Doll-A-Day 2023 # 211: Spot Splatter Splash LaLaoopsy

  Today's doll is from a line we haven't looked at for a long time. I still love them though. And she has a pet too, like yesterday's girl. She's a Lalaoopsy.

She's about 9 inches tall.

Specifically, she's Spot Splatter Splash. The story on her box says she 'was once a rag doll who magically came to life when her very last stitch was sewn.' 'Super creative and loves bright colors, big messes and eating spaghetti.'

She has the typical Lalaoopsy button eyes and stitched facial features.

She even has stitched in detail to her printed curls.

  According to her original box, she was sewn on October 25th, from painter's pants, and is 'Creative 'n' colorful'.

Since she was sewn from painter's pants, she has paint splashes on her clothes.

The back of her dress has a place for her owner to write their name.

Lalaoopsy dolls were made by MGA Entertainment, who also made Bratz, Diva Starz, and Moxie Girlz. (They sure did like to spell things with a Z.) These days they have had a success with Rainbow High dolls. (Not RainbowZ. You're slipping MGA.)

She has cute printed boots, since she's a plush version, and not one of the vinyl ones.

She also has a pet zebra, as she is from a series that all had pets. The others in the series were Jewel Sparkles and her cat, Peanut Big Top and her elephant, and Patch Treasurechest and his parrot.

He's a cute little guy, also with paint splatters and button eyes.

But while her button eyes are plastic, his button eyes are stitched.

  That's today's doll. See you again tomorrow. 

Doll-A-Day 2023 #210: Baby Beans and Pets

 I told you we weren't finished with Baby Beans yet! Today's doll is another Beans! She's a Baby Beans and Pets doll.

She's the most common size for a Baby Beans, around ten inches from head to foot.

  Not to be confused with the beans Pets dolls, made a few years earlier, (There was a dog, and a bear.), the Baby Beans and Pets doll were sold in 1976. 

There were three dolls in the series: a girl with a cat, a boy with a dog, and this girl with...a chicken?

Just a girl and her chicken.

  You might think a chicken isn't a pet, but my sister and I had pet chickens when we were kids. 

I have a chicken!

My sister's chicken, Bilda, loved her so much, he had to be held back so he didn't get on the school bus with her. My chicken didn't love me as much. I was very little, and probably much more annoying. I don't think he much liked being put in the cardboard box house I made for him, even if it did have a cool Dutch door.

    They really wanted to make sure this girl didn't lose her chicken.  She has Velcro on her hands so she can hold onto her chicken.

There's also an elastic strap so she can put in on her wrist.

And this chicken is still stitched to her hands! 

They really wanted her to keep her chicken, but that's a little overdoing it, I think.

But I like my chicken.

She has a cute  Baby Beans face.

And a chicken!

 This Baby Beans has something a lot of Baby Beans dolls don't. She has hair all over her head.

She has auburn hair in two ponytails. 

I don't think the lace ties are original, but they're cute.

A lot of Baby Beans dolls have hats, and hair only rooted around the edges.

She has little sideburn pieces on each side.

  All her clothes are made to her body and not removable.

She got wet in the Room of Water. She has dried now, but as you can see above, she has some mildew stains on her apron. (Stain Devils to the rescue!) Also, her bottom started to mold!

Her weighted bottom is kind of hard, even for a Baby Beans.

All new materials. That's good----ground nut shells?!

     There were Baby Beans and Pets paper dolls too, made by Whitman.

  Well, that's all for today. Bye from me and the Beans.

And my chicken!
