But I probably wouldent have bought her that day annyway, since I dont buy dolls on impulse. All weekend I was looking for info about these dolls. I found some online stores, with a good wide variety of dolls - I discovered that they allso have some boy dolls, which im pretty happy about. I allso reread a wonderfull review by Emily on the Toyboxphilosopher. And I have been looking at many good and interesting pictures. I really got a good idea, of which dolls I liked the best.
Monday we went back to the store, and I looked closer at the 7 different dolls they had. I really liked 4 of the folls they had, but I allready knew I wanted the redhead. We asked the sales clerk to let me hold one of the dolls in the window, so I could get a better feel of it. I was happy to walk out the door with a new doll.
When we got home, I started to take her out of her box. She was super easy to get out, as she was only hold in by a few rubber bands. She is allso super easy to get back in again, I think thats really
awsome.
Sorry about the colors, im still figuring out my new setup. |
Her cute green dress, has beautiful pink details. I normally dont like pink and green together, but for this outfit I think it looks good. Her clothes is good quality, her tights feels warm and the dress seems sturdy.
Her shoes are actually made of leather, instead of plastic. They sit verry well on her feets, but they are a little hard to get on and off.
Her hair is a pretty red color, and I really like how it has some wave to it. Its shiny, smooth and easy to manage, but the hair fibers feels a little rought and not as silky as I would have liked it to be. The hairband she is wearing is easy to get off but pretty hard to get on again.
Im in love with her face. I think her greyish blue eyes looks verry realistic and detailed. She has fake eyelashes, and they look good. But when I look closer I can see that, some of the lashes have the tips broken off. Her mouth has a verry cute shape, small sculped details, and a natural looking soft rosy color. Her freckles are subtle but verry pretty. They look ghand painted and are the best doll freckles I have seen. The way they are spred across her face in various sizes and shapes, looks verry natural. The only feature in her face that isint verry detailed, is her simple eyebrows. Even her ears are pretty
detailed.
I really like having this doll sitting near me, so I can enjoy her pretty face and cute outfit. I feel like I have bonded with her, and I think im gonna name her Emily or something simiair.
Im pretty sure I want these Paola Reina dolls to be in the story I had intented for the Hearts for Hearts girls dolls. I want to buy more Paola Reina dolls instead of H4H girls. There is some things about Dell that annoys me and make me feel like she dosent rally work for me. Its not really about who I like better, as I find them both to be verry pretty dolls. Dell actually have better hair and more detailed eyebrows, + she looks more mature. It mostley come down to the fact, that H4H girls are hard for me to get. It can get verry frustrating, looking for a doll that is hard to find and when found is verry overprised.
Dell is speciel to me, I really like her and I will keep her. But right now, im not planning on getting any of her friends.
Hej Freja. Jeg har også Paola Reina dukker (mange), men jeg vidste ikke, at man kunne købe dem i Danmark. Vi er en del dukkesamlere, der er aktive i en facebookgruppe Dukkesamlere i Norden. Hvis du har lyst og er på Facebook, kan du jo melde dig ind. Det er kvinder i alle aldre, der samler på alle mulige slags dukker. Vi inspirerer hinanden og udveksler erfaringer. Jeg har også oprettet en blog, men har desværre aldrig fået skrevet noget. Mange hilsner Susan
SvarSletHej Susan, undskyld det sene svar.
SletJeg var også meget oversasket over at se dukkerne, i en butik her I danmark. Butikken er Børnenes Magasin i Århus.
Mange tak for invitationen til facebook gruppen, jeg vil helst klart tage et kig.
Jeg har kigget på dine flickr billeder før, jeg kan virkelig godt lide det tøj du har syet. Du har nogle rigtig pæne og søde dukker. Har du god erfaring med Tonner og Ellowyne wilde dukker?
Ja, jeg har god erfaring med Tonners dukker. Han har jo også lavet Ellowyne og venner fra Wilde Imagination. Det er dyre dukker at få til landet, fordi, der kommer told oveni. Jeg har sommetider købt på ebay fra en forhandler i Storbritannien. Det er også dyrt, men dog nemmere. Det er ret store dukker, så de fylder meget. Jeg tør slet ikke fortælle, hvor mange jeg har. ;-) De ligger i kasser for tiden, men jeg får nye reoler på tirsdag, så de kommer snart frem igen. Det glæder jeg mig enormt til. Ligesom dig kan jeg også godt lide at gå og finde små ting til dukkerne. Jeg går også sommetider i genbrugsbutikker.
SletTak for dine pæne ord om mine dukker.
Jeg har også sendt dig en hilsen på Facebook. Måske skal du lige kigge i postkassen under "andre" (tror jeg, det hedder).
Vi snakkes ved. :-)
Jeg har haft et godt øje til Ellowyne wilde, i et godt stykke tid. Men Jeg har ikke rigtig plads (eller råd) til store dukker, og jeg tror at jeg foretrækker dukker der er omkring 30 cm. Deseuden ville jeg have svært ved at vælge, og mine ynglings er udsolgt. Men jeg håber at jeg en gang i fremtiden, har plads til nogle ellowyne wilde dukker.
SletDet er så træls det med told, når man køber fra USA. Jeg håber virkelig at det er noget der bliver ændret.
Jeg kan godt forstå at du glæder dig til, at du kan sætte dine dukker frem igen.
Jeg har set og svaret på din besked på facebook
Jeg har også haft kig på livdukkerne, men det er aldrig blevet til mere end at kigge. Du kan se nogle af mine dukker her:
