I am a dork, it's true.
Mar. 27th, 2017 05:39 pmAhhh, finally getting off my ass and assembling this. I've had part of this review done for awhile and the rest, well... I'm lazy.

AG pics that suck due to weather
Sep. 9th, 2014 07:21 amSooooooooooo... my BF batch arrived. I restrained myself and ordered Addy's Meet, Addy's School Outfit, and Samantha's Meet dress to start myself off with. Because Mattel is clearly not content unless they're in the middle of a new launch and screwing something up, all the Meet outfits that claimed to have a hair accessory included for BF's debut (so everyone but Addy, essentially) is lacking one in the actual box. I'm biding my time til they've upgraded their reaction from, "so sad, too bad" to "we'll put you on the list and send one out as soon as we get them in stock."
Also, the pictures really do suck because it rained all day until just before I got too tired to stay awake any longer. Then, of course, the sun came out.
( As PC did, so shall we. We begin with Samantha. )
I am most satisfied with all three of these purchases and I'm looking forward to having enough fun money to purchase more BF goodness in the future. :) I can also say that I recommend each outfit, although I really do think Sam's new outfit requires a bow or some kind of hair accessory to set it off. I plan on eventually caving and buying her accessories for the necklace, so that might help, too.
( Bonus pictures! )

Archival madness!
May. 20th, 2014 04:20 pmAG rAGnarok officially kicks off today with the archival/retirement announcement of the best friends line.
Ivy, Ruthie, and the NOLA ladies, Cecile & Marie-Grace, are all being sent off to the archive this summer. I'd imagine that even if they linger, they'll be yanked from stores, catalogs, and online by the time BeForever begins on/around August 28.
( Pics or it didn't happen? )
And with that my collection now contains exactly one doll not archived/retired/or set to be one of those. And she's been customized...
I'm ticked that Ivy got the short end of the stick since she was introduced but I do hope that maybe they'll take the time to do something for an Asian Historical instead of being able to point to Ivy and say, "Look. Done."
The interesting thing about this archival is that none of these dolls has been around for even ten years. Ivy is the oldest in that she was introduced in 2007. Ruthie came out in 2008 just before Samantha was archived, and the NOLA girls appeared in 2011.
This also wipes out the grey eyes in the line with Ruthie, and MG's eyes are unique as well.
I do hope we'll be getting another doll one day soon with MG's mold as I think it's adorable and works very well outside of her Meet hairdo.
Cecile, you shall likely forever remain one of the two dolls whose Meet outfits I find beautiful on their own. Stay strong, my CeCe. I love you dearly.
New stuff (likely not much) coming Thursday.
