Note to self

Just because you've walked through the Bay toy aisle unscathed countless times does not guarantee that you will continue to do so.

I loved this guy as a kid. Was a bit sad when I heard later that he died. The funny thing is that I was so young when I watched the cartoon that all I remember is one scene with Bumblebee, and that I loved Optimus Prime.

Interesting pic!

But now Optimus Prime shall live forever with you! He looks very happy and protective hanging out, there on your couch. :)

Very spiffy toy aisle find. :)

Thanks :D lol. He's on the computer desk now.

And the formerly Dot is wondering if she can bring some friends along. They're in about the same shape she is. And Sienna might be glad to see one of them, because they were friends here.

Aww, sure thing! The more the merrier! Sounds like they're going to need their own apartment, though. I'll start getting one of the shelves on the "bookshelf of dolly housing" cleared off for them and carpeted. :)

Thanks for letting me adopt them!! Lemme know when to start pacing in front of the mailbox. :)

The guy will need a head, but any tanned Ken type head should fit. Candace is coming without her wheelchair because the girl who gave it to me wants it back, so she'll need some sort of chair and somebody to help her with things. Oh, and hair >_>

:D It'll be a little while. I've got parcels that were promised before them. But it shouldn't be too too long.

WOAH! Really!

Ettiene and Candace are coming!?!?!? WOW!!!! (happy dance! happy dance!) I'll run out and see about getting a replacement wheelchair for Candace today (there's an antique/old stuff store just up the street from my house that had one when I was there the other day!), and I'll have ton contemplate Ettiene's head. Poor headless guy. And hair... wigs for former Dot (who might end up Dash if that's okay with you?) and Candace... hmmm... and a head for Ettiene... hmmm.

Wow!

Just WOW! I am so excited!!! Oh and they are DEFINITELY going to need their own places! Ettiene can move in with Jackson, and we'll have to see who adopts Dash when she gets here, and I think I know just the caretaker for Candace and Oh! Oh so much to do!! OH!!!!

You just made my whole week. :)

P.S. Do you want anything/anyone in trade? Anything you need for the kids who are staying? Let me know! :)

[identity profile] raumfee.livejournal.com 2007-08-20 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL. Candace can't see either. Oh, and Tikvah is also coming. Anyone in your doll family up to a new baby?

Trade? Well, Molly needs a shirt, but she's a bit broad for Kelly stuff. The dress I bought her wasn't up to the rigors of pocket life. And the big Obitsu's still wanting her head. But I think I'm pretty good dollwise.

*Hug*

I remembered that Candace was blind also, but I also know she's a sweet girl with a strong, joyful spirit, and Sienna liked her a lot. So this will be really good. I'll see if we can't find her just the perfect wig, and the at least she'll have some hair, even if she doesn't have her sight or the ability to walk.

Hmmm.... I'll have to contemplate a head for Ettiene. Do you know if any of the Obitsu colors will match him? He seems darker than Logan. Is that so? Hmmm... ponder. Maybe when he gets here, we'll take a trip to the store and I'll let him choose his OWN head.

Awww... Tikvah is more than welcome here... and I had just been wondering why I had all this baby Rement stuff laying around, and I think I even know who she'll be adopted by. We'll just have to wait and see!

Okay, so now I need to make up three bookshelf apartments and one of them needs to be baby/childproofed. :)

I haven't seen a Dollfie Dream head running around for you, but I have been keeping my eye out. You wanted a DD head specifically, right? The second I find one, it's yours. I just haven't seen one yet.

Oh goodness! So much to do! Yaay!!! No hurry on sending them out (though i am really anxious/excited to meet them) but let me know when they are on their way, so I can start pacing in front of the mailbox. :)

Candace is voting for pale pink. Ettiene is too dark for any of the Obitsus, I think. He'd probably like the head shopping trip. Heh, not too baby proof, she hasn't managed rolling over yet.

Yup yup, DD. I'm good for waiting :D. Lol, I picked the body up today and was startled because I'd forgotten that her torso is soft.

