I've been watching a few YouTube videos lately, pretty much all doll related, and the other day I saw that a particular doll line had some fun clothes, and they were being sold ever so cheaply on Amazon. Well when I saw the possibles of the clothing fitting some of my dolls, I thought why not give it a go - it was cheaper to buy these dolls with clothes on than by a pack of clothes or even make them which is what I normally do!
Two packages arrived
Out of the package, one had tissue paper wrapped round it, one didn't.
Flash boxes! Front and back. I have no idea who these people are. I am guessing some kind of boy band. I actually have no real interest in finding out I have to confess, I just liked the clothes!
The dolls in their boxes.
Not sure what the poses are supposed to mean!
They both came with a stand. Easy to take out of their boxes, the most difficult thing was their head as it was attached with plastic which was stuck in their head. Why do they do this?
Out of the box.
The waist coat is what I was most interested in.
These trousers!
The shirt is nice too. Oh and the bracelet has been nabbed by Helen Blythe.
Ooh ahh...
Their hair is pretty gross, all lacquered up.
I washed the hair with soapy water and it looks better now. (But forgot to take after photos as I am not really interested in the dolls at all. They are a bit too girly looking to be boy dolls I would want to keep).
But this waist coat! So beautiful and well made, lined with press studs to close it.
The jacket a bit rumpled up, but again well made and lined.
Attention to detail with pockets
and little buttons.
The other jacket, also lined. I will probably put some press studs on this, and maybe change the 'buttons' to the other side if they are removable.
Back of jacket.
I tried the waistcoat on Helen first and it fits nicely.
The trousers were too long though of course.
Kiwi Sindy tried it on next.
Lots of flowery stuff going on here.
She tried the shirt on and the trousers and they are a good fit. The shirt sleeves a tad too long, but okay.
The waistcoat doesn't close on Kiwi Sindy.
I will have to try on a barbie next to check the fit with her.
I haven't tried the black trousers on another doll yet, but will do. They will obviously fit Sindy, and I am guessing they will fit Barbie too.
Now who will the shoes fit?
Mini Kit suggested that Jake try them on.
He agreed the silver shoes were good, but he drew the line at trying the pink ones on!
Perhaps I will be able to paint them black or something?
I am guessing they would also fit Ken and perhaps Action Man dolls.
So for a mere £5 each, I got some fabulous outfits! The dolls, well, not sure what I will do with them, probably donate them to a charity shop at some stage.

For a £5 doll, I couldn't hardly believe how well they were packaged and the quality of the clothes!
Thank you to Jay of Jay Dolls UK on You Tube for featuring this doll line that I would never have known about. Like you, they were bought for the clothes rather than the dolls! But at that price, well who could pass them up?!
What a fun idea. I suspect someone would have fun playing with the dolls if you donate them.
ReplyDeleteYes hopefully someone else will get to enjoy the dolls. They would be fun for someone I am sure.
DeleteThey have since more than doubled in price, so I got a very good deal!
That's an incredible price for those BTS dolls. I would have bought them too! They are from the second wave of dolls; the clothes for the first wave of dolls weren't nearly as nice.
ReplyDeleteIt was an incredible price. If you know what to look for (and I usually don't!) it seems you can find some real bargains. I never would have thought to look if I hadn't seen the Youtube video as had never heard of the dolls before.
