Save The Date! Facets Annual BBQ - Sunday September 8, 2013
Hi all -
Summer's almost here and it's almost time for Facets by Marcia's 11th annual summer doll BBQ!I'm inviting area doll collectors (and any traveling ones) to come to my house in Matawan, NJ for a BBQ and doll party on Sunday September 8th starting at noon.
Matawan is in central NJ, near exit 117a of the Garden State Parkway. It is easily accessible by NJ Transit trains from NYC or Newark.
It will be like the previous BBQ's with lots of people, food, dolls, sales, and more, but there are a few changes, so please read on...I'll provide all of the food, and there is a cover charge of $13 per person and it must be paid in advance by PayPal (to applefrien@aol.com) or you can send me a check or give me cash if you see me beforehand. If you're going to do PayPal, I'd appreciate your waiting until a week or two before the BBQ so I have less chance of losing track of it :-) If you pay at the door, it is $15 cash - exact change required.I'll have a sales area set up in my basement - space is on a first come basis and is limited. If you are planning to bring things to sell, please let me know so I can estimate how much space is needed per person and try to get enough shelving/tables to accommodate. If you've been here before, you know the set-up. If you haven't been here before and want to sell, email me for more info. Of course, Facets will be set up for shopping, too :-)In addition to shopping, we'll have door prizes, the infamous "free table", and lots of dolls to look at.The "free table" is a table of doll related items that are extras, slightly used, unwanted, etc... It's a good way to get rid of those items that you think someone might want and you don't feel like putting on Ebay. If you have some things you'd like to put in, bring them. However, if no one takes them, you have to take them back or throw them out - they can't stay here! If you want to mail donations, LMK and I'll give you the address. I've already gotten some amazing things mailed to me!
Not exactly but close. |
Feel free to bring a doll for display. I don't have a theme - bring a favorite, a new acquisition, something you want to show off, whatever.Contributions to the door prizes are appreciated.If you need a place to stay in this area, I recommend the Woodbridge Hilton. It's about 20 minutes north of here and is more reasonably priced and nicer than the few hotels in the immediate area. If you are looking for travel mates or roommates, LMK and I'll try to help.
I hope you can make it to the party - it's a day of great fun, great dolls and great people :-) Email me to RSVP or ask questions. When you email me, I would appreciate it if you could put "BBQ" somewhere in the subject so I can sort out those emails.
MarciaP.S. If you know someone who might like to come to the BBQ and that hasn't gotten an invitation, please let me know and I'll invite them.

Uglydoll takes on Universal monsters for creepy-cute fun
Summer may just be getting started but Babo, Ice-bat, and other Uglydoll favorites are already gearing up for Halloween. Uglydoll has just announced their partnership with Universal, in hopes of unleashing a movie monster-themed series of plushes upon its fanbase. If the image we were given is any indication, it looks to be a perfect match. I particularly love Ox as the Wolfman. That hairy chest is too hilarious! Other crossovers include Ice-Bat as Dracula, Wedgehead as Frankenstein, Tray as the Bride of Frankenstein, Big Toe as the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Babo as the Mummy.
It looks like they did a fabulous job of choosing the perfect Uglydoll to match each monster. I know I'll be excited to buy these cuties when they become available this Halloween. Each plush will cost US$20.
Do you have a favorite Uglydoll from this series?

Stay out of the rain by pre-ordering Yagyu
If you're tired of all the Katsuragis coming out of Senran Kagura, first--Why? Second, take a look at CM's Corporation's upcoming Yagyu. She's certainly hard to miss, what with those dual family-sized flotation devices she's included with. It shouldn't be hard to guess that I'm not such a fan. Whereas previous Senran figures have at least tried to rein in the ridiculousness of the show's characters, CM'S Corporation is apparently relishing in stacking enough extra PVC on to sculpt an entirely second character.
It's not all bad, I admit. I really like the pose, and the soft coloring is an appealing touch especially in her hair. She even avoids my eyepatch-hatred by foregoing the usual medical look for something more standard, and that's always something I can approve of. Even so, it's hard to miss the watermelons being smuggled under her top, no doubt part of her ¥11,800 price tag. I expect a certain subset of fans will be all too eager to grab her, so be ready to pick her up in August if you count yourself amongst them.