I'd been saying that Candace used to be a champion level skier, but had an accident with a tree, but feel free to change that. None of these guys but Dash has any clothes, really. The guy's in his underwear, Candace is wrapped in a piece of cloth, and Tikvah has her blanket and a TP diaper.

I will let you know!

Long live the dorks.

I think pale pink is probably quite do-able. :) Tell Candace not to worry, we'll go wig shopping together when she gets here. Wheel her on down to Denver Doll Emporium. It'll be great. :)

Bummer about Ettiene and the obitsu heads, but I'm sure we'll find him just the right head to show off his charming personality. :) What was he before? What kind of action figure, etc? What's his story?

(nodding) I can't imagine why I would change Candace's story. And strangely enough, the doll that's her caretaker (and niece, I think) is terrified of skiing and has been since I got her (a lot of my other 1:6 kids ski.) Dun dun dun!!! I guess it all makes sense now.

No worries about clothes. Boy clothes, I've got some of. Girl clothes for Candace... oh yeah, a bunch. Baby stuff... well, I'll work on that. I need to find a Barbie sized baby crib and probably carriage too... (nod, nod, nod). I'll hit a couple of stores on my way home tomorrow from school and see what I can find.

I am so excited. Just beyond tickled. I think Sienna is excited about seeing Candace and Ettiene again too. Thank you so much!!! (happy dance! happy dance!)

Back to apartment designing. :) Viva la dorkesses!!!

:D

He used to be a Max Steel doll, but I was trying very hard to make him into Gung Ho of the GI Joes. A tough as nails badbutt guy who'd never dream of dissing or hurting a woman. He was a member of a huge family, with older and younger siblings. If you want I can show you the fanfic I was basing this version of him on.

Heh, isn't it so cool when all the stories fit together?

XD I'm so glad this makes you happy :D

[identity profile] priestessofnada.livejournal.com 2007-08-21 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I hope you're happy about it all too. I am beyond tickled. :)

Won a wheelchair for Candace on Ebay about half an hour ago, so hopefully that'll be here when she gets here.

Uh... I also won an auction for a nice looking guy that I thought might be Ettiene's head, but in the world's strangest coincidence turns out to be a MAX STEEL DOLL. GAH! So maybe he wouldn't want his old head back. Weird. Just plain weird. Well, we'll see when he gets here, I guess. But apparently that head had better be around the house, because most of my Obitsu girls find him "dreamy". (shrug) So we'll see. :)

Anyway, yes, it makes me very happy. And I am honored to have more of your family coming here to be my family. Thank you for entrusting them with me. They will be much loved. :) And there will be pictures a plenty. Oh yes... yes there will. :)

Thank you so much. This is going to be fun. :)

lol, yes, his old head wasn't bad looking.

You are very welcome :D And thank you.

Oh, I've changed my mind about the DD head.

[identity profile] priestessofnada.livejournal.com 2007-08-21 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Changed your mind to what? What kind of head would you like? 'Cause if you need a blank obitsu head, when I order a body for my kitty head (just wait 'til you see her. She's WONDERFUL! And the lady who's painting her is painting her sister for me too!) I'll have a spare blank head.

Let me know!!!!

[identity profile] raumfee.livejournal.com 2007-08-21 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Whatever is easiest to get. lol. This girl's whole theme is recycling and stuff that's not wanted much. I'm not big on the default Obitsu head. But I can live with it, and I'll proly grow on me because it'll be 'mine'.

Ohhhh, *looking forward to pictures*

I'm so weird>_>

Ahhh, a Transformer plushie! Delightful! Talk about the best of two worlds - a *soft* robot! ^^ As a small girl I was in love with both Bumblebee and Starscream (after watching the movie I definitely want to marry Bumblebee).

[identity profile] raumfee.livejournal.com 2007-08-20 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
They had Bumblebee in the store too! :D I really like him as well. He and Prime were my favorites, but Prime won in the choosing.

The really cool thing about these plushies? THEY TRANSFORM! XD
