Haiyan Typhoon Charity Auction & Sale

Most, if not all, of you am sure are aware of the recent tragedy that is Typhoon Yolanda, or Haiyan Typhoon, as more commonly known in the West.  Said to be the worst ever Typhoon in the history to date, it struck the Philippines and left over 7,000 people dead ( with many more unaccounted for) and left millions of people with Nothing!  And I mean Nothing!  No houses, no clothing, no food, no livelihood...  Thanks to those who sent aid fast - from all over the world - people are getting some much needed help...  But as we know with something as devastating as this - much more Aid will be Needed for some time to come.

We, at R&D Collectibles, decided to do our share - and with the help of our many dolly friends worldwide - we will hold a Typhoon Haiyan Charity Auction / Sale come middle of December.  Now, we know that it means everyone will be in the midst of their Holiday preparations and Celebrations - but we do hope that you will take the time to look through and purchase something for a love one, family, friends or even for yourself!  It will just give your Dolly purchase a bit more meaning, knowing that your $$$ will help the victims of Haiyan Typhoon.

Donations are coming in from friends all over the world...  And they are all exciting and worthy of being added to your collections.  We've got dolls galore:  FR Alysa from the recent Integrity Convention Donated by the Vintage Goddess and a couple of Vintage Gene Dolls from Franklin Lim Liao - all dolls are in the USA; a very pretty Darla Daley with enhanced make up is donated by Danny Collectible from Thailand; and all the way from Spain, we are happy to get the breathtaking "Madrid Premier Beauty Barbie" - she comes to us from the Great Folks of Madrid Fashion Doll Club... 

We will also have a few OOAK dolls donated by some of the Great talents  from the Philippine doll group, PNN (Cho:lo, The House of Garcia, Pole Thor, Anj Calvo, Marc Vandro, to name a few...)  - most of you already know them online, and from my collaborative work with them for the past few IFDC Conventions - so those will be truly exciting to look forward to...; And we are truly hoping to bring you many more...  All in hopes of being able to do and give what we can for the Victims.

I hope to have the page up by the 15th of December...  And hope that we can have the Sale/Auction completed by the 30th...  Giving everyone a couple of weeks to peruse and do your share.

As I have done in my  previous Fundraisers, all monies collected will be donated to the Red Cross and UNICEF, for the Typhoon Victims, two of the most trustworthy organizations - am sure you would agree.  

So please stay tuned...  mark your calendars and spread the word...  Together we can all make a difference...  Happy Holidays!!!

 

===========================

Who is He is Kissing? Is it Her or Is It Me? 

  

It's not always easy to lead a double life: top music industry mogul by day and international pop-star by night! Yes, it's a little easier when you have a highly advanced computer changing your appearance at the flick of an earring, but living the life of two very distinct personalities is not easy. How are you supposed to let your boyfriend know about this fantastic secret? How do you tell him that the other woman he's strangely attracted to is also you? Who is he kissing?

 

 

Based on one of the most popular looks of the original TV series, the "WHO IS HE KISSING" Giftset features both Jem and Jerrica Benton wearing their corresponding version of the Flip Side fashion called "Getting Down to Business", which was sold as a stand alone costume in the original 80's toy line by HASBRO.

 

 

Loaded with cool accessories, this two-doll set arrives at your favorite Integrity Toys dealers just in time for Christmas for some Truly Outrageous holiday cheer!

 

About this Flip Side gift set...  

 

Created as a clever way to "transform" the original Jerrica Benton doll into her alter-ego, the mysterious rock star Jem, "Flip Side" fashions are basically reversible or transformable costumes that can be used to create multiple looks out of the same matching pieces. Flip Sides were typically composed of a more conservative, yet ultra-feminine "business like" look to match Jerrica Benton's stoic personality and a more fun/glamorous stage look for Jem. The various looks could be achieved by either removing or adding certain parts of the costume or sometimes, by turning the components inside out. The original Flip Side fashions always came with a hat to hide the doll's pink hair strands to further help create the illusion that the doll was in fact two dolls in one!

 

In this fabulous updated version by the Integrity Toys design team, the two looks are clearly defined on separate dolls and more in-tune with the way these cool costumes were portrayed on the original TV series. All of the pieces are included to create the two distinctive, yet matching looks that totally pay homage to the creative work of the team who worked on the original HASBRO line back in the 80s!

Skellita's Turn!

In Celebration of the Mexican Holiday, which I love, Day of the Dead...  

Honoring not the Zombies but our dearly departed,

Skellita joined by a few Skull Bearbricks, gets a turn in the Spotlight!

Actually, out of all the Monster High Dolls issued so far,

Skellita - issued in 2012 -  is the one I like Best...  not sure why there is no follow up thus far...  maybe it is because the kiddies, TARGET MARKET for the dolls are way too scared of her....  but surely, there is enough Adult collectors who are IN LOVE with this beauty...

 

Skellita is  even the real reason why I ended up

with this much of a collection...   18 and growing...  LOL!!!

I only wish that this version was issued.., or maybe someone will be kind enough

 to make a Custom Version of this for me?  Pretty Please!!!
