Kitten Catfe Series 2

When Series 2 popped up on ebay from a seller in NC that I've bought from before, I scooped a bunch up, then ended up going back next paycheck for the other remaining two.

I had no idea at the time that I was buying from a toy reviewer, but apparently yes? I haven't bothered to look into it.

I'm not sure if S2 is out yet. It's not like I can go shopping!

Anyway, this is Catalina Creme.

She's got an old shoe mold (but colored well) and a new outfit mold.

Her glasses are a repeat style, but at least they're the cute one.

The back of the outfit doesn't stay together well, just like a lot of LOLs.

Her hair is awesome though.

The fabric piece she comes with can be worn like a top, which I like.

Or like a skirt, as it's shown in her art.

I like it both ways, but prefer it as a top.

Here's Cece Mew.

Her outfit definitely looks like Series 1, but her hair is a brand new mold.

I love the design of the mold and the coloring!

Cora Kitty has a brand new outfit style, as well as new hair.

She's a nice blue. I like how bright her hair looks against her blue fur.

I don't care for the fabric piece as a top with this outfit though. And obviously it's not meant to be a skirt, because she's got shorts on.

Here's the back of her hair.

Jasmint Joe has one of the best names of this entire line. It's adorable.

I like her smirking face and the color combo of purple, mint and white.

Mint highlights.

She's got a cute camera.

Mine is sadly missing her tail. It wasn't included and the seller didn't address my asking about it.

The one thing I don't like is her boot color. It doesn't match at all.

Jojo Jazz has a neat new hairstyle. I love that two of these new styles are so short.

Cute from the back, too.

Layla Latte is my second favorite from this series. There's no black cat, so the gray one of course is going to be a fave!

She has the one-piece swimsuit on, just under her skirt.

I'm not mentioning the character descriptions, as you can read them yourselves on the website and get all the details, but I will say that Layla loves museums and that makes me love her even more.

Lexi Spresso looks like she should be in Series 1. I do like the pearly pink hair though.

She's definitely cute. They all are, even the ones I don't like as much.

This is my favorite of the new hair molds. It's so cute.

This is Lola Bell.

I love Lola's kind of melony shade. It looks great with her hair and eye colors.

This lovely lady is Lulu Affogato. Another great name and I adore her fur color.

She's got the cool hair mold that Coco and Jennnipurr have, but without the color highlights. It works just fine all pink though.

Mocha Lisa. Definitely another name favorite.

I love her entire color scheme, except the purple thing.

Which is why I gave her Jojo's orange one.

I only took this one photo of her, but this is hands down my favorite of this series, possibly of the line. I LOVE her.

This is the fabulous Pawlena Purr.

Last one! This is Pursella Taylor.

I love her darker purple hair. I just wish they hadn't been so random with her other color choices.

That's all I've got for S2. I don't have any of the Meowbles, because they only were selling the dolls.

Kitten Catfe Series 1

I don't have all of Series 1, but I'm only missing 2, so I figured I'd post them before tackling Series 2.

I've already reviewed Kitten Catfe, so I'm not going to go over those aspects. I just want to show each doll and her accessories.

This is Carmela La Creme.

Carmela is the only doll to have patches. Others have paws in different colors, but only Carmela has them on her arms and legs. Or rather, one arm and one leg.

The shoe molds are all shared, as are the clothing molds. I didn't take the time to match up all the same shirts, but I did do the shoes.

Carmela's match Purrissa's.

Next we've got Coco Mocha. She's one of my main favorites that I have of S1.

The first batch of S1 was almost all white cats, so I really love the ones that aren't. Coco is a lovely shade of light brown.

She has the smirking mouth that's my favorite.

The paint detail on her hair is awesome.

And she has my favorite shoe style and bag, too!

Her shoe twin is Fifi Faye, one of the two I'm missing.

This is Ginger Glitz. A lot of the names are either coffee or kitty-related, but some of them aren't. Ginger's one of those.

Ginger and Kitty Purrcino are very similar. Down to almost the same shoes. The shades of pink are just a bit different.

