Hi everyone,
Just a quick post today.
I took these photos a while ago when I was on one of my walks and just wanted to share. :)
These are Lalaloopsy mini dolls that were pretty popular around the time I started collecting (2014-2015) and although we only have a few, they are adorable!
We still have a tiny collection of them and eventually I'll do a little group shot.
This one in particular is one that my daughter had picked out and there's nothing too special about her in terms of theming (candy gum-drop themed), but she really seems to take a on a little personality in these photos.
That's something I love about doll photography; certain dolls that wouldn't normally stand out, can sometimes get "new life" when photographed.
Her name is Sugar Fruit Drops.
Originally retailed for somewhere between $5-7 dollars, I can't quite recall!
They usually came with a little pet and accessory.
Here is a promo shot from Amazon.
(I don't know how to make this photo smaller, lol)
I think these little dolls (only a few inches tall) are cute and fun to photograph. Many would argue there is a creepiness factor due to their eyes, but the black "soul-less" button eyes work for me! :)
Do you guys collect any mini dolls that are less than 6 inches, or did you ever collect these?
Mini dolls are my favorite to photograph as they are easy to conceal and then whip out when no one is looking and take a photo! :)
As always, thank you for reading and happy collecting to you all!
xoxo

It's so weird...Lalaloopsy dolls were everywhere, and then suddenly they were gone. Shame, 'cause they were cute. These pictures are great; I never thought to take my minis outside!
ReplyDeleteYes, they really did just disappear, didn't they?? Along with Toys'R'Us, I guess :(. You should definitely bring one along with you one day and take photos of her in random places, lol. Good times :)
DeleteThis photos are so cute! I don't think she looks creepy, she looks adorable. Back in the day, I wanted to get a few of Lalaloopsies to be "dolls for my dolls" but here they were incredibly expensive, so I passed. I didn't have much money when I started collecting, so I prefer to expend it on Monster High dolls. I currently don't collect mini dolls or figures like Shopkins, but I would do so if I had unlimited budget and space.
ReplyDeleteI'm always sorry to hear when a doll is more expensive outside of the US, I always think that is so unfair. A doll I discovered recently, that I think is from Spain is the Nancy Famosa doll. I've seen some really cute photos of them on Instagram (the older vintage ones.). They seem to be pretty rare/expensive here though. I agree with you on trying to focus more on a few different doll lines for budget reasons. I think beginning, I almost exclusively bought Monster High as well!
DeleteShe is adorable. We have quite a few Strawberry Shortcake and friends tiny mini dolls ,Madame Alexander minis one Lori and a few others.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn and Marion
That sounds like a great collection! I love the Strawberry Shortcake and Lori dolls as well. :)
DeleteHi, Farrah! I collected the mini LaLaLoopsy dolls--I have nearly all of the minis, several cases and structures! When I first saw them, I thought there were only 8, and that was an attainable number. LOL! Silly me--80-some dolls later....
ReplyDeleteI love your pics!
Hi Beth,
DeleteLOL, only 8! I agree, though, these little minis have such a "collectible factor" that makes them so hard to resist! I've been keeping my eyes open at our flea market (which finally just opened last week) to see if I can stumble across any more! :) Thank you for the nice compliment! :)
What a sweetie little doll. I think she is adorable. I love how you have photographed her. I am always looking for tips on how to pose dolls as that is not a strength of mine but I am working on it.
ReplyDeleteHi Dorothy,
DeleteThank you for your sweet comment! I agree, I am also trying to figure out better posing options for my dolls too, especially articulated 12 inch dolls. I find American Girl sized dolls very difficult to pose for some reason and I am often amazed at some of the American Girl photography that I see on Instagram!
Cute post Farrah. I've had the big LaLaLoopsy doll and a tiny one, but sold both on. The only other really tiny dolls I have are my Fairyland Real Pukis who are just 9.7cm/3.82" tall, oh I do have an Amelia Thimble...she's really tiny too! :)
ReplyDeleteBig hugs,

Thanks, X! THose Fairyland Real Pukis dolls are so adorable. I can imagine I would have a lot of fun with one of those. So much personality in those little faces! I had to look up what an Amelia Thimble doll looked like and they are very cute, too! So tempting. :)
DeleteThese are really cute photos Farrah, she's a little 'sweetie' literally! I have a couple of these tiny LalaLoospsy dolls somewhere, but I don't think I've ever photographed them as I just used them as 'dolls for my dolls', but your little one has photographed so well I might have to take some photos of mine too!

Thank you, Sharon! I know, it's funny how some little toys or dolls seem to come to life when you pose them and take photos of them. :) xx
DeleteHello! She is cute and I have one mini Lalaloopsy too. These were hard to find here in ordinary toy stores and ordering from the internet would have been rather expensive. So I was happy to find one in a grocery store. Took her with me! They are in such a great size that you can have them along all the time and just take photos when it suits you! :) Have some tiny dolls in my collection, but have not come to the point in photographing them yet!
ReplyDeleteHi again,
DeleteThat's great that you were able to find one in a grocery store! I love this size as they are so easy to bring along where ever you go. :)
Fabulous blog
