I finally got Toralei!

[milleniumgypsy]

So as many of you know, I have been wanting a Toralei for ages! Of course, I never found her signature doll, and I never found her Catastrophe version either. I was very excited to hear about her recent Coffin Bean release, and hoped that would finally be when I'd be able to snag her. Tonight Scottie and I stopped by the store to pick up onions... and I wanted to look at the dolls while I was out. THERE WERE SO MANY NEW DOLLS OMG. I saw a whole bunch of the Frights Camera Action dolls, and the new Coffin Bean dolls, and the Ghoul Spirit (I think?) dolls... it was crazy!

My reaction
There were three dolls there that have been on my wishlist since SDCC (or longer, in the case of Toralei). The other two were Honey Swamp and Viperine. Viperine is totally beautiful in person! I had been so excited about Honey but... in person I didn't love her as much as I thought I would. Which is probably good, because I couldn't really afford to pick up Viperine and Toralei today as it was. I've spent my doll budget for the next couple of months, but both of these characters are ones I've really been wanting and I would kick myself so much if I didn't get them and then for some reason didn't see them again (this has happened :P).

Anyway, I did a little photoshoot with my lovely new Toralei!


She also comes with a drink:



Rawr!

Toralei meets up with my other ghouls...

Toralei: Rawr!
Catrine: Eep!


Toralei: Time to pounce!


Rochelle: What are you doing with my ghoulfriend?


Toralei: I'm not doing anything...


Rochelle: I'm here for you darling!


Toralei: Sentiment

I did some sculpting on Pony!Loki armour, but not as much as I meant to because I accidently had a nap this afternoon. n_n' Hopefully I can get further with that tomorrow and post pictures! :3 Also, upcoming photoshoot of the super pretty Viperine. :3

Now it's time for bed though!

Congrats, I'm so glad you found her!!! Oh my goodness, that one is really cute. I haven't seen any of the Coffin Bean girls yet. Did they have Frankie and if so, was she cute? (I'm not interested in Abbey since she looks like almost all the other Abbeys released recently.)

We're totally opposites about Honey. I was 'meh-to-good' on her before I saw her in person but loved her once I actually saw her (same goes for Jane). But Viperine is stunning!

Thank you! I was so excited. :D I was especially excited about the Coffin Bean version because even though I love her signature, I love the longer hair and she doesn't have gloved hands!
I really liked the Abbey actually, but Scottie and I both commented on the Frankie being especially nice! I loved her hair and faceup. :D

I was so excited about Honey, I was so bummed that I didn't actually like her as much when I saw her. But that's why it's important to see the dolls in person before you get them! I think there's something about the face sculpt that I didn't love.
Oh I didn't even get to post about Jane, I saw her too! I had been meh-to-good on her before, but I thought she was so cute when I actually saw her! Still going to hold off on getting her for now but I was pleasantly surprised. :D I certainly hadn't expected liking her more than Honey!
But I was glad that I loved Viperine as much as I did. I love snakes and so I wanted a little gorgon girl. :3
