A Philly Collector of Playscale Dolls and Action Figures

I'm shocked and excited by the fact they are producing a Black MTM Ken because, to my knowledge, Mattel has only ever produced one articulated Black Ken (the cheerleader one). I think these all feature new or modified sculpts (exceptions possibly being the brunette and blonde dolls).

From Papusilemele on Insta.

I hope they use the higher quality screening and don't have polypropylene hair. I know that is a big ask with what Mattel has been producing as of late, but we can hope.

I'm getting a lot of Barbie Basics vibes from this line, which is pretty cool. I'm also glad to see the entire range of MTM bodies are being included (the blonde doll is tall and the black-haired doll is petite)

The debris of his spaceships have landed on land that is considered a wildlife reserve for endangered-species.

Its home to an extremely rare beetle (the Boca Chica Flea Beetle.) known for its golden brown hue. This beetle is classed as a ‘Species of Greatest Conservation Need’.

And a little known ant species that hasn’t even been given a scientific name yet! (Its only been found in one other place in texas and Nicaragua.)

Oh but that’s not the end of it!

He’s been buying off local politicians and judges, bribing them with free teslas and campaign donations. That’s how he’s managed to get away with the mess he’s caused so far.

But, he fucked up. Because the locals here were furious with how he’s treating the environment and the news stations caught wind of it. And to save face, donated 30 million to the city.

He’s also been buying off properties here and after his tweets asking people to move here its obvious prices are going to skyrocket(he’ll make lots of money). But this in turn with push locals out and gentrify everything. And because we’re all Latino and non-white, and most immigrants no one will care!

All of this for the sake of ‘interplanetary exploration’ and living in other planets!

I don’t want other planets!

Kawaii! These little kitties aren’t just unbelievably cute, they’re also edible. They’re made by a Japanese mom named Caroline for Neko no Hi or Cat Day, which takes place each year on February 22nd.

Cat-shaped treats seem like a wonderful way to celebrate how much you like your feline friends. These treats are cat-shaped nerikiri, which is “a traditional Japanese sweet made by mixing shiro-an (sweetened white bean paste) with gyuhi (made of glutinous rice, similar to mochi but softer).” Caroline sculpts her nerikiri cats and kittens into various sizes and poses and then uses edible dyes to add distinguishing markings and fine details. She even makes little accessories for them, like tea sets and pillows for extra-comfy lounging.

Based on the effort that goes into making these sweets, it seems likely that Caroline’s family probably has at least one real life cat of their own and we’re guessing it leads a wonderfully spoiled life.

Yea and??? Mattel is a multi million company who probably won’t hear my complaints. I don’t see it as complaining…more like harsh criticism… lol And as much as I complain, I praise as well??? The recent Fashionistas line is imo really trendy with their fashions and  re-introducing older lesser used heads(Kira & Tango), and the inclusion of the new body types for the boys has me very excited. It’s sad when you know what Mattel can do (and have done).  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tempting.. Mainly because of her hair. But I’m not sure about her face. Maybe its her eyes, or the fact I’m not crazy about pink lipstick. Even though it looks like its got more depth than Barbie’s pink ;3 so i dig that. Or maybe its the photo doing that. :e or maybe its her head, looks long. But I dunno I could be tempted. I think these Fresh Dolls are Target Exclusives? Right? Correct me if I’m wrong.. I hope these are Target Exclusives, i don’t go to target much. But I might order her, or one of her homies. Maybe the chickie with the Afro, I dunno.

Show gratitude to the people in your life by:

1. Sharing a specific example of something they did for you and how it made a difference in your life.

2. Doing something little but thoughtful for them.

3. Giving them a hug (or just making them smile.)

. Telling them you’re there if they have anything they want to talk about—and letting them know they have your full attention.

5. Inviting them to do something you know they’ve always wanted to do.

6. Encouraging them to try something you know they want to try, but haven’t yet because they’re scared.

7. Offering to do something you know they don’t enjoy doing.

8. Complimenting them on a talent, skill, or strength that you admire.

The best way I’ve found to get those annoying plastic tabs out of doll heads.
