Links to WishBooks Past

When we were younger, my sisters and I used to peruse the Sears Wish Book and Spiegel's Christmas catalogs every fall.  We would check off the dolls that we wanted and imagine how we would play with them. If you have similar memories of sitting or want to investigate vintage dolls, click this a link to online catalogs.


Happy viewing! Link courtesy of Maynard G from the Power-Team Yahoo Group.

Beastie Boys, Childhood Cancer and $750.00

Beastie Boys fan, anyone? And is childhood cancer a cause you would contribute to? If you answered yes to both questions, then you can have playscale Beastie Boys action figures for $750.00 USD. You can find additional information and photos of the action figures at the official store. There also is a video link showing a cute but VIOLENT video where several G.I. Joe action figures are "killed" by gunshots and fire.

Pajama Bria at Dollar General

She's cute ... well, all of the Moxie Girls are cute. They are like the anti-Bratz. Sure, they all have the same face - as far as I can tell - like the Bratz do. But the Moxie Girlz do fall straight into the "cute" category. Big eyes, little nose, and small mouth. Oh and big hair. And BIG head. Sigh. It's the big head that helps me NOT buy them.

I had not realized that there were any Black Moxie Girlz included in the Pajama Moxie Girlz sold at Dollar General stores. I had just seen the other girls: Avery, Lexa, and Sophina. No Bria for this wave, or so I thought.

So, check different neighborhoods for your Moxie Girlz Bria. Good luck finding here!

Hot Australian Pop Star in Playscale - TRU Exclusive

He's the thirteenth on the Billboard 21 Under 21 list for 2011, but this Australian pop singer is far from unlucky. Cody Simpson, from Gold Coast, Queensland, is now available as a TRU Exclusive. He's from a new toy company, The Wish Factory. 


You can find a YouTube video on young Mr. Simpson here. Please note: his height is down as 11.5" so he will be shorter than Kens but taller than the High School Musical boys who are 11" tall. Still, he's a new play scale male ... available from Toys R Us stores or at toysrus.com .

Vivid Imaginations and One Direction - More British Boys

How many of you want more male teenagers in your collection? Possibly Niel? Vanessa? Anyway, we have the JLS guys overseas representing male teenagers. And through the bounty of Vivid Imaginations we have MORE, yes MORE male teens. Who this time? Another boy band created from the British tv show, X-Factor ... One Direction.

Still not enough? Well, hold on until January 2012 for another British-Irish boy band, this time, The Wanted.
