ToyMuchInformation! - A Little Ending

 It's Penny's Box time again.  Turns out, when I don't look to see what they're up to for a couple of years, they put out several new series.  This one in particular is "Spirit of the Book", which seems to be an offshoot of the "Cute Beast Magic Series".  I was tempted by the latter, but I see a hamster there in the lineup, and when there is a hamster in blind box series, I almost always get the hamster.  I wanted to avoid another hamster in the collection, so I happened to come across the Spirit of the Book dolls on Amazon.  Odd that they were on Amazon when the box clearly states "KikaGoods Exclusive" (and also "Winter Limiyed Edition" =p), but I'll take it.  I preordered something else off KikaGoods to make up for it.

Google Translate is a real jokester; it keeps referring to poor Antu as a eucalyptus plant.  For the love of god, please check out the poem and character blurb translations on the website links above.  They're actually pretty good.

ToyMuchInformation - Oh, Suite!

Now, you might be thinking to yourself (you know who you are - the one crawler bot who religiously scrapes my blog.  You never comment, but I know you're out there and you care) "Oh dear, is Setsu dead?  Did she just give up?"

Nope.  I just have a bad habit of falling off of the social internet every few years.  I've still been here, doing things.  Changed jobs again, getting back into shape, disgustingly healthy in spite of everything, and very jazzed to be having my first vacation since 2018 this coming October.

But enough about me.  We're here to talk about toys, because it's a Tuesday, so let's get to that.

ToyMuchInformation! - Festive Friends

 

Merry Christmas from Martine and Dom!

ToyMuchInformation! - Little Angels

 The doll tree still doesn't have a proper topper. It's been how many years now? The poor thing still just has a gift decoration stuck on it, lol. 

Resident holiday angels Angelique and Angelica decided to take action. This is not my original Angelique... Thinking I'd dropped her into one of the many boxes sent out west to Andy, I pinged him to check. Unfortunately, she wasn't there. Andy decided to just buy me another one off eBay because he's a hero. Luckily she's still cheap secondhand, even NIB. 

Why are you climbing? We both have wings *and* magic!

I think I prefer the subtle tinsel in Angelique's hair, but Angelica has the better dress.  Both of them could use working knees :'D

Meanwhile, the bed is crowded. I'm rehabbing a free cat that appeared on my back porch so he can have a forever home with David (he's the silver tabby on the left).  Poor man is still too skinny and for whatever reason he can't seem to digest wet food. At least he eats the crunchy stuff just fine. The dog is in the middle having the best day of her life since she got invited up to join us instead of having to rely on the hot pad under her own bed. 

You'd think it was cold in here or something.

ToyMuchInformation! - Tis the Season

 I got everything put up right on time (December 1 as always), and then things happened. The times have been interesting since last month, is all I'll say. BUT, I do mean to post once a week for this month. 

I borrowed mini!Dave for other reasons, but his being here meant he got to help Sim decorate the doll tree.

Of course he immediately started being a little dictator =p

It all got done in the end, though, and everyone survived.
