Lockdown twins

 As promised, here are the photos of Jordyn and Keira together.

Side by side.

Two Cloes.

My sweet set.

Keira

Here is my next Angel, Keira, twin to Jordyn. They are from the same seller and arrived together, and are both Original Cloes. 

My favourite hairstyle, I think - it seems to be fairly unusual so I'm always pleased to see it.

I like the combination of the yellow and green checked outfit with the hair accessories.

So sweet. 

I love these little guys - very cheeky kangaroo and that raccoon looks full of attitude too.

Lovely set, and no flaws between them.

Keira and her pals. 

Keira has turned out to be so different to Jordyn, and although I have a lot of Original Cloes, I am still delighted to have her. I was going to add the photos of the two of them together to this post, but as it's already quite long, I will do a separate post.

Jordyn

As promised, here is my next 2020 Angel, Jordyn. She's an Originals Cloe, and is one of the Angelz that I've seen listed on eBay a few times, but never quite managed to get before now. There is an imperfection - not in Jordyn herself, but in one of the pets, which I'll detail below.

So cute, in her crawling position. 

Nice colour combination on the outfit. 

You can see the defect in this picture - the little bear's neck is snapped and so the head doesn't stay on. The bear wasn't originally included in the listing, so I didn't know what the damage would be, but the seller said to ask if I wanted the broken pet included - of course, I did. 

 

The seller had included a piece of Blu-Tack holding the head on - I removed this, but ended up replacing it with my own Blu-Tack as I could not see a better way to repair it. Really it needs a new piece of plastic, but I don't think I have the skills to make or fit one. 

 This bunny is exactly as it's meant to be, no flaws. 

My sweet set, perfectly coordinated (white, purple and blue). 

While I'm always a little disappointed to receive a defective Angel or pet (particularly a pet as cute as this one!), it's part of collecting dolls that are over 10 years old, and makes my collection unique. Jordyn is a very welcome addition to my collection and I can't wait to share her twin (Keira).

Trio

This post is just to share some photos of my bundle of three. They're a well matched bundle as Ava and Emma have the same outfit design, Ava and Dana are in the same position, and Emma and Dana have the same hairstyle.

 

Early picture of them drying off after cleaning - I left the clothes out of the photo by mistake. 

 

This is later on - I think the clothes were still a bit wet. 

Same character - and same outfit design, although contrasting colours. 

 

Same position: I thought this was a rare one, but I seem to be getting quite a few in this position now, starting with Lucy slightly more than a year ago. 

This is a very common hairstyle - but the highlights very considerably, from hard to see like on Emma, and really bright on Dana. 

 

3 sweet girls. 

6 rainbow coloured pets. 

Everyone together. 

I'm so glad to have this bundle. I can't wait to show the rest of the bundles now in my collection - they all seemed to come at once in late 2020.

Dana

 The last Angel in this bundle is Dana, and predictably, she's a Dana. This is exciting for me as I think she's only my third Dana, and it's a very striking character. 

So cute. I absolutely love her ash coloured hair combined with her purple eyes. I called my first Dana Asha, and I think that name suits the Dana character perfectly. 

 

Close up of her sweet face. 

Very bright pets - the crown is almost golden on the frog! 

Perfect trio.

Dana is my favourite of this bundle, and one of my favourites of 2020. I'll post a summary post of this bundle next week, and then it will be on to the next bundles!

Emma

The next Angel is this bundle is Emma, another Yasmin. She's pretty similar to Mackenzie (same hairstyle/ribbon).

She's such a cute Yasmin with her pale blue/white combo, and very faint highlights.

 

I'm not sure if I have any others with this body positions - I can move her arms up and down a bit. 

Sweet pets - I really love the colour combination on the fox. 

Here they are all together.

I'm so pleased to have another Originals Yasmin ticked off. My next post will be on the last Angel in this bundle (and I'll do a summary post too).

Ava

Wow, it's been such a long time since I posted! I received 3 new bundles last year, and I've just ordered my first Angel of 2021. I'll post about each of them in turn - they will be short posts with a few photos so I can get through them all.

