A doll as often as I get around to posting...2024

The 3 pack is already sold out on amazon in the UK. The only place I can find them is on ebay for £25-£40 for 1 ball!!!

I'm really struggling after a dental implant (pain and vertigo) so I treated myself to some "feeling sorry for myself" retail therapy.

This is a large action figure of Ahsoka Tano. She lights up and talks, but her elbows don't even bend! At least I got her on sale.

Hope you feel better soon.

Oh True, you are really having it tough with your health recently. I hope the pain dies off soon and you feel better. I'm glad you treated yourself though. Ahsoka looks cool and extra cool that she lights up.

Dental procedures always knock me for a loop. May the Force Be With You for a prompt and complete recovery.

That's a nice looking Ahsoka figure! I bet it looks pretty cool on display in dim light with the sabres illuminated!

Thank you all! I took her out at what was dusk a few weeks ago but is no longer dusky enough to show off her lit lightsabers. I need to go out again when it is nearly dark.

Can the light sabres be turned on for a steady glow, like for display or as a night light? Or do they light up for a set period of time and then turn off?

They turn on and off, or flash and turn off. There are two buttons for light and sound and if you aren't careful she says two things at the same time!

So tempted.

My teeth hurt but I want these...

Yum!! The minis are always up to mischief, aren't they? She seems to be saying "you know you want them!!"

She got her way.

Good for her!

But what are donettes? Also are twinkies all they are made out to be? I think sugar is the sustenance of dolls. Ash would certainly argue so.

Donettes are the greatest of the Hostess products. Chocolate covered, powder sugared, or rarely coconut mini donuts. No doubt full of terrible things but so delicious.  I've actually never been much of a Twinkie fan.


Cookies with Paddington Bear!

Paddington looks especially excited about cookies. I especially like the little purple alien dress.
I've always wondered about Twinkies since watching Zombieland. Donettes sound quite exciting!

If I take off my eyeglasses, the cookies kind of blur together and look like a big pizza!

You've never experienced Twinkies?!?  

Ah, Donettes! For a number of years Donettes were a primary food group for me. I worked at a job that only allowed 30 minutes for lunch. At lunchtime I would scurry to the nearest grocery market, grab a packet of Donettes (usually the powdered sugar variety) and a small carton of chocolate milk (back in the days when you could get chocolate milk made with real whole milk), and snarfing down that carbs + sugar infusion would keep me going the remainder of the work day.

Another Zombieland connection: for a number of years a Real Deal Brazil Canvas Tarp Hat was my "go-to" hat for outdoor adventure. I was wearing that hat before it was popularized by appearing in the Zombieland franchise.

I don’t know if we have Donettes here… But then I don’t eat much of that stuff anyway so I might not ever have noticed. Is there cream inside them?

I had to look up the hat. It’s a fun idea… Although, aside from being white, mine is just about that battered anyway.  

No cream. Just a small delicious donut covered in chocolate, powdered sugar, or coconut.

So basically a Timbit on steroids?

*googling timbit*
No, they have holes like donuts. I'll post a photo when I eat some for lunch!!

Dals with donettes!

Oh now I have two snacks to be jealous of- donettes and tidbits.

How cute is this robot charm made from electronic parts?

Oh, that must be so tiny! What a clever and fun use for reclaimed materials!
