My second favorite after Maya Watermelon. (I'm still mad she didn't get a big doll.)
Two more coming whenever Amazon decides to ship!

Will trade for Read, Care and Scare.
I can't remember if I opened any of the bags to confirm correct toy, but all pieces will be included.

Photos of mine to show the three available in the picture.
Fly-a-lotl
Nap-a-lotl
Snack-a-lotl is on the left. He does not come with that hat, but I don't have another pic of him. So he comes with the donut and lollipop.
Any interest or questions, please let me know!
I mostly stopped buying RRFF after the first Sage debacle and then the massive disappointment that was her 2.0 version. However, when I saw Harlow, she was a must have. And thankfully, an open preorder.
I don't plan on buying much more from this company. I feel like I have enough and she's the only piece they've made since the original Sage that I've even remotely wanted.
Harlow wears a mustard-colored bodysuit under burgundy bloomery overalls. Then she's got...I don't even know what to call it. It's basically a dress with thin straps that goes over everything else, but it's too open in the front to be worn as an actual dress. Overdress, I guess? It's lovely, as it has a lot of neat embroidered details. Her socks match her bodysuit and her shoes are like all-black converse. A bit of a pain to get on, but I managed eventually. Then she has her black hat, brown leathery bag, and a wooden beaded necklace with a lavender tassel.
Her style is kind of all over the place, but to me, she's very comfortable autumn.
She has gorgeous brown eyes and darker lips than they typically do.
Her wig is a navy blue bob.
She's one of my top three favorites, along with Elinda and Fernanda.

Five Below has some of the new Rainbow Brite figures in stock! Moonglow is the only common release who isn't there. Buddy Blue is shown but he's a rare, so maybe he'll pop up eventually, maybe not. Canary Yellow is not shown.
Shy Violet is now out of stock. Patty and Lala are low stock. Who knows how long they'll last, but hopefully, they keep restocking.
It's been eternity since I did a ranking. I always planned to do one for the entirely of Hairdorables, but that never happened. Pixlings though are a small line and so it's pretty easy.
From least fave to fave.
You'd think I would like Flitta better, but there's something about her. Maybe it's because a similar color scheme was used on another two dolls and I like those better. Maybe it's because she seems a little over the top compared to others. Maybe it's the weird hair.
While I like seeing her ears, I'm just not a big fan of this version of Deerlee.
Original Marena is extremely cute, but I feel like she's lacking something. Maybe it's the plain hairstyle or the round forehead jewel. I'm not sure.
I really thought I'd like Pheona better than I do, but here she is. I absolutely love her face and whatever those things on her head are. Love that she's wearing pants, but they're the most boring pants ever. She'd be much higher if they stopped doing this same color scheme and had the guts to make her red instead of pink.
This version of Unia is very endearing because of how she looks up at you super cutely with her hair pulled back so you can really see her adorable ears. The giant ears are totally my favorite part of this line.
Faye is elevated a lot by the use of green in her design. It's not a lot, but it's enough. She also has a very cute face.
New Faye is superior to old Faye.
Now it's getting tough. I adore Wynter and how bright white she is. She's also got my favorite shade of pink hair, that milky lighter pink.
Bearlinda nudged her way ahead of Wynter only because of her face. There is something about her face that I am absolutely in love with.
New Marena is quite an upgrade on the original and that big smile shows that she knows it.
I love the brown elements on Deerlee (except for the weird fur on the skirt), but her Asian touches are my favorite things. She has a great paint job and a hairstyle that really complements it.
Amber is stunning. I wish they'd do more green ones. I love her face and hairstyle.
Catlyn just squeaked it out over Amber. Barely. She has the superior outfit and boots, plus her face is superb. The shooting star whiskers are genius, and I love her nose and the shape of her mouth.
Firensa beat out Catlyn by a hair. I had to stare at them both here on my coffee table to decide.
Unia's name was originally Celeste and I hated the name Unia when I first heard the change. So this girl is Celeste. The new one with the braids is Unia. She was my first favorite and remains very high on the list. Her face deco is brilliant and I'm a sucker for that crimped hair.
So these top two are a tie. I can't possibly choose between them. Nebula is more my style and I adore her sweet face. Also love dragonflies.
And then Angelica is not my usual taste, but she uses one of my favorite doll color schemes. The pale pinks with that beautiful, milky pale yellow combined with the rose gold-esque elements makes for perfection. She's like what if Fluttershy were a Pixling. She even has the sweet face to match.
So yeah, tie for first between Nebula and Angelica.
I caved and got the new series of Strawberry Shortcake figures on ebay. Without a Five Below anymore, I have no other way to go and last series, they were horrible at putting them up online until months after they first came out. These new ones have some favorites, so I was more impatient this time.
And honestly, work has been so hard lately that I deserve to splurge a little.
So! Blueberry Muffin is one of my favorites from the earliest SSC characters. Pretty much her, Raspberry and Lime. I'm always happy when she's included. She's adorable here as always and she smells great.
The younger characters are the ones I care about least, but I do still own my childhood Cherry. I definitely hope to see Apricot next series. She's my favorite of younger cast.
Cherry's scent really reminds me of the dolls, so that's a big plus.
So excited to see some of the international friends! They're my faves of all. I really hope they do Cafe Ole and my absolute fave, Crepe Suzette, next time.
Mint is darling, but she has a weird smell. It reminds me of lavender, which is definitely neither mint nor tulip.
Almond was who I had in mind to be my fave from this set. Adorable and smells great.
I don't care for the glitter chase figures, but when I saw hers, I had to grab her. I like the odd split coloring. It's not as obvious with Blueberry, Strawberry or Mint, who are the other chase figures.
And here is my surprise actual favorite! Don't get me wrong, I prefer Almond Tea in my overall list of SSC faves, but for this series of figures, Angel Cake is hands down the cutest one. And she smells good, too.
THE CUTEST.
She's a little tippy, but she's still perfect.
That catches me up with the SSC figures. I rewarded myself for getting through the weekend by grabbing the main six Rainbow Brite figures off Mercari. That only leaves Buddy and Canary, and honestly, I have no real hope of getting them. I'm disappointed TLS decided to make main characters so rare in a line that's already hard to find because not all of us have a Five Below. But I'm very relieved they didn't choose any of my faves to make rare!
