You can't say 'No' to Hashtag Collectibles' Grumpy Cat puppet
The delightfully disinterested feline, Tardar Sauce the Grumpy Cat, just got her first puppet. I already have high expectations for this toy, given that the company producing it, Hashtag Collectibles, was responsible for my beloved blobfish plush (reviewed). The Grumpy Cat Puppet looks absolutely darling, giving the internet star a somewhat cartoon-y look (and for some reason, I adore the look of the mouth). Now fans have the chance to make Grumpy Cat say whatever they want, maybe even some not-quite-grumpy things, should they feel so inclined. The possibilities are endless!
You can order the Grumpy Cat Puppet at Hashtag Collectibles' online store for US$35, currently marked down to US$29.99. The toy appears to be made in batches as images of happy owners have been spotted online while the site still lists it as a "pre-order," shipping within one month.

because glasses make the doll
So, as usual, I’m a little behind on some part of my life. At the moment I’m apparently behind on school communications. It turns out Birdie doesn’t have school today. I just figured this out. So though I’d love to wax poetic with you about these lovely dolls, I think instead I’m going to let […]

Integrity Toys 2014 "Gloss" Convention
I followed the events of the convention on several social media boards and on the phone with my proxy. The organizers certainly had huge obstacles to overcome but luckily for them and the attendees, the missing dolls arrived. I think this was their largest convention at 500 people. I would have loved the Friday night Halloween event. From photos, it looks like the costumes were fantastic!
In a message from the W Club we were told that due to technical difficulties, photos of the convention dolls can't be posted yet. Whatever.
There are many people posting pictures of their own dolls but the official photos would be nice to have as in past years. You can find them on eBay. Do a search under "Gloss Convention/dolls & bears" and you will come up with several hundred postings.
That being said, I had to decide to keep only a few dolls so I've been selling the ones that can't stay. Here is what remains.
Sheer Sensuality Vanessa (Magenta) (Centerpiece) $300.
Poppy Dark Moon (Purple) (Convention collection) $225.
Grandiose Natalia Fatale (Convention collection) $225. (Nude $175) (Outfit $75)
Veronique Nocturnal Glow (Convention collection) $200. (Nude $150) (Outfit $65)
Simonetta Bertorelli La Ville Lumiere (Convention collection) $200.
Victoire “Dial V for Victoire” Mini Gift Set (Store exclusive) $200.
Both for $350.
Jolt (ITBE Store exclusive) Blonde in pink dress. $115.
Chrome Noir Erin (NuFace) (Luncheon Gift Doll) $225.
Evening Siren Ayumi (NuFace) $250. (Nude $175.)
Time Served Color Infusion Homme Male Doll (Workshop) $200
Kyori “Nightshade” (Convention collection) Outfit Only $75
A huge shipment from my proxy is due to arrive tomorrow. I got the notice from UPS this morning. The convention collection, coming from Integrity, will take a few days longer.
Prices do not include postage.
Email me if you have an interest. I do have some pictures.
The dolls I am keeping:
-Intrigue Elise - Saturday night centerpiece.
-LE Smoking Adele (Convention Collection)
-After Hours Hanne (She was an optional purchase.)
I'm undecided about Cold Shoulder Eugenia and Adorned Vanessa (Convention collection.) They are gorgeous but I'm holding off deciding until I have them in my hands.
I think I'm done with Vanessa.
I had to ask myself what dolls I would have been willing to pay secondary market prices for and then decide whether or not it was worth it to have a proxy. It's a lot of work and time to sell the dolls I don't want to keep. I bought three of last year's convention dolls individually (Both Elise and one Monogram) as I did not have a proxy. This year, I got a bit caught up in the extras offered and bought dolls that are beautiful but not for me.
Such problems.
These CI male dolls are interesting. The frenzy for them is unbelievable.
Here's a picture of one I found on eBay.
They're all very different and many are other than Caucasian. They sell out quickly at the event. This is the workshop one.
