itty bitty cuties

Cass asked me if I wanted/needed anything from Disney as she wanted to get some stuff for K but didn't have enough to reach free shipping. Had I been more awake, I would have asked her if there was something she saw for K and wanted me to buy first, and then looked around after I figured out what kind of amount I should be eying.

I'd been awake for maybe half an hour at this point so clearly I did not use my brain. To be fair, the weather changing has my face hurting to the point that actual thought is not easy even now so...

I fell headfirst into the nuiMOs section and drowned from the cute. Someone, somewhere, posted about them (again, my brain is not firing properly) and I noted they were cute and went about my day. Um, then I saw Kermit dressed up and I died of cuteness right then and there.

Look at this:


Dead from cute. I'm so sorry. Little known fact about me: I love Miss Piggy. So little known that Mums thought it was Cass or someone else who loved Piggy. I admit that she's not my usual kind of character to love but sweet baby boy who lived, kid!me adored her. My love is usually contained to just cheering her on in small clips or awwing if I see Miss Piggy stuff in the wild. I am pretty sure the only legit merch I have is a pair of Piggy Muppet Babies Happy Meal toys from when I was a kid. Pretty sure they're still around.

Anyway, I waffled a bit on whether to get Daisy or Piggy even though I wanted Piggy more despite fearing she's not as versatile for outfit changes. Mums pointed out that I could, y'know, just get Piggy and Kermit and so I did. Kermit will live in that outfit while Piggy will wear whatever. I figure if I decide she's got an outfit that just works, I will find a new itty bitty plush to dress as I'm sure the machine that is Disney will churn out more. I am fully aware that these are tiny, btw. But that Kermit! Also, I dig the fact that MP is apparently one of the tallest they've done in the US and while Kermit is allegedly the same height, he looks like he's about the size of a postage stamp. And based on review pics, he appears to actually be shorter so Piggy is still an amazon.

So Cass ordered and now I must wait for them to arrive.

Meanwhile, I have been trying to figure out which releases have already sold out because it's Disney and you fucking know they have something already. I swear, I thought the Disnerds were more organized than this. Every other time I've thought to look something up, they've got 50 billion checklists of stuff you missed in the millisecond it took you to blink. What gives, Disney people? It's not like I'm necessarily looking for the international releases. Just the stuff the US has done since *checks notes* January 19. I've found a few but nary a single checklist and I am irked by this. Don't make me do my own work, internet.

Later, when my brain stops thudding, we shall bitch about books.

surprise!

You might recall that when the Sweet Street collection hit pre-order status, I grabbed a good chunk of it even though it wasn't set to be released until the end of the month. Well, AG's backorder dates have always been a bit funky and my order has been shipping out a little bit at a time. First came Courtney's jacket and high tops, which makes sense since they weren't on backorder. Then the nifty jacket came off pre-order and shipped and it got here last week, Friday maybe? But all last week the rest of my pre-order stuff came in and I swear, they sent almost all of it separately. The blind bags were in one box and the skirt/jumper wound up shipped together but everything else came by itself. I thought I'd be getting mail ALL week but today uh... this happened:



I heard the mailman scanning everything as he carefully placed them in two stacks of three. Unfortunately one of those stacks was right by the ditch (it's not a ditch but we have a walkway and the sides are definitely tricky and deep and feel like a ditch) which was water logged due to yesterday's rain. So I grabbed them after giving him plenty of time to leave and here's the leaning tower of mix and match separates and blind bags. Huzzah?

I did open everything and Kira will later play model, but I've had maybe three hours of sleep at this point so I'm going to nap a bit more, I think. When I return we shall admire AG's pleathery pants. Oooh, ahhh.
