PRETTY LITTLE PUPS UPGRADES

It's one of those can't sleep kinda nights, so let's do some random posting. 

Today, I got a lot of five Pretty Little Pups in the mail. I have the full set, but some of mine aren't exactly perfect, so when I see them for good prices, I grab upgrades. So let's take a look at my collection in alphabetical order. 

This is Alphie. My childhood one is on the right. Those bows really did not hold up well to being constantly played with and enduring moves. For context, we moved a lot when I was a kid, and my small toys like these were basically crammed into two giant cardboard boxes. They got banged around a lot. 

The upgrade I just got is on the left. Bow intact, even the fabric tail bow. Looking good! 

BOBO! Bobo is my adulthood favorite. She was my most wanted of the handful I still needed up until I got her a few years ago. That one is on the right. She has a weird condition where her paint is very unstable. Like it rubbed off in places after I washed her with soap when I got her. (I usually give my plastic vintage toys a scrub upon arrival.) But I've never had one of these with the paint practically melting off. It's weird. So when I saw the lot I just received and saw the gorgeous Bobo on the right, I had to buy it. Yeah, fully admit that I bought them just for her, but $30 for five is a really good price, too. She's in amazing condition with both plastic and fabric bows. Love her!

Boomer on the left was the last one I got in childhood. She held up fairly well, but the upgrade has all her hair intact. 

Doxie on the right was very well-loved, as my childhood dog was a dachshund. She's still in pretty good shape though. The upgrade has all her hair and, interestingly, a slightly different shade of peach paint. 

Not in bad shape at all, but I need to find this girl with her plastic bow. 

I've probably mentioned before, as I've done several posts on this line, that Peppi was my childhood favorite. She got into a bunch of shenanigans. I loved poodles when I was a kid. 

Someday I'll find an upgrade of this girl. 

Puffy is the weird one of the line. I don't want to say she's my least fave, because I don't have one, but she kinda sticks out by being entirely pink. Most of the others have at least one natural color on them. Doxie I give a little leeway to, because her peach isn't that far off a natural red. I mean, okay, it kinda is, but it's closer to natural than pink. 

Puffy has fab hair though. I'll get an upgrade with the plastic bow someday, but I doubt I'll part with this one because those curls are awesome. 

I'm pretty sure Scotti was my first one. I loved black, even as a kid. I think Trixie and Doxie were next. 

She's due an upgrade for hair reasons, but this one is still super cute. 

I love Snowball, but I feel bad because they did not try hard enough on his eyes. 

Upgrade needed for plastic bow reasons. 

Oh, Spanky. I'm sorry about your stock name and for chopping all your hair off. She had fluffy hair like Snowball's. Someday I'll find an upgrade. 

Speckles on the left was the first I found as an adult collector. Speckles on the right I got recently, because she was an upgrade and she came with the backcard.

Oddly enough, the right one has no speckles!

And finally, Trixie. Upgrade on the left, childhood on the right. 

So I have six of them with good upgrades and six that still need them. The hunt is always on!
