The Wellie Wishers have a new look--new meet outfits and new boxes. Some lucky early birds were able to order them already, but look to their official release later this month. The outfits on all five of the original dolls will be updated versions of their originals, generally speaking more costume than play outfit. Along with the costume-like theme, the material for the bodices are more stretchy "swim wear/leotard" type materials and lots of tulle netting on the skirts. The new doll, left, appears to be a little shorter than the original model and the face mold seems a bit fuller. The eye ..read more

So excited about the sudden rush of limited edition RRFF dolls being introduce from different shops around the globe. And now from Spain, Marianella. Marianella is exclusive to Mi Tienda Nelybel. She is the Dianna Effner #2 sculpt, also known as the "Daisy" sculpt. However, Marianella is her own poppet with a completely new face up and gorgeous arctic blue eyes.  Even more exciting, Marianella comes with two removable/interchangeable wigs--a whimsical wig of blonde curls and a long wig in a deep red. I love both her looks, which is probably why I pre-ordered her right away. Mar ..read more

This patriotic looking girl has popped up without commentary twice on Happily Ever After's fan group on Facebook. Will she be a new limited edition offered this summer? USA's Fourth of July or perhaps France's Independence Day on July 14th? Or maybe she is a bit of a Japanese nod to Sailor Moon and/or Japanese school girl outfits. Love the kawaii purse with a plushy bunny friend inside ..read more

Something new for 2021 in the poppet corner. My first Paola Reina doll arrived at the start of the new year! I hope you find her as lovely as I do. Paola Reina Las Amigas dolls are made in Spain. These poppets are 32 cm in height (12.5 inches) and the basic body moves at the neck, shoulders and hips only. Her hair is rooted and is very thick and lovely. These poppets are relatively inexpensive--a doll without outfit is a mere 20 Euro (24 US Dollars). However, shipping from overseas can double that cost and these dolls are difficult to find in the US. Purchased through Dolls and Dolls, a com ..read more
