Finding Doll Props: Blind Bags for Christmas

This post may contain affiliate links, please check out my disclosures page for more info.  Thanks!

This post is a bit late, it’s from Christmas when all the dolls received their presents.  All blind bags, because they are perfect for dolls as mentioned in this post.

Ah, Christmas day has come at last.  A time for happiness and cheer.  A time of goodwill to all.  And ultimately…

Time to open Christmas presents!

Time to open my presents!  I wonder what they could be?

"Why is the head staring at me?"

And I wonder why the head is staring at me?

Because he can’t really open presents or anything without a body.  So he gets to enjoy the holidays by eating donuts and watching everyone open their gifts.  He’s having fun, so let him be.

I suppose it is all right, but how can he watch without eyes?

But, let’s not dwell on that when there are more important things to do, like open presents.

Blind bags for dolls.

Inside my box are two blind bags.  One from My Little Pony, a favorite around here (see Finding Doll Props: Surprising Blind Bags), and the other is for Care Bears.

Let’s start with the pony bag shall we?

My Little Pony blind bag figure, Breezie Flora

I received this lovely white Pegasus named Breezie Flora.  The details are well done on this one and the color choice is quite tasteful.

This figure will display nicely with my other collectibles.

Care Bears blind bag figure, Champ Bear

Now this is what I found in the Care Bears bag.  An odd blue bear named Champ Bear.  He bears the image of a trophy on his stomach.  I will say that the painting is well done.

I must admit that I am not familiar with this line.  And I find them peculiar to look at to say the least. 

However, they are based on characters from Anna’s childhood and the quality is good.  So I suppose I shall keep it for the sake of novelty.

Now what did Usagi receive for Christmas?

The same two blind bags as myself, so let’s open them.

Care Bears blind bag figure, Sweet Dreams bear.

In her Care Bears pack, she found this purple bear named Sweet Dreams Bear.  She has a moon and heart design on her stomach and the painting is of the same fine quality as my own bear.

And although they aren’t very appealing to myself, Usagi seems to be quite taken with her new bear.

“It is so cute!! :)”

My Little Pony blind bag figure, Cinnamon Breeze.

And in her My Little Pony bag was this charming pink unicorn named Cinnamon Breeze.  Naturally Usagi adores it as well.

“We have more ponies to play with now.  Let’s play together later, okay? :)“

Time for the children to open their gifts.

Dolls and blind bag toys. Trolls!

First for Yuna is a Trolls blind bag.

For some reason she has grown quite fond of this line.  Luckily for her, they came out with series 2.  Hopefully the quality has improved from series 1.

And here is Yuna’s new troll figure.  It is strange to look at, but the color choice is at least more appealing than her last troll figure.  The hair seems softer as well, which is the main appeal for Yuna.

Yuna does so love it.  That is what matters most.

Dolls and blind bag toys. Thomas!

Sakura’s first present is a Thomas the Tank Engine mini blind bag

She has somehow recently became interested in locomotive trains, so this pack is very fitting.

And this is what she found inside the bag.

The name of this train engine is Orca Gator.  I do find it odd to decorate a train with marine mammals.  Still, Sakura seems pleased with it.

“Look Mr. Head, isn’t is so cool?  Want to play with it? Want to play with me?  Can I wear your hat?”

Dolls and blind bag toys. My Mini Mixe Qs

In addition to the first bags, both Sakura and Yuna received My Mini Mixie Qs blind boxes

They are a favorite of Sakura’s and she was sure Yuna would enjoy these tiny doll figures as well.

My Mini Mixie Qs figures, cute!

Sakura received this pair consisting of Donut Lover from the Sweet collection and Checkerboard from the Sassy collection.

For Yuna, there is Gamer Girl from the Smart collection and Roller Derby from the Zany collection. 

The names of the Mixie Qs are creative to say the least.  I just hope it doesn’t give Anna any ideas.

The children still delight in them.  They can quietly play with them together.

Overall, the day has been pleasantly spent.  There is just one small problem.

The Christmas morning mess.

Who is going to clean up this mess?

Be at peace my dear readers.

Pleasant comments are always welcome and appreciated.

But please, no anti-doll comments. They are unnecessary and a bit rude. We understand that some people find dolls creepy or weird, but this is a "doll blog" that is intended for those who enjoy dolls. If you dislike dolls that much, don't waste your time reading doll blogs.
