Meet Liu!

Many thanks to Emily of Toybox Philosopher!

My Miniature Equines

I have a collection of My Little Pony, uh, ponies too. They're mostly G1 but with a few G3 (not pictured in group) and some G4. I really enjoy rehabbing and revitalizing these old toys. Rerooting ponies is oddly meditative...

Notable ponies include two of the Pony Tales Euro exclusives (top row left)

These sideways shots are close ups of the herd. I love baby ponies!

The Unstrung Heroes

I've developed a real fondness for Paola Reina dolls recently. I think it's their cute faces and their wonderful smell! I currently have two Las Amigas and have another Las Amiga (from the collection of the esteemed Emily of Toybox Philosopher) and a Mini Amiga on the way.

This is Theodora. (She's since been dusted!)

This is Marigold. Her eyes are a little wonky but she's still super cute!

I also had a Monster High collection but that got too out of control. Now I just have my beloved Bonita Femur as seen in my intro post.

Bonita is the first MH ghoul I really connected with.

Then comes my dearly departed Blythe dolls. I had a small set of Takara Neo Blythes and now have two Petite Blythes incoming.

Pow Wow Poncho, my favorite of them all!

Finally, I have an eclectic mix of various play dolls and figurines. My biggest non-doll collection is definitely my My Little Pony group but that will be another post!

The BJD Crew

I decided I should share my most recent "crew" picture. I took it at the end of December of last year. Not too many changes (yet!).

Here's the "big picture" view of everybody.

From the left, bottom row:

Introduction

Hello there, everyone out there in blogging land! I'm Pretzel. I mostly collect BJDs and other Asian dolls but have been known to dabble in European and American produced ones too!

I hope to have a list of my dolls up soon, as well as my first few posts.

Thank you for reading. I appreciate it!
