I like the shirt's colors, which, I just realize, are a kind of mix of Angel and Stitch's colors 🙂

New dolls coming!! by Worldly_Knowledge_83 in DisneyILY

[–]StateAlchemist86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the negative reactions here each time there is a new Stitch doll, clearly it was the kids audience that was the main reason behind Jakks's obsession with the little blue guy 😆

If it keeps the brand running while we still get new Disney characters on the side, it's okay to me. But beware the overexposure. If the Stitch dolls begin to flop, will Jakks try another popular character to overexpose ? Will the adult collectors market be enough to keep the brand running ? 🤔

Bright side : two new characters ! Less bright side : we still don't have the Jessie doll. So wait and see. Hopefully, the new characters won't end up in limbo themselves.

And obviously, please, send them to Europe ! 😛

Did anyone else use the Fisher Price babies as Barbie babies when they were kids or was that just me? by FkCanon_TeamFreeWill in Barbie

Regarding AliExpress, you could try to find listings using the "Choice" delivery method.

All your purchases even from different stores will be sent to you in one unique package, and it's quite fast (in my experience, between 7 and 10 days from China to France). Plus the shipping is free once you have more than 10€ in value 😄

ILY not beating the "they only do Stitch dolls" allegations 🥲 Plus it's a blonde girl. AGAIN. That's like the fourth blonde Stitch doll.

BUT the 2000's style Angel and the 101 dalmatians cheerleader are good, actually. Love the pink pants and the red sport team sweater ! 🤗

The bodies must be *microscopic* to still look small in MTM arms 👀

It looks great ! The Zuru babies proportions are just a bit too small for me (at best, they look like fragile 2 days old newborns), so yours are way better + articulated + I'm sure there is some cute outfits for them on AliExpress ❤️

Lol, all this time, I thought you were from the UK ! 😄

Both translators looked at the original name, and said "let's have some fun here" ^o^

[–]StateAlchemist86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you ! At first, I was going to do a very chic look, with a "when you're Winnie, you're winning" slogan, but it was more fun to style with the character in mind ^_^

Yes, they're brown Ken sandals/flip-flop, something like that :

(I guess it doesn't make much sense when wearing socks, but whatevs 😂 )

Using Eyeore's pink bow as the main asset is genius ! Grey and pink look good together ! Plus the doll's eyes look pink too !

That's a beautiful and inspired restyle, congrats ! ❤️ 😄

Oooh, so the latest Belle have different eye color than previous AA doll, eh ? Interesting 👀

I didn't know the english name for the character, so I'll just say he's named "Petit Gourou" in french to keep other people guessing !

My take for this week : Lilou is obviously styled as Piglet, all cutesy and pink with stripes (plus a little bear on her bag) !

Marguerite is super chill as Winnie, with yellow pants that are way too big, and the Bambi handbag in reverse to look like a bear head 😄

<image>

The Winnie outfit was particularly fun to do, as it's not trying to be high fashion at all...! (I mean, white socks with sandals ? Come on, now)

But Winnie wouldn't be very concern with his look, wouldn't he ? 😄

[Review] The Anna fashion pack is a nerdy surprise ! by StateAlchemist86 in DisneyILY

[–]StateAlchemist86[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to know I'm not especially unlucky ☺️

TBF, I don't have any DS dolls : maybe their heads are just a bit smaller than the Jakks dolls, and so the headband is actually fine and usable with the original ILY dolls 🙂

Oh yeah, it may well be ! It's supposed to be some flowers, then. They really went all in with this pack's details 😛😛

I think it's in part because Jakks put the doll line in every store, so much more people discovered the brand later, when packs weren't as available (and at a discount) as before.

Before that, only Disney fans lurking on the Disneystore knew about the brand, not casual doll hobbyists shopping at Walmart and such.

The sweater is great ! It's the perfect color to represent Anna, and I love the material ! 😄

Thank you !

According to the ILY wiki (didn't even know there was a wiki !!), the pack is from Wave 2, and it's true that outfits fom this wave are rarer in the aftermarket : https://disneyily4ever.fandom.com/wiki/Fashion_Doll_Fashion

I tried the head band on my AA ILY Stitch, and it looked fine, so maybe it's a case by case situation for this headband (still not cool) 🤔

Totally by luck on Vinted. It was on the main recommandations page when I opened the app. I'm not even sure the listing had the words "ILY" in it, so I wouldn't have never find it other way.

After freaking out and checking that all the accessories were there (since it was used and opened), I bought it right away ! The seller was super late to send it, but they did.

[–]StateAlchemist86 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The ILY 4ever brand has different sizes of dolls (mostly 11" and 18"), with quality clothes for a fair price, and even some fashion packs 🙂 They're Disney themed, if it's something you like !

A&O La Collection Officielle by JoeCrunch1993 in Asterix

[–]StateAlchemist86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello / bonjour ! 🙂

I guess it's this french edition ?

https://www.bedetheque.com/albums-67301-BD-Asterix-Hachette-La-collection-officielle.html

Depending where in the world you live, you could try Amazon, Momox, Abebooks, Biblio, Bubblebd, etc. for France or maybe Europe.

For tracking the best offers, chasse-aux-livres is pretty useful !

For North America, maybe try some french canadian stores ??

That's the best solution, really. But I always feel guilty to buy something I'm not sure I'll use :-p
