A 5 Dollar Day

It was a good Saturday.  No extra work to do.  Weather was nice.  A lovely day.  The day was made even better by my finding a toy for $5 or under at every store I went to.

Target $4.48

Toys R Us $4.99

Ross $4.99
I only need Hayden to complete this line.

Tuesday Morning
Box Price $4.99
Cash Register Price $3.99
40% Clearance Price!!!  $2.39 *twirls*

Tuesday Morning $2.99

I knew that the Dora outfit was too big for my girls but I wanted to see if it would fit any of my guys. The shoes don't fit ANY of my dolls, flat footed or tippie toe, so they are a bust.


I took the ribbon off the shorts and stuck a safety pin inside for adjustment and it's fine.  There's no opening, they just slide up.  However, until I took it out the packaging I didn't realise the top actually has straps in the back.


Yeah.  Not very dude-ish.  Then I thought maybe this is a job for a Power Team guy 'cause they have massive chests and maybe it will fit better.

He's looking alright! Good serve, my man.  But again... from the back...

Straps and a flat butt.
 
Perhaps a Moxie lady should make an effort.

Hey!  I can work with this! 

A lot of adjustments will have to be made though. 

LOL, she looks like a Stegosaurus dinosaur.

Ah, well, it was still a good day.

    1. LOL, Sergio. *watches you dance* When those Stardoll packs first came I could care less. But now that I've found one for $4.48 instead of $14.99 I think they are very cool, lol!

  3. Great purchases!!! You were very lucky! I LOVE the Stardoll set. Maybe you should take the needle to fit the clothes better, the outfit is great in the last doll and maybe with a little sewing work it will be perfect!

    1. Hi, Rossetti! I was lucky. I even found a penny in the street that day... that always brings an extra bit of luck that lasts throughout the day.

      I was going to take a needle to the outfit but then I started thinking that at some point I want to get a Gavin Moxie Doll and they are HUGE. I'm waiting for my Toys R Us Rewards though, ^_^, and then I'll see if it fits him before I start snipping it up.

  4. All were great buys.

    There was only one Stardoll fashion at Target the last time I was there, the one you purchased, but it was 7.99 or more. I left ot there.

    Sorry the Dora fashion isn't working for your girls or guys. It might fit better on a taller doll like Moxie Teenz, maybe.

    1. BDG the Stardoll fashion is at the 70% mark right now but so far I only found that one even though I went to two Target. There are three more in my routine so I'm going to check those as well.

      The lady doll I tried the Dora outfit on is a Moxie Teenz body. I'll try the Moxie Teenz boy whenever I get him.

  5. Lucky you, what great buys. The dora outfit looks great on Barbie from the front and I've seen window dressed dummies with the same fitting outfits in the back - but maybe not a high fashion look. Fun though.

    1. Thanks, Carrickters! I remember a long time ago when I used to shop at Lane Bryant (a plus size store in the States) they used to put plus size clothes on non plus mannequins and in the back you would see all these clothes pins. I think in later years they just switched to plus size mannequins as well.

  6. Great buys! Never see this at any stores near me! I'm always to late and they are already gone! I did finally see S.I.S dolls in my Walmart for the first time ever! I guess my store is finally moving up? ( well after a few hundred or so complaints from yours truly , I guess they finally got annoyed with me bugging them!)

    1. Thanks, Acerico! I like the purple dress too, but there is something about it that makes me want to fiddle with it. For now it's safe in its packaging though, lol.

    1. Hiya, Pam and thanks a lot! The new Stardolls should be released this year so maybe the first versions will be making the rounds to other Countries soon.

  9. Great purchases! Ironically, I purchased two Stardoll clothing packs for the same price at Target and I bought two of the Afro wigs at TRU. I was so excited to see them. Debbie (at Black Doll Collecting) told me that they were at TRU. I kept hope alive and finally found them yesterday yay! The interesting thing is that I went in there "just" to see what they had because "I am on no doll shopping" until after Wu Con....that lasted only a second once I saw those wigs. Lol! I ended up getting another type and some Liv stuff on clearance.

  13. Great new buys. I picked up 2 of the Stardoll packs @ this price. I wanted the one you have pictured & the set with the heart sunglasses. I love the MT curly afro wig. I think I have 3 of them. I saw the LIV dolls @Marshall's. They're clearanced @ $4.50 so far.

    I put the Dora outfit on one of my BFC Ink dolls. It seems to fit them well. I'm talking about the 18" for those who don't know.

    1. Dollz4Moi, I'm going to do some running around to see if I can find some other Stardoll packs at this price. I'll check out Marshall's too to see if they have some different Livs. My Marshall's has the smallest toy section though.

      I've never seen a 18 BFC doll... or a smaller one for that matter.

  20. Hhmmm I wonder if you can shrink dora's clothes down to size to fit maybe washing with hot water or something, that sounds like an experiment Dr. FrankenMuff!

    ReplyDelete

    1. Jay, I'm going to give that a try! The clothes are made of jersey knit so they might shrink. There is a linen strip on the side that might pucker but i'll deal with that. If it does shrink I'll let you know!

    2. Jay, I tried it - didn't work. Oh, well, lol.
