Day 31 - "31 Days of Halloween"

Wishing you all a Fun and Safe Celebration!!!

Corpse Bride

"When...  Oh when will I ever find someone to share the after life with?"

The Corpse Bride takes front center for Day 30 of our "31 Days of Halloween" project.  She is actually the only Vinyl Doll/Toy I have from the movie...  Am still hoping one day I will come across the other  two, Victor and a Victoria.

Haunting Starlight Yoshiki

Day 29 - "31 Days of Halloween"

 

This OOAK Starlight Yoshiki is a gift from a Bay Area friend, talented designer and fellow toy lover, Gary Fritts....  The doll is originally a Starlight Yoshiki doll... rerooted, face made up, and tailor made costume for one AWESOME Creation. 

Starlight Yoshiki is the front man for Popular Japanese band "X"...  Takara produced 3 versions of this doll in replica of his original clothing.   The dolls were produced in Limited Quantity and were released in 1992.   Not really part of the Jenny Doll line but he has been relegated by collectors as a Jenny friend anyway.

"Three by Gary Fritts"

These Takara bois I have had for many years now... All dressed in OOAK costumes made by my friend, Gary Fritts, back in the Bay Area days... Raph and Jeff are actually wearing replicas of Halloween costumes I have worn in the past.. Also made by Mr Fritts!  Sadly, nowadays they only get to come out during Halloween.

That floral skull hair ornament totally won me over - just perfect for her to join the Bearbrick Muertos in my Halloween display!

Ellisabat On The Town!

Monster High Gal, Ellisabat,  got to tag along with Juju and I Trick  or Treating last Sun...

Pumpkin Tofu

This little guy I have had for many years now...  

Am not really a Tofu vinyl collector - I think I only have about 6 in my collection

 - but now and again, I come across one I really like...  Like Him!!!

Good enough for a spotlight on the 12th Day of the "31 Days of Halloween" project.

Taipei Toy Festival 2014

Yesterday was a fun filled day attending the Annual Taipei toy Festival....  Not as big as the last few ones I have attended but just as wonderful and jam packed with so much Vinyl Goodies!!!  So crowded it was that it was mind boggling how to, not just navigate to where your faves are - but also quite hard to get close to see the goods once you have managed to find the booths of your choice.

Still, manage we did.....   and a Fun Time was had by all...  as always!!!

=====================

Some of the offerings on display that caght my attention!!!

====================

Another FAVE and MUST TAKE HOME each and every visit to the Taipei Toy Festival: Fluffy House's denizens....  Their Diorama Displays for this year are quite cute....  Will make you feel the need to have your very own... Sorry Not For Sale!  Though the clothing are quite cute, too - had to Pass as they were a bit on the pricey side!!!

=======================

Just Us (Cecilia, Juliana, Sue and I) loving the STYA REAL display!!!
