While I'm here, I thought I'd show two new additions of mine. The first are some fast food toys: the McDonald's Happy Meal Toys of the month include figures of the DC Super Hero Girls, and I've picked up two of them, Supergirl and Bumblebee.
 |
| Bumblebee and Supergirl: They're not as detailed as the standard figures, but by fast food toy standards, they're decent. |
And then just the other day my mother surprised me with a gift: the new limited run Hudson's Bay Company Barbie!
 |
| HBC Barbie. I'm not usually an in-box collector, but I love this packaging so much that I haven't been able to bring myself to unbox her yet! |

| The back of the box. |
I probably won't be back to posting regularly until November, but hopefully I'll have the opportunity to squeeze in a retro week post or two. I hope October is treating you all well! :)
Oooh, I love the Hudson Bay Barbie, but I haven't got her. Hope you're mum is feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteI hope that your mother recovers well after her surgery!
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on getting the Hudson’s Bay Company Barbie as a gift! I saw a news flash on that over here in our little country and she is beautiful!
Have a wonderful October and take care!
Thank you!
DeleteI hope your mom is doing well! What a nice surprise for you, especially since Hudson's Bay is a Canadian company, even a Canadian icon?
ReplyDeleteWhen my girls were little, we had a plastic bin full of kids' meal toys to keep the girls occupied on long trips. They're usually not bad for their size, and if we lost one, it was not a big deal. Will some of your dolls get these little superheros to play with?
It's true about HBC - and she actually bought her from The Bay as well!
DeleteAnd that's a good point about the Happy Meal figures being toys for toys - I'll have to do that! :)
That barbie looks amazing!!! I don't think they sell those kind of editions here haha so sad XD
ReplyDeleteHope you mom is feeling well and I wish her a fast recovery!
Wish you a great october too :D
Thanks! :)
DeleteI'm really glad you're okay. I had been wondering where you had gone. Sorry to hear about your mum's surgery. Hope she is doing well and on the way to recovery!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, your mum is so generous. I have been reading up about that Barbie. You're lucky to be able to have gotten her. It's a shame that edition will never be seen where I live. But I'm with you, I'm not usually the kind of collector who keeps things in their boxes but I'd do the same with this one. It just looks so nice. Big congrats!
And glad to hear from you! Take your time. We'll all still be here when you get back and are ready to post again or have time!
Thank you! :)
DeleteHello JS,
ReplyDeleteI hope your mother is feeling better. The Hudson bay Barbie is gorgeous...what fantastic clothes!
Big hug
Giac
Thanks, Giac!
DeleteNice! Not to ignore that gorgeous Hudson Bay Barbie, but for fast food premiums, Bumblebee & Supergirl are pretty good
ReplyDeleteThey really are, aren't they?
DeleteHi jSarie,
ReplyDeleteI hope your mother's recovery is uneventful.
I didn't know about the Happy Meal DC Super Hero Girls. Thanks for sharing the info.
Congrats on the Hudson Bay Barbie. It would be difficult for me to debox her, too, but I know you will eventually.

Thanks! :)
DeleteGreat to hear from you again, jS! I haven't seen the DC Superhero girls happy meal toys yet, but they look pretty cool from your photos. That new Barbie is goregous!! I don't blame you for keeping her in the box.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Farrah! :)
DeleteNice to see you posting JS, I hope your mum is on the mend now.
ReplyDeleteLove the Barbie, she looks gorgeous from what I can see in your photo, the box does look nice too, I'd be reluctant to debox her too. A very nice pressie I have to say :)
We don't have those Superhero girls here in McDonalds, at the moment I think it's Pokemon toys...but I will keep my eyes open!

Thanks, Sharon! :)
DeleteThose are some great additions, congrats!
ReplyDeleteThe Hudson's Bay Company Barbie is amazing, I just love that coat!
Thanks! It is a great coat, isn't it? :)
DeleteNice to see a post from you! Hope your mom is recovering well. Nice that you were able to stay with her to help care for her. I did get the Hudson Bay Barbie from TheBarbieCollection.com. She came last week just before we left for Chicago. I opened her yesterday and already gave her an articulated body! I am not one to keep my dolls in the boxes for very long!
ReplyDeleteOh, fun! How does the dog look out of the box? :)
