I did get Amaya and yeah, I was right: all that slime stuff and plastic crap sucks. Tossed the slime, put the unicorn and crystal thingy in the give-away toy bag that I take to bazaars and kept the purse & shoes. I mostly like her but she has a mega-butt-load of tinsel surrounding her hairline. I'm seriously thinking of pulling it all out. I don't mind a little tinsel, but this is just too much for me even.

Face is cute. Don't mind that glitter on her face too much.

But that tinsel hair. What do ya'll think? Rip it out? It's all strictly on the hairline and easy to pull. There's just a lot of it so it would take a while. I suppose I could leave a few bits. Thoughts?

I ended up plucking most of the tinsel out of Amaya's hair. I like it better. Meantime, I managed to find some sales at Wallys and indulged a bit. Only $15 for this set. Love the outfits. Now I'm going to need to rehome my original Sunny tho since I don't want duplicates. They had almost all the Halloween costume dolls for $17 each, but not the pink witch that was the one I would have bought. Oh, well. Maybe someday, maybe never.

Whoa $15 for the twins? That's an amazing deal! I've got my eye on them, too. I don't have a Luna or a Sunny and Sunny's outfit especially is so cute!

I'm still on the lookout for a reasonably priced Runway Poppy Parker with the butterfly dress. The cost is dropping on Amazon, I'm hoping I'll get lucky and hit it at just the right time that it will actually drop below retail. I still can't find them in any Walmart or Target in this area. And it never seems to be available for shipping, either.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it and I did walk away since finances are so tight, but then I caved and went back and got them. I get my best deals from Wallys and it's always a surprise. They just one day mark them all down and bam, they get snapped up fast! Otherwise, I've gotten good deals from Amazon or Target online. Wallys online is always overpriced. They have a lot of third-party dealers who mark everything up. I can't rec them, but Target online will sometimes surprise me with some good deals. If I see a Poppy I'll grab it for you. They had a couple of the other high fashion ones for $17 think but I didn't care for them. Jade for sure. The other I don't remember but not Poppy.

Wow, that Amaya is really pretty, kenaiqueen!


Fashion Poppy is on the Target website for $30! Shipping only but still, that’s a better price.

Thanks for the heads up! My local Target actually has them in stock so I managed to snag her before she disappeared again! :

So glad you got her!

I tried my new pink dress on another girl and it didn't work at all. I think Bella is going to the closest I can get to looking pretty good, but I think one of the RH dolls with pinker hair might be better. I could have put it on one of my white-haired girls but I like the way they look now. So here is Bella being pretty in pink.

Maybe this will sound weird, but do you have a girl with green hair? The contrast might look interesting. Or maybe one with yellow hair? I'm not sure which dolls you have. I think the isse is the undertone. The pink is a cooler undertone, while Bella overall has a warmer undertone.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll try putting her next to some of the others and see if anything hits me. Meantime, I made a list of all the RH dolls and indicated which ones I have. I don't want them all...I think I was just interested to see if any patterns emerged other than my obsessive need for white-haired RH dolls LOL!

I have 39 RH dolls. Such an uneven number. I think I may have to even it out to 42 eventually.
