Recent 1/6 Scale Dolls and Goodies From Goodwill

  Having health problems recently means I haven't been out much. I have been very few places,and haven't even stopped at my favourite Goodwill most of the times I have happened to be near it. I have stopped a few times, especially lately,since I have been feeling better. I have made two hauls in the past week or so,and only just brought one in from the van that has been sitting in there ever since before  I started feeling so awful! So, to start with some of the latest 1/6 scale finds, here's what I was lucky enough to get the last couple of times I stopped at my favourite Goodwill.
  Any time you're lucky enough to find fully dressed dolls at Goodwill,especially with their shoes, it's a good day! These girls were waiting for me. 

The bigger girls were $1 each,and the Strawberry Shortcake Lemon Meringue was 50 cents.
Disney Descendants  Signature Evie Isle of the Lost doll,complete with her shoes.


Disney Descendants Signature  Mal Isle of the Lost doll. She's wearing her complete outfit too.



Ever After High Ashlynne Ella. 

 
This is the one from the set that came with the Hunter Huntsman doll I got at the flea market last fall. She was shoeless when I found her, but I found this one shoe floating around loose in the tub of dolls she was in, and put it on her, just because. It turned out to be hers! I didn't see the other one, but the tub was pretty full of dolls. Maybe it will turn up at some point. She does have a mark on her face I need to clean off, but it doesn't look like it will be a problem.


Ever After High Apple White. I have another one of these,which I showed you before,but this one is complete, including her bolero jacket,tights, and shoes.



This means I can use the other one to experiment with repainting a doll. Wednesday night Ken and I stopped at the same Goodwill on our way to Valentine's day dinner, and Ken spotted this for me!


It's Apple White's bed!
 


Plus it had some stuff in the drawer.


There was the little mirror that attaches to the bed in the drawer too.


I also got another Ever After High doll, Raven Queen.



This one is Getting Fairest. I'm amazed she still had her shoes,considering they are mules, and have no rubber bands on them.
  This little Strawberry Shortcake friend,Lemon Meringue even has her hair do dad.


And I got yet another Tinkerbell! And she's different from any of my others! How many millions of these things have they made?!


This Chelsea friend is technically dressed, but her clothes are painted on. She even has her shoes though.


Speaking of shoes,remember I got a few Project MC2 dolls,but they had no shoes? Well somebody I brought home from Goodwill the other day ended up wearing these MC2 shoes...

I dropped one bringing the stuff to where I was photographing it,but I did get two.
 I did get a few naked dolls too, that were too pretty to pass up. This Mulan is one.



This Mystery Squad Drew. (I already have one, so she won't be staying.) She needs some stuff removed from her face.


This tall Fashionista. I don't like the dress she comes in anyway. I do have to find her something to wear now though.



This especially pretty Disney Store Belle.



This Elsa. Which one is she?



This Barbie Swan Lake Fairy Queen doll with the Teresa head sculpt.

 


I have a couple, but this one still had her headband. When I got home I noticed part of it is broken off!
This Liv doll.


The jointy body is always handy.
I did pass up a Happy Family era Midge that was especially pretty,because I think I already have that one,and she had a chewed hand. Afterward I thought that I could have rebodied her and tried customizing her. Oh well...

When we were there Wednesday evening I found this Disney Store singing Coronation Anna.

She's pretty, but her song is really annoying.


I buy most Anna,Merida, and,to a lesser extent, most Tangled Rapunzel dolls I see. I wish Anna had had her clothes, but maybe I'll find them some day too.
I also found some really cool 1/6 scale accessories. For one thing, I saw this Barbie Smasheroo jacket laying on the shelf on the other side of the doll aisle!


It's the real vintage one, not the repro! I love this outfit. I have the repro doll and outfit, but the vintage one is so plush. This one has a small brown spot on the left shoulder, but I think I can probably clean that off. Other than that it's minty!
  I got this owl picture frame,this electronic violin,and this Pirates of the Caribbean chest too.


I'm pretty sure this is just like the electronic violin I got for Emma when she was a kid. Emma plays the violin,and I bought it for her Emma the Doll.


It runs on batteries,and plays when the bow touches the strings.


 I also got these three Melissa and Doug mini crates. They are slightly big for 1/6 scale, because they are about 6" wide,but still could be useful.


The top one has a board missing, but I'm thinking I will probably make something 1/6 scale out of them anyway. I'm not sure what yet, but I'm thinking. I could always fix the one with a popsicle stick too.
  Way back when I was feeling really bad I was out to go to the doctor one day and felt the need to actually do something, since it had been so long since I had. One of the things we did was stop at Salvation Army. I found this mini plant pot and this wooden shelf.


The plant pot is definitely  1/6 scale, but the shelf could be 1/6 or 1/12. As a bonus,I already have one that matches it!
  Those are my 1/6 scale goodies. Next time we'll look at some larger dolls I also got.

Doll-A-Day 2017 #152:Disney Girls:Anna,Elsa,Aurora,and Cinderella

   Yay! Last day of the Goodwill dolls. I'm glad, because I'm getting tired of talking about it! Today we're looking at some Disney dolls I got in The Hauls.First up, a quick look at these two.


These are some simple Frozen Elsa and Anna dolls.Unfortunately Elsa has molded clothing on her torso. Her sheer over thingy was on somebody else,but I got it!Poor Anna is completely naked though.She doesn't even have molded on clothes.


I hate to ruin complete and mint dolls, but since these girls are essentially naked, I'm thinking about trying a repaint on one or both of them.
  On to the other dolls. These two were naked, but these dresses, which suit them fairly well,were in the bag of clothes I got.


Aurora,from Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella, are both Disney Store Classic dolls.

Stupid camera wouldn't focus on both of them at the same time. That's what happens when I have to hold them and photograph them by myself, and,like most people,I only have two hands.

That means they have nicely articulated arms...



...weird soft click kneed legs, and bodies that don't fit Barbie dresses very well.

That bodice is a little baggy.

Cinderella didn't have enough chest for her dress,and Aurora's dress wouldn't close in the back all the way.


Their articulated arms are very graceful,but a bit thin.


Both are beautiful dolls,but of the two I think Aurora wins.


 

She also reminds me of Morgan Fairchild.




She has more detail in her eyes than Cinderella.


Plus her sideglance eyes give her alot more personality.
The hair on these girls isn't the greatest though.


 
The hair on both of them is crispy,even their bangs.I've seen dolls have hair that gets crispy on the ends. But why is hair as short as bangs,which have probably never even been combed,just as crispy?



It's been said many times, but it's still true: Disney Store dolls have awful legs! Better that they keep them covered in these long dresses.




And that's it for the dolls I got in one week,(three trips,) to a single Goodwill. Shew! That took a while. I was excited about them when I got them, but once I started doing the posts on them,there were so many other dolls I wanted to feature,and I couldn't until they were finished. So I am relieved to finish them up and move onto the dolls that have been waiting in the wings.Tomorrow will be a random doll I may or may not have gotten at a thrift store at some point! Come back and see what it is!
