I’m thrilled with getting this Jade and her expensive Skullpanda friend! I spent way too much time fawning at their the design & color pallet!
Jade’s boots are to die.

As a kid I was so scared of asking for a Bratz or evening mentioning it because they were seen as “ugly/trashy” 🫥 but my girls are just so much fun! So this week I was like, what gives, I’m make my kid self happy 😆 and here she is!

I got couple more on the way from the Pixie collection & the ‘25 Bratzaversery! I’m so excited.

I had so much fun hunting for the specific beads, curating them on the bracelet and finally found this heart shape clasp and aaah this one is complete. One glass bead is broken but I still love it so it’s staying for now.

Anyone else got into the hobby in their adulthood?

On the left is a Oueneif doll and the right I got off Vinted second hand (for £50ish)

Growing up, I thought I just didn’t like dolls… today I understood that I actually really love them but I’m very particular on what I like!

Turns out it was all about 2 things:

1. Ease of movement (bjds)
2. Style & customization

Simply put, my childhood dolls didn’t keep up with my imagination & beauty standards 🤣 which is absurd for a kid, no parent would buy a doll for £50-£150ish when all the kid does was draw on their faces, cut their hair and somehow keep breaking their limbs! (It’s me, yes, I was that kid)

Now in last month… i bought an articulated Dimoo toy from Popmart because it looked so darn aesthetically pleasing and i have been collecting their small figurines for 4 years now. And it clicked! I absolutely loved it, it sits nicely, and it looks amazing… so i got another one. Then I started seeing the Skullpanda 1/6 action figure from a different lense and here I am! I just went into the rabbit hole of finally getting absolutely obsessed with this hobby that I thought was only for little girls who have no creativity (I’m sorry, I was very judgmental). I am also interested in sculpting and I enjoy it tremendously so just the thought of one day creating my own doll got me so excited for the future first time in years!

I feel so odd only starting to have interest in dolls in my 30s, but I’m also in a journey of just being in peace with myself so go figure 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

I just got these two 1/8 action figures and I realized that I actually have a nice cohesive collection!
It’s cute, soft & uplifting (yes, the Capybara & Beaver are essential in this set up)

Every other character collection I have I kinda bought in a binge-buy episode and was aware that I was collecting but my Dimoo collection grew organically & slowly! So I’m quite happy about it. 🏃🏻‍♀️✨
