What's Nuevo???

New junk I just got around to scanning

Excuses, excuses...

So, let's start off with a little explanation about why I haven't been updating these pages lately. This time I have a REAL excuse! In these past few months, we sought and found, bought and moved into a new house. Those who have been through the home-buying experience before will know whereof I speak, and those who haven't.....well, you'll learn soon enough. And, yes, that picture above is really truly the view from our third floor deck.

And so, just as everyone's newborn is the cleverest baby ever, and just as all people have dogs with the world's most scintillating behavioral quirks, so our New Acquisition is the best house ever, and I'm sure over the next few months, I'll be boring everybody silly with tedious tales about wallpapering the den and trips to IKEA. Meanwhile, just to prove that Pam Hasn't Lost It Completely, I have dragged out my very newest boxes, fresh from the post office, for a quick update.

Cardcaptor Sakura

Li-Kun

SCREAM! C'mon, didn't you scream too when you finally saw this doll of Li? It's totally cute too, with his little power-up suit. Have you seen the new "Cardcaptors" version on the WB? Unfortunately, they make Li out to be more of a central character, the better to attract a Pokemon-viewing demographic, I suppose. Still, I think he makes a great semi-antagonist for Sakura.

Sakura

While I was busy negotiating mortgage payments, they released a whole new batch of these little Sakura dolls and outfits over in Japan. I can't say that I recognize this one offhand, it kind of reminds me of a nurse outfit. What was Tomoyo thinking? I also have another quite cute one of Sakura with little wings, from Rudi, that is probably sitting in a box in my basement somewhere, along with my winter shoes!

Neo Licca

Clubcats

OK, who's been watching too many Austin Powers tapes? These Neo Licca dolls are a scream. (Does it occur to you I've been screaming a lot this month? Ah, well....) Check out that hair. BTW, not sure why "Clubcats" is plural, perhaps Licca has a congenital conjoined twin?

Spy Girl

Licca-chan as Emma Peel. Did you think in your entire life you would ever hear me utter that phrase?

Sailor Moon

Minis!!!

Aren't they great? These little Dream Pocket-sized dolls come with a little bitty school outfit.

Sailor Moon

Sailor Mercury

Sailor Mars

U-S-A! U-S-A!

Been to Toys R Us lately? Irwin Toys has actually pulled off a near-miracle of Moon-dom. They've brought Moon dolls back to US toy shelves, and the aforesaid dolls are actually not ugly! They've supposedly made 6 in the new line, including Tux, but these are the only 3 I've found so far.

Sailor Mars

Sailor Mercury

Sailor Venus

Little Witches Do-Re-Mi

Wand

Hobby Link Japan just got in a bunch of new DoReMi stuff. I haven't seen a single episode of the show, but I just can't resist all the minis. This is actually NOT a mini, it's a role-playing toy.

Phone

Another role-playing toy, this one a kid-sized cordless phone.

Whatever

I have no clue what this one is. Scary. Let's move on to the next.

Big-Ass Playset

SCREAM! Isn't this incredible! Don't you love minis? And if you don't, why the heck are you visiting this page? This is a big-ass playset for the liddle kiddle-style DoReMi dolls. They have lots of other little toys for the little dolls now.

Baby

SCREAM again! This is the new character. According to synopses on the net I've read, the gals this season somehow end up caring for a baby. And you know what babies mean?

Baby Carriage

That's right, babies mean accessories. Please buy me the baby carriage, mom!

Flower Cart

This little mini-playset seems to include a flower cart. I'm sure this figures somehow in the show, and I'm sure as soon as I log off, about 6 people are going to email me about exactly how. :-)

Tea Party

I'm just calling this the tea party set because I'm too lazy to try to translate the box right now. But, it's another very cute mini-playset. As soon as I get the wallpaper ripped out of my den (See? I warned you!) I'm gonna set up some of these puppies. One thing about collecting as a grownup, you're evil little sister can no longer come along and lose all the little pieces. Ha!

Well, that's it for now. Really, I have piles more stuff to paste up here, but it's all downstairs hidden behind Gus's Millennium Falcon box. In the meantime, it's time to say "Aloha" from Casa Boba!
