Alyrenee's Copious Spare Time

  Once again, old news.  But this doll was a HARD NO for me so I straight up forgot to share. It is as if Jessy specifically designed a doll for me to hate. Y'all know I don't do gowns.  This one is so big it would need it's own Detolf display shelf.  I do not have that kind of display real estate at this point. I also do not 'stan' Vanessa.  Neither 1.0 nor 3.0 has remained for long and there are currently non on my shelf. I do like the crown...but could not justify buying the whole thing for the crown. I do like cape drama...but could not do it. The screening is very pretty though.  However, I am super duper bored with this low chignon center-part hairstyle that we seem to be seeing a lot. Also, these rising prices are forcing me to be more picky. Jessy indicated in an interview that this might be a little taste of what is coming for convention.  Please oh please no. I am sure some will be thrilled, but I have no use for this type of look. Item # 915...

 This is old news at this point...lord did I SQUEAL when I opened this email.  I am a sucker for mini-luggage.  I ordered a set without blinking. I am really hoping we get a few more coordinating pieces among the convention offerings.  I am also really hoping for a matching trunk case for one of the dolls...like an old school build-a-giftset situation. That would be swell.  Item # 15100 Luxe Travels Luggage Accessory Set (Doll-sized) The 2021 Integrity Toys Virtual Convention: Obsession Edition Size: TBD Expected Ship Date: Early Spring 2022 Retail Price: $150.00 (Only $25.00 Due Now to Pre-order!)

 Really fun set.  I managed to resist ordering anything as I just had to shell out a SHOCKING amount of money for the upgrade dolls, Smoke and Mirror Vanessa, and the Agnes from last convention.  Oye. Anyway, the styling here is fun and the concept plays out nicely across the dolls.  Item # 46016 Enigmatic Reinvention Navia Phan™ Dressed Doll Meteor™: The Roaring 20's Remix Collection  Limited Edition: 1000 Dolls Expected Ship Date: In-stock.

So, of the hundreds of Jem doll potential variations, nowhere on my lists are these two versions of Roxy. I know that Millionaire Roxy was ranked high on the Jem wishlist poll done by the W Club a couple years ago.  Personally, I am more interested in getting fashions that are in more than one episode.  And while Roxy has definitely had fewer releases than both Pizzazz and Stormer, I am not sure that I needed TWO.  All my kvetching aside, I do LOVE the Hasbro screening.  Totally in love with it. The outfits look really well done and I was lucky enough to win the right to buy.  But yeah, two dolls seems overkill.  Especially when we REALLY need another Synergy.  And I think another Zipper and non-hideous Eric would sell well.  I am also still dreaming of another Danse release with a different sculpt and without a shovel face and with more colorful hair (mine has that caved in face thing happening).  I want an ice skating version!   I...
