Poppy Parker 2018 W Club Dolls Galore: Split Decisions and Looks a Plenty

I don't know what sort of black magic kung-fu David Buttry has...but damn if that Poppy isn't irresistible. December was a bit whackadoo with end of the semester higher educational hijinks...combined with a minor snowstorm (laughable by the standards of this Chicago ex-patriot but serious for the non-snowplow owning south)...well the blog got away from me. So here is a recap.

Sidenote: Oye...you just know that every last one of these pre-ordered club dolls is going to be in stock on the same damn date and we are all going to be selling a kidney to pay for these. I was semi-clever and bought a gift certificate for the Elyse balance when I ordered her (and while I actually had the money). Hopefully I can do the same for these two gals as I sell off some of my current gals to make room for the incoming onslaught. 

SOOOO MANY POPPIES!!!!

So the W Club has been well-off the regular pace this year and we did not get our second club doll until early November. I had not even gotten my sleep cycle back to normal after convention...and here they throw a Poppy Giftset at us...with a BERGDORF CLONE! I love everything about this girl. That outfit is so adorable. Those boots are killer. I love her face and hair. Love it.

Yup. She's coming to my house. I am not as wild about the other doll. She is cute but neither her or her fashion are doing it for me. If I cannot off-load her at a decent price, then I might take a scissors to her hair and make it short. I have been wanting to make a short hair poppy to go with Hold that Tiger (since I sold Big Eyes....gulp). Maybe this one could be the victim.

The Story: Shopping for the perfect look is not always easy, but when she can find time in her busy schedule to visit her favorite stores, our gal Poppy doesn't compromise and always gets the best. A real fashionista is not afraid to dare and our favorite teen model knows how to look fabulous for every occasion! This fantastic duo-doll gift set brings back (by popular request) one of the most sought after facial screenings of all time for Poppy and features two separate, fun and modern looks that are sure to become the staple of your Poppy Parker collection! Included: Two 12.5" fully articulated dolls with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes; The first doll comes fashionably dressed for a glamorous day of shopping in a waist-length faux-fur jacket over a lovely pale metallic lamé blouse that features an oversized bow tie. The look is completed with a pair of high-glam faux-leather shorts; The second doll comes fashionably dressed in a chic metallic sheath dress with net overlay, that features a removable pleated cummerbund/sash that allows the dress to be worn two different ways; Beaded chain necklace; Hoop earrings; Pearl stud earrings; Oversized sunglasses; Two bracelets; Two finger rings; Purse; Quilted boots; Black pumps; Shopping bag accessory; Certificate of authenticity; Doll stand. Okay...now a month later, they dropped Divinely Luminous Elyse on us during the boring as HELL Dolly Days (not that I had any money to spend anyways)....and then BAM on New Year's Day they hit us with the 4th Club doll...ANOTHER POPPY GIFT SET!!! This one totally had me with the blue hair. She is going to be amazeballs with Pink Ciao Poppy. I cannot friggin wait. I don't need the other two though. I should be able to unload the blonde. The red gal is very cute and if I cannot sell her, I might just make her the short hair victim instead.  I continue to find the museum stand concept BIZARRE.  Luckily the holes in the base fit the regular doll stand poles...so the bases make for a nice stand grouping instead of a macabre dismembered doll display. They are selling a body completer pack (as they did with the Faces of Adele set) so you don't need to creep out your significant other any more than your doll collection already does.
