henrys toy box!

also we have confirmation that magic mixies pixlings are dead. a representative said in an email that they are discontinued. what a shame. they were so refreshing and yet moose toys doubled down on the awful packaging and not coming out with simple box variants. im just missing the long hair ones but im in no rush to try and get them tbh.

she has survived my mothers trash hoarder house and two moves. she is one of maybe four things i still have from my childhood. she doesnt have her original dress but im just glad she is still here.

theyre nowhere near the $60 they cost though. all three mirrors did not work for me. i tried and did every step with all three and they all failed when the doll was supposed to swing out. only one of them displayed the talking face in the mirror. and now i have three huge plastic mirrors that dont work. i am glad that there is a way to put another doll in the mirror and that the mirror is a fortune teller. but it is a waste overall.

look at who i found on sale for $16 each!

got these two girls in! my first two actual glam squad dolls. i considered also getting the TMNT one, but i just didnt vibe with her very much. i say first two actual dolls because i do own the three strawberry shortcake fashion packs theyve released. (i believe strawberry herself was not included because they were going to make a doll for her, but it never came out.) overall i think theyre cute, especially for $5. they capture the old licensed barbies i adored that were just fans of something, like the barbie loves shrek doll.

im still on the hunt for the fashionista fashion pack, as ive heard from others that they seem to be phasing the dolls out? idk how accurate that is, but i havent been to a physical 5 below in a while. im also on the hunt for the new dollar tree fashions, because ive seen the green dress and the workout outfit and they are so cute to me.

trefalkyr

rawlsong

rivenbeak

and last, vipenroar!

these guys all have unique head sculpts, which is neat! there are two body types, two wing types, and they all share the same tail.

this being in two halves actually is nice, because these first four were the originals to come out and got an ad on tv, but the next half are way more rare to find.

ironscales

cirrusfire

serpentorch

and last, cycloneblaze!

im starting with the illuminas series! this is part one of two, as you can only put 10 images in a post lol

i just completed this series, and frustratingly found out im only missing one krystal. i originally thought there were only two metal colors, but turns out most of them are slightly different. there are 4 head sculpts, 2 dragons per sculpt, and each sculpt has one translucent head and one solid colored head. there are two tail types, and three wing types. cycloneblaze has unique hands (though they are reused + sized up from another line.)

sorry for the bad lighting, but here is my dragon shelf currently. you can see 6/8 of the illuminas series dragons, the other two are in the box with all of the battlemorphs. ill eventually take more pictures, but this week has been really rough.

i had two mega bloks dragons when i was a kid, serpentorch from battlestorm epic, and iceblaze from the battlemorph. i loved them so much, but i would lose parts of them over the years until i had nothing left. i always wanted each line, but they were rather expensive so my mother only got me one from each wave. so in 2020 i decided i would try to get them. i started with serpentorch and iceblaze (i was even able to get him in his box.) and then it took me five years to track down the others.

i completed battlemorph first, which i do believe was the very last dragons line to be produced. (not counting dragons universe, which is considered separate.) the odd thing about battlemorphs was that they got a tv ad, however they only showed the first (and most basic) four dragons; iceblaze, clawshock, fangrene, and balefyre. however there were 8 figures in all. the first four shown in the ad just so happen to be the easiest to find, and around $20-40. the other four were a pain in the ass to find and they do not show up often. trefalkyr, rawlsong, rivenbeak, and vipenroar. they also were the most expensive, even out of the battlestorm epic line, between $50-100. trefalkyr by far is the easiest to find, he pops up occasionally (and usually confused for fangrene because theyre so similar) but the rest is like, maybe once or twice a year.

then there is battlestorm epic. second to last line to be produced, and got no tv ads whatsoever. im specifically talking about the illuminas series, the ones with the plasma krystals that plugged into their egg and then into their chest. trying to find these guys is harder than the battlemorphs, and i believe it is due to the lack of promotion. the easiest to find in my opinion is cirrusfire, serpentorch, and ironscales. harder are blazebasilisk, fireptile, and cycloneblaze. and the hardest are sunblott and especially darkcrown. even harder is finding them with their krystals, i believe only half of mine have their krystals. and even then, they easily loose their color over time.

shes a radio disney pop dreamers ariel/ari from 2002! she even came with her box and manual, but theyre put away right now.

her whole gimmick is that you press on her right foot and she sings! mine still works, but shes very quiet. and then she says different things depending on what click on clothing piece you have her wear, there are little prongs inside each outfit that snap into holes on her stomach. her bag and guitar dont affect anything, theyre just plastic.