I'll start with the first bundle I received. It's a bundle of 3 Originals, to be precise. I can't wait to show pictures of them all, but I'll start with the first member, Ava. She's a Yasmin, and one that I've seen a lot of on eBay, but never managed to get until this bundle.

Such a sweet two colour outfit! 

 

She matches with the squirrel!

The completely black dog is nice - I don't think I have any other pets this colour.

I'm so pleased to have more Angelz - I'll post about the rest of the bundle soon. 

Stephanie

My newest Angel, Stephanie, is another one I've had my eye on for a while, as I kept seeing her listed, but held back due to the lack of pets. Then, I saw the pets listed as part of a bundle some time ago. I couldn't find the doll anywhere at that time, so didn't buy the pets immediately, and instead "watched" them. Then, something happened which has never happened to me before: the seller made me an offer. I could buy the bundle for £1.50! Although it was only Stephanie's two pets that I needed for my collection, I knew I couldn't resist this bargain. So I went ahead and bought it, knowing that I would have to wait for the doll. I wasn't worried as I'd seen her so many times before. Sure enough, a few weeks later I did see her and made a "best offer", so she became mine! Another Originals Yasmin ticked off my list.

 

Here she is! You can see from this picture that her highlights have faded a bit, but I don't mind. 

 

I do like the detail in her adorable blue and pink checked outfit, and unlike a lot of Angelz outfits, it actually fits! 

 

I think this is her default position (her in packaging one!), which I get as it shows off her outfit, but I tend to put her forward facing more, even though she can't actually lie flat.

 

Here they are, the extremely cheap pets! I really like the dog's red scarf; it's very Christmassy!

Sweet little family. 

Here they are looking just about the same way. 

Morgan and Stephanie, two Yasmins. 

 

Here they are with the pets - you can see how Morgan and her octopus are so shiny compared with Stephanie and her pets (and the walrus!). 

I'm so glad to introduce my little chequered-outfit girl. Since her, I've added a number of Originals to my collection, and I will soon start the lengthy task of posting about each of them.

Morgan

My next Angel is a very exciting one, as she's the last one in another series!  I actually bought the two pets quite a while ago, and was just waiting for the doll, and, as seems to be fairly common now, I narrowly missed out on her twice, and then was lucky to get her as part of a bundle on my third try. Typically, a couple of days later, she appeared again for about £5 cheaper! However, I'm so glad to have her that it doesn't really bother me. 

Here is Morgan, my Mermaidz Yasmin: 

 

So shiny and glittery! Plus I love her purple theme, particularly the starfish in her hair.

These are the pets that I bought from a different seller. I ended up with 2 walruses as the seller was selling them together, although I will only ever need one! These are interesting pets as I think I only have one other walrus (Tara's) and no other octopi. 

My little underwater group. I really like how all the Mermaidz have themed pets. And this particular set is very well colour co-ordinated! 

 

Here she is in a slightly different position! Like all Mermaidz, her arms move up and down a bit, and her head spins around, but other than that, she can't move. 

The Mermaidz are one of my favourite sets due to their unique body mould. I must dust off my old ones at some point to show all 6 of them on this blog (4 from my old collection!), along with all the other complete sets I now have.

Yasmin

Here is my next Angel, who is predictably, a Yasmin! To be specific, she's a very special Angel, as she's the very first one in the collection! 

I noticed on eBay a couple of months ago that the number of items appearing for "Bratz Lil' Angelz" had increased by a lot, about 6 or 7. At this point, I started to get excited - there had to to be some listings I hadn't seen yet. The question was, were any of them Angelz I didn't already have? So, I looked through them one by one, noticing that they were all very early originals, all of which I already had - except one! Hence, I ordered her straight away, and she is now my precious Yasmin. Here are some photos:

It's been a while since I had a brand new Angel - it's nice to have one again! I also love the "king" frog! It's maybe not clear in this picture, but he's wearing a crown.

Unlike many of the early Originals, this cartoon is very true to the real form! 

Very sweet - such a sophisticated hairstyle! And this picture shows that she is number 1. 

Getting Yasmin has been such a milestone. I'm so glad I finally have her, and I can't wait to do her unboxing, though I'm terribly behind on updating this blog. In fact, there are quite a few new additions that I still need to share on here! I can't promise anything fast, but I will get them on here when I can.
