To Mini or not too Mini the tale of two Mini's...>>>

-
Are cars Diorama items? Well in my book they are! Last week I received my new KEN Mini by Mattel and thought I would compare it to the Sindy (Hasbro) Mini
 Not sure what the fit would be like for the older Ken's but it's a little 'comfy' for two!
 The Ken car is smaller than Sindy's... no surprise there!


 Ken Car



 Sindy Car








As you can see Sindy's car has a lot more detail and is MUCH heavier. It has a roof and the boot (trunk) opens BUT I still like the Ken car too!

    Thanks for the comparison photos!
    What is the price range for both cars?

      Ken's car is about $30 (£20) and the Mini when it came out a couple of years ago was £30($45) so the Hasbro Mini was more money but better quality! I guess as the saying goes... you get what you pay for! LOL Mind you saying that Ken's car is good value I think!

    Love these comparison photos. Ken's Mini is a tight fit, but I do like that it's on the smaller side.

    I think it should be small, but this is just a tiny bit smaller than it should be?

I have a TON of doll clothing and after years of rummaging through bags and never finding what I'm looking for or even remembering what I have so I thought it was time I made some quick, simple and cheap storage.  The cheapest is to use a doll box and just fit a bar for hanging but I wanted something just a little more so this is what I came up with.... You will need Foamcore board I used 5mm thick board 60cm x 84cm Foam 2 Foam glue You can use any glue but this works best I think Ruler Tape measure Pencil Something sharp to cut with (craft knife Cutting board I have a big board but a smaller one would work Metal ruler if possible (Helps with cutting a straight line)  The rods are the metal rods from the Integrity Doll stands. They are great as they are adjustable.  All of the above can be found on E.Bay or craft stores I'm giving you the sizes I use but you can make your units any size you wish. Measure 40cm longways mark and cut put other piece of b...

Prams/ Stroller or what ever you call it!... Painting Plastic

I have a little bit of a thing for 'babies' Barbie and co babies that is. I also love prams/buggies/strollers or whatever! For some time I had wanted a mini pram like you see so much in human size these days. Imagine my excitement when I spotted the new Skipper Babysitter Inc pram, it looked (almost) perfect. As soon as I spotted one on Amazon I had to get it AND it was not silly expensive. The pram's come in yellow with a white baby and pink with a black Baby. (Not my photo's) For some reason the pink pram is very hard to find in England, but I did find one on Amazon. The height was good too and worked well with the taller IT dolls. As you can see I painted mine  So next the painting thing The base parts come apart pretty easy but the top peace (bucket) can not be taken apart. I wanted to paint the top of the bucket but leave the base grey. All the parts I did NOT want painted I coated with a couple of coats of school PVA glue While that...
