And night falls on the city…..
Yes, I am a bit crazy…I started this 1 month and 5 days ago….I am still staging all the rooms, but finished up the structure and lighting tonight, so I was excited to share.
The first photo is no other light in the room; it creates quite the glow on its own. Second photo is with the overhead light on.
**I have taken some liberties with moving pieces, flooring, etc.
I compared, contrasted the new Minnee dolls with other mini fashion dolls from decades ago: 1981 Glamour Gals, 2004 Mini Bratz and 2001 Fashion Polly.
Then I restyled them with their fashions! The results were impressive. I was pleasantly surprised by how cute they looked 🩷

I deleted my last post which was the wrong project/wrong place; I got into both Minnee and mirror mi mini mi this week.
The 16 points of articulation on the Minnee are:
1 head (removable)
6 shoulder/elbow/wrist
1 waist/bust
2 hip joint
2 thigh swivel
2 top and bottom knee joint
2 ankle/foot joint
I picked up Roller Derby, Candy Boutique, and Cat Cafe. I used the peak at the card cheat, very carefully peeling the stickers and gently popping the bottom open. I did my best to leave them looking untampered, it’s a great design that allows a cheat without damaging any of the blind bags, objects or inserts and without crushing or damaging packaging, which I think was a good choice knowing how motivated consumers have been to foil blind box methods, attempt to return unwanted duplicates, and damage packaging, that their design keeps that in mind, and will keep their stock in sale condition.
The Minnee is delicate and requires the limbs to be taken off for tight clothing pieces, nothing has broken yet but I am extra cautious every time I style them. My candy boutique’s top split at the side seam, It’ll just have to be her permanent top.
The hair is very soft, I like having both a curly hair and a straight hair doll so I can brush the straight hair but leave the curls styled.
This doll can probably get into more creative poses than the mini mi’s, but I did take a couple of Minnee’s in the mini mi travel box for science. If the mini mi stand arm goes around a chunky clothing item or their waist + 1 arm or accessory they stayed put well, but I was also too embarrassed to get them out of the loud plastic box out and about, so I found I prefer to travel with them in a small front pocket, and with certain dolls and accessories they’ve been able to float in a pocket without losing accessories or looking too rumpled.
10/10 this week has been big for sad news and these doll drops have brought me some joy and creative play.
Hello MinneeMadness havers! This is my first Reddit post, I've been seeing so many post about clothing these little dolls so I've made an Etsy! There's only a few items, it's very new, but I'm looking for suggestions too
I didn't see any rules against ads but if this isn't allowed please let me know!
There was 9 boxes at my local Walmart and they ended up being all the dolls. I'm so excited that I got no dupes! Though Comic Con didn't come with her glasses, and half of Cat Cafe's bang fell off so that's a bit disappointing.
Her abdomen has a crack! I really don't want to break her, so I can't bring myself to keep her. Amazon offered to refund me $3 to keep her but I just can't with how annoying it was for me to pull the money together to get her.
I had ordered one at the beginning of the month but had to cancel my order to recoup funds for a different purchase. Then I ordered this one and she arrived like this. I was literally jumping for joy awaiting her this morning and now I am just grateful I get to play with this one until the exchange arrives. Then I'll take this girly to Staples and maybe someone else can overlook her defect.
I also really wanted this one because of someone's Tinkerbell restyle I had seen on here.
There is one huge silver lining to this situation, my fiance supports me with my dolls already, but when he had seen how tiny and articulated they are, he really understands now why I was so excited to finally get one. So I'm happy I'm in the clear to get more Minnees as long as we have monies lol
They look adorable in the Boba&Books shop I put together. Sadly not all 9 could fit in the set up but I think it’s ok lol
The idea of an outfit made from an elastic band is just super.
I just got this one today and I can’t get over how absolutely adorable she is! She’s my favorite so far!
