142. Lego Minifigures goes Disney.

Hey Maddie look what I found at Toys'r'us today. 
Oh cool. 
Wow thanks Catherine. 
It's the only one I could see too. 

Awesome. 

Is there more than usual?
Ooh yes there's 18. The lego packs are usually only 16. 
Ah, so do you know them all?


Let's see is that Stitch, from LILO and Stitch, um that's...

Oh that's out of Toy Story
Yeah?
He was in the arcade claw game. 
Oh yeah, okay and Buzz Lightyear. 

Daisy and Donald

Mickey and Minnie. 
I keep forgetting they're Disney. 
Me too, but they're like the foundation characters Mickey especially. They're around I guess, maybe more in America. 

Aladdin and genie. Ah, Robin Williams was like one of my favorite actors. 
Me too. I didn't quite get the movie Toys though. 

Angelina Jolie
Snort, 
What?
Maleficent

Alice and the Cheshire Cat

Um?
That's, oh, that one with the superhero family and the villain. 
Oh yeah, um 
We might need to google that. 

Peter Pan and Captain Hook 

Ursula and the little mermaid Ariel. 

So who'd you get?

Ursula, oh ahahahahahahaha. 
What's so funny?

She has a mullet, you know the fish, for a hair do. 

Looks like we'll need to keep these two apart. 

So who do you hope for next?

I'd have to say Ariel, to match her villain. Pan and Hook would be cool for Miriams pirates
And the alligator.

141. Out of the Box.

Woo woo woo woo woo woo woowooooooo
(Does anyone know how to spell the sound of a whistle?)






Ohh, hello
Sniff, sniff


Are you okay in there?
Sniff


Oh, hello, sniff. 
Can you get out?
No, it's a tight fit and I'm strapped in, and, sniff, I'm not sure I should get out. I'm not supposed to be here. 
Not supposed to be here?


You're a doll aren't you?
Yes. 
Well you're in the right room. 
I'm supposed to be in another place, I mean, like a different city. Sniff. 
Oh. 
Yes, the lady is trying to work out what needs to be done. 
Lady? Oh, you mean Catherine. Hmm, well I'm sure you can come out until then, it's no fun being stuck in a box. 
But what if my real people find out? I wouldn't be brand new anymore. 
They'll know that we looked after you whilst you were visiting. 
Oh, okay. That sounds okay and I really would like to get out. 


Hmm, it's going to be a little more tricky than I first thought. 


I'll Lean it over so the lid can slide off. 




Almost there. 


Ooh you are stuck in good. 
Were you ever in a box like this?
I think so, but I can't really remember. 
You didn't come here in a box?
If I ever had a box like this I was already out of the box when I was sent here. I came in a postage box. 
Oh, so you weren't brand new for this Ca..
Catherine, no. But she still wanted me, and gave me new things. 
Wow. 
Yes quite a few of us weren't brand new when we came here. 
How many ?
Hmm, um, Maddie and Miriam and Llew, Josefina, Antoinette, Emily and Trinity they were both charity sales so sort of new but unreturnable, ooh I think Mercedes is the same, Tzeitel, oh and Romani. 
Wow. Where I come from we're all brand new. 
Oh, where's that. 
Middleton. 
Oh wow, then you might know the others. 
Others? New ones like me?
Yes. There's Tauralie, her surname is Middleton, and there's the twins. 
Ooh Not Bitty Twins?
What?
Bitty twins, little kids with bent arms and legs. 
Oh I just thought that was a clothing brand. I've got a couple of their outfits. 
Clothes, no, well yes, but no, Middleton is full of twins. 
Ooh, well we got two sets, there's the Thomas-Middletons and the Danes. Um will we try to get these bands off?


I think I can do the ones around my ankles, I just need the one around my throat removed, so I can sit up.
Hmm, I think I know just the thing. 





What's that?
A crochet hook. 
A what?
Crochet hook. You can use it to make blankets and jumpers and things. 
Make things? So not everything's new. 
Yep, and nup, Tzeitel, I'll have to introduce you to her, she's really clever. And Trinity's really crafty, and ooh there ya all loose. 



Ah, what a relief, chokers really aren't that comfortable. They released me a little bit to pierce my ears, but straight back on after. Not nice. 


Woo, it's awesome to be anything other than straight. 


I'll just get my ankles, and 





Up, woah.
Let me help you. 


Thankyou so much. I don't even know your name. 
It's Mariana. 


Hi Mariana, ooh brrrr, it's so cold. 
It's winter. 
Yes, that's right, but how did you know?
It's June and well it's always winter in June, in Australia anyway. 
Oh, ah hahahaha. I thought you had guessed my name. 
Your name is Winter?
Yes, well that's how it sounds, it's spelled w h y n t a. 
Ooh I like that. Well Whynta, it's winter here and you need something warm.
I don't have anything warm. I was expecting to be in summer in America. Well then here's a blanket and sit in front of the heater, and I'll get you something I've got upstairs. 






Wow. 
I forgot the shoes. 


You go in the change room and I'll be back. 









That's better. 

How about you come meet our family. 
Family?
We're like a big family. Ooh and I bet the Thomas-Middletons have some nice warm muffins to try. 

139. Ever After High get new faces.



Kmart had some new face Ever After High dolls. 
Ashlynn did not look impressed. 
Shock is the new dolls are actually smiling. 






I didn't do it, but was tempted.
