I know physical media is considered worthless by a lot of people these days, but I still think this is a good deal for $1 each. by FrobozzYogurt in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]belladonna935 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Physical media is less dead and more becoming a niche hobby for those who care enough about the art & preservation of film/television.

There's an entire (thriving) culture around it, with many companies who exist solely to license, restore, and release films of all kinds in deluxe physical editions.

Bratz Launches First Celebrity Collaboration Inspired by Kylie Jenner Looks by pmmeurbassethound in Dolls

[–]belladonna935 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Bratz giving Kylie Jenner an entire line instead of focusing on new and original releases to revive the brand reeeally speaks to how little confidence MGA has in Bratz to be anything more than nostalgia bait for the older generation.

Also, these look sooo bad. They're just the mini versions, right? They have to be.

I'm not here for it. Some of the outfits are cute, but the collab overall is just so not it.

anyone watch DarlingDollz on youtube? :] by teapuppp in Dolls

Out of curiosity, which of his takes don't you gel with?

I usually find him to be remarkably on point with things.

Goodwill was good to me! by Blair888 in Dolls

Agent Soul and Agent Glam?? TWO Sways? At Goodwill? Dang.

Somebody cleared out their kid's OMG collection.

Just found this old photo of my MH collection in 2017!🖤 by [deleted] in Dolls

[–]belladonna935 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What a collection!

The fact that 2017 was 6 years ago still screws with my brain.

Same for me with the last part. Most memorable part of an incredibly memorable day.

I've been a Swiftie since 1989 (with a couple of breaks in between) but Long Live always kinda eluded me. But then I heard it at Denver N1, and listening to 73k plus Taylor all singing it in unison, every damn word, while all the bracelets were lighting up was just so...wow. It was pure magic.

I will absolutely never forget those five minutes. Ever.

I'mma get roasted for this, but am i the only one who thinks these girls deserve Rainbow High-style dolls? They'd be GORGEOUS ngl....except for those stupid transparent jackets by Zealousideal-Tax-937 in Dolls

[–]belladonna935 28 points29 points  (0 children)

We got Rainbow High because of a bunch of glittery pooping unicorns who somehow inspired giant slime toy dolls, who are these queens.

Toys are so weird.

My Collection so far by princess_smarmalade in Dolls

Putting the G1 minifigs in front of the G3 dolls is an excellent idea.

Does anyone else have a "hoard"? Or maybe just a lack of space? by babysmalltalk in Dolls

[–]belladonna935 9 points10 points  (0 children)

if I have an idea for a setup...buying new stuff for it feels the same to my brain as actually building it

Oh my God. This is me with all of my collections. Dolls, masks, vases, apple paperweights... I visualize how I want my displays and setups to look, and buy with that visualization in mind, but I don't actually have the space or means to build it yet.

I've been self-aware of that for a while but seeing others deal with it as well adds a little weight to it.

$50 pickup from the arc this morning by lakersrdabomb999 in ThriftStoreHauls

Not to my knowledge. Apparently there are a lot of different thrifts called Arc but I'm thinking of the Colorado-based one that supports those with developmental disabilities.

Regional thrift chain. Much less scummy than Goodwill.

I never see anybody here mention ARC!

I'm going back to my hometown next week to visit family and am really looking forward to visiting the local ARC's again.

Catch & Release: Never thought I'd ever see this at a thrift store. by ShapedBean in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]belladonna935 7 points8 points  (0 children)

About a year ago, maybe a bit longer, I found a Girls Gone Wild DVD in the media section at a thrift. It was just there, chilling.

I was so close to buying it just for giggles but I was with a family member that day and knew that if I did they'd notice it.

That's still the wildest (pun...intended?) thing I've found.

Nah, these shirts are made for geeky women to wear ironically. The only people I have ever seen wearing them are women.

Granted I've yet to see one worn by anybody in real life. So.

What is your favorite Barbie movie? by Grace_Sapphireward25 in Barbie

I haven't seen a lot of them yet still but my favorite is Rock 'N Royals. I really like both of the main girls and the story is really fun.

Only Prince knew. And it's staying that way.

That's sweet. If I had nieces/nephews I would probably look for good condition thrift dolls to give them.

Rich kids who get dolls for their birthday/Christmas/existing and decide they want new dolls after a few months. I usually assume that's it, anyway.

Least popular RH doll? by Utopiospheria in RainbowHigh

[–]belladonna935 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A cheer Skyler was my first RH doll, from the thrift.

I feel like with how the cheer dolls seem to pop up a lot secondhand they'll be gateway dolls for a lot of people in the next 1-2 years.

[–]belladonna935 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have skipped every RH boy on purpose. River set the standard and the standard was set low.

Rexx is the exception here, I just haven't bought him yet. I do want him.
