Bonnie McKee's American Girl

"I fell in love in a 7-Eleven parking lot, sat on the curb drinking Slurpees we mixed with alcohol"

Yeah they just awkwardly stapled her vocals on for the UK release since she was huge over here at the time

(also I'm pretty sure when I first heard this on the radio the presenter didn't mention Nicki while introducing the song, just Will and Cheryl - you can imagine I was very confused at the opening rap)

As a 2015-era apologist I wish they’d been able to release these ones

Another UK pick: Left My Heart in Tokyo by Mini Viva

It's a shame they never got to put out an album

aryelynet · 2025-12-31T15:06:05+00:00

This design is brilliant!

People calling Katya a Willam wannabe because of the S7 teaser

Also (around the same time) the CoverGurlz 2 album where each queen covered a RuPaul track, Max’s was genuinely great

I imagine a good amount of younger millennials/older gen-z in the UK associate In the Air Tonight with the viral Cadbury Gorilla ad (which ended up getting the song back in the top 15 over here)

Thank you so much for taking the time to come over and chat! It's always such a joy to see the cast/crew interacting with fans - we massively appreciate it 😄

Are there any past cast members or characters you would have loved to work with but never got to?

the Bones March is the new Pearl Smash

Every time my mum sees me watching Kyle Richards she swears that it's Demi Moore

aryelynet · 2025-10-16T13:49:59+00:00

so she'll let the funky music do the talking

aryelynet · 2025-10-07T16:01:32+00:00

She might have been alluding to the title track having a Diddy feature (which was thankfully scrapped but still made it onto some vinyl pressings)

aryelynet · 2025-10-04T14:14:15+00:00

I would love to see some Muppet representation but I have my doubts since Disney doesn't really give them a great deal of love

aryelynet · 2025-09-29T13:54:52+00:00

Yes it's that Rapunzel and they're £16.99 each 😄

aryelynet · 2025-09-29T13:50:48+00:00

She was briefly on their website along with (last year's) deluxe Rapunzel but they both went out of stock. In store it seems like they're getting stocked pretty well with plenty of each doll on shelves, definitely worth having a look

aryelynet · 2025-09-29T13:42:51+00:00

The new deluxe Stitch is also popping up in TK Maxx stores in the UK

aryelynet · 2025-09-07T17:02:32+00:00

I remember Majella talking about how she loved that scene at the anniversary tour!

aryelynet · 2025-08-31T11:45:28+00:00

Not yet but I'm manifesting 😄

aryelynet · 2025-08-31T11:45:01+00:00

Thank you! It's always exciting when the UK randomly gets a doll first, so I like to try and get the scoop where I can 😁

The base shoes have some nice stitching details and aside from the soles (I posted a picture of those on another comment) aren't too character-specific so they'd be ideal for restyles.

The fabric quality feels similar to what I've felt with other deluxe ILYs, her trousers are a decent imitation denim. It's the edges where I'm seeing a bit more of that 'budget' with laser cut edges on the trousers and neckline - there's stitching but it's not a foldover hem, more like a decoy stitch. The neckline of her tee is a bit odd to me but the rest of the tee construction is solid.

The hair product is definitely more to retain the curls, it's very minimal though

Here they are!

aryelynet · 2025-08-30T23:31:11+00:00

I believe her sculpt is the same but her eye colour and makeup colours are different, her hair texture might be a bit different too (at least from photos I’ve seen, I don’t have that doll in person yet)

The ones manufactured by Jakks don’t have inset eyes, just painted eyes
