Went shopping and bought all needed products to cook chicken curry. My major purchase will be a French Riviera property https://tranio.com/france/cote_d_azur/ this June, can't wait

Why did the dollhouse have to learn there is such a plastic crack thing as Zuzu Mini Brands? And one seller can't have strawberry Suave, Knorr side dishes, and the ustahold margarine? Because the only thing cuter than a dollhouse is a dollhouse with minis of stuff we actually use.

And if anyone else gets in to them yes I might be interested in buying already opened ones. I don't like blind bags because of reasons.

I'm waiting for payday to come so I can raid my local Walmart of these. My dolls demand their house to be well stocked.

When my orders come in I will have doubles for trading. I'll get ones at the store if I find them but otherwise after doing the math I was evening out $2 or under per item with shipping and the peace of mind I'll have what I want. I saw someone opened a ball and had doubles, my blind bag luck would have all 5 being the same of something I already had three of :p

At least with Re Ment and similar stuff you knew the carton had a full set or two similar sets with color variants and the occasional special item.

Well, I had to go out and get a case myself... (which is apparently 12 balls, or 60 things)
Image

Each column is one ball, I didn't get any duplicated in the same ball, but ended up with a lot of the little shopping baskets and bacon bits... Sadly I didn't get any Hostess Cupcakes, or Moonpies... Or creamy peanut butter, only crunchy bleh.

All in all some pretty good stuff, need to go through it with the girls to see what they want on their shelves.

I found 8 balls at my local Walmart and snapped them up as fast as I could. I was very happy to find the vegan I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, since one of the boys has a severe milk allergy. I really hope the restock again soon, I plan to get more when I get paid again.

My haul of the 5 Surprise Mini Brands (Pardon Seth's feet in the shot, he's the only thing keeping the balls from rolling across my lopsided kitchen table and knocking things over. Again.):

Really excited for all th food stuffs, and super happy that the only thing I can't really use is the Axe. All the other bigger stuff can just be value sized, and I can always use the Axe as an advertisement/display in a store, right?

@oniakki Big score with the Pez! That's one that sellers are charging stupid prices for along with the gold ones.
@Kattriella There are shaving Kens who could use that Axe... Someone on Tumblr said the scales might be betetr for Tonner and 40cm or they're like giant Costco size.

I don't mind some things being a bit big, ReMent can be a bit wonky like that, and it's kind of cute to see small dolls using big things.

My dolls will definitely be looking for Hormel Chili and a couple other food items. I have one ball coming and might get the occasional one as I see them in the stores but I'll probably stick to already opened lots so my plastic crack addiction doesn't get the better of me.

Finding a balance between ReMent, true 1:6 scale, Barbie/fashion doll accessories, and mini toys can be an interesting challenge, especially when you plan to put them all in the same room. And even more so when some of your dolls are a little wonky in proportion to them. Like the FR line from Integrity Toys. They're a bit taller than most fashion dolls, but they're not tall enough to be 1:4 scale, so they just end up being super tall people my my doll world. Then there's the Obitsu 21cm girl who is MEANT to be short, but she looks like a child beside the giants that are my IT Homme boys. Which is fitting since her character is only 4'9", but it still makes for some interesting framing issues for photos. (Also, she still has no face because I haven't had time to give her one. :P Neither does one of the other girls, though, so yeah.) It's really funny seeing her holding the slightly oversized Shopkins Mini Packs, though. Somehow, she looks so mad at being so small, and she doesn't even have a face.

Didn't need to see all those cute tiny things aaahhh! Pretty sure my Wally's doesn't have those at all. I do have a bunch extra of the 'World's Smallest Toys' if anyone is interested in a trade for their doubles.
Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.