Ginger is the only cat from the first batch of Series 1 that is not mostly naturally-colored. She's a light pink.

I got Jennipurr Joe today!

Jennipurr has the cutest glasses, but they don't fit right with her hair mold.

They look pretty cute on Luna!

Like Coco, Jennipurr has color highlights in her hair.

Jennipurr and Luna are shoe twins. They have sneakers with socks coming up high. I love that Jennipurr's are painted in two different colors. Very reminiscent of the old 80s trend to layer the socks in different colors.

Here's Kitty Purrcino again.

Ginger and Kitty showing off their hair highlights.

Luna Latte!

Luna (and Tabbytha) have my favorite eye style + hairstyle combination. I love the giant eyes with the tiny pigtails.

Luna and Mimi in their not as cute as Jennipurr's glasses.

Here's Mimi Meow. She was my first one.

She has little slip-on shoes. Her shoe twin is Purradonna, who I don't have. (Even though she's my favorite! Argh.)

Mimi has some cream-colored highlights on her fur.

Purrissa Lee.

Not one of my favorites, although she does have my favorite eye style.

Tabbytha Fluffikins.

Yes, really.

Her name perfectly suits her though.

She's my favorite from the first batch of S1 and one of my top favorites. I love Luna more overall, but Tabbytha has the best eye color of the series.

Different eye styles.

And finally, Veronicat Meow. I like her purple highlights, but she and Mimi are so similar.

She and Tabbytha have the same boots.

And here are all my Meowbles! I'm only missing two, so I'm betting one comes with Purradonna and one comes with Fifi.

NEWS: Monster High

Holy crap, you guys. I just learned that the upcoming collectors Monster High dolls are going to be...

PENNYWISE (from IT, of course).

And the GRADY TWINS from The Shining.

I was expecting rehashes of only the most popular, overused characters, but something new? Now that's amazing. I'm excited to see them.

REVIEW: Harry Potter Yule Ball line

I have some of the Mattel Harry Potter line, but I haven't photographed many of them. (I have the four Series 1 kids, plus Quidditch Draco.) I've been lucky with these and I've only paid full price for Ron, who was my first. So I tackled Yule Ball in the same way. I bought Harry for $8.47 and Hermione for $10.95 back in December, then waited for a good sale on Ron and Cho. I ended up with them for $11 each from a 3rd party seller on Amazon.

Today, I decided to open them.

I love the trio and they definitely deserve to be here, but I'm a bit frustrated at Cho's presence when Viktor, who was Hermione's date after all, is missing. Honestly though, I also just plain don't like Cho. She's one of the few characters in HP that I actively do not care for.

I will likely pick up Cedric next and then Harry in the Triwizard outfit and Hagrid. They haven't been on sale in a bit though, so I'm biding my time.

Each doll comes with the boring accessory of an invitation. They're all the same, so I only photographed Harry's.

Looking pretty good there, Mr. Potter.

The robe itself comes off and goes back on over the shirt sleeves easily.

And then makes it hard to photograph. I'll be doing my next review back in the kitchen or in front of some books in my library/collection room again. No more empty shelf shots. Sigh.

Oh, Ron. I love him. He's so endearing.

That reminds me though that the twins would have been perfect for this line. Not in Yule Ball outfits, but just regular clothes. I loved their Goblet look.

I wish they'd thought to do these dolls as the movies released so we'd have more characters.

Hermione is stunning, although her hair isn't very accurate. More of it should be down in loose curls.

The dress is lovely.

I love her expression.

Back of the dress.

The flower earrings are precious.

And the shoes. I can't Google a good picture of her actual shoes from the movie, but I kinda doubt they were ankle breakers like these.

These are kids, Mattel. Lower the heels a bit.

I may dislike Cho, but her doll is gorgeous.

I love that dress.

Yep, very pretty.

Another overly-gelled updo. I guess that's how they have to do it.

Her golden flower earrings are a different mold than Hermione's.

But her shoes are the same mold.

And there you have it! One quickie review for you all.

I do have Kitten Catfe Series 2 planned, so that might be up by the end of the week. I'm waiting on one more delivery to complete the set before taking photos.
