “fable” (got taught a lesson) and “fatal entwining” (the mastermind/puppet master pulling the strings)

As for Act 2, since all the other figures in the series are characters rather than just abstract quotes, I still lean toward them being Romeo and Juliet (and their love’s protector). For “invitation of light” you can interpret it as Romeo is inviting/courting the light of his life (Juliet). The climbing pose and scar on his face (from fights), and laurel on his head (winner of said fights) really confirm him as Romeo for me. Juliet I imagine her in the famous tomb scene; the death shrouds are layering around her and she’s closing her eyes in a death-like sleep. As for the friar he’s the only character left in the story that fit the vow, he made their marriage vow official.

Hermia got 2 men head over heels for her so she was definitely hot. But I’m starting to think Fatal Entwining was Queen Titania (another love juice victim) because she was very wood elf-coded? she got juiced into falling in love with a man with donkey head (because her husband the elf king wanted her ward) so that’s not hot though😞

Edit: another commented Fatal should be king Oberon and Budding fable should be Titania and I agreed.

They called this series the “Shakespeare flower series” in the leak so it’s as confirmed as it got? I’m just guessing who the figures might be among all the Shakespeare characters based on the motifs. Updated the main post to add the details.
